Are you ready for one of the most relaxing places in the North East? We welcome you to come and stay at our little slice of Heaven located in the Northern Poconos in the undeniably BEST gated lake community you'll ever find! Our adorable 3 bedroom cottage/cabin has everything you and your family need to unwind and create family memories that will last a lifetime! From the moment you pull into the Hemlock tree lined roads the hustle and bustle of every day life will melt away as you integrate with the beauty that will surround you as your make your way to our home. Pulling down our driveway usually results in sitting in your car for a moment staring at the story-book cottage right out of your favorite fairy tale! The newly stained deck is lined with Tiki Torches to give your evenings a soft glow (and keep the bugs away) as you grill outside under the clear view of the stars above. Upon entering our cabin your eyes will be drawn to the wood burning stove which heats the whole house on cold Winter and cool Spring and Fall days and nights. Although the 3 bedrooms easily sleep at least 6+ comfortably, expect at least one or two of your party to fall asleep on the super comfortable U shaped couches with clear view of the fire and Apple TV that has Netflix and other streaming services at your finger tips. The cedar wood ceilings throughout give the cabin an undeniably cozy feel and the large loft ceilings in the upstairs bedrooms with wood planking also add to the 'wood cabin' feel. Whether a summer family retreat, or looking to be closer to the many Pocono ski mountains- our family cottage may be just what you need!
The house is fully stocked with everything you'll need from dishes and pots/pans to a small washer, dryer, dishwasher and microwave. We also include puzzles and games along with 4 pickleball paddles and balls (our community has some of the nicest tennis/pickleball courts a few minutes drive away). You'll also receive 6 free passes (additional day passes cost about $3 each) to enjoy our 3 pools (one indoor), several lakes (gorgeous sand lined Elm Beach is a short distance from the cabin and has a beach volleyball court, boat/kayak access and changing rooms/showers). Our top rated clubhouse has a full gym, sauna, steam room, hot tub as well as pool tables and table tennis in the upstairs game room. The newly opened in-house cafe features some amazing and affordable creations with a Spanish flare and overlooks our state of the art indoor pool. What are you waiting for? Book now or keep reading if you still need a little more convincing :)!
After your full day on the lakes and pools, or hiking some of the nearby state parks or gorgeous water fall lined trails you'll want to fire up our back yard fire pit and get your 'smores a roasting while you relax in the traditionally cooler summer nights that the Poconos has to offer. This is truly the best of both worlds- the feel of being surrounded by the peace and quite of nature- yet the convenience of a Weis grocery store, Walgreens pharmacy as well as several restaurants only 5 minutes away (just outside the gate). You'll also have the added benefit of 24 hour security, community based paramedics (5 min average response time) and gated access (you are permitted to have guests at our home, within reason). Note: a 30 day minimum rental is required per our community guidelines-weekly or weekend rentals are not permitted (but you won't want to stay less than 30 days once you arrive after all ;).
A little more about our home:
The downstairs bedroom sleeps 2 with a Queen bed and has a large closet. The upstairs front bedroom has a Queen bed, a balcony with seating for 2 + and presently also has an additional single mattress on the carpeted area. The rear upstairs bedroom has a single bed as well as a Queen size inflatable bed (quite comfortable) but can be traded out for a metal framed Queen at renters request.
The upstairs bedrooms have a shared half bath, while the downstairs bathroom features a full bath with shower/tub combo.
