GUEST REVIEWS

❤️ "Our second stay at Chestnut Tree Lodge has made us even bigger fans of this host! Jessica is helpful and communicative, and yet never comes across as intrusive. And the house itself has a fun, colorful, eclectic decor that we absolutely loved. If you’re considering this place— it’s time to cross off every other option on your list. This is the one!"

-Rebecca



❤️ "Wonderful place! Kids LOVED it! The entire downstairs was made for kids. It had tons of games and fun things to occupy them. It was cozy and clean, and the host was responsive and easy to communicate with. The property was private, beautiful, woodsy yet easy to find. It was a short drive to great things to do in nature. I highly recommend!"

-Philip



❤️ "Beautiful and peaceful property, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The place truly feels like a home away from home, with cozy, comfortable spaces and thoughtful touches throughout. There’s something for everyone here—from the youngest to the oldest, the amenities provided were fantastic, making it easy to relax and have fun."

-Joel



Guest Access:

You'll have access to the entire home and grassy 1-acre yard, plus there's a lot to explore right outside in the woods and protected 17,000 acre nature preserve adjacent to the house.



The Neighborhood:

Chestnut Tree Lodge is located in Hickory Run Forest, a lightly-populated and sleepy mountain community in the heart of the Poconos mountains, 5 minutes from Albrightsville, PA. The house feels isolated once you're there, but you're ideally situated to enjoy northeastern Pennsylvania's famous local skiing, hiking, tubing, and waterparks!



--SKIING & WATER PARKS--

You’ll be 15 minutes from Jack Frost and Big Boulder Mountains, and less than 30 minutes from Camelback Mountain. Plus Kalahari Water Park, the largest in the US, is only 30 minutes away! Enjoy a day of adventure and then return to Chestnut Tree Lodge, your personal mountain oasis, to dine and relax with your family.



World-renowned Pocono Raceway, aka ‘The Tricky Triangle’ is only 10 miles from Chestnut Tree Lodge. You’re only minutes away from world-class racing excitement! On non-race weekends, speed enthusiasts can get a taste of the action with a thrilling Stock Car Racing Experience and behind-the-scenes track tours.



If you’re in search of more outdoor adrenaline-pumping entertainment, world-famous Skirmish Paintball is only 10 minutes away in nearby Albrightsville, PA.



The Poconos is truly a four-season destination and there’s always something new to explore! Other local attractions include:



-Jim Thorpe. The historic Victorian mountain town known as 'Little Switzerland of the USA' is just 15 minutes away. It features excellent dining and drinking options, plus the Mauch Chunk Museum and Cultural Center which details coal mining history and the life of the town's namesake, Native American athlete Jim Thorpe. Stroll the quaint Main Street and enjoy great local cafes, restaurants and shopping. Plus, Jim Thorpe has become a big tourist destination thanks to their popular festival weekends, celebrating various holidays, the arts and seasonal highlights.



-Lake Harmony. A vacation destination for generations, where you can rent a boat for the day or find popular brunch and dinner restaurants. We highly recommend grabbing a drink and a bite one of the casual waterside restaurants!



--Hiking –

Enjoy the fresh air and abundant trails! The Poconos offers hiking experiences for those with any level of fitness or ability, from a short stroll around Weiser State Forest (tucked 100% within our community, only 5 mins away from the house!), a lovely lake (nearby Austin T. Blakeslee Natural Area is a short drive) to a more rugged trail at nearby Tank Hollow or Hickory Run State Park. And many more that you can discover on the very thorough AllTrails app!



We highly recommend spending a day exploring Hickory Run State Park, which offers a lovely lake with a sandy beach and the unique Boulder Field.



--Rafting

The Poconos is well-known for its world class whitewater! Enjoy dam-release weekends on the Lehigh River for extra thrills, or choose a calmer rafting experience that's fine for family members ages 4 to 94.



--Shopping

Have a rainy day? No worries! The Crossings Premium Outlets is only 25 minutes away in Tannersville. Or wander around the charming Poconos' towns of Jim Thorpe or Stroudsburg. Kids love the Electric City Aquarium in Scranton, an easy 40 minutes away.
