OR
Enjoy any other activity from the long list of activities we have to offer
OR
Just kick back and RELAX!!

3 + acres of property with unique landscaping AND abundant nature - bears, deer, foxes, turkeys, groundhogs, racoons, opossums, coyotes, Fisher Cat, and more....as well as many different kinds of birds that return to nest at our property every year including Hummingbirds ... WITH 200+ acres of forest in the back (private property) ensuring truly serene atmosphere.


Featuring 3 bedrooms with Queen Size beds + EXTRA room with king size bed for total of 10 guests accommodations, 2 full bathrooms, open concept kitchen/ dining room / living room, and game room.
The kitchen is fully equipped with top quality appliances including oven, stove, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker (Keurig & standard drip), toaster, slow cooker, waffle maker & crepes maker, blender, French coffee press, pots & pans, dishes, utensils and more…We also provide coffee, tea, sugar and some basic spices.
We have a central heating system throughout the house and 2 electric fireplaces (one in the game room and one on the main floor) to ensure warmth and coziness in tough Pocono’s winter months.
For summer months the house is equipped with CENTRAL A/C to keep our guests nice and cool.

There are 6 smart TVs on the premises (1 in each bedroom, one in the living room, and one in the game room) with free WIFI internet and free Netflix and free smart TV channels (no cable).
Guests are free to log into their own TV provider to watch cable. Our Smart TV PIN number (for logging purposes) is provided upon request. Please remember to log out of your TV provider and/or any streaming services.

All guests have access to our laundry room which comes with a supply of laundry detergent.

FLOOR PLAN:
Ground Floor - Game Room
Main Level - The EXTRA room with a king size bed, bathroom with walk-in shower, laundry room, living room, dining room, kitchen, office area, and hallway.
Top Level - 3 bedrooms (2 with 1 queen size bed each/1 with 2 queen size beds), and bathroom with a large bathtub and walk-in shower.

All beds come with fresh/clean beddings & linens. We provide 2 towels per person so no need to bring your own.

PRICING:
We utilize what's known as 'base pricing' up to first 4 guests to accommodate smaller groups such as families (generally 2 parents and 2 children) and/or lover's retreats (generally 1 - 2 couples) which we host a lot and who might not be able to come and stay with us IF we would charge one large price based on full occupancy.
After the first 4 guests, there is an extra guest fee of $25 per person per night for each additional guest up to our maximum occupancy of 10.
Infants and toddlers (up to the age of 2) stay free BUT are included in the occupancy - though we might not count an extra infant over the maximum occupancy of 10.
A guest would have to disclose the total guest count and ages for all via message AND receive an exception from us.
This system is quite popular as it's fair to guests - smaller groups are not overcharged and can enjoy the property, fair to hosts as the running expenses (energy/supplies) are directly proportioned to the group size, AND it's the only system that allows for updates in guest count AND the price - loved by all.
Example - Should there be less guests coming last minute, the booking party can update the reservation and receive a refund - this is not possible IF one large price (based on full occupancy) is charged where the price remains the same regardless of how many guests end up coming. The price update is possible up to 48 hours prior to the trip!

Away from home doesn’t have to be less comfortable than being home. Everything in our house, from furniture to kitchen supplies, from mattresses to linens and towels were hand selected to ensure comfort, convenience, and relaxing atmosphere. Soaps and paper products are provided as well for our quest’s convenience.


The house accommodates up to 10 people. It is perfect for small 'get togethers ' and low key weekend getaways but it is NOT A PARTY HOUSE (graduations).
We however welcome 'special occasions' such as birthdays, engagements, anniversaries, and even small weddings - as long as the maximum occupancy is adhered to.
We do NOT allow any day-guests/visitors.
Any exceptions for 'day-guests/visitors' would have to be with PRIOR APPROVAL and in line with our licensing requirements.
(Private chefs, masseurs, deliveries are OK - these are not considered 'day-guests')

Pets, including service animals, are NOT allowed as we use the premises too and suffer from severe allergies. As this is a private establishment, by law we are allowed to set such rules to prevent any bodily harm and/or health risks. We apologize but if you need an accommodation that allows pets, we are NOT a suitable place. The only time we might be able to grant an exception is if the pet is a HYPOALLERGENIC breed (dog). Proof of breed will be required. Prior approval must be granted.

