A-Frame Escape | Firepit Nights + Lake Days

We had a great time at Pocono Cardinal House. The place has everything we needed for our stay - from a high chair for infant to high quality appliances. Leo’s A-frame is nicely designed with thoughtful touches that make your stay very comfortable. He also kept the place spotless and brand new. Highly recommend for a family get together.

Awesome place for family

Amazing stay! The house was spotless, well-organized, and exactly as advertised. Everything was clear, comfortable, and well taken care of. We would definitely stay here again!

Very nice house

It has been my best Airbnb stay so far. The place is top notch with great amenities. Host was active and very helpful. This place is great for all seasons. Would definitely recommend it and will be going back soon.

Top notch stay

Our stay here at Cardinal house was great! Leo was a great host who was very informative from the time we booked our stay and very responsive! The house was beautiful inside and out!! I cooked during our stay and I did not want for anything in the kitchen so yes, the kitchen is fully stocked! If you are coffee drinkers you will love the coffee maker they have! The scenery around the property is beautiful as well. Definitely be sure to drive as there is nothing close by. We plan on coming back to the Poconos in the summer and I will be booking with Leo at this location again!
