Enjoy huge mid-week savings! Book 3 or more nights for additional special offers!!
*SEE PRICE DROP rare opening JULY 5th and 6th*

Get away together with a few close friends or small family (SLEEPS 4/5). Relax unwind recharge in this fully modernized comfortable cabin home in a place many regard as a true healing energy 'vortex' of wind, water and glacial rock amid wildlife in this refreshing and interesting ecosystem, ready to experience. You can re-kindle and invigorate YOUR relationships in the simplicity and beauty without sacrificing comfort or hauling firewood. You can even COMPLETELY DISCONNECT, or remain FULLY CONNECTED via house wifi/internet: A unique experience where the dominant sound is the babbling of the renowned Bushkill Creek. Be an adventurer, explorer, stone piler, bird watcher, puzzle maker, napper, fire master, skier, golfer hiker, and even a pure tourist...

NO WORRIES! We provide SERIOUSLY COMFORTABLE QUEEN BEDS clean fresh and made ready for your arrival with quality pillows and linens, as well as fine bath towels (SEE REVIEWS!) *NOTE: we have added a new COMFORTABLE queen size sleeper sofa in Living Room.

Use this thoughtfully prepared home as a comfortable private fully prepared home site by-the-creek, and as a hub to the wonderful Poconos and areas Northeast! Skiing is still full swing and only minutes away at SHAWNEE and nearby Camelback, and more (EASY!).

If you are up for it (weather/season permitting), lighting A CAMPFIRE BY THE CREEK is a classic and the 'READY-TO-GO' fire we prepare for you is a touch our guests love, with FREE well-seasoned already split FIREWOOD INCLUDED! Add the sounds of riffling water, and THE PRECIOUS MOMENTS ARE YOURS FOREVER!

When the WEATHER sends you INDOORS light up the other ready-to-go fire in the GLASS FRONT WOOD STOVE and warm up the old fashioned way. Remember, we provide plenty of split well-seasoned crackly firewood for a daily fire, ready for you without the wood hustles or hassles. Or, use the NEW split-unit HVAC to just 'throw the switch' and comfort you in the modern way, and with a thermostat in each area so everyone stays comfortable and happy. TURN IT UP- BE AS WARM AND DRY AS YOU LIKE!

Enjoy the Delaware National Recreation Area anytime of year and seasonally with canoe/kayak rentals (use the Pocono Pony when available) among many other seasonal and year round activities such a guided ROCK CLIMBING. You and your family/friends can enjoy this comfortable abode as a REJUVINATION RETREAT to remember forever and return to for years to come.

HIKERS can use formal and informal trails that offer a lifetime of opportunities, many well supported on maps and apps- the rest up to you!

And If you love WATERFALLS you can explore some each time you come, such as Bushkill Falls on a developed walkway (fee), and along the roadways and other formal hikes, or make your own way along the many tributaries that fill the extensive watershed!

WORK OR ATTEND SCHOOL REMOTELY (or not!) while taking a major break from the routine. We have the WIFI connections for services that meet the needs of remote working professionals, school students and gamers alike. Imagine getting the necessary regular remote work accomplished but this time amid the views and bustling sounds of the creek as an Eagle flies by, or even roosts in your window view (see photos!)... Sit on the elevated deck or stroll outside with morning coffee. Enjoy the actual benefits of nature as it rejuvenates; research continues to prove medical and other benefits such as stress reduction (cortisol) which improves "immediately upon immersion in nature," and that's a fact! Relaxation begins with your choice to book here, and keeps getting better as you arrive and just be here!

Truly rest heart, soul, mind and body!

We perform EXTENSIVE CLEANING of all contact surfaces with meticulous allergen removal and "every time" protocols for appliances, furniture and well, everything! And our state of the art OVERSIZED capacity hygienic washer/dryer can actually handle the big fluffy stuff including the oversized bedding, shams, blankets and throws! Leave the worry out of the adventure when it comes to these fine details!

So make plans, or no plans at all! Play games, rest or watch movies. Enjoy your streaming services or watch ours: commercial free DISNEY+ HULU & ESPN plus CABLE TV on one of 3 flat screen TV's (FREE cable living room TV; each w/ WIFI capability + HDMI ports for GAMING etc.. Bring a DVD (regular/blue/4K) or watch one from our library. Or, keep the screen black and just enjoy the peace and quiet!

We will gladly share our 50+ years experience in this area as we enjoy communication with our guests to build excellent experiences!

Seasonal NOTES:

FISHING (Pa license/trout stamp req.) on the "prime eastern TROUT STREAM" of the Big Bushkill Creek in this "sweet spot" for all exp. levels (no guarantees except fun!). Renowned for Trout in spring with Bass and bluegill in summer, and trout again in fall., this stream is an ideal size and quality (levels naturally vary with weather conditions).

