Perfect family ski getaway with proximity to Big Boulder Mountain ( 3 miles) and Jack Frost Ski Resort (12.5 miles), making this the perfect getaway, no matter the time of year. Ideal for those who are always searching for their next outdoor adventure, the Pocono Outdoor Adventure Tours, Austin T. Blakeslee Natural Area, and Hickory Run Boulder Field are all less than 15 miles away. Other awesome thrill-seeking opportunities nearby include a visit to Tippmann Castle (8.4 miles), Camelback Mountain Resort (20 miles), Blue Mountain Resort (25.7 miles), and the Shawnee Mountain Ski Area (37.2 miles).

Choose between multiple nearby restaurants and taverns with beautiful views of lakes, mountain ski slopes, or golf courses.

Vacation mode is activated as soon as you set foot inside this tree-surrounded abode. The open layout allows for spirited conversation to flow easily from the main living area to the kitchen. Enjoy all the coziness that comes with sitting in front of a beautiful stone fireplace. Delve into the collection of board games available for late-night competitions and joyful camaraderie. Utilize the well-equipped kitchen to whip up some mouth-watering cuisine. And rest assured that everyone will have plenty of space to spread out and call their own during your stay. Rustic decor and fixtures spread throughout the home make for great conversation points, and a washer/dryer and iron allow for simplicity and ease of mind when it comes to staying on top of any clothes that may have gotten dirty during your daily exploration. Extra perks include a travel crib, two pairs of snowshoes, and a canoe.

A true highlight of this stay is the gorgeous outdoor space at your fingertips! A back deck with ample seating options and a grill provide the perfect spot for a grill-out. Down below on the back patio, children's play sets and extra seating options are available. During the winter, take in scenic views of the ski slopes. Don't forget to utilize the outdoor firepit come nightfall, and prepare yourself for a beautiful, starry night sky.

Beautiful Location

Home was fine and in a great location. The home is dated and could use a lot of updates. It was good for our group.

Beautiful house, with couple of miles away from most of the attractions.

We enjoyed thoroughly. Need little more pots and pans, if people want to cook.

When we checked in we found mouse dropping in the kitchen on the floor, counter and near toaster oven area. Fortunately we brought paper plates because the dishes provided would not have been enough for the 6 guests. The lighting in the kitchen is very low and make cooking after sunset a challenge. Not a good selection of pots and pans to be used and they all had to be washed before they could be used.

Weekend Stay

Stayed here for a weekend in the summer. The listing states that this includes passes to the lake area which I was told late Friday night were not included. This should have been removed from the listing. Additionally, the water was turned off on Sunday morning. The house itself is okay. Adequate space and plenty of bathrooms. Most of the supplementary items like cooking utensils are a little older. I would not say that this is the cleanest place I’ve ever stayed in—some of the harder to see/reach areas weren’t well attended to.

Great Location for casual giveaway

This VRBO is nice and spacious for a mountain getaway with friends or multiple families. The living area was nice and open and our crew loved the indoor and outdoor fireplace options. The kitchen was nicely stocked with what you would need to make meals at home. The house is a bit outdated in decor but we were comfortable with the house. Leading up to our stay, I tried to get in touch with the property manager a few times through messages and did not hear back. We had some conflicts with the weekend and wanted to know if there were any options. When I got someone on the phone - they were not very sympathetic or helpful.
