About this property
Four Seasons Spa Retreat w/25% off Ski: Poconos/West Catskills/Masthope
A thoughtfully designed rural escape for solo travelers, couples, small families, and furry friends within a few hours from NYC & Philly. Little Norway PA awaits!
Enjoy our ¨tiny spa¨ without the price tag of nearby Woodloch: whirlpool & Finnish sauna all to yourself in the surrounding forest & creek. Enjoy the resort amenities (pool, ski, lake) and nearby artsy towns of our Pocono-Sullivan Catskill mountain community.
Our on-site ski resort, Ski Big Bear, is perfect for a crowd-free family ski day. Guests receive 25% off lifts.
SPACE TO BREATHE & CONNECT
Our open chalet layout seeks to maximize the comforting and healing properties of natural light.
Enter through the living room where cathedral ceilings and windows overlook a serene half acre of forest.
The reading nook/office upstairs is perfect for a remote work vacation.

NOTES ON NATURE
Being close to nature is part of the Little Norway PA experience given our rural location. We have bald eagle, porcupine, deer, and the occasional bear visitor! We choose not to use insecticides in order to keep the environment healthy for you and the local wildlife. We want you to feel completely at ease here and are always happy to answer any questions ahead of your stay.
We do have two neighboring homes towards the front of the property, so while we cannot guarantee 100% privacy, these neighbors are rarely present.
NOTES ON PARTIES
Little Norway PA is best experienced as a space for chill time. If you are seeking a space for a party, we can recommend other areas of the Poconos. Quiet hours are 10pm-6am.
