Surprise! We’re officially homeowners in the Poconos! 🎉
After years of dreaming about owning a cozy retreat where families can escape, relax, and create lasting memories, we finally found the perfect spot: Pocono Bear Den. Nestled in the heart of the Pocono Mountains, this charming cozy home is everything we wanted and more, and we’re so excited to share it with other families through Airbnb.
A Perfect Spot for Families to Unwind
The Pocono Bear Den immediately stood out to us because of its welcoming, homey feel. Whether you’re looking for a weekend escape or a longer stay, the space provides the perfect blend of comfort and nature.
The cabin has ample space for families to spread out, including a living area that’s perfect for movie nights or family game time by the fireplace. And let’s not forget the outdoor space—kids will love running around outside while parents relax on the deck with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine.
☕As coffee lovers ourselves, we knew we had to create a special space for fellow coffee enthusiasts at Pocono Bear Den. That’s why we designed a cozy, fully equipped coffee bar where guests can enjoy the process of making their perfect brew. Whether you prefer the simplicity of a traditional pot, the rich flavor of a pour-over, or use of the keurig our Airbnb provides it all. We want our guests to savor each cup, whether it’s to start the day with the sunrise or to unwind in the evening on the porch with a warm mug in hand.
We are so fortunate to have a brand-new, state-of-the-art swimming pool, a beautiful golf course, and private beaches—all on the property! It makes Pocono Bear Den a year-round destination for families who want a mix of relaxation and adventure, with something fun for everyone.
Why Airbnb?
We’ve always loved the personal touch of staying at Airbnbs, where you get a sense of home no matter where you are. We wanted to recreate that feeling for other families by sharing our little slice of the Poconos. Pocono Bear Den is not just a place to stay; it’s a space where families can create memories together. Whether it's cozy nights by the fire or exploring local attractions, our hope is that guests will feel as comfortable here as we do.
By choosing to list on Airbnb, we’re able to offer a flexible, family-friendly accommodation where guests can arrive, settle in, and enjoy the beauty of the Poconos on their own schedule. We’ve made sure that everything is ready to welcome families—from a well-stocked kitchen to plenty of towels and blankets for those chilly mountain nights.
🧺And speaking of blankets, we took a page out of C&O Abode’s book and purchased the coziest outdoor blankets for those chilly evenings on the porch. Whether you're stargazing or enjoying a cup of cocoa, you'll stay warm and comfortable while soaking in the beauty of the outdoors.
The Family-Friendly Perks
One of the things that drew us to this property was how effortlessly it caters to family needs. The layout of Pocono Bear Den makes it easy to keep an eye on the kids while also allowing everyone to have their own space.
The open kitchen-living area lets you prepare meals while still being part of the conversation (or watching your kids play). We’ve also stocked the home with board games, movies, and books to keep everyone entertained, no matter the weather.
Our hope is to make the property as convenient as possible for parents traveling with young kids. For example, we’ve included a pack-and-play and high chair, along with kid-friendly dinnerware. Little touches like these make a big difference when you’re traveling as a family.
The Local Experience
One of the best parts about staying at the Pocono Bear Den is how close you are to some of the Poconos’ best family activities. Just minutes from the property, you’ll find hiking trails, lakes for kayaking and swimming, and ski resorts for winter fun.
🏔️Camelback Resort’s tubing hill is a must-do winter adventure for families and friends visiting the Poconos! With multiple tubing lanes, you can glide down the snowy slopes and race your way to endless fun. After a day of thrills, warm up by the outdoor fire pits and take in the beautiful mountain views. Camelback also offers a variety of dining options, so you can enjoy a cozy meal or a hot cocoa break without leaving the fun behind. It's the perfect mix of excitement and relaxation, making for an unforgettable winter day!
And for those rainy days? There are nearby attractions like indoor water parks, arcades, and bowling alleys to keep the kids entertained.
We love visiting the local farmers markets and shops, and we can’t wait for our guests to explore everything the area has to offer. There’s truly something for everyone, whether you’re seeking outdoor adventure or just want to unwind and take in the peaceful surroundings.
A Place to Create Memories
Ultimately, our goal with Pocono Bear Den is to offer a welcoming retreat for families to enjoy quality time together, away from the distractions of everyday life. With the added amenities of the swimming pool, golf course, and private beaches, there’s even more to explore and enjoy. We hope families will come here to celebrate milestones, create traditions, and just enjoy being together in a beautiful setting.
We’re so excited to share this new journey and this home with other families. If you’re looking for a family-friendly escape that blends nature, comfort, and convenience, we’d love to welcome you to Pocono Bear Den. It’s more than a getaway—it’s a place to make lasting memories.
As a family, we love attending local holiday events and experiencing all the festive cheer the Pocono has to offer. We want to share that joy with our guests by promoting these wonderful celebrations happening right around our Airbnb. Whether you’re looking to make memories with your loved ones or discover something new, we encourage you to join in on the fun and explore the magic of the season.
