Summary: There were 17 of us who stayed at the Otter Lodge for a weekend. The hosts were extremely responsive to our requests before and during our stay. There was plenty of room! The house was very clean and beautiful. We are looking forward to staying again!
Michael G. Sep 2, 2025 12:24:15 AM
Summary: My family had such a wonderful time! The place was furnished with just about everything you could need. The hosts were so responsive and easy to communicate with. We are thinking about making this a yearly tradition since we had such a great time!
Greg R. Aug 11, 2025 12:46:37 AM
Summary: Otter Lodge is a gem! Great home and property layout for a small group. The house is well maintained and offers great amenities. The local area offers enough to do away from the home but we spent two evenings dining in and enjoying the house. Jason, the host is super attentive and a good guy. A solid two thumbs up from me and my college buds.
Elana L. Aug 9, 2025 10:58:27 PM
Summary: Otter Lodge was beautiful. The kitchen fit our needs perfectly with 2 stoves and a large, natural wood table that accommodated our family. We had a few issues that made our stay drop from excellent to good, but Ashita and Jason were very pro-active, responsive, and communicated well. We would definitely recommend staying here!
Dean K. Jul 22, 2025 12:09:03 AM

Amy H. Dec 29, 2024 07:13:20 AM
Summary: This property is absolutely amazing! We have been staying in the Poconos for Christmas for many years and this property is hands down the best we have stayed! Everything was thought of and host was so responsive! 10 stars!
April H. Oct 23, 2024 02:36:51 AM
Summary: The one word that everyone kept using over and over again when they saw this house was "amazing!" Both the house and the property. While you are just off a main road, views from both sides of the house would never give that away. The place was so well stocked that we ate most of our meals in and just enjoyed hanging out together. Highly recommend for a family or friend reunion.
