Beautiful retreat in the Pocono Mountains

Liz and Tom's property is really amazing. 400 acres to explore next to state game land. Short walk to D&L trail and hiking in Lehigh River Gorge and 11 minute drive to Hickory Run State Park with great hiking. The cabin is rustic yet has modern amenities. It's a really cool setting with numerous clean ponds, streams, wooded trails, and open fields for walking or running, and for the dogs to run free. Camp fires every night. Very private. Our family had a great time and will be back.

Family Christmas

This cabin is right out of a Hallmark movie! We even had snow for Christmas!! Our dog loved running all around and she even made snow angels in the snow!! LOL. We had an issue with the heat our first night but the owner was able to get the problem resolved the next morning and after that we were warm and cozy!

Silver Fox Weekend

The timber frame house was well built, rustic and compliments the property. My family was comfortable and enjoyed the game room when we were not having fun outside. The location is ideal for those who want to enjoy the Lehigh River Trail.

Lovely cabin and easy stay

My family enjoyed a long weekend, taking advantage of the pond for swimming and boating, the walk to the nearby waterfall, and the fire pit for some evening smores. Major Tom was helpful and, as others noted, brought us fresh eggs and was available if anything came up. We all had a wonderful time. Minor mark down on cleanliness because there were mouse droppings on the pans kept in the lower shelves of the kitchen, as wells as a large pile of droppings--presumably more than a couple days worth--on the second floor balcony that we had to sweep out before our dog got at them. But all together it was a wonderful stay!

Beautiful getaway

The cabin is nestled tucked away. There is another cabin next to you. Our cabin was so lovely. It is right near the pond and there are friendly ducks. Duck food was provided and our girls loved feeding them. We brought our pup, a basset hound, who loved hiking with us and enjoying all the new smells. Liz answered all my questions and Major Tom greeted us when we checked in. He brought us fresh eggs! The rooms were clean and we loved the openness of the living space and kitchen. We enjoyed a movie night when it was raining and our last night we did a camp fire to roast marshmallows. Major Tim brought us dry firewood and started the campfire for us! He was attentive and so helpful. The bathtub was wonderful to use after a long day of white water rafting which we did at a place only 10 minutes drive. We enjoyed our stay and wished we could have stayed longer. We hope to come back in the fall. We all had a fun and relaxing time.

So peaceful

What a beautiful, peaceful, slice of nature! The perfect mix of relaxation and active enjoyment! The cabin was so comfortable and accommodating, the immediate yard was great for fires and kids playing, the pond and trails were fun to explore, and the waterfall was magical! Hosts were responsive and inviting, and Major Tom was so generous with his farm fresh eggs and tips for watching the gorgeous sunset! Really hoping to return regularly!

A dream getaway cabin

The cabin is stunning and very well equipped. We had a great time. It was clean and super quiet. We enjoyed exploring the wildlife that surrounded us and hiking in the nearby State Park (and the creek that runs just behind the cabin). Liz and Major Tom were super attentive and welcoming. We'll be happy to come again.

Good weekend getaway

My family of 4 enjoyed our stay. My boys liked ping pong and shuffleboard (no pool table as listed). The pond in our opinion was not swim friendly but the boys did canoe some. We enjoyed camp fires. We liked the walk to the waterfall but the trails are not marked well so a little hard to find but Major Tom gave good instructions that helped. We enjoyed being near the state parks to hike at and did white water raft which was fun. Kitchen had what we needed and doing some laundry was really helpful as this was the second leg of our vacation. Shower was tight and was missing soap so bring your own. Overall a good find and a fun time.

Memories

The memories we collected carry much more value then material gifts. From times around the campfire to wild scenes of Nana with her first fish landed only with the assistance of her 4 year old grandson. From feeding the ducks to canoe rides on the pond. What a wonderful vacation.

Best vacation in a very long time

All the reviews are true! This cabin is beautiful, clean, fun, welcoming, unique, and comfortable. Close enough to Kalahari for the kids a day but spent most time on the property. You can’t beat fresh eggs and jam from Major Tom as well as his vast knowledge of the area. The fishing was awesome for our kids. Bedding was super comfy. Can’t wait to come back!

Awesome Location

This is the second stay for my family at Brookside. What we enjoy most is having access to 370+ acres which includes fish ponds and paths for meandering. There's a nearby stream and waterfall to explore, plus easy access to the D&L trail for walking or biking. Also, Hickory Run State Park is close by for hiking. Overall, a very relaxing place to escape!

Peace & Tranquility!

From the moment we stepped on the property and heard the running water behind the house it set the mood for our trip. It was such a quiet few days. No people, no noise. Just birds, water and relaxation. Our dog loved the off leash long walk down the trail. Coffee on the deck was enjoyed each morning sitting in the “egg” swinging chair, listening to the tiny water falls. Not only was the outside wonderful but the inside of the house was amazing and comfortable. It was just what we needed.

About the host

Hosted by Liz Griffin

Host profile image
Our parents, Tom and Marie, were born in Phila, Pa. Starting out, Tom worked as a kitchen installer for Sears, while Marie managed their apartment building and cared for their children. A move out of the city to the riverside village of Point Pleasant, Pa. provided exciting new opportunity. The family created the east coast's largest recreation outfitter, Bucks County River County. Summer (37 to be exact) was spent on the Delaware River in colorful tubes, rafts, canoes, and kayaks.

During the fall season, Marie & Tom, with their combined creativity, operated a theatrical Halloween hayride attraction, Bucks County Haunted Woods, on 100 wooded riverfront acres in Upper Black Eddy, Pa.

Marie and Tom purchased and renovated the 200 year old historic Indian Rock Inn, which sat overlooking the Delaware River Canal. Tom used his building skills, acquired during youth, to renovate the inn, crating 8 spacious bedrooms from the original 16, each with private bathrooms. Marie, a lover of antique restoration and gifted at making all things beautiful, decorated the establishment with antiques and art which she collected and refurbished. The inn also boasted a 5 Star restaurant, summer brunch dining area overlooking the canal and river, bar seating area, and a fourth level living suite with spectacular views of the surrounding river valley.

Tom breathed excitement and activity. During the spring and fall he would guide white water rafting excursions on the Tohickon Creek. Winters were spent escorting ski groups to Europe and guiding them down the Alps.

Marie experiences life at a slower pace, with quiet contemplation and reflection. She is the cross country skier to his black diamond downhill. Her home is always surrounded by a beautiful garden, the smell of something cooking, and the anticipation of chatting and visiting with one of their five children, Tom, Mark, Matt, Marie, and Liz, and their nine grandchildren.

Tom passed away in March 2020.
