Santosha on the Ridge Bed & Breakfast

Disclaimer: I personally did not go to Santosha on the Ridge as this was a gift for my in laws for their 40^th wedding anniversary. I will say that speaking on the phone with owners they were very accommodating with making sure that my in laws would have a great experience for their anniversary when I made the booking for their gift. They even made sure that there was a bottle of champagne in the room for them when they got there!
This review was written by my father in law:
Wow! The Santosha is a beautiful Bed and Breakfast inside and out. We spent a weekend in the spacious Naturescape Room celebrating our 40^th Wedding Anniversary and absolutely loved every minute we were there. It is such a natural room with the spectacular angled unfinished wood ceilings fastened together with wood pegs rather than nails! The room is tastefully decorated with a huge comfortable bed, massive love seat and chair, kitchenette stocked with snacks and beverages, and a claw foot tub! Also, there is a private porch overlooking the property with breathtaking views. It doesn’t matter where you are located in this Inn, either in your room or on the main front porch or dining area, It is extremely quiet and relaxing. Owners Leslie and Gene were very kind and helpful providing ideas of activities and places for evening dining and just making us feel at home. They prepared delicious breakfasts focusing on natural and healthy ingredients. You will never want to skip breakfast here! If you want a great experience in a Bed and Breakfast Inn located in the Poconos choose Santosha On The Ridge.

My husband and I have just returned from the most amazing peaceful and restorative stay at Santosha on the Ridge. It was a brief week-​end get-​away that felt like a full-​blown vacation — all thanks to the tranquil warm and cozy atmosphere at Santosha. My first impression was that the pictures didn’t do this place justice — it is even more beautiful and inviting in person! It is so thoughtfully decorated and very well-​maintained! True to its name, Santosha is truly a place of satisfaction and contentment. Every element of the home and its surroundings radiates peace and harmony. Every Santosha tradition and care from the hosts delights and inspires. We very much enjoyed our restful stay, delicious healthy breakfasts and rejuvenating atmosphere of Santosha. We will definitely recommend it to friends and hope to be back again soon.

i am not even going to write a review as the previous ones have it right, it is lovely, best b&b we have been to!!!

Best B&B we’ve stayed in!
First off the place is beautiful, inside and out. It is cozy, well furnished and impeccably decorated with local artwork and all kinds of interesting objects. Leslie and Amy are outstanding hosts — easy and interesting to talk to, laid back, and full of information for you.
The attention to detail was amazing! Specifically regarding your likes and dislikes, food/​diet preferences, and anything else you prefer to make you feel comfortable. They accommodate you without any fuss.
It’s in a beautiful part of the country and it’s incredibly close to the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area with tons of hiking, biking, water activities, etc. We really enjoyed hiking Hornbecks Creek (west to east). Also, if you have the time and endurance the Mt Tammany to Dunnfield Creek to Sunfish Pond to Appalachian Trail return is also nice.
We’ve already recommended it to several friends and I hope we can make it back!

Yes, they get a 5 star!
I have been to MANY B&Bs, and they are all different but wonderful. It’s hard, because so much personal preference plays a role in rating a B&B.
pros:
It Is breathtakingly beautiful.
Very Homey
Nice owners
Close to Shanee Mt. Ski area
Has a dog
Resaonable price
Discount tickets for skiing/​riding
con:
impossible to find using a GPS device.
For the price, I thought the ladies at the Santosha do a wonderful job, keeping the place clean, comfortable, and welcoming. our room was the cheapest room (140ish). Yes, it was a little on the small side, but PLENTY just as a bedroom to sleep in, especially since the living room and the outside is all yours to roam around. Not to mention, the bedding… So Comfy!
Compared to other B&B, Santosha tried to make you feel more at home. other B&Bs I’ve been to had their kitchen… out of our sight. Kitchen usually is in another room and guests wont see it nor are welcomed in it. At santosha, I woke up way too early for breakfast, but was able to hang out with coffee and talk to the ladies as they cooked, play with their dog, etc. Overall, very homey experience. Would recommend it very much.

Better than excellent. My weekend here is on my top three most relaxing times in my life. Read: come here to relax.
Environment:
The B&B is literally on a ridge, with a beautiful view into the river valley. The property is in the trees; very tranquil.
Food (breakfast)
The breakfasts were well prepared and delicious. Adaptations will be made to your liking. Just ask.
Personality:
Leslie and Gene, the proprietors, are generous, kind and bright. Of course, when you enter a B&B, you are a guest in someone’s home. They are welcoming and like nice people. They are there when you want them, and they disappear when you want privacy or to be in solitude. Their sense of presence is quite keen.
Accommodations («bed»)
The rooms and house are gorgeous. Clean, spacious while cozy and peaceful. The interior of the house provides many spaces to sit and relax, have discussions and privacy with your companion.
Overall, I cannot think of a way that this place could be better suited to my preferences and what helps me relax. My wife and I will come again as soon as possible.
Price:
Given the quality of the accommodations, the price is very reasonable for the level of excellence they have achieved.

A-​MA-​ZING! This B&B was superb in every which way. I can’t think of a single thing that could have been «done better». Where to start? The amazing breakfasts with pineapple-​ginger scones and almond flour pancakes? Or the enlightening private yoga lessons (small extra charge)? Or the thoughtfully laid out labyrinth on the back hillside? Or maybe the pond full of funny frogs? Maybe the numerous hammocks and swings set out to enjoy the beautiful mountain views? Plus there were the numerous thoughtful touches — fresh baked cookies, snack packs and juices always available, slippers to relax in, classic games to enjoy, and a pleasant «departing» ritual. It doesn’t hurt that they’re in a central location and have a number of excellent restaurants close by. I could not have hoped for a better way to spend my anniversary with my husband. I look forward to returning very, very soon.
