Timber framed cabin nestled in the Pocono Mountains on a private estate

Escape to the beauty of nature! You may never have stayed in cabins quite like ours. Hand built by the owner with wood from the land, they are an unmatched combination of comfort and charm. Overlooking a beautiful brook and mountain view, with trails to the Lehigh River Gorge, the setting offers tranquil scenery and sounds.

Our luxurious rustic cabins offer 3BR, 2 baths (one with a clawfoot tub. The sound of the brook can be heard as you soak peacefully), with spacious open ceilings and skylights. It can comfortably house up to seven, although if you are only two, you will still find it cozy. Covered porches and balconies, on both levels, provide a spectacular treetop view of the brook, pond, and surrounding nature. Brook Cabin is decorated with unique and rare root furniture, numerous fireplaces, fully equipped kitchen, and prepared with fresh bed linens and towels.

The cabin is stocked with board games and game room for fun family evenings. You will feel warm and welcomed the moment you step through our door.

For the more adventurous (or to just relax and float around) there are tubes and boats to use in our natural spring fed swimming pond. Your private bonfire area, supplied with wood, will be ready for evening s'more roasting and stargazing (no light pollution, you can see the Milky Way!) Endless activities are available no matter what the season.

Loved the cabin and location - so peaceful! A little slice of heaven. Sad to see it is being sold but hope the new owners will continue to rent this to others. The best part was being able to bring our dogs and letting them swim and run through the woods. Lots of places to hike and the waterfall was a great spot too!

We went to this property for quiet, and it delivered. The grounds are massive and we had the whole place to ourselves. My dog and 3 year old and my parents enjoyed hiking, the boat on the lake and just the peace of the area. The only issue was that no one had teported to the owner that the dishwasher was broken. I informed the owner of needing a fix. I would absolutely book this location again.

Beautiful retreat in the Pocono Mountains

Liz and Tom's property is really amazing. 400 acres to explore next to state game land. Short walk to D&L trail and hiking in Lehigh River Gorge and 11 minute drive to Hickory Run State Park with great hiking. The cabin is rustic yet has modern amenities. It's a really cool setting with numerous clean ponds, streams, wooded trails, and open fields for walking or running, and for the dogs to run free. Camp fires every night. Very private. Our family had a great time and will be back.

About the host

Hosted by Liz Griffin

Host profile image
Our parents, Tom and Marie, were born in Phila, Pa. Starting out, Tom worked as a kitchen installer for Sears, while Marie managed their apartment building and cared for their children. A move out of the city to the riverside village of Point Pleasant, Pa. provided exciting new opportunity. The family created the east coast's largest recreation outfitter, Bucks County River County. Summer (37 to be exact) was spent on the Delaware River in colorful tubes, rafts, canoes, and kayaks.

During the fall season, Marie & Tom, with their combined creativity, operated a theatrical Halloween hayride attraction, Bucks County Haunted Woods, on 100 wooded riverfront acres in Upper Black Eddy, Pa.

Marie and Tom purchased and renovated the 200 year old historic Indian Rock Inn, which sat overlooking the Delaware River Canal. Tom used his building skills, acquired during youth, to renovate the inn, crating 8 spacious bedrooms from the original 16, each with private bathrooms. Marie, a lover of antique restoration and gifted at making all things beautiful, decorated the establishment with antiques and art which she collected and refurbished. The inn also boasted a 5 Star restaurant, summer brunch dining area overlooking the canal and river, bar seating area, and a fourth level living suite with spectacular views of the surrounding river valley.

Tom breathed excitement and activity. During the spring and fall he would guide white water rafting excursions on the Tohickon Creek. Winters were spent escorting ski groups to Europe and guiding them down the Alps.

Marie experiences life at a slower pace, with quiet contemplation and reflection. She is the cross country skier to his black diamond downhill. Her home is always surrounded by a beautiful garden, the smell of something cooking, and the anticipation of chatting and visiting with one of their five children, Tom, Mark, Matt, Marie, and Liz, and their nine grandchildren.

Tom passed away in March 2020.
