🌲GUEST REVIEWS🌲
❤️ “The entire home is a cozy, comfortable, beautiful vibe. We are already talking about a return visit!"
- Tish

- Heidi
❤️ "This was one of the best Airbnbs we've ever stayed at, anywhere in the world! Bonus points if you have kids, Jessica's cabin was SUPER kid-friendly and stocked with toys, books, and more that we didn't even expect!"
- Allison

Guest access
We recommend exploring the Poconos by car so you can really take advantage of everything the area has to offer! In the winter, we strongly recommend a 4-wheel or all-wheel drive vehicle for navigating our private, unpaved, gravel road.

It is possible to reach Sycamore Camp by Greyhound bus to nearby Blakeslee then taxi/Uber to the house, if you plan on having a quiet reclusive weekend.

If you're planning a night out in Lake Harmony or one of the nearby breweries or wineries, Lake Harmony Turismo offers affordable private car service.

Other things to note
Sycamore Camp is a one-of-a kind property! Just 2 minutes from all the fun and amenities of the 'town' of Lake Harmony, our house is completely private and removed from the sometimes wild-atmosphere of that vacation-centric village.

The primary renter on all reservations must by 25 years of age or older. Please respect the neighborhood and keep outside noise to a minimum after 11pm. No more than 7 guests are permitted to stay overnight. Additional overnight guests will be charged a penalty of $100 per person.

PETS: We love pets! Well-behaved and housebroken pets are welcome with a $75 per pet cleaning fee to help out our fabulous cleaning crew. You can add pets to your booking anytime by modifying your Airbnb reservation.

SMOKING: Please no smoking in the house at any time, thanks!

PARTIES: UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS NOT A PARTY HOUSE. Low-key getaways, birthday gatherings and family reunion type-things are totally okay and encouraged! Please do not use confetti or glitter at the house. Any confetti or glitter found will result in an additional cleaning charge of $100/hr as needed.

Please note: Host will send a hold harmless waiver for the primary renter to sign, per insurance requirements.

CANCELLATION FEE: All bookings are subject to Airbnb's cancellation policies.

DISCLAIMER: The owner is not responsible for any accidents, injuries or illnesses that occur while on the premises or its facilities, including use of the hot tub and fire pit. The homeowner is not responsible for the loss of personal belongings or valuables of the guest. By accepting this reservation, it is agreed that all guests are expressly assuming the risk of any harm arising from their use of the premises or others whom they invite to use the premises.

Bunk bed: The access ladder to the top bunk is on the narrow side, so we recommend that only kids or small adults plan to sleep on the top.

Neighborhood highlights

Sycamore Camp is located down a private gravel road and is completely secluded... yet it's situated only 1/4 mile from Big Boulder Ski Resort, Boulder View Tavern and the world-famous vacation area of Lake Harmony, Pennsylvania. You'll feel as though you're in the middle of nowhere, surrounded on all sides by a grove of rhododendrons & pines, but Sycamore Camp is truly in the heart of the Poconos mountains, ideally situated to enjoy northeastern Pennsylvania's famous local skiing, hiking, rafting, and waterparks!

--SKIING & WATER PARKS--
You’ll be 5 minutes from Big Boulder, less than 10 minutes from Jack Frost, and only 25 minutes from Camelback Mountain. Plus Kalahari Water Park, the largest in the US, is only 20 minutes away! Enjoy a day of adventure and then return to Sycamore Camp, your personal mountain oasis, to dine and relax with your family.

World-renowned Pocono Raceway, aka ‘The Tricky Triangle’ is only 3 miles from Heidi's 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, plus UTV tours with Pocono Mountain Adventures are a safe, very muddy thrill for anyone over age 5.

If you’re in search of more entertainment, the Mount Airy Casino and Golf resort is only 15 minutes away. Slots along with table games are plentiful at this energetic casino where, aside from gambling, you can catch concerts and other entertaining shows, plus a spa and executive golf course.

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

--Lake Harmony. Tucked into the hills of Carbon County is a vacation destination with infinite appeal. Lake Harmony’s landscape is comprised of clean glacial lakes, gently rolling hills and lush forests just begging to be explored. State parks, ski areas and sports destinations surround the town, promising action and adventure around every turn.

-Jim Thorpe. The historic town, just under 15 minutes away, features 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, window shop, enjoy great local 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 a lovely lake (nearby Austin T. Blakeslee Natural Area is minutes away) to a more rugged trail at nearby Hickory Run State Park or Tank Hollow Trail. Or drive less than a half hour and jump onto the 28-miles of Appalachian Trail within the Delaware Water Gap.

We highly recommend spending a day exploring the Bushkill Falls, one of Poconos’ loveliest locations. Open seasonally, this park contains a series of 8 waterfalls connected by wooded hiking trails and bridges.

--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. Trips with the incredible rafting outfitter, Pocono Whitewater, depart only 5 miles from Sycamore Camp in nearby Albrightsville.

--Shopping
Have a rainy day? No worries! The Crossings Premium Outlets is only 25 minutes away in Tannersville.

These are just a few of the endless highlights and activities that the Pocono Mountains offers! Ask us for suggestions, we're happy to help point you towards other options to help make your vacation time memorable.
