The Pennsylvania range which borders New York and New Jersey is less than three hours away from Manhattan by car and dotted with scenic sightseeing destinations such as the Delaware River, Lake Harmony, the namesake Mount Pocono and Pocono Lake, and Lehigh Gorge State Park. Not only is this Pennsylvania hotspot big on outdoor adventure, but it also appeals to travelers seeking a cozy log cabin rental or lake house in the prime of leaf peeping season.Whether you’re looking to stay in the heart of the Poconos or within driving distance of a day trip or two, we assembled a curated assortment of well-designed Airbnb vacation rentals that will more than meet the moment for a long weekend escape.Modern Lake Retreat in Narrowsburg, New YorkPerks: Private lake, private outdoor area, washer and dryer, indoor fireplace, outdoor firepit, security system, free parkingAt this modern Poconos retreat, light filters in through sizable sliding glass doors, shining a spotlight on the neutral, open concept layout that allows you to seamlessly pass through the property’s interiors and exteriors. An LZF Swirl light pendant anchors the main living area, where the family room flows into the dining area and fully equipped kitchen, complete with a dishwasher and coffee maker. While both the primary and secondary suites live on the main level, an ascending staircase leads you up to a dedicated workspace and additional sleeping accommodations courtesy of a sleeper sofa. Outside, dense foliage surrounds the property with 360-degree nature views, while hiking trails and a private lake are just steps away.

With room for up to eight guests across bunk beds, ensuite bedrooms, and sleeper sofas, the rental is especially well-suited to larger families.
