We've stayed at this property on multiple occasions and we love how remote, clean, and comfortable it is for our large group. We literally use every square inch and the large kitchen and ample outdoor space provide all of the necessary comforts away from home.

I celebrated my 65 birthday spending A long weekend with my family. This place was perfect unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate but Landon’s place was big enough to be able to enjoy spending time together without having to go outdoors.

Lisa - Posted: 4/7/2025

Thank you, Lisa! It's great to hear that you chose to celebrate your birthday with your family in our space. We're glad that the size of the home allowed you to enjoy quality time together, despite the weather. We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again for your next celebration!

“This was my second time staying at this amazing home, and once again, it exceeded my expectations! The place is spotless, beautifully designed, and feels like a home away from home. The host is incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure everything is perfect. The location is great, and everything is well thought out for a comfortable stay. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning!”

We stayed with a very large group of 21 adults and kids. The property was spacious and comfortable. We stayed during the winter, but I’m sure in spring and summertime with the lake. This property would be adorable. The only recommendation I would make is to upgrade their beds and mattresses which are kind of old and uncomfortable.

Tolga - Posted: 1/19/2025

Thank you for your feedback, Tolga! We're glad to hear that you and your group enjoyed the spaciousness of the property. We appreciate your suggestion regarding the beds and mattresses, and we will certainly take it into consideration as we strive to enhance our' experience. We hope to welcome you back in the future!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this absolutely stunning Airbnb property nestled in the mountains, and I can't recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the breathtaking views and the charming design of the cabin. It truly felt like a home away from home, complete with all the amenities you could need for a cozy stay.
The highlight of our experience was undoubtedly our host, Landon who went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful time. Landon was incredibly responsive, providing us with local tips and recommendations that enhanced our visit. Landon’s warm hospitality made us feel welcomed and cared for throughout our stay.
However, I must mention that the steep driveway can be quite treacherous, especially in snowy conditions. On my way up the driveway the car ahead of us started to slide down the icy slope, which was alarming and could have led to a serious accident.
Overall, despite the driveway challenges this property is a gem!

Thank you, Sheila! I appreciate your detailed feedback. It's great to know you felt at home and enjoyed the views and amenities. I’m glad we were able to enhance your experience with our local insights. We’ll take your concerns about the driveway into consideration for future guests. Hope to see you again!

Sometimes you want to get away from it all and just relax.
No TV - No problem! . The spiritual messages and scriptures were just what we needed to be at peace.
Landon and his team are the gold standard!
Well worth every dollar spent !!
The memories we made this weekend are priceless!
Thanks so much
The Miller Family

Billy - Posted: 11/29/2024

Thank you, Billy! We're glad you and your family found the peace and relaxation were looking for. Our team appreciates your kind words, and we’re grateful to have been a part of your memorable weekend. We hope to welcome you back soon!

The purpose of our stay was for a small marriage ceremony for our daughter. The house and the venue worked perfectly. The actual ceremony was held on the deck at the dock house by the lake. The weather was perfect and the setting was very beautiful. We then had dinner with our party on the patio and there was plenty of room, and access to the downstairs kitchen was convenient. There was a lot of outdoor counter space to put out the food. The setting was very beautiful. We really enjoyed the large fire pit that evening. The next day we played games down in the open grass area with the families, took the kayaks we found onto the lake, and even did some fishing (the fish were not biting at that time). The bedrooms were very comfortable. The second floor family room was large and we enjoyed sitting and talking. And not having TVs was a great thing. And very well stocked (and coffee!). Everything agreed it all went very well, and the perfect setting.

Teri - Posted: 10/14/2024

Thank you Teri! It’s wonderful to hear that our property provided the perfect backdrop for your daughter’s marriage ceremony. We’re glad you enjoyed both the indoor and outdoor amenities. Your feedback about the setting, comfort, and features will surely help future guests in planning their stay. Wishing your family many happy memories from this special occasion

I loved the space. nice a secluded with a beautiful home!

Phillip - Posted: 8/5/2024

Rented this property for our family reunion which included 17 adults and 5 kids for a long weekend. It was the perfect rental for such an event. It was very clean and clearly maintained well. We had plenty of space for sleeping. The activity room was perfect for all ages. The house had extras that helped made this so perfect for our family, such as extra foldable tables, chairs and kitchen supplies. Highly recommend this space for a large family wanting some outdoor space.

