The Space
★ "There were so many nice and thoughtful touches everywhere. It will be more than you expect. Great Hosts and location too!"
At Poplar Cottage, every aspect of your stay has been designed to encourage relaxation, recovery, and reconnection.
Throughout the home, you’ll feel inspired by furnishings from luxury brands such as West Elm, Crate & Barrel, Pottery Barn, Grandin Road, and Restoration Hardware. The fully equipped kitchen, with GE and Smeg appliances, allows you to create a home-cooked (or grilled!) meal to enjoy either at the large dining table or outdoor Polywood table. Grab a book from our shelf and cozy up by the fireplace, connect to the Sonos speakers and fill the house with music, or head up to the loft to game on the retro console. In the evening, gather around the fire pit to craft s'mores using the Solo Stove or warm up by the chiminea. When you're ready to relax, stream your favorite shows on one of the many smart TVs throughout the Cottage.
And when you are ready to venture out, we highly recommend a walk around the community lake or a quick drive to one of the many nearby Poconos attractions.

Clean, Easy, Pretty and Convenient stay
We loved our weekend getaway to go skiing. The house was super neat, clean and had everything we needed. A fully stocked kitchen with tea, coffee, smores kit and more. The kitchen was stocked with all new dishes, utensils and cook ware. Everything was brand new, lovely furnished and ascetically beautiful (seriously, I loved the kitchen, kids rooms and the continuity of green throughout the home). Communication was easy. had the right frequency. The house was only 5-10 minutes to Big Boulder, so it was super convenient. We will definitely be coming back next winter!

Host profile image
Hi! We are a 30-something-year old couple, currently residing outside Philadelphia, raising two toddlers and our Golden Retriever pup. Jules is fulfilling her dream of creating spaces for connection through thoughtful design at Poplar Cottage, while specializing in Operations for a healthcare agency for her 9-5. Mike brings Jules' design visions to life and certainly continues his legacy of being named "most resourceful" in High School. Outside of planking walls and installing light fixtures, Mike works in Analytics, within the healthcare industry.

Poplar Cottage is just the beginning of Dogwood Getaways. We aim to bring a little piece of what home means for us to you: a space that feels clean and safe and a place for you to recharge, recover, and reconnect with others and yourself. We would love to help guide you based on your interests, whether it's to a restaurant, spa, coffee spot, the mountains, or a hiking trail. Feel free to reach out - our "virtual" door is always open! We can't wait to host you!

Why they chose this property

Being able to walk to the lake beach drew us to this property. As we spent more time preparing it for our future guests we loved it more and more each day. The chance to make s'mores with our kiddos and have a beautiful space in the calm and serenity of the Poconos keeps us coming back!
