Family & Pet Friendly Retreat w/Pool, Lake, Hot Tub: Poconos/Catskills/Masthope

Escape to Little Norway PA, where cozy luxury meets nature’s tranquility. Bask in sunlight through cathedral windows, unwind in your private Finnish sauna & forest hot tub, and savor peaceful days 5 minutes from Ski Big Bear’s chair-to-chair runs, pools, mini golf, and lake beach.

Perfect for families & couples yearning for a serene getaway w/relaxing spa amenities, local outdoor adventures (skiing, hiking, fishing, rafting) and artsy towns of the Pocono-Sullivan Catskill mountain community.


Living Room & Gathering Space:
Step inside to soaring cathedral ceilings and expansive windows framing a quiet half-acre of lush forest. Relax on plush seating by the electric fireplace, or enjoy movie nights on the 48" Smart TV with high-speed WiFi.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms:
Sleep soundly in two well-appointed bedrooms. The mobility-friendly first-floor master suite boasts a king bed with an attached full bathroom and radiant floor heating for extra comfort. Upstairs, a cozy second bedroom invites restful nights. Both bedrooms feature spa-quality Anthropologie & Quince linens, blackout curtains, and thoughtful essentials.

Sleeps 6 (***Note: Sleeping configurations are most comfortable for a maximum of four adults)

Tiny Spa Retreat:
Unwind in your own private indoor Finnish wood sauna, complete with Harvia essential oils for a true spa experience. Slip into embroidered waffle robes and cozy spa slippers, then step outside to soak in the six-person hot tub under the stars—perfect for relaxing after a day of adventure.

Reading Nook & Workspace:
Nestled upstairs, a bright, serene nook offers a peaceful view to fuel your remote work or quiet reading moments.

Creative Corner:
We love books, games, & crafts and keep a creative corner stocked with projects to ensure fun for all ages.

Family & Play Areas:
Families will appreciate inclusions like kitchen set, crib, high chair, children’s toys and dinnerware, and easy access to the playground, pools, and mini golf in our Masthope Mtn Community.

Kitchen & Dining:
Cook up memorable meals in a fully equipped kitchen with Nespresso & Mr. Coffee coffeemakers, quality cookware, sharp knives, pantry essentials, and a farmhouse dining table ideal for gathering over home-cooked feasts. Forget something? Enjoy local goodies from our FarmBar & complimentary coffee from local roasters.

We encourage sustainability with energy-efficient kitchen appliances, cloth napkins & kitchen towels, and filtered tap water.

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.

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.

SAFETY NOTE

Our photos show a wood burning fireplace. Our wood burning fireplace is unfortunately non-operational. Guests tell us they enjoy the cozy, easy-to-use electric fireplace in place of the wood burning fireplace in the photos.

We enjoy working hard with our hands to provide a space that feels as welcoming and peaceful as the forest Little Norway is nestled in. We value feedback to help us make your stay more welcoming and rejuvenating.

And if you’ve enjoyed your time here, we’d be truly grateful for your review—it helps others discover this retreat and supports what we’re creating.
