Poconos Getaway

Nearly a century ago, families came to the Pocono Mountains to escape the cities, camp beside the waterfalls, and spend weeks in the woods near what is now George W. Childs Park. This is the story of how Babbling Brook Cottages became part of that original Pocono escape tradition, and why places like this are becoming harder to find.

Most people look for a weekend. But some of the most memorable stays happen midweek, when the pace softens, the trails feel quieter, and time begins to open up in a different way. This is what a midweek cabin stay at Babbling Brook Cottages actually feels like.

Not every cabin stay creates connection. This one is designed to. A quiet, unhurried escape where time slows down and you find your way back to each other.

First-time guests often arrive with a plan. What they don’t expect is how quickly they slow down, settle in, and start experiencing something different.

Midweek stays offer something weekends often can’t—space, quiet, and a slower rhythm. Just a short drive from NYC and Philadelphia, Babbling Brook Cottages sits within the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, where the pace softens and the days feel more your own.
