Family Favorite Poconos 5BR Retreat w/ Hot Tub + Game Arcade + Kid's Playroom
Welcome to Boulder Run, an elevated Poconos family retreat located minutes from Kalahari, Great Wolf, and Camelback designed for the kind of family trip where everyone gets their own version of a perfect day. Imagine: tournament nights in your own private arcade, kids posted up in their own dedicated play zone, hot tub soaks under the stars, and sunset s’mores by the fire pit. Inside: a fully stocked chef’s kitchen with coffee bar, two living rooms, and five bedrooms allow for effortless group stays. This is Poconos hospitality done right: stylish, curated, unforgettable.
Life at Boulder Run naturally splits into “gather” and “play” in the best way. Upstairs is the main social level, with vaulted ceilings, an open living and dining space that comfortably seats 10, and sliding doors that spill onto an oversized deck with seating for 8 made for long meals and slow mornings.
The fully stocked chef-ready kitchen is the hub of the house, anchored by a U-shaped counter that invites everyone to cook together, snack, and linger, with a coffee bar to start the day right. Two king bedrooms and a full bath sit on this level, giving couples and grandparents a quiet, convenient retreat close to the main gathering space.
Downstairs is where Boulder Run becomes a true family HQ. A second living room with a 70-inch ultra-HD smart TV, cozy gas fireplace, and game table creates a separate lounge for movie nights, cards, and relaxed conversation.
Nearby, the kids play area is intentionally set up so little ones can stay busy while adults can still be present, with a mix of sensory toys and busy boards, STEM puzzles and building sets, and a mini library of classic children’s books, plus seating that makes it comfortable for parents to supervise without hovering.
Then comes the signature feature guests talk about most: your private, guest-favorite arcade room with a retro cabinet loaded with 40,000+ games, Transformers: Human Alliance, Jurassic Park, Mario Kart, kid-friendly basketball and soccer games, and mini air hockey, plus a side door for easy access from the driveway.
The downstairs sleeping wing is a major reason Boulder Run works so well for larger groups, offering a quieter retreat away from the main gathering spaces. This level includes a king bedroom, a bedroom with two queens, and an additional queen bedroom, all set up with the same high-comfort standard, including quality hypoallergenic linens, convenient bedside charging ports, closets, and thoughtful unpacking touches that make longer stays feel easy. A full bathroom serves the sleeping area with a spacious vanity, tub, and stocked shower essentials including family-friendly items, plus a convenient half bath off the living room for smooth group flow. For extended stays and big crews, the dual washer and dryer downstairs is a true quality-of-life upgrade that keeps everything running clean and effortless.
Outside, evenings settle into the Poconos rhythm. Soak in the 6 person hot tub, grill and dine on the deck, then end the night where most groups do: around the fire pit in Adirondack chairs, trading stories and making s’mores under clear, starry skies. Kids stay entertained, teens stay engaged, and adults finally get to unwind.
Guests consistently mention how clean, thoughtfully stocked, and easy the home feels, from bedside chargers to baby gears and family essentials to fast Starlink internet that makes streaming and remote work simple.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker. Housekeeping is available on request.
