Timber framed cabin nestled in the Pocono Mountains on a private 400 acre estate

Escape to the beauty of nature! You may never have stayed in cabins quite like ours. Hand built by the owner with wood from the land, they are an unmatched combination of comfort and charm. Overlooking a beautiful brook and mountain view, with trails to the Lehigh River Gorge, the setting offers tranquil scenery and sounds. Come and enjoy the best of nature amongst cozy amenities and great outdoor adventure.

Our luxurious rustic cabins offer 3BR, 2 baths (one with a clawfoot tub. The sound of the brook can be heard as you soak peacefully), with spacious open ceilings and skylights. It can comfortably house up to seven, although if you are only two, you will still find it cozy. Covered porches and balconies, on both levels, provide a spectacular treetop view of the brook, pond, and surrounding nature. Fern Cabin is decorated with unique and rare root furniture, fireplace, fully equipped kitchen, and prepared with fresh bed linens and towels. Primary suite contains a king sized bed; other bedroom has a queen, and a bunk bed room featuring a full bottom and twin top in a private room with bathroom. The cabin is stocked with board games and game room for fun family evenings. You will feel warm and welcomed the moment you step through our door.

Enjoy hiking to our 50 ft waterfall and the Lehigh River. You can fish our pond; swim in a spring fed swimming pond, or just relax in breathtaking silence. For the more adventurous (or to just relax and float around) there are tubes and paddle boats to use in our natural spring fed swimming pond. Your private bonfire area, supplied with wood, will be ready for evening s'more roasting and stargazing (no light pollution, you can see the Milky Way!) Endless activities are available no matter what the season.
** ice skate on the pond when conditions permit!

Hike & cross country ski to your heart’s content. Miles of private trails run along the brook through the woods and mountains. The scenery is beautiful and nature abounds. You will find the terrain appropriate for all ages.

Beautiful Property
We were lucky enough to arrive to blanket of snow and had snow fall our first night BEAUTIFUL. Tom made sure we had dry fire wood and delicious farm fresh eggs. We hiked miles on both the property and the state park. The trek down the cliff to see the waterfall was worth the effort. Very quiet and peaceful property.

Cozy weekend
We had a really fun weekend at the cabin with the family and my parents. The bedrooms were perfect sized and the cabin was rustic and beautiful. We enjoyed fishing at the lakes and walking to the waterfall. Plenty to do and loved being escorted around by the friendly ducks.

Upscale cabin in beautiful Poconos setting
Cabin was clean and comfortable and well equipped for a weekend stay. Welcomed to the cabin by Major Tom who was helpful and gave good advice on things to do. Nice natural areas to walk or bike from the cabin; scenic territory to drive around; lots of stars visible at night; satellite TV available; internet almost nonexistent so don't plan to work there; we were concerned about using the unvented fireplace but at least there were CO monitors and some electric heaters in bedrooms; bring some ground or instant coffee if you are a coffee drinker; no stores nearby (have to go to White Haven) so do your shopping before arrival. Friendly ducks outside, saw some large turkeys too. Overall, a great place to relax for a few days, private and peaceful.

We only stayed at this amazing property for a weekend, but it was exactly what we needed. We stayed in the Fern Lodge. It was beautiful and the property was full of places to hike and explore. They even have the cutest ducks that you can feed right out of your hand!! It was so relaxing... really the perfect getaway. Our host was great... so friendly and knowledgeable. Also very accessible for any and all of our needs. He even gave us fresh eggs from his chickens for our breakfast. Delicious!! We fell in love with this place... it really felt like a home away from home. We were all sad to leave, but we will def be going back to visit again!!

We had a wonderful and memorable stay. If you enjoy the quiet wonder of nature with a personal touch from Major Tom, then this is the vacation for you. We travelled with two small boys and as family we enjoyed hiking on the property, feeding the ducks (Major tom made sure kids had food each day), discovering waterfalls and making bonfire every night. Once you arrive at the cabin, you have everything you need and don't want to leave. The view from both cabin is the best. Best part having your morning coffee on the balcony with brook running in background. It's been the best and most relaxing vacation we had in last eight years. We didn't feel the need for internet or technology nor our children. Disconnected from reality and truly recharged, enjoyed our children, our friends and this little paradise. We have enjoyed table games they have. Major Tom's personal touch made a huge difference, constant check in to ensure we have everything we need, from wood, duck food and answered all the questions we may had bout the area- made us feel like home away from home. We enjoyed his company and goodies what he brought for our boys. Thank you for a special welcome to our veterans from our group. Thanks again Major Tom, you made us feel so welcome, that personal touch is what made our stay so wonderful. Sincerely, the Davids
