About this property

Rustic Rest Log Cabin, with hot tub and trout stream, near Poconos skiing.

Come enjoy Rustic Rest, a four season Pocono Mountains retreat. Built alongside a peaceful creek in 1939, this cabin features log construction in a peaceful and pleasant wooded setting along a trout stream with a variety of recreational opportunities nearby. Relax in the new 6-person hot tub under the stars. Perfect for couples and for families, we have a fully stocked and uniquely furnished home. Pets are welcome with no additional fee. Although remote in feel, we are centrally located to East Stroudsburg, Jim Thorpe, Camelback, Shawnee, Delaware Water Gap and most attractions.

Two branches of Marshalls Creek flow through the property with over 350 feet of stream frontage. The creek has good populations of brown, brook and rainbow trout year-round. In addition, we are within a short drive from blue ribbon trout streams such as the Brodhead, Bushkill, Big Pocono, McMichaels and more.

We have three bedrooms with a double, queen and king beds and a loft overlooks the living room and offers a futon bed and a twin bed with a trundle. This space makes a wonderful reading area and/or fourth bedroom. An old time arcade machine (Space Invaders!) and Atari console are available.

The upstairs bathroom features a clawfoot bathtub.

A wood-burning fireplace in the living room and a wood-burning stove on the enclosed back porch help chase away the chill.

You can enjoy the hot tub anytime of day—and it's open year round. A towel warmer inside the back porch, just steps from the new 6-person hot tub, is available for your comfort.

Spotlights light up the Woods of Wisdom in the backyard. A flowing creek, picnic tables, fire pit, and hammock with several seating areas make spending time outdoors a delight.

We provide wood for the fireplace, wood stove and fire pit and also provide propane for the grill.

We are located right off of 209 in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, very close to waterfalls, Delaware Water Gap, skiing and many awesome attractions. Spend your entire stay at Rustic Rest or explore the area's attractions.

Safety Devices:
We have four security cameras located on the property. One faces the front walk and lower part of the driveway. One faces the garage and the upper driveway. One faces the stream on the far side of the house to monitor the water level. The last camera is in the lean-to. They will be on.

Incredible property that you won’t want to leave

My group and I had a fantastic stay at this home. Everything was exactly as advertised. The owners went the extra mile to make us feel welcome, including with a gift of local chocolates. The hot tub was definitely the highlight - we spent every night in it! I would recommend this cabin to anyone looking to stay in the East Stroudsburg area.

Well appointed - beautiful grounds

Overall we had a great stay. Lots of nice thoughtful touches like wood for the fireplaces, plenty of towels, well stocked with all the things we could need during our two night stay. Great location for access to hiking and the backyard is very scenic with the streams. We had four adults and four teen boys and the sleeping arrangements were tight. Would be ideal for three couples or a family of 6. Communication with the owners was fantastic. With the cooler weather we really enjoyed the hot tub and the three season porch with the wood burning fire.

Exceeded expectations!

We had the most delightful stay! This place is absolutely adorable, with a charming and rustic log cabin décor that creates such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The beds were so comfortable! One of the best features was the water cooler that dispenses hot water—such a game changer! I also truly appreciated all the thoughtful pet amenities, which made traveling with my furry friend so much easier. The trails winding through the yard, with hidden lawn ornaments tucked away, truly made it feel like a magical world. the creeks winding through the property added such a serene and peaceful touch—it's the perfect place to relax and reconnect with nature. Every detail was carefully curated to ensure comfort Highly recommend!

Beautiful , cozy retreat

This property is breathtaking and stunning! So peaceful and relaxing! The water, the trees, and all of the fun decor to look at. All of the rooms are decorated with such a cozy feel. So much to do in the area too. We did lots of hiking/walking at the various parks and trails. Bushkill Falls, Marshalls Creek Falls and Camp William Penn park. Great place to stay anytime of the year!

Your Own Fairytale Cottage

From the moment you pull up, you can tell a great deal of thought was put into every detail of this property. It is charming, comfortable and practical. Words, nor even really photos can describe how magical the backyard is with the meandering stream and paths. We live somewhat locally but wanted a little extra space & change of scenery for a family get-together. We are all still talking about what a lovely time we had at Rustic Rest and we would love to come back again in the future. Many thanks to our wonderful hosts!

Absolutely amazing

We had the best time spending a weekend at the rustic rest! It was cozy and just as pictured. It was clean and the beds were comfortable. The host was also very responsive through the entire process. The hot tub is large, new, and clean. Not to mention it has a great view! Some of the best hosts I have ever had the pleasure of working with, we hope to one day return! Thank you again! -Amy T.

Magical!

The photos do not do this hideaway justice. The property was so relaxing. The details were well thought out. We had a wonderful time hanging outside, wading in the creek and just taking all in. The beds were comfortable and the home was immaculate. We will definitely be back!! (Fun note try to be outside at dusk, you start to see all of the lights twinkling on)

Wonderful and cozy cabin

This was our second time visiting, rustic rest. It’s the cutest little cabin, tucked along the creek. The inside is comfortable and cozy with cute little decorations everywhere. The loft area is so much fun with games for kids to play. My son enjoyed playing the video Consoll and sleeping in the loft bedroom. Outside is so charming and cute with the creek, meandering through the backyard and all of the decoration were fun to explore. . We lit a fire every night inside and had a fire outside next to the hot tub. We were so happy that we were able to bring our golden retriever who loved being in the creek and running around the backyard. I think he had more fun than all of us.. Rustic rest is truly a magical place and we can’t wait to come back again.

Exactly what we needed, AND MORE

The property is amazing and absolutely breathtaking from the moment you arrive until you leave. The 3+ bedrooms and loft gave ample space for me and 4 of my friends. The cabin is cozy and spacious, lots of room, and several indoor activities (i personally love the SPACE INVADERS). The Hot tub provided the perfect ending after a long day skiing. And now to the garden/creek paths. I was blown away with the beautiful paths around the creek with chairs is various areas to sit and watch the running water. The attention to detail was astounding. I loved eating my breakfast outside each morning watching the creek splash by. Hands down my favorite part of the entire property. Owners were polite and communicative. Check in was a breeze. Any questions or concerns were answered promptly. And I hope to visit again in the near future.
