5BR Tranquilla Villa: Hot Tub, Game & Movie Rooms, Fire Pit, Near Kalahari.

Welcome to Tranquilla Villa, a 5-bedroom, 3-bath retreat in the Pocono woods with room for 14 and plenty of space to spread out.

Spend your days on the bi-level deck. Fire up the 5-burner propane grill or the charcoal grill and dine on the upper deck by the patio heater, then head down to soak in the 7-person hot tub and gather around the fire pit while deer wander through the trees. The hot tub is open year-round, and on a snowy night it's pure magic.

Inside, the bright, open main level is made for cooking and catching up, with a fully stocked kitchen and a long dining table that seats the whole crew. When evening comes, the lower level is where the fun happens: a game room with pool, poker and chess tables, and a movie room with a bar, karaoke and a cozy electric fireplace. There are more fireplaces in the living room and main bedroom.

Little ones are covered too, with a crib, high chair, kids' dishes, toys and a swing set in the front yard. Every room has its own thermostat, and fast Wi-Fi (about 979 Mbps) keeps everyone connected.

The house sits on a quiet street in a private gated community surrounded by wild forest land. In summer, enjoy the community pools, beach and lake with kayaks and pedal boats (the HOA charges an amenity fee of $12 per person per day, paid directly to them). Nature lovers can head to Tobyhanna State Park, about 15 minutes away, or Promised Land and Hickory Run State Parks for fishing, hiking, swimming and boating. Kalahari and Great Wolf Lodge are about 25 minutes away, Camelback about 30, and Mount Airy Casino about 20.

The area has a few local farmers markets and butchers, cozy restaurants and pubs, and outlet shopping at The Crossings about 25 minutes away. We share our own local guide with every guest, full of our favorite spots for each season.

Easy arrival: send us your guest names and car info at least 48 hours ahead and we'll pre-register you, so you can drive straight through the gate by the house. Self check-in with a keypad, and parking for up to 6 cars.

We can't wait to welcome you!
