Great place! Don’t mind the many creaks; she just has a lot to say! Lots of steps too so just be aware if that’s not your thing. We had a great time and it was perfect for us. Super clean and conveniently located to all the places we wanted to visit (Shady Maple, Lancaster, Reading, Strasberg Railroad).

Visited area to shop antique and thrift stores. Loved the atmosphere in this quaint "village" right out of Europe. We had dinner at the Village Haus, which was only a 150 ft walk! We felt right at home in the townhome which offers everything you need. Will definitely return!

Was a wonderful place to stay and also available so close the our family. It was clean and so quiet, we were able to enjoy the restaurant and local shops at our leisure. So close to many larger cities to explore. Will seek to stay here again. Thank you

It was the perfect meeting spot for old friends who live far apart, and needed a place to simply enjoy each other’s company. It was the perfect amount of space to be together and have some personal space. Having beautiful areas to sit, walk, and shop and live music, right outside your door was the icing on the cake!

We had a family wedding at the nearby iron spire facility. This was a great location for our family. 3 large bedrooms and a well stocked kitchen. The village has some cute stores and restaurants. You will hear a bit of noise from the shop downstairs during normal business hours. Also there is live music outside on weekend but ones a done by 10:00. Would stay again if in the area .

Quaint village. Very much a Bavarian Village. The Octoberfest was outstanding. Many food and drink options. Great entertainment. I hope they continue this event and add others as well. The house overall was very spacious. I do feel the living room furniture needs updating. Plenty of room in the whole house. Great for multiple people. Would be nice to add some outside chairs and benches to sit in along the front in the village square. Overall, I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a nice quiet place to enjoy family and friend time. I will consider this exact home in the future.

We needed a place to fit our family of 6 for a wrestling tournament in downtown Reading. We were about 18 minutes away on an easy drive. The place was perfect for our family and had everything. With half days of wrestling this gave us a great place to unwind and spread out at costs similar to the hotels closer to town. The village was very cool to walk around and extremely safe. If we find ourselves needing a place to stay in this area, we will be back!

Stoudtburg Village is just about the cutest place that we have stayed. It is a quiet village with a bonus of shops around the village, and across the road that we walked to. The house itself was perfect for our needs and had everything that we needed in the kitchen. We have stayed at other houses within VRBO and others and have had to go out to buy some of the items that we needed, we didn't have to do that here. My only drawback was that the upstairs bathroom needed some updates, but was still usable without a problem for our long weekend. We would definitely stay here again when in the area.

The unit itself was quite nice. The surrounding village was quiet through the week. On the Friday we were there, the restaurant across the courtyard had live music outdoors that was entertaining.

Enjoyed the stay and amenities, we had a rainy and windy weekend which led the Handle Haus sign to bang against the front of the building all night. Couldn’t get the fireplace to light. Other than those setbacks, it was great.

This neighborhood is so adorable ! Walking around outside made you deal like you were in another country. From the most adorable houses to the extremely well manicured lawns, courtyards, shops etc, the German restaurant had live music outside Friday night that you could hang out by the fountain or enjoy from your apartment. What a hidden gem !

It was wonderful to be able to walk to the wedding venue. The size of the property is great. Communication was very good with host. Nice to have the pub/German beer place right across the square. Parking was super easy. We think the decor could definitely use a refresh. Some footrests were ripped and paint needed touching up. Perhaps a refresh on the linens would be a good idea too. Would also be a good idea to have signs on the downstairs doors as it does get a bit confusing. The host listed this on notes but signs would be helpful. Not a big deal though.

The house was just as pictured. It was perfect for our family weekend vacation. We stayed 5 days/4 nights over Labor Day weekend with our three teenagers plus our niece, also a teenager. The kids had the entire third level and loved it. We had the main floor. The table was perfect for game nights - which we had 3 out of our 4 nights. The village is quiet, not many shops left. The wine shop is great. We found plenty to do within 30 minutes of the village. We plan on coming back again!
