Building a custom home in the Poconos isn’t an overnight experience. It probably comes as no surprise that you’re looking at at least a few months before you’ll be able to move in even once construction actually begins.
Of course you’ll want to check on the progress of your new home, but if you’re living elsewhere in Pennsylvania, or in New Jersey or New York you face a slight logistical problem: Where will you stay when you want to check on construction?
The good news is that you have a lot of options! If you prefer the quaint comfort of a bed and breakfast establishment, you could choose Buttermilk Falls Bed & Breakfast. This beautiful home was built in 1886 and has been offering rooms to guests since the early 1900s. Relax on the wicker porch furniture, stare out at the waterfall, do some birdwatching, or stroll down to the stream. You’ll find Buttermilk Falls Bed & Breakfast at 5231 Buttermilk Falls Road. Shawnee-on-Delaware, PA 18356 • 570-426-7440 • http://www.buttermilkfallsbnb.com .
Another delightful B&B option is The Brookview Manor Inn, nestled in the heart of the Pocono Mountains, and situated on five hill-swept acres across from the Brodhead Creek. You’ll love the serenity of this property that’s surrounded by more than 200 privately owned acres of forests. And if you enjoy sitting on the porch, the Brookview Manor has a 1,060 square foot wraparound porch with rocking chairs and what may well be the county's largest porch swing. The Brookview Manor Inn is located at 4534 Route 447 Canadensis, PA 18325 • 570-595-2451 • www.brookviewmanor.com/brookviewmanor
If you’re looking for something with a bit more adult excitement, you might want to check out Mount Airy Casino Resort. You can catch a stage show, or have a cocktail at the sophisticated poolside bar or lounge. There’s also plenty of casino action with more than 1,700 slot machines and table games on the premises. You can even get in a workout at the resort’s 24/7 fitness center, or make arrangements to be pampered at the spa and salon. The Mount Airy Casino Resort is at 312 Woodland Rd. Mount Pocono, PA 18344 • 1-877-682-4791 • www.mountairycasino.com
