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.

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 hang out at the fire pit on 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.

There are a number of area restaurants/taverns serving everything from pub food to fine dining.

Great Place to Stay

We totally enjoyed our stay at this property. You felt like a guest in someone's home. The hosts were so responsive, and the house truly felt like a cabin in the woods. It was furnished with anything you could need. We enjoyed the fire pit in the evening after hiking and biking. We will definitely be back.

Birthday Getaway

We had a great stay at this rental! The home was very clean, and the kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed for cooking. Access to the property was easy, and the hosts were fantastic—very communicative and flexible, which made our trip even smoother.The only downside was the amount of ice on the driveway and leading into both entrances. It was quite hazardous upon arrival, and we had to be extra careful navigating in and out. We attempted to break the ice up with melt and shovels, but could not make a significant impact. Some extra attention to ice removal would make a big difference for winter guests, especially those in their 70s.Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and we'd definitely consider returning.

Jim Thorpe cabin

We have rented this cabin from Joan & Tom multiple times. No complaints! The new addition of loft bedroom is beautiful. We love the peace and quiet of this location. Plus lots of kitchen amenities. We had a beautiful week and enjoyed one evening outside around the fire ring - s'mores for all!

Last summer hurrah

Enjoyed a long weekend here at the tail end of the summer and loved every minute of it. The property was spacious enough for a family of 4, clean, had a great assortment of games for the kids, and a nice fire pit for evening smores. The owners were very responsive via email and text. The location was great, secluded and quiet, but close enough to Hickory Run, downtown Jim Thorpe, and Lehigh Gorge. Only downside was not having a washer/dryer - so be prepared to bring extra towels if doing water activities.
