You can re-kindle and invigorate YOUR relationships in the simplicity and beauty without sacrificing comfort or hauling firewood. You can even COMPLETELY DISCONNECT, or remain FULLY CONNECTED via house wifi/internet: A unique experience where the dominant sound is the babbling of the renowned Bushkill Creek.

NO WORRIES! We provide SERIOUSLY COMFORTABLE QUEEN BEDS clean fresh and made ready for your arrival with quality pillows and linens, as well as fine bath towels (SEE REVIEWS!) *NOTE: we have added a new COMFORTABLE queen size sleeper sofa in Living Room.
Use this thoughtfully prepared home as a comfortable private fully prepared home site by-the-creek, and as a hub to the wonderful Poconos and areas Northeast! Skiing is still full swing and only minutes away at SHAWNEE and nearby Camelback, and more (EASY!).
If you are up for it (weather/season permitting), lighting A CAMPFIRE BY THE CREEK is a classic and the 'READY-TO-GO' fire we prepare for you is a touch our guests love, with FREE well-seasoned already split FIREWOOD INCLUDED! Add the sounds of riffling water, and THE PRECIOUS MOMENTS ARE YOURS FOREVER!
When the WEATHER sends you INDOORS light up the other ready-to-go fire in the GLASS FRONT WOOD STOVE and warm up the old fashioned way. Remember, we provide plenty of split well-seasoned crackly firewood for a daily fire, ready for you without the wood hustles or hassles. Or, use the NEW split-unit HVAC to just 'throw the switch' and comfort you in the modern way, and with a thermostat in each area so everyone stays comfortable and happy. TURN IT UP- BE AS WARM AND DRY AS YOU LIKE!

HIKERS can use formal and informal trails that offer a lifetime of opportunities, many well supported on maps and apps- the rest up to you!
And If you love WATERFALLS you can explore some each time you come, such as Bushkill Falls on a developed walkway (fee), and along the roadways and other formal hikes, or make your own way along the many tributaries that fill the extensive watershed!
WORK OR ATTEND SCHOOL REMOTELY (or not!) while taking a major break from the routine. We have the WIFI connections for services that meet the needs of remote working professionals, school students and gamers alike. Imagine getting the necessary regular remote work accomplished but this time amid the views and bustling sounds of the creek as an Eagle flies by, or even roosts in your window view (see photos!)... Sit on the elevated deck or stroll outside with morning coffee. Enjoy the actual benefits of nature as it rejuvenates; research continues to prove medical and other benefits such as stress reduction (cortisol) which improves "immediately upon immersion in nature," and that's a fact! Relaxation begins with your choice to book here, and keeps getting better as you arrive and just be here!
Truly rest heart, soul, mind and body!
We perform EXTENSIVE CLEANING of all contact surfaces with meticulous allergen removal and "every time" protocols for appliances, furniture and well, everything! And our state of the art OVERSIZED capacity hygienic washer/dryer can actually handle the big fluffy stuff including the oversized bedding, shams, blankets and throws! Leave the worry out of the adventure when it comes to these fine details!
So make plans, or no plans at all! Play games, rest or watch movies. Enjoy your streaming services or watch ours: commercial free DISNEY+ HULU & ESPN plus CABLE TV on one of 3 flat screen TV's (FREE cable living room TV; each w/ WIFI capability + HDMI ports for GAMING etc.. Bring a DVD (regular/blue/4K) or watch one from our library. Or, keep the screen black and just enjoy the peace and quiet!
We will gladly share our 50+ years experience in this area as we enjoy communication with our guests to build excellent experiences!

The Creekside cottage was immaculate, cozy and welcoming. Everything needed for a relaxing stay was provided. Hosts were very accessible and information regarding the property was provided in a detailed notebook. This is a wonderful place to unwind and get away from your everday craziness. We will definitely return.
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
This was my very first VRBO experience and there's nothing that could have made my stay better. The house is clean, well stocked and on a parcel of land that's just beautiful. The sounds of the creek mix perfectly with the sound of the wind and the leaves rustling. We did have some deer visitations.Thank you to our hosts Dan amd Jen. You've set a pretty high bar for our next experience!
10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
House was clean and comfortable. Quiet area, creek was great, far enough in the woods/mountains to escape and close enough to town if you need anything
10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
We have stayed here three times, it’s our go to place to “disconnect” and unwind from the stresses of work and life. The dogs love playing in the stream, plenty of nature trails in the area or you can do Nothing at all and just listen to the water. Place is always clean, Jen and Dan are great hosts everything we needed was ready for us. No other place like this, believe me I looked.Joe, Gini, Nick, and our dogs, Sam and Luna all thank you for the cabin.
