Hello BP, 

Today I want to talk about everything Pocono attractions.  The Pocono Mountains are for adventure seekers, nature enthusiasts, and folks who want to enjoy some time with friends and family (or alone) in a quiet, peaceful place.   When it comes to short-term rentals in this vacation destination, proximity to popular attractions is key.  In this blog post, we'll explore the must-visit hotspots that guests want to be near. 

Ski Resorts:

  • Jack Frost/Big Boulder: Located in Blakeslee just a couple minutes from well-known Lake Harmony. 
  • Camelback: Camelback is located in Tannersville, just a couple minutes from the Tannersville Crossings shopping outlets.
  • Blue Mountain and Elk Mountain:   Blue Mountain is a bit further, about 45 minutes south of Mt. Pocono, and Elk is closer to one hour north. 

Family Friendly parks:

  • Kalahari, Camelback, and Great Wolf Lodge: Three massive and fully indoor waterparks open year-round for family fun. 

Entertainment and Leisure:

Mt. Airy Casino: Try your luck at table games or slots ( Or stick to renting Airbnb's :/ )  Also offering Pool, Spa, Dining, and Golf.

Pocono Racetrack: Located in the Long Pond area, there are always events going on besides just racing.  Air shows, and even a music festival hosted there invites over 18,000 each year. 

Nature escapes and outdoor activities:

Bushkill Falls Waterfall Hike: Explore the natural beauty of the Pocono Mountains waterfall hike. 

Skydiving, White Water Rafting, Horseback Riding. Thrill seekers, where are you??

Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area

Francis E. Walter Dam: White Haven Area 

Restaurants and Bars:

Barley Creek Brewing co: Two locations Tap room @Tannersville outlets and main location featuring outside beer garden with pickle ball, fire pits and more!

Jubilee: Located just outside of prestigious Lake Naomi, come on wing night for a sweet surprise! 

Shopping: 

Tannersville Crossing Premium outlets: over 100 brand-name stores

      Choosing a short-term rental strategically located near these attractions ensures that visitors can make the most of their time in the Pocono Mountains. More importantly ensures that visitors choose your home over others when it comes to booking.  Whether it's the thrill of skiing, the joy of water parks, or the tranquility of nature hikes, being close to these attractions enhances the overall experience for your guest when they stay at your Short Term Rental home.

Thanks for Reading BP.
