Summary:
Escape to the Poconos at the Red Tail Retreat. Our cozy & stylish cabin set in nature has 5 private bedrooms with 1 King, 3 Queen & 2 Twin Bunk Beds. Relax in comfort by the fireplaces or play games in the entertainment room. You can hang out on the over-sized deck & have a soak in the 6-person hot tub.
In the summer enjoy the outdoor private community pool, beach and lake. Then in the colder months hit the slopes at Big Boulder Mountain or Jack Frost Ski Resort just minutes away by car.
The Space:
The Red Tail Retreat is the perfect family or group of friend's getaway for outdoor enthusiasts looking to unwind or seek adventure in the Poconos. As you approach the cabin be alert driving as its almost a guarantee you will see some wildlife, likely deer. Pull into the spacious gravel driveway which accommodates 7 cars.
Plenty of fun to be had as you enter the cabin through the lower level and into the Entertainment Room equipped with games galore. These include Air Hockey, Shuffleboard, Ring Toss, and Retro video games on the 55 -inch HDTV (bring your own login and enjoy any app!). A full complement of board and card games including poker provides many fun options for everyone. Grab a blanket and cozy up on the couch by the red retro electric fireplace which enhances the cabin vibes aesthetic.
We have 5 individual private bedrooms, and each bedroom includes a television.
You will find the Master Bedroom at the end of the hall on the lower level holds A KING size bed with premium memory foam mattress (which are on all the beds). This generous space also holds a 55-inch HDTV and additional seating area. For those looking to get some work done a full-sized desk is also included.
The first of 2 bathrooms is located outside the master bedroom. A newly designed white tile walk-in shower brightens the room.
We offer premium bath and shower products to our guests from Public Goods, an eco-friendly and health-conscious company, including hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. A full-sized stackable washer and dryer are also found in this space.
Across from the bathroom is the first of three queen-sized bedrooms with plenty of closet space and a colorful design.
As you head upstairs you will pass by the mini-bar and fridge which are equipped for any of your cocktail needs. The main living area upstairs is open concept with cathedral ceilings providing plenty of room for everyone.
You will have no problem cooking up any meal in the fully equipped kitchen. On your left sits a coffee bar with the option for regular coffee or K-cups (included).
A dining table that seats 8 and 2 bar stools at the kitchen island provide seating for 10 guests to enjoy a meal. These spaces make for the perfect setting to enjoy socializing while someone prepares beverages or a meal. Additional features include:
✲ Fun and playful color theme
✲ Abundant lighting
✲ Consumables provided (paper towels, soap, sponges)
✲ Cooking essentials including oil/salt/pepper/spices
✲ Stainless steel appliances and granite countertop in kitchen
Another electric fireplace awaits in the living room. A curated reading collection sits on the mantle with works covering such topics as What to do in the Poconos, Cabin living, and classics. Grab some reading material and get comfy on the sofa in front of the fireplace. A 50-inch HDTV above the mantle is another alternative to pass some time. There is also the record player with a diverse vinyl collection and a guitar. Whether listening to a classic album (we’ve got something for everyone!) or strumming out a few chords you will surely have some laughs and make memories.
Enter the hall to find the 2nd bathroom on the right, also tastefully updated with a fun black and white tile. Each bathroom also has a hair dryer and make up towels.
Back into the hallway where you find two more good-sized queen bedrooms both with ample closet space. At the end of the hall on the left is the 5th bedroom which holds two twin bunk beds and a 43-inch HDTV and more retro video games, as perhaps the younger ones might want to declare this room their space during the stay.