Johanna - Posted: 7/29/2024

The property was phenomenal, and the house was pristine… Would absolutely stay here again

David - Posted: 7/14/2024

This place was exactly as advertised. The house matched the pictures exactly. The house was very well stocked in the kitchen, bath etc. and there was a coffee bar with complementary coffee. The beds were extremely comfortable. The table games (pool, ping pong table and full size air hockey table) downstairs kept our guests entertained for hours. The location was perfect. We highly recommend this house and Landon to all.

Elizabeth - Posted: 6/24/2024

Thank you for your awesome review and your recommendation, Elizabeth! I'm glad to hear that you were able to enjoy the home and all of the amenities! I hope that we can host you again soon.

Black Diamond Retreat was a wonderful place for a family gathering. Both indoor and outdoor areas were spacious and gave everyone room to spread out and wander. We enjoyed sitting around the fire pit every evening and playing corn hole and bocci outside as well. Even though it seemed we were away in the middle of nowhere and very quiet, town was only a short drive away. Some of us did take and enjoy the Yuengling Brewery tour. Landon answered our questions along the way promptly as well. We all agreed we would definitely recommend this retreat for a fun large group gathering!

Cathy R. - Posted: 5/2/2024

Great place to gather.

Adam - Posted: 4/15/2024

It was a nice spacious luxurious house. Good for a weekend getaway.

Babish - Posted: 3/24/2024

We stayed here for my husband's 30th birthday with 15 of our friends and it was absolutely perfect! We've rented a few places over the years with larger groups, and this was by far the best experience we've had. So many bedrooms and bathrooms, and actually more than we needed! Really spacious, great living room for games and hanging out by the fire, the kitchen was well stocked and worked great, and we loved the outside deck and lake. Even though the property is nestled into the mountains and secluded, there were still grocery stores and shops nearby, which was great for us. An excellent house to rent if you're looking for a quiet getaway with friends / family. We'll definitely come back!

Ashley - Posted: 3/4/2024

Beautiful home with great views.
Perfect for a group /family getaway, super relaxing , fresh air .
The hosts are amazing, with great communication and accommodation.

Josanne - Posted: 1/15/2024

We spent our Christmas vacation here. Wonderful big house. Everything was great. Host replied in a timely manner. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Only problem with the house that WiFi wasn’t working any of the days we were there i believe the router was broken. But other than anything we had a great time. Thank you

Jeffrey - Posted: 12/26/2023

We rented this house for a reunion of college friends and their families. House was able to fit more than 6 families comfortably. We stayed for 3 nights and the house was clean and very well stocked with all the basic necessities which in my experience is not always the case. Landon the host was absolutely great with communication in responding to all of my questions and in a very timely manner. The house had a very nice kitchen stocked with all that we needed to prepare all our meals. Bonus kitchen downstairs allowed us to easily cook meals for a party of 25 without having to stretch cooking times. We lucked out with a very warm weekend so we were able to spend time outside on the patio and deck which was very nicely set up with BBQ grill and fire pit. It was a nice space for kids to run around. We also learned the house was only 15 minutes away from the Yuengling Brewery which was an awesome convenience we took advantage of for a quick day trip to tour their brewery. I highly recommend it, not to mention free samples. We had an absolutely amazing time and would definitely look to come back if we ever have another chance to get together. Thanks again Landon for everything

Mark - Posted: 12/23/2023

This listing, mid fall, ABSOLUTELY gorgeous. Myself and my 19 guests were all in constant awe of how breathtaking this property was. They had everything we needed, hosts were super responsive and kind. Before we even left, we all agreed to stay here again next year. I can’t say enough about this home and host.

Caitlin - Posted: 10/22/2023

Thank you for staying with us, Caitlin! Your group was a pleasure to host, and we can't wait to have you back with us.

This house was a temporary home for me and my family for the weekend of my wedding , and it was better than anything we could’ve imagined. The house looks exactly like the pictures and the surroundings were so serene.
I would definitely rent again. Totally worth it.

