About this space

A spacious Pocono retreat for families & groups

Designed with families and groups in mind, our home offers plenty of space to relax, reconnect, and make memories together β€” with vaulted ceilings, two fireplaces, a game room, an outdoor fire pit, and deck space perfect for gathering.

Open-concept living

The heart of the home is the open kitchen, dining area, and living room β€” perfect for a big family breakfast or winding down after a day at the lake. The living room's large U-shaped sectional is made for movie nights and game nights, with a Bluetooth sound bar for music throughout the day.

Bonus game room

On the opposite side of the house you'll find a separate game room with a TV and foosball table β€” a great spot for kids to hang out, or for catching the big game without disturbing sleeping little ones.

Comfortable sleeping arrangements

A first-floor king bedroom offers easy access for guests who prefer to avoid stairs. Upstairs are three more bedrooms, including our favorite feature β€” a spacious bunk room with two handcrafted cedar bunk beds (twins on top, queens below), ideal for cousins or a kids' room. A Pack 'n Play is available in the bunk room closet.

Outdoor living

Start your day with coffee on the front deck watching local wildlife, then gather on the back deck for evening grilling. The backyard's smokeless fire pit and Adirondack chairs are made for s'mores, stories, and stargazing.

Optional golf cart rental

A golf cart is available for guest use for an additional fee and signed waiver. Message us if you'd like to add it to your stay.

Guest access

Feel free to use every part of the home. The only areas off-limits are two locked owner's closets on the first floor (near the kitchen and bathroom) and the shed out back.
