My wife, sons, and I reside in New Jersey and work in New York. We love hosting friends and family, exploring new places, binging on Netflix, and enjoying great food, from Michelin restaurants to hole-in-the-walls off the beaten path. Having toiled away in the corporate world for nearly two decades now, the stresses of work have really worn us down. We decided to create an escape for families like ours to repair and recharge the soul. We found this in the Poconos and hope that you'll find our "home away from home" an idyllic place for you to enjoy, relax, and recover as well.
