Had a great dinner at Magnolia! We are getting married here in August so wanted to check out the restaurant now that they're open. Food and service are great!! I recommend trying the eggplant Parmesan, chef let us try a bit ahead of us choosing our wedding menu and I wish I ordered it as my entree. We will definitely be back to dine outside once the patio is open at the end of the month. read more

Make sure to reserve a table along the stream or you'll find yourself at a huge table that just feels odd, especially when it's only two of you. For the record, I'd give 3 stars but my wife said no. The bar isn't stocked very well, if you like gin bring your own you'll be drinking tangeray. The peach salad was just okay. The peaches were too soft. And the "roasted potatoes" was a potato in a few slices that never saw a speck of salt. Salt it yourself you say? I would, but there is no salt or pepper on the tables. NOTE to all restaurants: your cooks aren't all perfect, put salt on the freaking tables. That said, the duck was cooked perfectly. Perhaps the best I ever had. read more

Beautiful and serene surroundings while enjoying excellent drinks and food. Listening to the stream is so relaxing. We started off with the "peach caprese" salad which was the best salad I have had all summer. The wood fired margarita pizza was delicious and perfectly prepared. We finished off with Poconos cheesecake which was Yummy. This place is five star for a casual delicious dinner with an incredible views and vibe, read more

Magnolia streamside resort is a MUST when planning a family vacation or weekend trip. My kids loved being able to roam around & explore the beautiful scenery they have. Theres plenty of stores, restaurants && attractions only 15-20mins away. Being able to sit on a lake & enjoy the relaxation & sounds of the stream is a huge plus for adults. I cannot express how much myself, my girlfriend & the kids enjoyed this place! The staff is so helpful & so amazing as well! I cannot thank them enough for the great work they do && how accommodating they are. HIGHLY RECOMMEND 10/10 read more

10/10 Cheyenne & staff was the best. great location, great scenery & top notch service. would definitely do it again!

Be careful when booking. When initially considering booking a few days, I told the representative that I wasn't sure if I could do the dates we discussed. The representative said why don't you just book it and as long as you give 1 week advance notice, you can cancel and receive refund. However, when did need to cancel, I was told that I would not receive a full refund and they held 10% "cancellation fee". I feel they misrepresented the arrangement and I don't plan on staying here in the future. read more

When booking I was under the impression from my research that this was pretty secluded. It is super close to the street especially if you are in certain cottages. We tried to look past that and see what this place had to offer. The women who greeted us and checked us in were very kind and friendly. Our cottage was adorable. It had a stone tick tac toe board on the porch with a swing , chairs , table and grille. Key pad made it super easy and inside was extremely clean and taken care of. The bathroom was a decent size, they had a full kitchen with some items in the cabinets to use. A kitchen table, AC , a very cute fireplace and a living room area. Couch was really uncomfortable but we were outside most of the time. We decided to explore behind our cottage and they really put in work with the detail that went into this place. They had a "igloo" with comfy seating , fire pits and couches. A big chess board on the floor , games by the pool and swing chairs by the stream. They had a canoe that we were looking forward to take but the area to use it is super small so we decided against it. The running stream was super relaxing but from check in at 3 to about 630 they were making a tiki bar and you couldn't relax with the noise. Being we only were staying less than 24 hours that really bummed us out. We also booked on air bnb and it stated there was no kitchen/grille so we didn't bring anything to cook and had to eat out instead of hanging at our cottage. Our diffuser was empty also. But all in all, the place is very clean, once you are at the back of the resort it is peaceful and they have a bunch of places to relax. It's definitely family friendly and they offer a bunch of things to do: They do offer WiFi. I loved the idea of no TVs.. we took the time to play cards that they also had in the cottage ( along with other board games) the pool was pretty and fenced off. They had ping pong games and A fire pit right by the pool. They had a coop to check out. You also could get married here. They have a simple and cute set up by the stream. They do have a candy shop, a few restaurants , CVS very very close by. This place was clean , cute and unique and I would recommend to stay here even though we had some few hiccups. read more

Myself and a group of friends had the most amazing experience here last weekend! We arrived on a Saturday shortly after Noon and were shown to our cottage, the Loveshack. The cottage was awesome, very cleann, and big and lofty with plenty of space for our group of 5. We were welcomed by the host with a choice of different essential oils to choose from (I chose balance) which she proceeded to place in a cool mist humidifier. The whole process was lovely! The cottage had a large deck where we ate our meals, and a hammock that we made sure was always occupied. Right next to the deck there was a large fire pit, where we all winded down in the evening. The grounds of the resort are beautifully kept and so peaceful! There is a beautiful stream that runs throughout the property and you can hear its gentle murmuring wherever you are! There's also two hiking trails on the property, which was great for our group! I can't recommend this place highly enough, and I can't wait to go back soon! read more

