More history, omg the history, the views, the sights, sounds, the shopping, etc. A good place to spend the day sight seeing, shopping, and eating. East Stroudsburg is a tourists' paradise because it is where the civilization is...everything that is a nationwide chain known in your area you will most likely find it here.

Shopping
Okay for all of you antique market enthusiasts, I got a challenge for you, this antique mall is largest in the area. It is several thousand square feet of vendors selling their wares. If you are looking for that hard to find classic chachka then this is the place for you. I would not recommend it for young kids as you cannot really touch anything and it just a lot of walking and looking...trust me, they will get bored as hell and wanna leave.

Straight up the road is a long-time favorite of ours. This place is larger than it looks with plenty of shopping to be had. Not only does it have homemade candles galore, but it also has different rooms with wares of sale in each holiday, a room for incense, home decor, fancy knick knacks, and a haunted house in their basement!! A special section for CBD infused beauty & health products.

About 15 minutes from our house there is a wonderful place our daughter enjoys and it is perfect for those who have always wanted to try horseback riding. Guided tours along the creek while taking in the wonderful mountain views. Perfect for older kids and adults alike. When done, walk right next door to Kasa Pizza....(see food scene).

Look what is to the South of us!! If you were coming to visit during a race, we are close enough to stay at. We are far enough that you do not hear the race cars thankfully but we are close enough that when they have their annual airshow you can hear those jets from our living room! Coincide your visit with one of their events!

Good food and good spirits (beer/wine/etc) can be found here. A bit pricey but definitely a traditional eating place when visiting the Poconos. Be sure to get there early as this place is VERY popular. Must be over 21 to drink and do beer tastings!

The name sells itself. Best damn cheesecake in the area. Go here! 'Nuff said lol
In answer to your question yes it is like the "cheesecake factory" but without all the main dining experience. You just walk up to the window and choose one of their dozens of cheese cake flavors. Try the chocolate covered frozen cheesecake slice on a stick!

A few minutes away is this wonderful store. All your food shopping needs can be done here. Why pack all the food having it take up space in your car just to go bad from the long car ride, when you can come empty handed and shop here for half the cost! Great food, excellent prices, eclectic selection. This place is like the love child of ShopRite and Save-A-Lot. :P

Consejos para la ciudad
Qué debes empacar
We do not provide Towels, Rags, Linens, Food, Toiletries
If you are not getting the Linen Rental package please make sure you pack enough linens and extra pillowcases for your trip. Please pack plenty of towels/rags. We provide cooking essentials & spices but not food. Your best bet is to wait till you get here and then head over to Weis up the street to buy your food. Especially if you are coming long distances. For sanitary reasons all guests must provide their own toiletries, just please make sure you remember to take them when you check out.
Facilidad para moverse por la casa
We are not near any bus routes, trains, or subways.
First, subways do not even EXIST in the Poconos. Trains are mostly freight and not commuter. However there may be a new line opening up from New York to Scranton (god-willing!). The nearest bus is 5 mins away at the shopping plaza on 940. The bus is called the Pocono Pony and it is the mass transportation system of the Poconos. If you think you can do a Lyft or Uber here is a wake up call...those services are rare up here and few far in between. Your best bet is a taxi or a rental car!
