Recommendations for inns/cabins in the Poconos?
I recently traveled to a wedding in Maine with a friend, and we stayed at a gorgeous resort (Migis Lodge) on Sebago Lake. We had our own beautiful cabin with TWO beds (just friends), a deck overlooking the lake, and a real, crackling fireplace. Another plus is that all meals were included and served in the dining room.
We'd like to stay in a similar place in the Poconos. Does anyone have recommendations for a rustic, but not romantic (just friends!) vaykay? A lodge-type situation like Migis would be great, but can be expensive. A cabin with a kitchen would also work, but all of the rental sites I've visited give vague descriptions and a lot of the cabins look pretty rundown. A TV and fireplace are key. We just want to escape the city for a few days and relax. Not necessary, but it would also be nice to be near a cute town with food, coffee, etc.

Whatever you do, avoid Penn Hills Resort.
People email me every few weeks every summer thanking me for warning them off.

Bischwind B&B. And for breakfast and lunches, GO TO THE Bear Creek Cafe.

I should have said that very thing first off, heed this advice, it's spot on!
*bites tongue at mention of any county other than Monroe being considered Poconos*

If you'd like to email me I can tell you about other places in the Poconos if you like, I just picked the first places I thought of that were nice enough to mention, but more importantly - I can tell you WHAT/WHERE TO AVOID!!!