Provided the Perfect Wedding and Weekend Stay for Our Guests! This place is truly amazing! I cannot stress enough how grateful I am to have found this venue for not only our ceremony/reception but our whole wedding weekend! The venue itself is gorgeous. It has this secluded atmosphere with a beautiful stream that runs through the resort which ensures the perfect setting for a more rustic feel. Our wedding turned out to be better than we could have even dreamed and it is entirely thanks to the amazing staff at Magnolia. The owner, Inna, is such a warm-hearted person and she truly treats every couple like they are part of her family with the care and devotion she puts into ensuring your day is magical. Cheyenne is the event coordinator for the resort and calling this woman a godsend is an understatement! I CANNOT imagine having planned this wedding (during Covid no less) without her holding my hand the entire way. From start to finish she was by our side the entire way...from the beginning brainstorming to Covid complications and postponing craziness to the final stages of helping make our day perfect! As if having these two isn't enough to be eternally grateful for the rest of their staff is just as incredible! The head chef did a superb job with the dinner and the waitstaff & bartenders were fantastic. Every one of them takes that extra step and cares about you and your guests as if you/they are their own family. We now have so many happy memories of our special day and still have guests telling us how beautiful everything was. Magnolia truly delivers an experience far beyond your imagination that you will love remembering forever! read more

My husband and I recently took our two grandsons (ages 2.5 and 4.5) for a week in the Poconos. We stayed at Magnolia Streamside Resort and had a lovely stay. Everyone who worked at the resort from the owners to office staff to maintenance and construction staff were very friendly and welcoming. I was somewhat nervous about traveling with the pandemic and had multiple e-mail conversations and one phone conversation with an owner and a staff member. My questions were thoroughly answered politely and in detail. Favorite activities of our grandsons included: throwing rocks in the river (which is gorgeous), playing Pooh Sticks from the bridge, playing with the large Connect Four game in the common area, and swimming. They also enjoyed looking at the chickens. Area activities that we did that were a lot of fun included: Bushkill Falls (they mined for gems), Camelback Mountain (mountain rollercoaster) and Promised Land State Park lake and beach. We stayed in the Evergreen Suite, which was a little small for our needs but we were happy to get the place just a week before we left. If we return, we would get a cabin. Also know that the resort is under construction to add a restaurant, more cabins, and tree houses. The construction going on was not a problem and the boys enjoyed watching the machinery. The swimming pool water was greenish and my husband inquired about it to the person who maintains the pool. He explained that it wasn't algae. The water comes from the stream which has a copper content and when chlorine is added, it causes a green hue. In short, we enjoyed our stay very much and hope to go back in the future. read more

Stayed at the garden for 4 nights and enjoyed it. Great spot to get away and loved the wood burning stove inside. Plenty of outdoor activities to do within 45 minutes away such as hiking, horse back riding and the house of candles. Casino isn't too far and the friendly lady at the front desk made some good suggestions such as a good pizza place about 10-15 minutes away from the cabin. Also a shop right and Walmart within half hr away. Cabin was clean and felt safe, will be staying here again and would recommend giving it a try read more

We very much enjoyed our stay here this past weekend with our only regret being getting in so late on Friday (ie not a lot of time to enjoy the property). My wife's parents live in the Poconos so we usually stay wit them. This time we left the kids at the Grandparents house, took up another couple, and decided to relax and brewery hop. We stayed at the Moss Cottage (3 bed, 2 bath). Important to note, one of the bathrooms (upstairs room) has an actual bath (not shower) and no door to the toilet. If you are shy, you need to close the bedroom door for restroom use. The actual bath did not bother us- wife and I could not remember last time we used a jacuzzi bath. The $500/night is pricey however split with another couple or two makes it more affordable. We did not partake in any prepared meals- cooked our own breakfast and ate by the fire we made. Lots of chickens roam the grounds during the day which is fun. They didn't bother us at all, just fun to watch. The stream running through was super relaxing to listen to while outside. Our cottage was in the back so we did not see/hear any cars or lights. We would for sure stay here again. read more

