Seasonal NOTES:
Unbeatable New England Fall Foliage PEAKS IN THE POCONOS throughout October and short rides in any direction provide the vistas you can photograph to fill a hard drive, without the "hard drive"!

PERFECT for a TRANQUIL WOODSY RETREAT ANY SEASON where a small family, pair of couples or close friends can reconnect in this SURPRISING LOCATION in it's hideout along a Class A trout stream nestled at the end (cul de sac) of a small private community gravel road shared only by a few homes, historic cabins and MOTHER NATURE. And there is no comparison to a room or even two at a hotel (a FINE quality hotel)! Few homes combine the best features of the best rental homes in such a unique and memorable way; this is "the best" getaway spot (or hub home for anything NorthEast) in our opinion and of our guests and friends over many, many years!