OTHER FISHING experiences include the famous Shad run a few miles downstream on the Bushkill Estuary of the Delaware River. RESICA FALLS FLY FISHING PRESERVE is just a few miles upstream (SAME CREEK! a short car ride) where you can sightsee the outstanding falls (free) or enjoy renowned catch-and-release trout water year-round (small donation requested by BSA) and HUNTING with special permit! Eat at Tom X along the way.

GOLF at NUMEROUS QUALITY courses, several just minutes nearby! Zip Line, Escape Room, Go Karts, gambling, wine tasting, togetherness, historic homes, hiking trails, waterfalls, relaxation, museums, shopping, self-discovery, bass and trout fishing, lazy or crazy adventure water, nothing-on-a-list stuff, horseback riding, bicycle, boat or plane trips with YOU and YOUR GUEST'S EXCLUSIVE TIME in YOUR VACATION HOME at the CENTER OF IT ALL!

Unbeatable New England Fall Foliage PEAKS IN THE POCONOS throughout October and short rides in any direction provide the vistas you can photograph to fill a hard drive, without the "hard drive"!

PERFECT for a TRANQUIL WOODSY RETREAT ANY SEASON where a small family, pair of couples or close friends can reconnect in this SURPRISING LOCATION in it's hideout along a Class A trout stream nestled at the end (cul de sac) of a small private community gravel road shared only by a few homes, historic cabins and MOTHER NATURE. And there is no comparison to a room or even two at a hotel (a FINE quality hotel)! Few homes combine the best features of the best rental homes in such a unique and memorable way; this is "the best" getaway spot (or hub home for anything NorthEast) in our opinion and of our guests and friends over many, many years!

Long weekend in the mountains

We can't find anything bad to say about this space! Everything we needed to feel comfortable was provided. There were even couch covers if our dogs needed to be on the couch! The property was beautiful, everything was super clean. We spent most of our time out back by the water. Did a few nearby hikes. Just what we needed. Thank you Jen and Dan for everything.

Perfect place to relax

We have only great things to say about our experience. It was the perfect location to unwind and relax. The cabin and the property were extremely clean and comfortable. Everthing you would need for a home away from home was supplied. They thought of everthing. Communications with the host was friendly, available & helpful. The creek on the property was our favorite part, my husband fished, I read a book, and we had our morning coffee/tea sitting next to it, listening and letting the sound erase the stress of our busy life. We highly recommend a visit.

Awesome Cabin

I stayed a week in August with my wife, mother in law, 2 month old, and our 12 year old dog. This cabin had everything and the location was perfect. We enjoyed cooking breakfast inside, drinking coffee by the creek, cooking dinner on the grill, making a fire at night, and just relaxing! The grocery store was close by as well as plenty of places to eat out. We enjoyed going to Bushkill Falls which is dog friendly, just be prepared for a lot of steps! The hosts are super friendly and very accommodating, thanks for the firewood Dan! The creek along the property is beautiful and big enough to fish or hang out in an inflatable float. 10/10 highly recommend this place!

Perfect place to rejuvenate!

This is a slice of heaven! You never realize how much you need to decompress and rejuvenate until it’s happened. This beautiful creekside cabin has what you need to relax and unwind with all the comforts of home but now you get a babbling creek, privacy, shade and some sun, with a fire pit. AMAZING!!! The home is well kept, clean, with modern amenities. They literally have everything you need and then some. Beds are super comfortable with tvs in each of the rooms. And the hosts are wonderful with a friendly, open line of communication. I’m so thankful that they have this place to share with everyone! I can’t wait to visit again! My 9yo son was beyond thrilled with this place. His favorite part was being able to fish in the creek and go for a swim along with making a camp fire. Oh and he loved the Wi-Fi for his fav video games and having a huge bed all to himself along with a tv in his room. I’m the worst when it comes to sleeping out of my bed, I SLEPT at the cabin. And we got to bring our snuggle pug with us and the little princess loved the birds, deer, creek and fire pit. I can’t say anything else about this place. It was a perfect get away for us.

The cabin was clean and cozy and perfect for our family of four. The setting is out of the way and relaxing, but close enough to plenty of things to do (Delaware Water Gap, Lakota Wolf Preserve, Bushkill Falls, etc.). Our kids and dog had a blast playing in the creek. Jen and Dan are excellent hosts and were very responsive any time I contacted them with a question. We definitely hope to stay here again in the future!

Quaint House on the Creek

Staying at this home was like being home. The house was spotless and newly renovated. It smelled clean but not pinesoly or bleachy. My husband said he probably did some of the best fishing of his life! Our dogs had fun playing in the yard and in the creek. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need and want. Just like home.. the bedrooms were spacious and comfy. The ac worked really well and sleeping was very pleasant. This was the nicest VRBO we spent time at and we will definitely be going back!

