Made for a nice quiet homebase.

With so much to see in the area, this house was the perfect "hide-away" although close to everything. Booking and communication with the owner was easy and the house offered everything you'd expect.

had a great stay!

Some friends and I met here for a couple nights in December -- we had a great time! There was plenty of space for everyone, and everything we needed for a couple days and nights: fireplace, kitchen, a place to park ourselves to play cards. I'd be more than happy to rent this place again!

Great Poconos Home Away from Home

We had a great week's vacation in this home; it was clean, comfortable and we enjoyed the open space. A convenient and easy drive in to downtown Jim Thorpe, and Hickory Run State Park a quick drive in the other direction. Working with the owner was fantastic, Catherine is a pleasure to do business with and felt more like a friend than a homeowner renting her home. Will definitely book this house again if we hit the Poconos again!

Secluded getaway

House is phenomenal, suoer clean and a great open layout with a nice big fireplace. Property is secluded and quiet, but close to food stores and other shops, 10 min drive. The dogs had a great time exploring the road and woods. Cathy was super responsive to the few questions we had. Just a great time and a top notch property.

Great Family Get Away

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at the house. We loved the coziness and the openess. The backyard bbq pit was a great added bonus for the evenings we spent outside making smores. It was also very convenient that the towns activities were all centrally located. I would definitely recommend this house to family members and friends. Staying in this beautiful cabin and all of its surrounding peacefullness was an experience we will never forget.

About the host

Hosted by Catherine

Host profile image
Our family lives on busy Long Island which affords us wonderful waterfront and beaches. We have extended family in PA and wanted our own piece of paradise nearby so we ventured out in 2003 and bought this warm, charming, country home. It was love at first sight!

Why they chose this property

When looking for a vacation rental I wanted something my own family would enjoy too. I wanted a country feel in the woods to get us away from our hectic lives. This home is 10 miles off Route 80 at Exit 284. It's just 110 miles from NYC. It was in the perfect location. Extremely private, easy to get to, only a few hours drive and plenty of things to do in the surrounding area. I hope your family loves this home as much as mine does.

What makes this property unique

The family room is my paradise. There are 15 floor to ceiling windows for a panoramic view of the woods. This is where you'll see wild life grazing or just passing through. You'll see for yourself if you join us!
