About this property

Family Favorite Poconos 5BR Retreat w/ Hot Tub + Game Arcade + Kid's Playroom

Welcome to Boulder Run, an elevated Poconos family retreat located minutes from Kalahari, Great Wolf, and Camelback designed for the kind of family trip where everyone gets their own version of a perfect day.
Imagine: tournament nights in your own private arcade, kids posted up in their own dedicated play zone, hot tub soaks under the stars, and sunset s’mores by the fire pit. Inside: a fully stocked chef’s kitchen with coffee bar, two living rooms, and five bedrooms allow for effortless group stays. This is Poconos hospitality done right: stylish, curated, unforgettable.

Life at Boulder Run naturally splits into “gather” and “play” in the best way. Upstairs is the main social level, with vaulted ceilings, an open living and dining space that comfortably seats 10, and sliding doors that spill onto an oversized deck with seating for 8 made for long meals and slow mornings.

The fully stocked chef-ready kitchen is the hub of the house, anchored by a U-shaped counter that invites everyone to cook together, snack, and linger, with a coffee bar to start the day right. Two king bedrooms and a full bath sit on this level, giving couples and grandparents a quiet, convenient retreat close to the main gathering space.

Downstairs is where Boulder Run becomes a true family HQ. A second living room with a 70-inch ultra-HD smart TV, cozy gas fireplace, and game table creates a separate lounge for movie nights, cards, and relaxed conversation.

Nearby, the kids play area is intentionally set up so little ones can stay busy while adults can still be present, with a mix of sensory toys and busy boards, STEM puzzles and building sets, and a mini library of classic children’s books, plus seating that makes it comfortable for parents to supervise without hovering.

Then comes the signature feature guests talk about most: your private, guest-favorite arcade room with a retro cabinet loaded with 40,000+ games, Transformers: Human Alliance, Jurassic Park, Mario Kart, kid-friendly basketball and soccer games, and mini air hockey, plus a side door for easy access from the driveway.

The downstairs sleeping wing is a major reason Boulder Run works so well for larger groups, offering a quieter retreat away from the main gathering spaces. This level includes a king bedroom, a bedroom with two queens, and an additional queen bedroom, all set up with the same high-comfort standard, including quality hypoallergenic linens, convenient bedside charging ports, closets, and thoughtful unpacking touches that make longer stays feel easy.
A full bathroom serves the sleeping area with a spacious vanity, tub, and stocked shower essentials including family-friendly items, plus a convenient half bath off the living room for smooth group flow. For extended stays and big crews, the dual washer and dryer downstairs is a true quality-of-life upgrade that keeps everything running clean and effortless.

Outside, evenings settle into the Poconos rhythm. Soak in the 6 person hot tub, grill and dine on the deck, then end the night where most groups do: around the fire pit in Adirondack chairs, trading stories and making s’mores under clear, starry skies. Kids stay entertained, teens stay engaged, and adults finally get to unwind.

Guests consistently mention how clean, thoughtfully stocked, and easy the home feels, from bedside chargers to baby gears and family essentials to fast Starlink internet that makes streaming and remote work simple.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle

Host profile image
Our family loves to travel and has made incredible memories in other people’s homes. I want to give back and share that love through our cherished family home, Boulder Run. I truly enjoy hosting and hope every detail makes you feel especially welcomed, cared for, and pampered during your stay.

Why they chose this property

Boulder Run is located in the Tobyhanna area of the Pocono Mountains, offering a rare blend of peaceful, wooded privacy and practical proximity to the essentials that make group trips easy. Guests love that the home feels tucked away and calm, yet you can reach groceries, coffee, and everyday supplies with a short drive, so you can settle in and actually relax once you arrive.
This home is an ideal base for classic Pocono adventures. Families often plan waterpark days at Kalahari or Great Wolf Lodge, ski and snow tubing trips to Camelback, and afternoons exploring the Delaware Water Gap for hikes and scenic views. For adults, there are plenty of options nearby too, including breweries, wineries, and Mount Airy Casino. Many groups follow the same rhythm: a day out enjoying the Poconos, then a relaxed return home for hot tub time, grilling on the deck, and s’mores by the fire pit under the stars.

What makes this property unique

Boulder Run is a purpose-built, luxury-leaning Poconos retreat designed specifically for affluent family groups and multigenerational stays.

The home delivers the rare “kids stay busy, adults unwind” setup with a true dedicated arcade room, a thoughtfully stocked kids play zone, and two separate living rooms so generations can spread out without feeling split up.

Outside, you get a private hot tub, oversized deck, grill, and a fire pit circle for s’mores and stargazing. Inside, the chef-ready kitchen and coffee bar are set up for real meals together, supported by fast Starlink WiFi and the small hospitality touches guests consistently rave about. Minutes to Camelback, Kalahari, and Great Wolf.
