About this property

Poconos Forest Oasis w HOT TUB! Backyard Vibes, Firepit, Borders the State Park!

Escape to a haven of peace and seclusion at Moose Tracks Lodge, a modern chalet bordering Tobyhanna State Park. Situated in a secure, gated community, guests can enjoy exclusive access to Lake Carobeth (w/ Beach), swimming pools and endless outdoor recreation activities. Catch the good vibes in our backyard oasis and soak your cares away in our hot tub, relax around our fire pit and savor cozy nights with friends grilling and stargazing on our private deck. Welcome home to the Pocono Mountains!

Unplug from the hustle and bustle of regular life as you step inside our intimate Pocono retreat, located less than 2 hours from both New York and Philadelphia and directly bordering Tobyhanna State Park, just 30 minutes away from the picturesque Poconos Mountain Range.

Our 2-bedroom cabin is the ultimate getaway for couples, families and small groups - for hikers, skiers, avid nature lovers, homebodies, and adventurers of all kinds! We are centrally situated to all the fun activities the Poconos has to offer! Located in the secure, gated community called 'A Pocono Country Place', you'll have access to multiple swimming pools, the beach at beautiful Lake Carobeth with paddle boats and kayaks (subject to availability), in addition to tennis and basketball courts, mini golf, fishing, dog park, community gardens, 6 playgrounds and the Lakeside Cafe. If water parks are more your thing, we are less than 7 miles from Kalahari Waterpark and only 10 miles from Great Wolf Lodge - grab a day pass and float away!

Whether you plan on taking advantage of the community's amenities, or you're simply seeking a peaceful, private getaway to relax, indulge and unwind, Moose Tracks Lodge IS your destination - offering warm vibes and bespoke furnishings, a brand new rainforest shower with natural stone pebble floor, a gas firepit on the top deck along with a propane grill, and a brand new private hot tub in our vibey backyard oasis! Relax in our adirondack chairs and gather around the stone firepit for s'mores and heartwarming conversation surrounded by cozy string lights, seasonal plants and flowers, and a relaxing (and social media pic-worthy!) bench swing.

The space:

• Upon entering the home, you are immediately struck by the vaulted ceilings, the modern furnishings, and the large 13’ floor-to-ceiling windows ushering in floods of natural light, filling the space with a warm ambiance. The large, sunken living room is perfect for spending quality time with friends and family, inviting you to sink into the cushy couches for a relaxing movie night. As a bonus, elevate your comfort and ignite the wood burning pellet stove fireplace to induce an aura of calm and cozy vibes. Sliding glass doors provide easy access to the spacious outdoor deck complete with warm string lights, loveseat, chairs, picnic table, grill and gas firepit - perfect for grilling up an outdoor dinner, chatting over a bottle of wine and enjoying an evening relaxing under the stars and spotting deer!

• The open floor plan provides easy connectivity from the living room to the dining area to the kitchen. Though the spaces are dedicated, it never feels like you're too far away from your friends and loved ones.

• Watch a countless selection of TV shows and movies on our Smart HDTVs with built in Roku in the living room and both bedrooms - enjoy Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney +, Hulu, Apple TV and many more (your login required).

• Set up the dining table with classic games such as Jenga, Uno, Othello, Monopoly, puzzles and a deck of cards, or go outside for some frisbee or cornhole on the side lawn. Or practice yoga in the sun with our complimentary yoga mat, blocks, and 2 lb weights.

• When your appetite stirs, make your way over to the fully equipped, modernized kitchen. Outfitted with spacious cabinetry, gleaming stainless steel appliances, a butcher block counter top (sourced from our favorite bodega where we met in Brooklyn!) and a comprehensive variety of cooking tools, utensils, and accoutrements, this bright and inspiring space will make your culinary endeavors an absolute breeze. Simple yet effective, you will have no problem cooking breakfast, lunch or dinner using our:

• Full size refrigerator and freezer, with cocktail cube-sized silicone ice trays
• Brand new dishwasher (detergent provided)
• Stainless-steel oven and stove
• Microwave & toaster
• Blender

Perfect quiet getaway
I absolutely loved this property and would love to come back. This was just the quiet get away I needed before summer is officially over. The property is immaculate, and the hosts are wonderful with their detailed and efficient communication.

Highly recommend!
Moose Tracks Lodge was the best getaway for my son, my dog, and me!! It is evident the hosts were intentional with each detail big and small. Every part of this cozy and beautiful home invited us to rest, relax, connect with one another, and simply enjoy.

About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth and Jason Yudoff

Host profile image
We're a fun artist couple from Brooklyn, NY (EJ is originally from Fairfax Station, VA) who enjoy being with friends and loved ones, being active and traveling, working in our creative fields and relaxing at home cooking and hosting. EJ is a production designer for film and TV and Jason is a voice actor and musician (keyboards, drums, singer/songwriter). We met on Bumble and got married in 2021 in PA near EJ's family cottage on Lake Idlewild - originally built by her great-grandfather as a fishing shack in 1947! We spent a lot of time out there during the pandemic and fell in love with the pace of PA living. We've always loved hosting parties and events, we love spas and pools and sports and movies and relaxing at home even though we are both pretty well traveled... so we always talked about combining the best of all of our experiences and dreams to create a fun, homey environment with super vibey outdoor spaces for our own enjoyment to escape the city, a place where we could host friends, family and strangers (some that would become new friends!) and to try and provide all the amenities we could to keep the journey worry-free and indulgent! And now we have, and it's been quite the adventure so far. This is our first home, and we've put a lot of love into it. We hope you enjoy being here as much as we do! Welcome to your home in the beautiful Pocono Mountains! 🙏


Why they chose this property

We found this neighborhood on EJ's bday in 2023, when we did what we usually do when we need to get out of the city: look for a fun yard/deck with a hot tub less than a 2 hr drive from the city! We found a spot in this community but didn't totally dig the house. The hot tub was great, the fire pit was cool, and the privacy (against the park) was key - but we found ourselves talking and dreaming about what we would fix up and do differently, etc and that weekend really sparked our energy and enthusiasm to start the search in earnest to finally finding our own place and fix it up using ourselves as our target audience! We loved the security of this gated community, the privacy of bordering the state park, seeing deer and wildlife all the time, and all of the pools and amenities this community had to offer, so we fixated our attention on this neighborhood and started looking at houses until we found our perfect match, and here we are!

What makes this property unique

The great thing about our property that makes it unique is it's not a huge party house, the spaces are all dedicated to the point where you can hang out in different areas of the house, whether you're in the living room or dining area or kitchen or bathroom or bedrooms or top deck with gas fire pit and grill or backyard with chairs and plants, or the hot tub deck or even taking a walk through the woods - you're never truly disconnected from your family and friends. We created this vibey backyard oasis - reminiscent of when we lived in Hawaii for six months - with a bench swing from EJ's childhood home, our love of hot tubs, a gorgeous fire pit with Adirondack chairs and warm string lights that provide such a relaxing atmosphere. The best thing of all is the privacy of being backed up right against Tobyhanna State Park and not having five other houses staring into our backyard… It's just a super cute and cozy home for couples, small families, or groups of 4–6 friends, which is just what we wanted.
