About this property
Pocono Mountain Retreat
The cabin is in a quiet community, located between the historic town of Jim Thorpe and Big Boulder ski resort. Surrounded by lush rhododendron on a 2-acre wooded lot, the property offers a sense of seclusion without sacrificing the security that comes with being in a community. It is a good place to relax and enjoy nature.
We will be doing renovations on the exterior of the cabin between July 1st and September 30th, 2025. The cabin will not be available any time during this blocked period. If you are interested in renting the cabin after this period, we will let you know of the changes being made, prior to your request.
The interior of the house is newly renovated. The main living area consists of a combined living room and kitchen with a vaulted ceiling. The kitchen is well equipped. The living room is comfortable (with a new reclining sofa and chair recliner) and has a cozy gas fireplace.
The Loft area has just been newly renovated into a Master Bedroom Suite with a Full Bathroom and private deck overlooking the lush rhododendron.
Outside you can relax on the lower deck or in our 4 new Adirondack chairs. There is a gas grille and table with chairs for outside dining.
There is no shortage of things to do in the Poconos. Below is a list of some area attractions: - Close to the quaint historic town of Jim Thorpe for shopping, dining, entertainment, historic tours, and scenic train ride. - Hiking and biking trails at Hickory Run State park (home of Boulder Field), and Lehigh Gorge State Park (Lehigh Gorge trail). - Skiing at nearby Jack Frost/Big Boulder. - White water rafting and paintball at Pocono Whitewater. - Concerts at Penns Peak concert venue - Pocono Raceway - Beltsville, Hickory Run and Mauch Chuck Lakes nearby, and our own Community Lake, as well.

Such a pleasant experience from start to finish. Hosts were superb and very communicative. House was very clean! Not too far from Jim Thorpe and smack in the middle of nature. A true escape! Lovely place and highly recommended!
The place was perfect for a private getaway with friends and family. It was clean and organized - close enough to restaurants and stores as well as activities.
The cabin was so lovely, and very much as described online. The rooms were decorated so nicely, and the fireplace made the living room/kitchen area cozy and relaxing. My husband and I had a wonderful weekend away visiting the Poconos. The owner was easy to communicate with, and allowed us a late checkout on our last day. Wonderful experience!
Cute little cabin in a quaint little communty. The host was very responsive and kept me informed
The hiking and scenery in the area was amazing. Great stay!

This is a wonderful cabin. The location is great and itโs very private and quiet. Unbelievably well stocked. We have stayed in many VRBo properties and this is one of the best. We had a great time.
Very comfortable and well kept. Nestled amongst rhododendrons and white pines, quiet and private. Great location for exploring Hickory Run State Park and Jim Thorpe area.
