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.

We loved our stay at Marcus and Marissa’s place! Tucked away in the woods, it was the peaceful, secluded escape we were hoping for—we couldn’t hear or see any neighbors the entire time. The cabin is beautifully decorated with mid-century modern furniture and thoughtful artistic touches. It was clean, well-stocked with kitchen supplies, and we especially enjoyed cooking on the grill. The beds were very comfortable, and plenty of towels and linens were provided. There was so much to enjoy both indoors (records, books, games, fireplaces, TV) and outdoors (hiking trails, cozy spots for morning coffee, a beautifully curated yard). Plus, the location is great for exploring nearby small towns with antique shops, bakeries, and other activities. Check-in was simple, and Marcus and Marissa were wonderful hosts—welcoming and easy to communicate with. We came looking for a forest oasis, and we found it. We can’t wait to come back!

If you are looking for a peaceful, private setting, this is it. Beautiful property and cute house. There are nice touches all over the home to make your stay more comfortable. Nicely done rental. No frills. Just quiet and restful.

My wife and I were looking for a last minute getaway to just relax and this property is perfect for that. Marcus was very accommodating even though we booked the same day. The house and property are very well kept and easy to settle into. Marcus was spot on with his food recommendation as well. We are looking forward to staying here again in the future.

Pleasant stay at Marcus's place. It's a plus that you can actually use the wood stove and fireplace. It's also separate enough from any surrounding houses that it feels private. Lots of bird feeders and birds which was nice. Marcus was easy to deal with and understanding.

Location

There is a Martz bus that commutes regularly located 15 miles from our house for family or friends that need to get to and from the area however someone in the group would need a car to get around comfortably.
