About this property
Rustic Rest Log Cabin, with hot tub and trout stream, near Poconos attractions.
Come enjoy Rustic Rest, a four season Pocono Mountains retreat. Built alongside a peaceful creek in 1939, this cabin features log construction in a peaceful and pleasant wooded setting along a trout stream with a variety of recreational opportunities nearby. Relax in the new 6-person hot tub under the stars. Perfect for couples and for families, we have a fully stocked and uniquely furnished home. Pets are welcome with no additional fee. Although remote in feel, we are centrally located to East Stroudsburg, Jim Thorpe, Camelback, Shawnee, Delaware Water Gap and most attractions.

Two branches of Marshalls Creek flow through the property with over 350 feet of stream frontage. The creek has good populations of brown, brook and rainbow trout year-round. In addition, we are within a short drive from blue ribbon trout streams such as the Brodhead, Bushkill, Big Pocono, McMichaels and more.
We have three bedrooms with a double, queen and king beds and an additional sleeping area in the loft, which overlooks the living room and offers a futon bed and a twin bed with a trundle. This space makes a wonderful reading area and/or fourth bedroom. An old time arcade machine (Space Invaders!) and Atari console are available.
The upstairs bathroom features a clawfoot bathtub.
A wood-burning fireplace in the living room and a wood-burning stove on the enclosed back porch help chase away the chill.
You can enjoy the hot tub anytime of day—and it's open year round. A towel warmer inside the back porch, just steps from the new 6-person hot tub, is available for your comfort.
Spotlights light up the Woods of Wisdom in the backyard. A flowing creek, picnic tables, fire pit, and hammock with several seating areas make spending time outdoors a delight.
We provide wood for the fireplace, wood stove and fire pit and also provide propane for the grill.
We are located right off of 209 in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, very close to waterfalls, Delaware Water Gap, skiing and many awesome attractions. Spend your entire stay at Rustic Rest or explore the area's attractions.
Safety Devices:
We have five security cameras located on the property. One faces the front walk and lower part of the driveway. One faces the garage and the upper driveway. One faces the house. One faces the stream on the far side of the house to monitor the water level. The last camera is in the lean-to. They will be on.
Road noise. Our log cabin is set back from the road by about 50 yards. Marshalls Creek Road is normally quiet, but traffic (and traffic noise) picks up at times due to commuters. Most are not bothered by this occasional road noise, but if you are looking for a completely remote cabin, we'd recommend keeping this in mind.
Our log cabin is in sight lines of 4 or 5 other cabins, 1 of which is also an active VRBO rental. You may hear activity from the other cabins.
Because our log cabin is rustic and located in the woods, you may encounter wildlife including insects, mice, (flying) squirrels, bats, snakes, raccoons, deer, and bears. If this bothers you, our cabin might not be the right fit for you.
For those visiting with dogs, we do not have any fenced in areas, though there is plenty of space to explore on our property.
Note for those with allergies. We are a pet-friendly cabin. Though we clean thoroughly between guests, those sensitive to pet allergens might still have problems with their allergies even if not traveling with a pet. Please keep this in mind before booking our cabin.
Fire pit use is subject to local ordinances. During periods of drought, the county and/or state may put a burn ban in place, in which case the fire pit may not be used during your stay.
Our washer & dryer are there for your use during your stay. We provide laundry detergent & dryer sheets/dryer balls. To reduce stress on our well, we ask that you not run more than 2 loads per night of your stay.
No smoking or vaping is allowed inside the cabin or while sitting in the hot tub. If you need to smoke or vape, please smoke well away from the front and rear doors. Also, please dispose of your smoking materials responsibly. Thank you!

About the host
Hosted by Doreen, Dave, Lori, & Jon
Wife, mom, librarian. I'm excited to share Rustic Rest with you. I love its log construction and history (it was built in 1939!). It's set in a beautiful, peaceful space and I hope you'll find rest here with an opportunity to recharge.
