Description Minutes to the slopes and a short walk to the lake beach - Poplar Cottage is a clean, modern 3 bed/2 bath with luxury furnishings and a thoughtful, timeless design that encourages total relaxation.
★ "This place is amazing!" ★ "Definitely worth the booking!"
» 5 min drive to Lake Harmony » 6 min drive to Pocono Raceway » 8 min drive to Big Boulder ski resort The Space ★ "There were so many nice and thoughtful touches everywhere. It will be more than you expect. Great Hosts and location too!" At Poplar Cottage, every aspect of your stay has been designed to encourage relaxation, recovery, and reconnection. Throughout the home, you’ll feel inspired by furnishings from luxury brands such as West Elm, Crate & Barrel, Pottery Barn, Grandin Road, and Restoration Hardware. The fully equipped kitchen, with GE and Smeg appliances, allows you to create a home-cooked (or grilled!) meal to enjoy either at the large dining table or outdoor Polywood table. Grab a book from our shelf and cozy up by the fireplace, connect to the Sonos speakers and fill the house with music, or head up to the loft to game on the retro console. In the evening, gather around the fire pit to craft s'mores using the Solo Stove or warm up by the chiminea. When you're ready to relax, stream your favorite shows on one of the many smart TVs throughout the Cottage. And when you are ready to venture out, we highly recommend a walk around the community lake or a quick drive to one of the many nearby Poconos attractions.

Beautifully decorated cozy cottage
We were impressed with the high end furnishings in this Pocono rental. The beds were very comfortable and so was the living room furniture. I loved pushing a button to turn on the fireplace, which immediately heated up the room.

Clean, Easy, Pretty and Convenient stay
We loved our weekend getaway to go skiing. The house was super neat, clean and had everything we needed. A fully stocked kitchen with tea, coffee, smores kit and more. The kitchen was stocked with all new dishes, utensils and cook ware. Everything was brand new, lovely furnished and ascetically beautiful (seriously, I loved the kitchen, kids rooms and the continuity of green throughout the home). Communication was easy. had the right frequency. The house was only 5-10 minutes to Big Boulder, so it was super convenient. We will definitely be coming back next winter!