This is a wonderful place to stay if you're looking for an escape! We stayed in Pine Cottage which was perfect for two people. Everything felt super clean, cozy, and private. It snowed during most of our stay, which gave us a great excuse to turn up the heat, sit by the fireplace, and enjoy the stream. We were able to easily cook in the kitchen since it was stocked with dishware, cookware, utensils, and a coffee maker. There were playing cards and board games in the cottage, but it's easy enough to make your own fun with your friends/family at the resort. Once we arrived on the property for check-in, we didn't leave until checkout. I would come back here in a heartbeat, but next time I'd like to come in the summer so we can explore outside more. read more

Definitely a great place to escape for a weekend. Brought the lady here to enjoy the wilderness and have peace of mind from the city and such. Snowed which added a great calming tone to the area which already had an excellent vibe. If you're looking for a getaway that gives you privacy and such, this is defiantly it. I'll definitely be back since you have everything you need to enjoy either your time alone to recharge or with a partner or family to explore the woods, have a campfire, cook (which they have all the utensils and pans). This place does have WiFi which is nice to listen to some music, but it is an excellent feeling to just place your electronics away and be free. I'll absolutely be back, but next time in the spring/summer to see the growth and for fishing. read more

Charged unauthorized fees after checking out of $400!!!when asked why said for "extra cleaning" yet we left the room spotless. Asked foe proof that extra cleaning was needed, said wont provide. Asked what's the difference between regular cleaning and extra cleaning? Said they sanitize everything. It's covid time, isn't that mandatory anyway? Said yes but they do extra lol what? Rude and unhelpful on the phone. read more

Let me just start off by first saying it was impossible to get in touch with Cheyenne the coordinator. She's the only one that does the bookings and it took a week just to get a hold of her which I thought was unprofessional but was really set on having my wedding here because of the rustic look I was going for. I had high hopes in having my wedding at the magnolia streamside resort this October. Unfortunately bad things happen sometimes and I had to call off my wedding. This was so painful for me to do and as if I wasn't going through so much heart break as it was. I was fully aware that I signed a contract knowing my deposit for the date we picked was non refundable. Instead of asking for my money back. I asked if I could use that money to still stay the weekend at the resort with friends instead. I asked The wedding coordinator Cheyenne first and she told me no. When I asked why she said it was against policy. I read through the policy and saw nothing in it that said I couldn't use that money towards another weekend or that same weekend to stay let alone in my contract. I really hate writing bad reviews but the events taken place and The unprofessionalism emanating from this establishment have really screamed for one and is well deserved. I then asked if I could speak to the owner of the establishment in which I did and when I explain to her the situation I was given a very fake "I'm sorry to hear that" before receiving a big fat "NO" to using the deposit towards a weekend or even a partial of the deposit. Nothing to remedy the situation or let alone make a potential bride feel better about a terrible situation. It was either get married or you're beat out of your money. I've never seen anyone do business like this before that was so dirty and disgusting. They wanted me to sign a form for canceling and after reading through it was just the most sketchy form I've ever read. I have brought the matter to my attorney and I'm currently going through the process with my attorney. Below are photos that I attached that were my contract as well as the forms that they wanted me to sign after I wanted to cancel the wedding as well as a text message between me and the wedding coordinator Cheyenne. After this experience I obviously will never come back here let alone refer anybody here. I ask that everybody please please read between the fine print and don't make the same mistake I did by ignoring all the red flags that they so carefully decorated. This place is a scam in a complete rip off and Wayover priced that I was almost stupid enough to pay for. Do you research before coming to this place. Or just heed my warning and avoid this dumpster fire all together. read more

I was soo happy with this place, it's so peaceful & friendly. My all time favorite resort. So many nice things about the magnolia resort, we stayed at the moss cottage. It was so beautiful. Everything about this resort is amazing. Especially the lakefront, who wouldn't want to wake up to that view. The only thing they're strict about is when it comes to check out, you have to leave at 11. They will come to the door at 10:59 to remind you lol which is fine we respect that. I highly recommend this place & we're definitely looking forward to going back soon !! read more

