Many of us tend to work too hard and never play hard enough, even taking our vacations in two- or three-day shifts at a time, but did you know that studies show that the ideal vacation length is eight days? That’s how long it takes for our brains to get out of work mode, into vacation mode, and for our vacation happiness to reach its peak! After the 8th day, travelers can begin to feel the need to get back to real life, unable to put off thinking about what lies in wait for us back at the office, and our happiness levels drop. And because we think the science of vacation is important, these Sunday to Sunday Poconos weekly rentals offered through Pocono Mountain Rentals are designed to ensure an easy transition on both ends of your getaway!

You can also stay connected to your travel companions without feeling pressed for space. Floor-to-ceiling windows invite that warm Poconos sunshine to fill the room and warm the space. Windows also do a great job at showcasing the stunning natural views on the property. The portrait of nature right outside your window will stop you in your tracks and remind you that you’re on vacation, so breathe easy. During your stay at our Sunday to Sunday rentals, you’ll also enjoy the benefits of having your own private patio and deck area. Step outside into the fresh mountain air whenever you desire.

End the day with a glass of wine under the starry night sky next to the crackling glow of a fire, thanks to outdoor firepits and fireplaces. A stay at our Sunday to Sunday rentals affords you all the comforts of home with a splash of luxury thrown in at every turn.

Watch the game on a cozy couch or catch up on some reading in a recliner with a view. Living spaces in your Sunday to Sunday rental live up to their name and make living and lounging easy to do! When you need some fun, visit your in-house game room to play pool, arcade games or ping-pong! There’s never a dull moment in your Sunday to Sunday rental. For an added taste of luxury, enjoy a soak in your private hot tub after a fun day exploring the Poconos.
Just one peek into your cheerful, bright, and fully equipped kitchen will make you want to scramble a few eggs or whip up your favorite blender drinks!

Each Day is Better Than the Next
Spending as much time as possible in the comfort and style of our vacation escapes is just one of the benefits you’ll receive when you visit the Poconos, but knowing there are adventures waiting around every corner makes it even better! Take a scenic drive to the peak of Camelback Mountain in Big Pocono State Park, being sure to stop for pictures along the way. Enjoying a picnic on the peak promises to offer an exciting and romantic experience you’ll never forget, and on clear days you can see for miles, including into parts of New Jersey and New York! Fishing fans will soon discover there are many places to drop a line and forget about the troubles in the world today as they reel in a variety of trout, perch, and pickerel. Starting with the lake that may be just steps away from your Poconos weekly rentals, your fishing expeditions are guaranteed to be bountiful, and your evening meals will be delicious and healthy as you grill the catch of the day on propane grills we provide at most of our properties. Perhaps you’ll take a dip in the hot tub after, as the stars light up the skies? If an evening of al fresco dining and a stint in the hot tub sounds interesting, be sure to seek out listings that will allow you this experience—not all properties offer the options!
The Trains Are Riding the Rails Again
2020 has been an interesting year, to say the least, but the good news is that things are once again beginning to look up, and the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway, based out of Jim Thorpe, is the perfect example. Offering round trip tours of the countryside, the views are guaranteed to take your breath away, no matter which season you are visiting! With prices starting at $9 for children 3-12 and $17 for adults for a 70-minute tour, the low cost and incredible views may entice you to ride more than once, and for those who want to get a little closer to the countryside, their bike train offers an adventure that is exciting and good for your health and soul. For $35 if you have your own bike, or $55 if you want to rent one of theirs, the train will take you and your bike to the town of White Haven, allowing you to ride back to the station at your own pace. Pack a picnic and pick a scenic spot along the way for a leisurely adventure or separate from your pack and race back to the station; the first-place winner gets a free drink of their choice, purchased by the losers, of course!
Spend Your Days in Style
Each day promises to better than the one before as you explore the Pennsylvania countryside, feeling the tension ease from your shoulders and the joy blossoming bright and strong. And whether you are sipping wine and beer from the Mountain View Vineyard, Winery, Brewery, & Distillery in Stroudsburg, taking family pictures in front to the Bushkill Falls, or just spending some time in the hot tub of your vacation escape, your happiness will grow. Reserve your Pocono weekly rentals vacation happy place today and reach your full peak of happiness!