Cozy cabin in a beautiful setting. We couldn’t have asked for more to be able to disconnect for a few days. From the sound of the creek flowing through back yard to the deer walking through and grazing on the property, it was perfect! The host was amazing. She communicated throughout the whole process and made it so easy to arrive and settle in. We will definitely be planning a return trip in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer D

Host profile image
Our family's history began in the New York area. Our parents wanted us to have an escape where we could reconnect without all the pressures. We met here as kids, grew up together, married 35 years ago and now share it with family and friends!

Every time we come up we discover something new in and around this creek paradise: about nature, about ourselves, about each other, in ways never possible in the city or the suburbs at home. The experience always rewards us, and we would love to share it with you!

There's a season for every interest... Bald Eagles, Red Tailed Hawks, Great Blue Heron, King Fishers, Wild Turkey (sometimes in large flocks!), several species of ducks and many other birds visit often, along with an abundance of buck and doe with red/grey/black squirrels frequenting the nurturing creek valley, while mink, beaver, otter, fox, raccoon and the occasional black bear sneak by from time to time especially appearing to the the quiet observer over morning coffee. The stream is well stocked with trout in the spring and natives and holdovers can generally be found ALL YEAR (see fishing license reqs. and restrictions). Small mouth bass action fills in hot summer gaps, or you can access the prime water at Resica Falls Scout Reservation "year round" (they request a small voluntary donation for amazing spring fed water just a few miles upstream (SAME STREAM!) and now offer hunting...INQUIRE!). Recent guests caught & released several nice trout and quite a few smallmouth proving the fishery healthy and thriving all year! NOTE: When fishing or "floating" please be courteous and respect private property. All guests must agree NOT to use this property to access neighbors' property or upstream along "the island," or fish this area outside of their reservation dates.

We hope you will spend your valuable time here and make it YOUR escape! We think once you do you'll want to come back every season, every year...

Why they chose this property

Local hotels are wildcards that offer little intimacy and even less personal touch. This is our home that we share with you! Of course, you can cram a small family (really good friends?) into the "two double beds in one room" hotel arrangement (if available) or pay for two rooms with queen beds and still not even come close to this home's offerings. Upgrades to a so-called suite (when you can find one) in the brand hotels are much less than sweet, where they justify outrageous rates for "spaces" which are often without actual doors to separate bed "rooms" from living "areas." If you prefer to make a dinner or such on your vacations with a kitchenette they're often tiny and outdated. Our goal is to MAKE OUR HOME, YOUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME! This home and experience are exactly what we hope to find when we travel though can't always find.

As you can see from our listing we offer seasonally competitive rates with value that far exceeds the hotel. With the advent and features of VRBO it is now possible for us to connect easily with people who share our preferences and will take care of our home like their own. If you indeed share this aspiration and commitment please make your booking with us. We also offer extended stay discounts for weekly or monthly bookings!

Due to the unforeseen circumstances of nature, etc. we HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT ALL TRAVELERS PURCHASE TRAVELER'S INSURANCE as we cannot offer ANY REFUND other than the time windows specified in your booking (non-holiday only). Please take note that ALL HOLIDAY BOOKINGS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE due to scheduling challenges so please generate an "inquiry" FIRST if you have any questions. This will give us the chance to satisfy any questions or concerns PRIOR to your booking as it our goal to achieve 100% satisfaction with your vacation, and to ultimately earn your positive feedback and recommendation for others to stay with us!

Best wishes for YOUR BEST GETAWAY in the Northeastern USA!

What makes this property unique

2 spacious private bedrooms (full closets) each with high quality beds and luxurious bedding welcome the weary travel and ready the adventurer for the fullest days imaginable. Within the clean modern bathroom, a full body massage shower helps unwind stress and rejuvenates for another day. The full kitchen (no dishwasher) with full fridge/freezer and ice maker (filtered "zero" water and FRESH ice for EACH guests' stay) provides ample space for a big dinner, or a quick snack. We have also filled the kitchen with everything we find ourselves looking for including flatware, dishes, mugs and bowls, and also quality pots, pans and cutlery as well as the "little things" such as meat thermometer, corkscrew wine bottle opener, colander, peeler, wisk, pizza tray & cutter, spatulas, tongs plus a waffle maker and more! There's also an outdoor grille and grilling tools if you bring some charcoal/lighter fluid...

Once you book we will ask for a copy of your driver's license and your clean sanitized home experience will be awaiting your arrival!

For you additional safety you will be issued an EXCLUSIVE ENTRY KEY CODE on the day of your reservation which you can begin any time after 4:30pm on the first day with a 'no-contact' self check in (check for alt. time availability+FEE). Depart by 10:30am on your last day by securing the premises (check out list provided) and message us. We will complete the check out process and clear your deposit accordingly (note: accidents happen! In such a case, please contact us as soon as possible).

We trust that you will find that your stay meets or exceeds your expectations and hope to share mutual positive feedback (let us know if you find anything less than perfect and we will address it!). Most importantly, we want you to enjoy your time in our home and hope you will look forward to returning soon. Contact us with pre-visit questions and special interests!
