FISHING (Pa license/trout stamp req.) on the "prime eastern TROUT STREAM" of the Big Bushkill Creek in this "sweet spot" for all exp. levels (no guarantees except fun!). Renowned for Trout in spring with Bass and bluegill in summer, and trout again in fall., this stream is an ideal size and quality (levels naturally vary with weather conditions).
OTHER FISHING experiences include the famous Shad run a few miles downstream on the Bushkill Estuary of the Delaware River. RESICA FALLS FLY FISHING PRESERVE is just a few miles upstream (SAME CREEK! a short car ride) where you can sightsee the outstanding falls (free) or enjoy renowned catch-and-release trout water year-round (small donation requested by BSA) and HUNTING with special permit! Eat at Tom X along the way.
GOLF at NUMEROUS QUALITY courses, several just minutes nearby! Zip Line, Escape Room, Go Karts, gambling, wine tasting, togetherness, historic homes, hiking trails, waterfalls, relaxation, museums, shopping, self-discovery, bass and trout fishing, lazy or crazy adventure water, nothing-on-a-list stuff, horseback riding, bicycle, boat or plane trips with YOU and YOUR GUEST'S EXCLUSIVE TIME in YOUR VACATION HOME at the CENTER OF IT ALL!
HIKERS can use formal and informal trails that offer a lifetime of opportunities, many well supported on maps and apps- the rest up to you!
And If you love WATERFALLS you can explore some each time you come, such as Bushkill Falls on a developed walkway (fee), and along the roadways and other formal hikes, or make your own way along the many tributaries that fill the extensive watershed!
WORK OR ATTEND SCHOOL REMOTELY (or not!) while taking a major break from the routine. We have the WIFI connections for services that meet the needs of remote working professionals, school students and gamers alike. Imagine getting the necessary regular remote work accomplished but this time amid the views and bustling sounds of the creek as an Eagle flies by, or even roosts in your window view (see photos!)... Sit on the elevated deck or stroll outside with morning coffee. Enjoy the actual benefits of nature as it rejuvenates; research continues to prove medical and other benefits such as stress reduction (cortisol) which improves "immediately upon immersion in nature," and that's a fact! Relaxation begins with your choice to book here, and keeps getting better as you arrive and just be here!
WHERE ELSE CAN YOU GO that allows you to CHOOSE to completely (or nearly completely) disconnect from it all? Precisely because of the unique topography of the deep river valley, you can tell everyone you are "out of service" and be accurate, while you truly rest heart, soul, mind and body! And we won't tell that there is a full WIFI calling option AND a back up land line that you can give access to that important person, or even the kids that we sometimes leave at home to reconnect with JUST each other... Think about it! Disconnect from everything and TRULY ESCAPE or stay connected as needed.
We perform EXTENSIVE CLEANING of all contact surfaces with meticulous allergen removal and "every time" protocols for appliances, furniture and well, everything! And our state of the art OVERSIZED capacity hygienic washer/dryer can actually handle the big fluffy stuff including the oversized bedding, shams, blankets and throws! Leave the worry out of the adventure when it comes to these fine details!
So make plans, or no plans at all! Play games, rest or watch movies. Enjoy your streaming services or watch ours: commercial free DISNEY+ HULU & ESPN plus CABLE TV on one of 3 flat screen TV's (FREE cable living room TV; each w/ WIFI capability + HDMI ports for GAMING etc.. Bring a DVD (regular/blue/4K) or watch one from our library. Or, keep the screen black and just enjoy the peace and quiet!

PERFECT for a TRANQUIL WOODSY RETREAT ANY SEASON where a small family, pair of couples or close friends can reconnect in this SURPRISING LOCATION in it's hideout along a Class A trout stream nestled at the end (cul de sac) of a small private community gravel road shared only by a few homes, historic cabins and MOTHER NATURE. And there is no comparison to a room or even two at a hotel (a FINE quality hotel)! Few homes combine the best features of the best rental homes in such a unique and memorable way; this is "the best" getaway spot (or hub home for anything NorthEast) in our opinion and of our guests and friends over many, many years!
STAY HERE for true quality and value, and make the "best" of the good times!
