Summary:
Escape to your private luxury resort in the heart of the Poconos. This 10,000 square foot architectural estate sits on four private acres, built for family reunions, wellness retreats, corporate gatherings, and celebrations.
Nine bedrooms, two full kitchens, two game rooms, a hidden Mystery Room, two pools, a hot tub, and a sauna. Modern elegance paired with amenities and a mountain escape unlike any other.
Whether you're spending the day by the pool, enjoying friendly competition in the game rooms, unwinding in the hot tub or sauna, or simply gathering together to create lifelong memories, Grand Oak Estate offers something for everyone.
The Space:
Designed by an architect and land developer, the estate opens with a private driveway, forest views, and a foyer where soaring ceilings and striking staircases set the tone.
LIVING ROOM
The great room is the heart of the home, filled with light and open views of the pool and greenery. Expansive windows, a custom dining table for large groups, and comfortable lounge areas.
KITCHEN
Built for large groups and serious cooks: dual wall ovens, two full-size refrigerators, an eight-burner induction cooktop, pantry, dishwasher, and full cookware. Plus a coffee nook and a second kitchen in the in-law suite with a third refrigerator.
BEDROOMS AND BATHROOMS
Nine bedrooms and seven bathrooms accommodate groups with comfort and privacy. The master suite has a king bed with premium linens, a private balcony, and an en suite bath with freestanding tub and shower. Each main-level bedroom has its own theme and balcony, and the bunk rooms have slides and play areas.
GAME ROOMS AND WELLNESS
Two game rooms with pool, shuffleboard, air hockey, and foosball, plus a hidden Mystery Room. The indoor heated pool is open year-round, heating fees apply.
OUTDOOR SPACE
The seasonal outdoor pool is open mid-May to late September, and the hot tub and sauna are available year-round. A firepit with group seating, multiple patios and lounge areas, and a sprawling lawn leave room for yoga, outdoor games, and quiet moments. A private pond sits on the grounds as a scenic feature only.
ATTENTION TO DETAIL
Cleanliness is a top priority. Premium linens and bedding for every guest, a first aid kit, paper goods, and complimentary coffee and tea.
Guest Access:
The entire property, including both pools, the sauna, hot tub, and all recreation areas, is exclusively yours. It includes high-speed WiFi, self check-in by keypad, air conditioning and heating, three sets of washers and dryers, and free on-site parking.
The Neighborhood:
This estate is tucked into the Pocono Mountains near East Stroudsburg, a wooded hideaway where you wake to tall pines, quiet views over the private pond, and birdsong instead of traffic. You are still close to small-town conveniences and mountain attractions.
Within a short drive is the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area for hiking, river views, and kayaking. Every season brings outings, from waterfall walks at Resica Falls to adventure parks and snow tubing. Downtown Stroudsburg offers independent restaurants, cafes, and outlet shopping.
Distances: Shawnee Mountain 2 miles, Mount Airy Casino 18, Camelback 19, Kalahari 24. New York City 78, Philadelphia 109.
Getting Around:
We recommend arriving by car. Your own vehicle gives you freedom to explore the Poconos at your own pace, and free on-site parking is available. Rideshare coverage here is limited.
Other Things to Note:
Important Information, Please Read Before Booking
Natural Well Water and Regional Odors
Our home is on a private well, as are many properties across Monroe County and the Poconos. You may occasionally notice a faint sulfur or rotten egg odor when running water or showering. This is normal for the region. The odor comes from naturally occurring sulfur compounds or sulfate-reducing bacteria common in well water. It is not a gas leak or an air quality issue, the water is safe for everyday use, and the plumbing has been thoroughly inspected. This is a natural characteristic of the Poconos, not a defect of the home, so occasional well-water odors are not grounds for refunds or compensation.
Occupancy and Visitors
Middle Smithfield Township regulates occupancy. Up to 14 overnight guests and up to 10 daytime visitors, for a maximum of 24 people on site during daytime hours. The home has more beds than the cap allows, and bed count does not raise the limit.
Parking
Up to 8 vehicles under township zoning. Please park only in designated areas.
Damage Protection
All guests complete a rental agreement, ID verification, and a damage protection selection through a short pre check-in link before arrival. Choose either a $1,000 refundable security deposit, a hold released about 7 business days after a damage-free checkout inspection, or a non-refundable damage waiver of $150 per night, maximum $299 per reservation, covering accidental damage beyond normal wear and tear.
Pools, Hot Tub and Sauna
The indoor pool is open year-round, the outdoor pool is seasonal from mid-May to late September, and the hot tub and sauna are available year-round. Hot tub heating is included with every stay. Children must be closely supervised around all water.
Indoor Pool Heating
Applied to your entire stay. May 1 to October 31: $150 per day. November 1 to April 30: $225 per day. This system has no remote, so a team member activates it on site before arrival.
