The menu is on boards all over the room, which is kind of like a delicious end to an egg hunt! This is a 20 minute drive from our Airbnb. *** Just a note, due to Covid the last time we were in here, the bar and the menus were all covered up. A lot of the charm went with it. Hopefully things will be back to normal soon!

This family is from South America and they dish up consistently good comfort food. This is not a Mexican restaurant, so all of the Mexican seasonings and chilies are absent. Get the Colombian sausage, the shrimp appetizer and the empanadas. We have fajitas there a lot! I've heard the churros are wonderful, but I am always too full to order them! Lovely family! The setting is a little dodgy, back in the parking lot of a derelict hotel, but just lock your doors and walk into this delicious, safe haven! We've never had a problem!

This is a fun outdoor space, on an old apple farm in the country. They serve a variety of their own ciders, as well as wine, and changing craft brews. They have live music and a changing food truck. Bring a blanket or chairs and relax in the beautiful outdoors!

Standing out in vivid contrast to the surrounding Pocono Mountains landscape, Tannersville Cranberry Bog provides a snapshot of colder times. Thousands of years ago, a large glacial lake occupied the space of what has since become a thick soup of peat moss. Today, while the ice and lake have long receded, the unique ecosystem that remains serves as the southernmost low elevation boreal bog along the eastern seaboard. It represents an intricate transformation that took place over the millennia and would be impossible to replace if destroyed. The Tannersville Cranberry Bog Preserve is one of The Nature Conservancy's first nature preserves in Pennsylvania. Over the years, careful stewardship by TNC, partners and the local community has yielded great returns as the bog soaks up rain and runoff like a giant sponge--cleansing water and controlling pollution throughout the Pocono Creek watershed. The bog is a 15 minute drive from our Airbnb.
