September Escapes: Why Empty Nesters Love Poconos Cabins Once School Is Back in Session

September is one of the best times for empty nesters to visit the Pocono Mountains. Cooler temperatures, fewer crowds, early fall color, and peaceful hiking trails create the perfect setting for couples looking to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy nature. Babbling Brook Cottages offers cozy, private cabins near waterfalls, scenic trails, and charming small towns—making it an ideal September escape for couples who value quiet, comfort, and meaningful experiences.

When the Kids Go Back to School, It’s Your Turn to Escape

Summer’s rush has slowed, school buses are back on the road, and the sound of silence has never sounded so good. September is the sweet spot—a hidden season just for you. At Babbling Brook Cottages, we believe getaways should feel like a deep exhale. And now that the summer travelers have headed home and the kids are back in class, it’s your time to breathe.

Imagine your relaxing escape in a Poconos cabin…

You wake up to cool morning air drifting in through your window. A cozy blanket, a fresh cup of coffee, and the sound of the birds just outside. No alarms. No schedules. No crowds.

Just you, your partner, and the gentle rustle of leaves beginning to turn.
