Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Scranton

I cannot say enough about mellow yellow! This quiet farmhouse is surrounded by nature, including a babbling brook. It is the perfect place to get some rest, reconnect with nature and enjoy just being present. Looking forward to staying here in the future!

Joel And Shawn‘s place worked out perfectly for our family gathering. With five bedrooms, one of which included bunkbeds, there was plenty of sleeping space for our party of eight. The neighborhood is quiet and there is plenty of parking in the driveway and on the street. There are two kitchens and two bathrooms, so no one had to wait for their 1st cup of morning coffee or the shower. We were a short drive from Wilkes-Barre , where my grand nieces graduation was and where we enjoyed a celebration dinner. For those who want to make dinner at home, there is a ShopRite about 10 minutes away by car.

We stayed at Oak View during the first week of June 2025 and had a truly wonderful experience. The home is beautifully designed and thoughtfully appointed, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The host was attentive and responsive without being intrusive. We spent most days relaxing on the deck, enjoying the peaceful surroundings—and even sneaking in a few naps. It was the perfect escape for a restful weekend. We’ll definitely be back!

Lauren and Ryan's House was great! A perfect home for our family of four. The train themed bunk beds, darts and shuffleboard, fireplaces, and record player, were all hits. Lauren quickly responded to a few of our questions and made it clear that our comfort was her top priority. If you are looking for a clean, comfy, cozy and safe place by a lake, I highly recommend the Green Light Lodge. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely book again!

-Beautiful, Good,Clean house. Although The weather was cloudy & rainy, I still feel I’m at my second home Angelo is such a superhost. I’m a landlord myself so I recognize automatically a good one . Angelo place gave me that sense of peace & serenity ! We definitely coming back to -unwind, distressed !

Cindy's home was immaculate -- we appreciated one of the home rules being no outdoor shoes on in the house! We are big coffee drinkers so we also enjoyed the variety of K-Cups that we had to select from -- we felt right at home. Cindy's home is in a very quiet, safe neighborhood and it is very close to all of the stores in downtown Honesdale. We were so pleased with our stay that we have already been in communication with her about some future dates when we visit NEPA again!

We had a great time at the school house! I met Adam, and he was very friendly! Great spot, we had a blast! 100% would recommend!

Thank you for letting us stay at your place. We were in town for our 20 year reunion. The spot was perfect location. The rooms were great. We loved the front common area. We would recommend this place to anyone. And who knows, we’d probably stay here again next reunion!

I must say, being that it was my first time traveling alone, I felt safe and comfortable. I think I found my safe spot to unwind and relax. I love how peaceful and calming my stay was. There are things to do that’s no more than 30 minutes out. Jonathan and his team were very responsive when needed. The unit is exactly as the picture, very clean, appliances are in great condition, it has been maintained very well. I’m definitely coming back!

Beautiful spacious house.The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for cooking meals at home.We would definitely recommend going on the electric rail-bikes. plenty of great hikes near by,

This place was cozy, clean, and felt just like home. It’s in a great location—within walking distance of plenty of delicious local restaurants and fun activities. We loved how easy it was to explore the area without needing to drive. If you’re looking for a comfortable stay that’s close to food, attractions, and also a short drive to hiking and other things to do in the Poconos, this is a perfect choice!

My gf and I love this location. I am a local and when she comes to visit we rent this place! Its so nicely decorated and I love the brick walls. The apartment also offers little extras like shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. There are little containers with floss sticks, q tips and cotton pads. They also have complimentary coffee pods which is a blessing haha. The owners are so responsive and friendly I will book here every time my gf comes to visit! Thank you for a great stay in the heart of this adorable town!

Michael & Sarah’s place is fantastic! Right on the lake with every amenity you could want (French press, dishwasher, home theatre, BBQ, and fire pit to name a few) The place was comfortable and clean, in an extremely tranquil location, perfect for coffee or wine looking out over the lake from the porch or dock. This home had all of the little touches that make for an extremely comfortable stay (like wood and fire starters at the fire pit). Michael and Sarah are very warm, friendly and welcoming - we would recommend this place to anyone we know visiting the area!

Wow! This place was perfect for our mountain hiking adventure weekend. We chose it because it had ample space, a kitchen and was near several of the parks we had looked into but what we got was so much more. The instructions were meticulous like every other detail of the space and was easy to follow for us who are from out of town. The space gave us and our teen nephew plenty of space to prepare and rest around our 8-mile outstanding hike at Ricketts Glenn Park. We hiked past more than 30 breathtaking waterfalls. We prepared our breakfasts and snacks in the fully equipped kitchen and slept like babies in the comfy bed. Each detail was considered, gently communicated and orderly. We are frequent travelers and this place stood out. We hope to be back soon.

They were not kidding when they named this bambis haven because we were able to get up close and personal with deers all over and even got to get friendly with the homes kitties.

Sarah's loft was exactly as described. Parking was handy and the space felt safe. We were able to walk to a fantastic Italian restaurant as well as a nice walking path near the river. We definitely recommend this loft, especially for couples.

My family and I rented Jonathan's place as a long-term rental during ski season. We wanted to be close to Big Boulder given our involvement in the race program and the place could not have been more conveniently located (it was also great being able to walk to Boulder View Tavern for apres ski!). The unit was just like it was described, and Jonathan was always incredibly responsive if we ever needed anything. This place became our "home away from home" for ski season and we were truly sad to pack up on our last day. Highly recommend both this unit and Jonathan (I believe he has other properties) to anyone considering a stay in the Poconos. Fantastic experience and absolutely wonderful host!!

Jackie's condo is spacious and welcoming. Beautiful lakefront property, minutes from Big Boulder. Close to all the local restaurants. Layout is larger than it appears on the listing. Felt right at home!

An amazing lakefront property. Great for hiking, adventuring, and skiing in the winter. I would stay again.

Communication was excellent, place was clean, well stocked with everything we needed for a short stay. The lake was pretty, the weather was a tad chilly but view of lake was really nice!

We truly enjoyed Sharon's place! Its very clean, with great surroundings and so many little thoughtful details. The balcony faces the pool which is very convenient. Rule pools are quite strict ( have to drop off pick up entry bracelets every time, no kids in warm pool/spa). Great restaurants nearby!

We had the best time, and this was the absolute perfect spot! Clean, comfortable, perfect location with beautiful views and easy access to the pools and hot tub! Amy was incredibly responsive and helpful. 10/10 recommend and would visit again!

Had a wonderful time at Jan's place. We celebrated our very first family reunion. Beautiful setting with access to all kinds of amenities. Stay at Jan's... guarantee you won't be disappointed!

My family and I enjoyed our stay, very clean and neat space and the host was kind and responsive.