Sam - Posted: 9/14/2023

Great place for large family gathering

James - Posted: 9/5/2023

We had a wonderful extended family get-together and the house was a huge part of that. Lots of parking, bedrooms, two kitchens and multiple eating space are all great for hosting a large group. The pond behind the house was very scenic and perfect for boating with kids. Plenty to do nearby, including Pottsville activities and Knoebels. The only item of note that isn’t apparent from the listing or Google maps is that getting to the house requires driving up and down a steep, unpaved hill, so bringing a sports car or the like seems like a bad idea. And garbage is required to be taken down that hill to a dumpster for animal control reasons, which is manageable but a bit annoying. Overall, highly recommended and perfect for large groups!

David - Posted: 8/25/2023

The place was awesome and had everything we needed. Landon was always quick to respond to any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again!

Dotti B. - Posted: 8/3/2023

This place looks like it was lovingly and purposefully decorated and stocked. Felt at home and enough room for our huge family. It looks like the owner is busy making this their dream vacation property.

Emily - Posted: 7/17/2023

We had 27 people stay here ages ranging from 1 to 80. Everyone had so much fun. Highlights included the lake for swimming, kayaking, and fishing as well as relaxing on the spacious patio. We all agree that we would rent here in the future.

Emily - Posted: 7/9/2023

Thank you for the glowing 5-star review! We're thrilled you had a fantastic stay. We can't wait to welcome you back!

BNB Breeze staff

Our group of 36 friends and family wanted a place to gather and just hang out for a long weekend to celebrate a wedding. There was plenty of parking, fridge space and yard for everyone. The pictures don't do justice to how beautiful, quiet and remote it is. Don't be deterred by the long drive up. Definitely use Google Maps for navigating. All around a great place for those looking to kick back and relax. We had plenty of space inside and out, for our game loving, badminton swinging, volleyball spiking, ping pong paddling, corn hole throwing group. (Badminton and volleyball not included, but when we asked about setting up a net, the host was gracious enough to say yes). The house is well stocked and had more than enough tables, chairs and sundries. Would stay again!

Ryan - Posted: 6/8/2023

Great place. Perfect for large families. We really enjoyed the large patio and outdoor kitchen.

Katie - Posted: 6/7/2023

One word- amazing!

Erica - Posted: 4/17/2023

This was the perfect house for our family of 26 to get together. The house was well stocked with everything we needed including folding table and extra chairs so we could all eat together for meals. It was great to have the 2nd kitchen in the lower level and a total of three refrigerators was so convenient. The house was very clean and nicely decorated. The outdoor decks and firepit were an added bonus we enjoyed so much. The pond and cottage was also another great space to hang out! There were plenty of bedrooms beds, and extra blankets. Landon was very quick to respond when I had any questions. We will definitely consider rebooking for future family celebrations!

Randy E. - Posted: 4/11/2023

Great getaway. Private, quiet, peaceful. Very spacious and fantastic for a large gathering.

The home on Black Diamond is very accommodating for large groups. Plenty of space to spread out, to gather, and to enjoy your time together. The owners are easy to reach and very friendly. We'll definitely be back.

Wow thank you so much for your amazing review this is great to hear. Glad you enjoyed the space.

BNB Breeze staff

This was by far the BEST Airbnb I EVER rented. Though the entrance to the place was a little confusing, once you pull up to the house you are in awe. Just from the outside the place looked amazing, & the inside, omg beautiful! Everything was clean, organized, decorated beautifully, & felt homey. The house is huge, with so many bedrooms/bathrooms to pick from. My uncles & parents stayed on the 1st & 2nd floor while the younger ones stayed it the basement. We stayed down there bc there was a patio, fire pit, ping pong & pool table, & a small kitchenette. This all let us “kids” have the best time without interrupting/disturbing our parents & uncles. Now, on to the cabin & the lake. The view from the deck & the balcony were amazing! Not only that but the cabin had beds & a small kitchenette in it as well! There were even canoes under the deck! My family & I had so much fun with them. We stayed here bc of my dads 50th. If it weren’t for you guys this wouldn’t have happened! Thank u so much!

Great Experience Staying at Black Diamond Retreat
Black Diamond Retreat is one of a kind vacation rental property for large groups. Location is perfect, secluded and well suited in the forest.

Great house, highly recommend it to anyone looking for an escape of the noise and just relax and unwind. The house is perfectly located close to many activities, and sits on a massive plot of land overlooking it's own lake. I went for my birthday weekend and my family and I loved it, plus, the host was super responsive and very accommodating. We'll surely be back!

His instructions were clear and concise for everything around the home
