About this property

Woodland Escape • Relax, Unwind & Explore the Seasons of the Poconos

Welcome to Woodland Escape, your ideal year‑round getaway in Towamensing Trails. This spacious three‑floor home is designed for comfort, connection, and fun — perfect for families, multi‑generational groups, and friends looking to unwind and explore the Poconos.

Room to Spread Out

Entertainment for All Ages

- Pool table
- Foosball
- Ping pong
- Cornhole

Two living rooms upstairs offer space for movie nights, quiet reading, or family time.

Outdoor Relaxation
Step outside to enjoy:

- Three decks with seating
- Gas grill
- Peaceful, wooded surroundings

Walk to the Lake, Beach & Community Pool
Towamensing Trails’ main recreation area — the lake, sandy beach, and seasonal community pool — is just a 15‑minute walk or 3‑minute drive from the home. This is the heart of the community and a favorite spot for all.

At the beach area, you’ll find:
- Peddle boat rentals
- Sandy swimming beach
- Playground
- Sand volleyball court
- Beautiful lake views

Right next to the beach is the community pool, offering a great alternative for guests who prefer poolside lounging. Because everything is located together, it’s easy to spend the whole day enjoying the lakefront.

Kayaks & Marina Area
Your stay includes the use of two kayaks (seasonal). The marina area is great for launching kayaks and enjoying calm waters, with nearby tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts.

Guest Badges
Your stay includes 8 guest badges for access to the beach, lake area amenities, and community pool. Children 6 and under do not require badges. Additional wristbands are available for purchase at the beach area for $10/day/band.

Beautiful Fall Foliage
Fall in the Poconos is breathtaking, and Woodland Escape puts you right in the middle of it. The community is surrounded by vibrant reds, oranges, and golds, making it perfect for leaf‑peeping, crisp morning walks, and cozy evenings in the hot tub. Nearby parks like Hickory Run State Park and scenic overlooks in Jim Thorpe offer some of the best fall views in Pennsylvania. It’s one of the most peaceful and picturesque times of year to visit.

Winter Fun & Ski Season
Winter transforms the Poconos into a snowy playground. Woodland Escape is close to several popular ski resorts, including Big Boulder (10 min), Jack Frost (20 min), Camelback (30 min), and Blue Mountain (30 min). Whether you love skiing, snowboarding, tubing, or simply relaxing by the fireplace after a day on the slopes, this home is perfectly located for a cozy winter getaway. The hot tub is a guest favorite during ski season.

Great vacation! 4 adults and 8 kids and the house was perfect for us. Plenty of room and things for kids to do. House was very clean, beds were comfy, dining table fit all of us for meals. 5 cars fit easily in the main driveway. The quick drive to the lake and pool was super convenient, and the lake is the cleanest lake we’ve stayed at in the poconos. Jen is extremely quick at responding to any questions we had while there. If you have a big group, I definitely recommend this house!

First of all, the house was clean, organized, and well-stocked. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful. The outside decks are private and quiet.Our hostess provided precise directions about everything we needed to know from directions as to how to get to the property to making sure we used the kitchen fan when cooking so the fire alarm would not trip on.The first day we were there it rained. Not a problem for us as we had plenty of entertainment……ping pong, pool, cornhole, hot tub, games …..The next day there was tennis, swimming, and checking out Jim Thorpe, Pa. There were ten family members on this trip aged 13 to 75, and this was an awesome experience for all of us!!!!!!

Picturesque mountain retreat. Owner makes sure you feel welcome and comfortable. Great place for a family to get away and enjoy each other. As summer visitors it was just a short drive to the beach, the pool or the marina with two kayaks you can use.

Jen was very resonsive throughout the process. The house was a great gathering place and easily accomodated our group of 7 adults, 2 kids, and 2 dogs. With multiple common areas, we all had somewhere to go. The large kitchen table was great for shared meals and games! The kitchen is outfitted with lots of gadgets, appliances, dishes, silverware accomodating large groups. Extra fridge and freezer space in the lower game room which is awesome with large groups needing to store food. We had a great time while visiting. I would rebook this home again.
