The Valley Lodge of Blue Mountain Ski Resort is just 2 miles away, making for mountain biking, festivals and events and those attending weddings.

Sports Court for Pickleball, Basketball and outdoor fun was upgraded in 2023. The court offers a beautiful setting for your competitive side (net paddles and balls provided). Two new couches in living room, bigger TV and new sofa bed in the basement were also added in 2023. In 2024 we're adding a Tesla Charger and more trails and a remote picnic grove.

Perfect Place!
We came here to celebrate Sukkot with our family and friends. Anything we may have needed was provided. The house was very cozy and the area where we camped out was absolutely beautiful, not to mention the hiking trails on the property were amazing! We were very happy to have chosen this place and would love to stay here again!

It was amazing. There's so much to do at the house and on the property and there were a lot of hikes a short drive away. Beltzville State Park is nearby and is a great place to go onto the water.

Relaxing, fun vacation
House was clean, decorated well and had everything we needed. Space enough for 6 people, dogs, and a baby. Grounds were well kept and spacious. We played pool, air hockey and took a relaxing ride down the Lehigh River on tubes. Town is very close. Owner was quick to respond to questions and very helpful. Overall great vacation!

Perfect Weekend Getaway
The entire property is beautiful! The trail and the pickleball court made the entire stay so much more fun! I was so relieved that Mark allowed me to bring my senior pet rabbit into the home. It was a much needed getaway and I highly recommend this property!

Beautiful Blue Mountain Vacation Home in Palmerton, PA
The property was beautifully landscaped and well maintained with flowers, a well manicured lawn and neatly trimmed shrubs. Inside, the house was neat, fresh and clean with a wonderful game room with an air hockey table, a pool table, and many games. The deck and patio were great and we enjoyed sitting there in the evenings and mornings. There was a nice hiking trail as well. It was a wonderful place to stay and we would definitely recommend it to anyone. The Beltzville Lake and Marina are nearby for swimming, boating and fishing. Jim Thorpe is a great place to visit and we road the train after enjoying a delicious breakfast at the Inn's restaurant. Palmerton had a nice park with a playground. We visited Allentown and the America on Wheels Museum as well as the Science Museum. We also visited the Quiet Valley Living History Farm, hiked on the Hawk Trail to a lovely waterfall, and had a great time watching an Iron Pigs baseball game. There is a lot to do but you will enjoy it if all you do is have coffee or a cool drink on the patio or deck. Mr. Mark Shay was absolutely wonderful and quickly responded to any questions we had and made us feel quite welcome. If you and your family or friends choose this home, you will absolutely not regret it! Thank you, Blue Mountain Vacation Home!

Secluded, peaceful, comfortable
My family and our dogs spent a week here and we loved it. The house was clean and there was plenty of space for 5 adults and 3 dogs. The basement is huge so if you have kids or there's some of your group that want a separate space it is perfect. The deck is also huge and has a great view up and down the valley. The house is very secluded so we did not see or hear anyone during our stay. The dogs loved using the doggie door onto the deck and had fun walking the trails with us. Overall this house is very comfortable and had everything we needed. We felt very much at home. Even though you are secluded, you are still just a 5 minute drive to town. The house would be a great base for lake activities or skiing or just relaxing in a quiet place. Highly recommended!

Winter home away from home
The house and property are everything you see and more. House has all amenities you could possibly need. Super clean. Property is amazing, wonderful hiking trails, basketball, pickle ball, corn horn, grass areas, fire pit, firewood, views and sunsets. Ultra private but close to Blue Mountain and Jim Thorpe, Appalachian trail and other carbon county destinations. 5 stars all the way.

Well-appointed and off the beaten path
The house was very well stocked with essentially anything we needed in the kitchen (we did a ton of cooking), the property was wonderful as advertised. We brought all of our dogs and I spent a lot of time outside. We stayed over Christmas and it was very nice to have some small Christmas decorations in the house when we arrived! On a nice day, sitting outside on the deck is very relaxing.

Great Weekend Vacay
We live about 2 hours away in NJ. The house and area were exactly what we were looking for to spending some time in nature and enjoy the beautiful foliage. The house is nicely stocked with essentials and even a plethora of games. It was four adults (myself, my husband, my brother and his girlfriend) + my two rescue pups. Everyone had a great time, enjoying the privacy of the property while still being close to a lot of activities.

Beautiful Home in a Beautiful Location
WOW! My husband and I traveled from Florida to meet up with family we had not seen in a few years. At the moment you pull up the driveway you are greeted by a perfectly manicured lawn, flowers lining the path up to the door, dark stone slab steps, and a huge deck that overlooks the mountains surrounding the property. The view is breathtaking! You quickly learn that the property includes everything you need to keep guests of all ages entertained. The downstairs level has a full size air hockey table, pool table, video games, and board games. It is fully stocked with games for outside including a paved basketball/pickle ball court. The basketballs, tennis balls, birdies, and rackets are supplied on-site. If you’re looking for some more low-key outdoor activities, the property includes walking trails, lined with flowers, trees, and mini boulder pits. Inside, the property is spotless and nicely staged with farmhouse/mountain retreat decor. All dishes, cookware, glassware and serve ware you could ever need for a weekend stay or hosting guests is onsite. They have multiple coolers available for use, large serving platters, and various sizes of tongs, serving forks and spoons - a huge bonus for us since we had some extended family over during our stay. All beds were very comfortable, and each room had extra pillows, blankets, and fans in the closets. Mark was extremely inviting and a wonderful host! I highly recommend reaching out to Mark to book your stay!

About the host

Hosted by Mark Shay

Host profile image
Mark is a realtor with Keller Williams and specializes in vacation home sales in the Poconos, so if you like the vacation home and want to explore getting one in the area, give him a call or visit his website - PoconoVacationHomeSales.com

Why they chose this property

I grew-up in the Philadelphia area and always loved the mountains. I got started skiing in high school and I got hooked. I wanted a house by a ski area for my kids and I was fortunate enough to be able to afford a second home right by Blue Mountain. This kids are older, scattered about and we've now opened the house up to renters.

What makes this property unique

The setting is private. Just a few minutes to the Valley Lodge of Blue Mountain Ski Resort, close to the Appalachian Trail, Lehigh River and Beltzville State Park. We're close to the Poconos, but not so close that you feel like you're in a tourist trap. Palmerton is a nice town, if you want touristy things, go to nearby Jim Thorpe. River outfitters along the Lehigh River Gap provide great day trips and we have 4 kayaks available to guests who want to DIY on the river.