First off I really appreciate what the new owners are aspiring to do with the resort, however I don't think it's quite at a 5 star rating based off of our experiences. We booked over the phone a few weeks prior to our stay at the Garden Cottage which the pictures online are lovely (props to the photographer). When arriving, we were surprised how much smaller the property is compared to what was perceived on the website. Not an issue, just something to keep in mind. Also upon inquiry, the chef prepared meals require 24 hour advance notice and the fishing pond is an additional cost to utilize but they do offer rod rentals. What sold us on this location was the peacefulness of not dealing with a TV (something of which we don't do at home either), the little touches like essential oils, and of course the stream. For our stay we actually ended up leaving a day earlier than we booked. Though the cottage looked beautiful and was clean to normal rental standards, the main bedroom smelled heavily damp with a slight mold musk. We even moved the diffuser into the bedroom to see if it would help.. not so much. Even the sheets on the bed were damp and extremely uncomfortable to sleep on. The bed was also like padded plywood in softness.. ouch. In the morning, we noticed there seems to be or have been a water issue with black mold showing up in the corners of the room near the window and on the walls (white towel was black when wiping it from the wall). Now we did just have a bit of rain earlier in the week but when we arrived, sunny and in the high 80's. Given the staining on the wall, this isn't something new and perhaps carried over from the other owners? I did not address this with the owners prior to our departure as it wouldn't have changed our minds on whether or not to stay with two small children. We did partake in the playground and pool which are well kept and appreciated. The property is close to a not highly traveled road, but enough to notice the vehicles passing by while inside the cottage (both lights and noise). They also have a slew of chickens in various breeds which were fun to have creep up in the garden and watch while hanging outside. We would recommend to maybe include hand towels/wash towels/etc in addition to bath towels for guests. read more

From being greeted warmly and receiving lavender aroma for our cabin to the fabulous jacuzzi, warm and cozy fireplace and comfortable beds to being next to a stream -- my family loved it. Highly recommend the magnolia! read more

Amazing! Service and staff are great, had an amazing weekend and will be back soon! Everything is always spotless and see even more upgrades coming soon. read more

This place outside was beautiful but the inside was not so much. The house smelled of dog and mold. We had to continuously open all the windows to air out the house. It was super dusty and the sheets had stains on them. Definitely just needs a deep clean and this place would be perfect. It was a nice place to get away and relax. read more

My boyfriend took me here for a nice long weekend away from work and NYC life. It was nothing short of an amazing stay! The cabins are cozy, beautiful, very clean, and spacious. The area outside is breathtaking and we even got to see it covered in snow! Everyone there was very attentive and recommended all the cute places to visit. Highly recommend Magnolia Streamside for a peaceful retreat you will not regret. Cannot wait to come back. Thank you girls! read more

As Bette Davis said...What a Dump! This is not nestled in the woods as indicated on their site, it is steps from Rt, 390 with cars wizzing by, this is not restful and relaxing, Lets start with the bathroom...no storage space, there was what we thought was a linen closet but turned out to be for the water heater. We had to put our toiletries on the window sill. No anti skid bottom on the tub, so be careful taking a shower and the water smells horribly of iron. Thread bare towels that have been used long and hard. Bedroom has no chest of drawers as shown in their picture so you live out of your suitcase the entire stay. The bed is the worst bed we ever slept on and the pillows were baby sized. M&Ms found on the floor and trash behind the nightstand so not a thorough cleaning. LR had trash under the sofa, kitchen had a refrigerator with about 1/4 inch of dust on the top, a refrigerator that was missing some dividers in the door so you couldn't put anything in them or they would roll out on the floor. Also in the refrig was a bowl of Cheerios in milk with a spoon in it. No one checked the frig from the previous guests stay....DISGUSTING! Do not touch the top of the built in microwave, ewww...gross! No one comes to your room to make the bed or clean up after you which we knew, but then they leave an envelope asking for a gratuity. We cleaned the cabin and left it cleaner than when we got there. 1 steak knife so when we ate our steaks we had to share. The biggest complaint was in their advertising, they say every cabin has a view of the bubbling stream. What did we have? All our back windows were covered with a poop and dirt stained canopy. We went to the office to complain and the girl answered we are having a wedding this weekend but I will speak with management but they will probably do nothing, and they didn't so we kept our curtains closed, creating a tomb like atmosphere. The only window left to see the stream was if you stood on your toilet and looked out the bathroom window. You have to decide, are you going to please your guests or a couple getting married and if the couple win, don't rent out the PINE CABIN. DO NOT STAY HERE, we actually left early because of the conditions. If you stay there, it is on you because we warned you! read more

Boho living and lounging in the Poconos- a great weekend retreat! The new owners have placed a lot of attention and detail to the restoration of the resort, and even though the amenities have been upgraded, the cabins still feel very rustic and quaint. The property has plenty to offer: nice views of the stream, some happy chicken pets that make the kids happy, lawn games and the guesthouse offers a nice lounge area with a beautiful fireplace and big family-style dinner table. Management takes a very holistic approach to hosting, so they encourage farm-to-table dining (with some local produce offered by farmer friends), and meditation opportunities in the garden and lounge area. The rooms are affordable and the service is excellent! Book a room and de-stress! read more
