About the cozy chalet available: our 1,750 square foot chalet is located in the un-gated section of BBL which allows for the ease and convenience of coming and going for you and your guests. The warm and inviting floor plan captures you the moment you walk through the door and immediately makes you feel at home! The beautiful and spacious layout allows guests to relax in the living room with plenty of seating or the kitchen area with seating for 4 at the island or the 6 person table. From all angles, the fireplace (wood included) is front and center along with "Big Buck" above it! There are 4 nicely sized BR and 2 full baths with one bathroom and bedroom located on the main floor. There is a deck on the back of the house and a 2nd floor video game area for the kids with comfy bean bags. Kids love this cozy little hangout! A smart TV and DVD player are located in the living room along with a variety of DVD options. High-speed internet is included.
We are in the highest point of the Poconos so it typically stays cool in the house at night during warm weather months. While the house does not have air conditioning, there are ceiling fans in each room as well as box fans if needed. I have owned the house for over 10 years and not once did I wish I had air conditioning!
Outside, sit back and relax around the fire pit! Enjoy some s'mores and campfire stories while making memories that will last a lifetime. Or go on a little adventure and find your own sticks and wood in the area surrounding the house. On the back deck, there is a charcoal grill if you are up for BBQ'ing.
The house is located on the same street as Lake Natalie where there is a Marina and fishing options. The Gouldsboro State Park is across the street and offers great hiking options and breathtaking views. It is also a short drive to many other adventures including: Kalahari Water Park Resort, Great Wolf Lodge, Camelback Mountain Resort, Mt. Airy Casino, Montage Ski Resort, Jack Frost Mountain Resort, Pocono Raceway, Split Rock Waterpark, Arrowhead Lake, The Crossing Premium Outlet Shopping, Claws'n'Paws Wild Animal Park and so much more! Additionally, you can find grocery stores and great restaurants within 15 minutes.
Thank you for booking! We know you will have a great time relaxing, working or enjoying a little time away!
