Winter home away from home

The house and property are everything you see and more. House has all amenities you could possibly need. Super clean. Property is amazing, wonderful hiking trails, basketball, pickle ball, corn horn, grass areas, fire pit, firewood, views and sunsets. Ultra private but close to Blue Mountain and Jim Thorpe, Appalachian trail and other carbon county destinations. 5 stars all the way.

Well-appointed and off the beaten path

The house was very well stocked with essentially anything we needed in the kitchen (we did a ton of cooking), the property was wonderful as advertised. We brought all of our dogs and I spent a lot of time outside. We stayed over Christmas and it was very nice to have some small Christmas decorations in the house when we arrived! On a nice day, sitting outside on the deck is very relaxing.

Fantastic getaway

Beautiful property with built in scenery. Very secluded. Far away but close to food and entertainment. Couldn’t have asked for a better location.

Great Weekend Vacay

We live about 2 hours away in NJ. The house and area were exactly what we were looking for to spending some time in nature and enjoy the beautiful foliage. The house is nicely stocked with essentials and even a plethora of games. It was four adults (myself, my husband, my brother and his girlfriend) + my two rescue pups. Everyone had a great time, enjoying the privacy of the property while still being close to a lot of activities.

Why they chose this property

I grew-up in the Philadelphia area and always loved the mountains. I got started skiing in high school and I got hooked. I wanted a house by a ski area for my kids and I was fortunate enough to be able to afford a second home right by Blue Mountain. This kids are older, scattered about and we've now opened the house up to renters.

What makes this property unique

The setting is private. Just a few minutes to the Valley Lodge of Blue Mountain Ski Resort, close to the Appalachian Trail, Lehigh River and Beltzville State Park. We're close to the Poconos, but not so close that you feel like you're in a tourist trap. Palmerton is a nice town, if you want touristy things, go to nearby Jim Thorpe. River outfitters along the Lehigh River Gap provide great day trips and we have 4 kayaks available to guests who want to DIY on the river.
