Good to know

Welcome to Grotto Grove – A Peaceful Nature Retreat Our home is the perfect escape for friends and families seeking rest and reconnection. While we love animals, pets are not allowed as we maintain a hypoallergenic environment. Enter Grotto Grove through a fully stocked kitchen. To your right is a convenient powder room; to the left, a semi-open floor plan leads to the living room, where a panoramic window offers breathtaking winter sunsets and lush green views in summer. A dividing wall separates the living and dining areas, with a cozy corner bar—ideal for hosting an intimate dinner or enjoying board games and puzzles. Down the hall, you’ll find a full bathroom and two bedrooms. The smaller bedroom features a queen bed, ample natural light, and a dedicated workspace—perfect for remote work. Across the hall, the master bedroom was once a 1950s sunroom and now boasts a king bed, a second workspace, and a wood-burning fireplace for cozy winter nights. The basement is used for storage but can be unlocked upon request if you need access to the washer and dryer. Outdoors, enjoy the evolving landscape that tells a story through time. The original owner in the 1960s laid the foundation, and the second owner—a skilled landscaper—introduced whimsical hardscaping elements that gave the property its peaceful charm. The current owner (that’s us) have continued the vision by clearing a front yard, adding a hardscaped firepit area, and working to cultivate wildflower gardens and a pollinator-friendly environment. You’ll find peonies, ferns, hostas, hellebores, and more woven throughout the property. We’ve also added a grill for summer cookouts, a set of rocking chairs and umbrellas out front for slow mornings or sunset evenings, and a quiet table for two tucked behind the house—perfect for intimate conversations under the trees. A Note About Nature Grotto Grove is truly a nature lover’s paradise. Expect to see deer, birds, foxes, the occasional bear, and of course, insects. While we take every measure to keep pests outside, you may encounter spiders, bees, moths, and mosquitoes. If you’re highly sensitive to nature’s critters, this may not be the ideal spot for you. Child Policy Please note: the house is not child-proof and is not suitable for toddlers or infants. Children over the age of 10 are welcome.

Other Details to Note

Neighborhood

The closest neighborhood is conveniently located 2 miles from the town of Canadensis but because of the private driveway and 6 acres it feels as if you are miles removed from it all. The neighborhood has access to everything you will need for your stay and details are included in the welcome packet we provide after confirmation of your booking. We are centered in the middle of the Pocono Mountains for those looking for a livelier vacation. Enjoy all your favorite seasonal activities, including skiing, ice skating, hiking, zip lining, fishing, pumpkin picking, apple picking, horseback riding, river tubing, swimming, and white water rafting to name a few. Food connoisseurs and beer snobs alike can enjoy the various eateries and breweries which we outline for your convenience in our welcome packet. We are also local to the Skytop Lodge, Mount Airy Casino, renowned golf courses, shooting ranges, the Pocono Outlets, and a number of hot spots for antiquing. The best part? You can take advantage of all these opportunities in a 20 min drive or less.

Such an incredible spot. What a scenic and secluded and beautiful location, but also somehow close to town. We loved the fire pit and all the books and the record player was a cool touch!

We had an amazing stay at Grotto Grove this weekend! The house was exceptionally decorated and offered the perfect little getaway we were looking for! The property was located close by to everything we wanted to visit and had enough amenities to make staying in just as enjoyable. From the beautiful landscaping to the cozy in-house offerings, this was definitely a fantastic stay!

We had such an amazing weekend at Grotto Grove. Peaceful, quiet, and a beautiful space right in the middle of the woods. Just what we were looking for! The hosts were very sweet and were proactive with making sure we had everything we needed. Thanks so much for lending us your lovely home! 💕

One of the most perfect stays I’ve ever had! The house itself is on a large, private and gorgeously gardened property. The first thing you notice when you walk in is how pristine everything is. I was immediately overcome with relief that I had chosen not just a good Airbnb, but the best Airbnb in the area. There are plants in every room, the most eclectic and fabulous selection of records, an abundance of games and puzzles, and of course the most gorgeous views to find while peering out of the living room window. We were sad to leave, but so thrilled to have found a home away from home just 1.5 hours away from where we live in Northern NJ. We will we back!!

The place was just what we needed. It was quiet and so peaceful but we weren’t that far from things to do. The picture window in the living room was awesome. We enjoyed watching the birds at the feeders and just looking out at the property. We would definitely like to plan another stay at the property. Such a wonderful property! Thank you for allowing us to stay.

Me and my fiancé love this Airbnb! This is our second time staying here and it was just as fabulous as the first. Super secluded area, beautiful views of the trees, and we even had deer walking outside our door! We highly recommend! 😊

Our stay was complicated by a surprise winter storm, but Marcus & Marissa went above and beyond in their communication and flexibility. The surrounding nature was lovely— no visible neighbors, so you really feel that you’re in the woods— and the large picture window in the living room is an attraction in itself. The house js incredibly thoughtfully equipped, right down to phone chargers on each side of the bed. I highly recommend staying here, and we hope to come back in nicer weather!
