I highly recommend this cabin for a gathering with family and friends. We stayed here for a long weekend and could not have been happier. The kitchen is fully equipped, the house is very comfortable, the hot tub and pool table are wonderful asset for family and friend gatherings. We were a group of approximately 15 people and everyone was very comfortable. It is 15 minutes from Camelback ski mountain and Resort making this an ideal location for a ski weekend. The owner is very flexible and communicates quickly and easily. I will 100% stay here again if in the area. Highly recommended. Probably one of the best VRBOs I've stayed in with regards to the kitchen amenities.

We had a wonderful stay here. The check-in was smooth and easy to follow. The house matched the pictures and description. In fact, it almost felt like these didn’t do it justice, as it felt more spacious than it looked. We had everything that we needed in terms of appliances or kitchenware. The host was very responsive, when we had a question or needed anything. This was a great place, and we would look to stay here in the future!

We had six adults and three children in our party. We stayed at Incognito for a week. The house was spotless, as other posters have reported, and quite comfortable. The Lake view, and access, really made the property. The kitchen was well equipped, and the house itself was far enough from the neighbors to feel private.

Perfect House/Property for Larger Groups!

We were a group of 14 adults, and we all thought this was the perfect house for a group of our size. We were very happy with the entire experience. The house and property were great, large enough for our big group to spread out and have plenty of space, great sleeping arrangements and comfortable beds. House was also very clean and orderly. Amazing outdoor space with great amenities on the property. Pond is swimmable, but not as swimmable and clean as some of the other lakes in the area, which you do have access to if you buy the amenities passes. Great and fast communication from the host as well, who was immediately responsive to all of our needs or questions. Overall, a 10/10 experience and we'd definitely consider renting this property again in the future.

A weekend escape

Myself and six friends stayed at Inn Kognito to disconnect from everyday life for a weekend. The home was amazing and exactly what we needed. It was very spacious so it didn't feel like we were on top of each other at all. The beds were extremely comfortable. The kitchen, dining space, and living rooms were also 5 stars. Overall the experience was perfect. My friends and I are no considering doing such a trip once a year and if we're back in the Poconos area again, Inn Kognito will be at the top of the list for accomodations.

Getaway weekend

We had a wonderful weekend! Our group of 6 adults found the place big enough to hang out and have meals together. We were able to have our own bedroom during our stay. The house was located close to the water edge. Deer roamed through the property. We were able to enjoy the newly installed hot tub. The host was attentive and answered any questions quickly and clearly.
