Snow settles quietly across the trees, fireplaces glow as evening sets in, and a sense of discovery defines every corner of The Secret Door Sanctuary. Designed as a refined yet playful mountain retreat, this luxury 5-bedroom, 3-bath home offers an elevated Pocono experience with space to gather, unwind, and create winter memories that feel both magical and indulgent.
The heart of the home is the open-concept living area, where vaulted ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and a cozy indoor fireplace create a warm, inviting atmosphere during the colder months. Large windows frame the surrounding woods, while sliding doors lead out to an expansive wraparound deck - perfect for stepping outside into crisp mountain air or enjoying a quiet snowfall with a warm drink in hand.
Kitchen and Dining
The updated kitchen is designed for effortless entertaining and holiday cooking. Featuring butcher block countertops, sleek cabinetry, and modern appliances, it comes fully stocked with cooking essentials, a Keurig and drip coffee maker, toaster oven, blender, ice maker, and ample prep space. A spacious dining table anchors the room, ideal for shared meals, game nights, and lingering conversations after a day on the slopes.
Outdoor Living
Winter transforms the outdoor spaces into a serene, snow-covered escape. The expansive wraparound deck offers multiple seating and dining areas overlooking the forest, along with a life-size outdoor Connect Four that adds a playful touch for all ages. As evening falls, the fire pit becomes a natural gathering place for conversation and warmth. Covered deck sections allow guests to enjoy the outdoors even during light snowfall, making this space just as inviting in winter as it is in warmer months.
Entertainment and Game Room
Entertainment is thoughtfully woven throughout the home. A dedicated game room features a pool table, Big Buck Hunter arcade game, mini fridge, and a 65-inch TV. Roku streaming is available on all seven TVs throughout the house, making movie nights, sports viewing, and relaxed winter afternoons effortless. A curated collection of board games, books, and oversized games adds to the experience for guests of all ages.
Family-Friendly Design and the Secret Door
One of the home’s most memorable features is its hidden “Narnia” room, tucked discreetly behind an upstairs wardrobe. This whimsical space includes a small TV, books, games, and cozy seating - a true surprise for younger guests. The bunk room continues the magic with full bunk beds, a twin trundle, teepee play area, and private balcony. A Pack ’n Play and high chair are also provided for families traveling with little ones.
Sleeping Arrangements
The primary suite offers a king bed, private balcony, wooded views, ceiling fan, split heating and AC unit, and a 65-inch Roku TV. Additional bedrooms feature queen beds across both floors, many with deck access and forest views. Bathrooms are modernized, including a spa-style main bath with dual sinks and dual shower heads and wands. Extra sleeping is available via an Aero mattress in the primary suite.
Location and Winter Attractions
Located within the STR-friendly Penn Estates community, guests enjoy access to lakes, pools, tennis courts, and 24-7 security. The home is just minutes from Camelback and Kalahari, making skiing, snow tubing, indoor waterparks, and winter attractions easily accessible throughout the holiday season.