We know there are quite a few houses to choose from. We hope that our house can charm you with its personality, originality, location, and amenities as well as the fact that it truly is a sanctuary :)

Hope to host you soon!!

Private Oasis
The property was very clean and had all the amenities and then some. The yard was private and perfect placement of the hot tub and pool. We did not have any kids with us but I could see how this would be a wonderful stay for families with all the activities just on the property. The owners were easy to reach and they provided very explicit directions about the property and appliances.

Great Family Getaway
My husband and I stayed here with our two boys, ages 9 and 10, and it made for a wonderful family trip. The house itself is beautiful and impeccably clean. Every room took comfort and design in mind. Every detail was well thought out in terms of making the place feel like home away from home - stocked kitchen, plenty of towels and linens, easy sign-in access to TV subscriptions, and more. The highlight for our family was the game room and backyard. The backyard is huge and we spent a lot of time playing every sport we could, but even when it was raining there was a ton of fun to be had indoors. The house feels very private, but you're only about a 15min drive from numerous restaurants, supermarkets, and stores. The hosts were a pleasure, very accommodating, and responded to any questions we had within minutes. We can't wait to return!

Simply Serene is ABSOLUTELY incredible and the most authentic and unique rental property we’ve ever
From the moment you arrive, the picturesque farm house invites you to embrace the tranquility of the countryside, surrounded by forests and stunning landscapes. Inside, the farmhouse exudes a timeless charm with its carefully curated decor, complete with cowboy memorabilia and weathered wood finishes.The meticulous attention to detail in the Farmhouse decor effortlessly blends with Wild West-inspired decor and motifs, creating an aesthetic that is both inviting and visually striking. The attention to detail extends to the outdoor areas, adorned with a vintage wagon and carts, weathered barrels, rustic wheels, old farming artifacts, and even an entire authentic frontier town adding character, and authenticity to this unique property and making the outdoor space truly captivating. The frontier town features a Saloon with real swing doors, Marshall’s office with wanted posters, Bank with bags of money, Jail house, an Outlaw photo frame, lassoing, authentic laundry wringer, and a prospector log house. Simply Serene goes above and beyond with indoor/outdoor amenities and activities.(Too many to name).There is truly something for everyone! Donna & Paul are exceptional hosts. They don’t merely provide a service; they create an atmosphere of genuine warmth, making you feel not just welcome, but truly valued. Simply Serene offers not just a place to stay; it’s a captivating blend of history, style, and entertainment allowing you to immerse yourself in the charm of the Wild West era

Beautiful fun home!
This home was so much fun for our entire family of all ages. It accommodated us all very well from sleeping to plenty of space and activities. Our family needed a different scenery for vacation. We always go to the beach. This beautiful home was only an hour and 20 minutes away from our house. It was just a perfect vacation spot we needed to spend quality time together.

A beautiful getaway
We had 8 people stay at this home and we had a great time there. They have loads of outdoor equipment to play games with each other. Volleyball, croquet, badminton, laser tag, soccer, lacrosse, you name it. We had a crazy volleyball match going for a good 2 hours one day and then relaxed in the hot tub. It was nice. There was a minor problem though. The house was so nice to relax in we didnt even go out anywhere one day. The kitchen is loaded with tools and appliances so you can easily cook there instead of eating out. Being able to grill was nice. We could not have asked for a better place to stay on this vacation and way better than just staying at a boring hotel.

Avid travelers, my wife and I have done it all... we've rented our share of houses and hotels on our trips and adventures throughout the USA and Europe...
...besides traveling we love the outdoors and sports, all the fun things in life, good friends, food, and laughter :) and we hope to help create fun and warm memories for others at our new place (we've been hosting at 2 other locations for over 10 years now)... we love nature and animals and are excited to offer a glimpse into their natural habitat right from the terrace of our home... we truly enjoy building and creating things and we are passionate about farmhouse and rustic styles which shows throughout the house as we have lovingly decorated the house with original pieces.... we hope to host kindred souls that will love and enjoy the style, energy, and atmosphere.
