Laurel Run Retreat is a magical home that floats among the trees in this forest hideaway. The trickling sounds of beautiful Laurel Run Creek serenades throughout, providing a soothing natural soundscape. Decorated with works of art and filled with musical instruments. This wondrous setting is ideal for stimulating the flow of creativity, or just relaxing with friends and family.
Located in the heart of the Pocono Mountains, only 2.5 hours from NYC, six foot windows throughout the houses main floor provide a mesmerizing view of the forest and creek. Being built onto the side of the mountain, the house appears to float among the trees.
As you enter to your left you’ll come to a cozy gathering room with a baby grand piano with seating to enjoy the wood burning soap stone stove and a hearth built from the stones from the surrounding area. Or one can meditate in a wistfully swinging egg chair, peacefully do some yoga in front of the golden gong, or just have a family game night with our collection of classic board games as you feel the warmth of the fireplace.
To your right, there is a chef’s sized kitchen with a large granite island, two sinks, and abundant counter space and kitchen tools to make any specialty. Including a coffee/tea station with all the essential amenities. The island is suitable for meal prep, a casual dining table, or just hanging out for friendly conversation. The kitchen also offers a stove, dishwasher, garbage disposal, microwave, toaster, popcorn maker, griddle, blender, coffee maker, and electric water kettle.
Beyond the kitchen you'll enter the main living room and entertainment area. You’ll be able to relax and unwind on the chaise lounge, couch, or the modern circular chair in front of another row of seven foot windows looking out into the forest. Overhead two skylights bring in sunlight and offer a window to the sky and stars.
Or have movie night with the large retractable projector screen and state of the art sound bar. For your viewing pleasure you may choose from hundreds of DVDs, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu. One can also listen to music or hear the news through Echo devices located in the kitchen and bedrooms. Just say "Alexa play..."
The charming dining area is next to the living room and features an antique dining table and chairs created by a local craftsmen. The table seats seven, 4 chairs and a bench. The table is surrounded by windows that look out onto Laurel Run Creek.
As you circle around back through the hearth room, you’ll discover the office area with desk, computer, printer, and basic office supplies. Seated in the comfy high-back office chair, your video meeting background can be a stunning forest view. Camera lights are available if you wish to present a more polished image for your online meetings. Also in the office, you can enjoy some vinyl with a turnable and old fashioned hi-fi stereo system.
For your reading pleasure the office bookshelves are filled with both classic and modern fiction, as well as books on the arts, history, philosophy, children's books, and poetry.
This is a musical home with many little instruments, if you feel moved we welcome you to play and discover these sounds including a collection of singing bowls. Musical instruments include the baby grand piano, an electronic drum kit, Farfisa and Hammond organs, an acoustic guitar, and lots of fun and exotic percussion instruments. We ask that guests treat all musical instruments with love and care. Off of the office is a full bathroom with shower and Bedroom 3, which is a stylish room with deep blue walls and and vivid yellow night stands. The room features a uniquely designed bed and a comfortable wooden rocking chair to enjoy the idyllic mountain view. The room also leads to the upper deck, where one can enjoy the teak wood sitting table and listen to the cascading stream and falls and perhaps catch a glimpse of some forest creatures.
Upstairs a barn door leads to the master bedroom, a serene space with rustic country windows to enjoy perched forest views. The room features a 65-inch widescreen TV, DVD payer, and air conditioning unit.
From there is a stylish bathroom with a full shower and tub.
The second bedroom is perfect for kids with a 3-bed bunk bed, (full bottom, twin bunk, twin trundle). There are books, toys, games, and a fun playroom closet. The natural light into this room is from the skylights and wall window that looks down into the main living room area. The room is brought to life with a fun, wall-sized painting of colorful flowers, and a pretty, lotus flower wall light that radiates beguiling blue rays of lights.
There is also a virtual reality headset that provides fascinating games for both kids and adults.
Outside the front door and down the stairs to the pathway along the side of the house, to take in the outdoors. You’ll get even closer to the creek where you can sit on the wooden swing or yard furniture as you bask in the smells and sounds of the forest and the rush of the cascading creek and min-falls flowing by. There is also a fire pit and wood to make s'mores, relax, and share a story or two.
You will also have access to the lower deck with gas Bar-B-Que grill and picnic table to dine al fresco.
The property is kept cool and comfortable throughout the summer thanks to the abundant tree coverage, cool mountain breezes, and the proximity to the creek. When temperatures get really hot, there are air conditioning units on the 2nd and third floors, as well as portable fans.
This is a special place to create memories with family and friends and visit some of the many surrounding sites and places that make the Pocono Mountains special. And filled with as much or little to do as you’d like, we hope you’ll come away after a visit as relaxed and renewed as we do here.
The area is filled with things to do and sights to see.
Located in Canadensis, this vacation home is in a rural area and near theme parks. Camelback Mountain Adventures is worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's popular attractions can visit Kalahari and Great Wolf Lodge Water Park. Traveling with kids? Consider Summit Lanes and House Of Candles. Kayaking and motor boating offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with mountain biking and hiking nearby.
