Discover our swimming hole & paddling area, Fairy Village, giant swing & fire cauldron with ski chairs. Inside: a 60-game arcade, wood-burning fireplace, pillow bar & dining for 10. From family adventures to cozy nights in, the house is part of the vacation. Save us to your wishlist—or check your dates for a Pocono escape!
Guests enjoy full privacy with easy self-check-in via smart lock. We’re always available by message if you need anything during your stay, from local recommendations to assistance with the home. We’ll give you plenty of space to relax while making sure help is always close by.
Bearly Roughing It is tucked into the peaceful, wooded Lake Naomi community in Pocono Pines—close to the Poconos’ biggest attractions while still feeling wonderfully removed from it all.
Enjoy quiet roads, towering trees, nearby lakes and an easy year-round escape for hiking, skiing, waterparks, restaurants and family adventures.
Lake Naomi Club amenities may be available through an optional temporary membership for stays of 7 nights or longer, subject to availability and Club rules. Please ask before booking if Club access is important to your stay.
You have our whole home for your stay, along with the back deck, the wooded grounds, the fire pit, the yoga platform, and our private creek beach. Self check-in is with a smart lock; your code and arrival instructions come through before you get here. The driveway holds six vehicles, and the creek and the woods beyond our property line belong to the community rather than to us.
BEARLY ROUGHING IT — CREEKSIDE DAYS & FIRESIDE NIGHTS
Start your morning with coffee beside the creek. Spend the afternoon in a hammock while the kids discover the Fairy Village. End the evening around our hanging fire cauldron—or curled up by the indoor fireplace.

FAQs
• Five exterior security cameras that record audio and video, for property security: two on the front of the home facing the yard and driveway, one on the side, one on the back facing the deck and garden, and one at the front door. No interior cameras.
• Lake Naomi Club amenities, including the pools, beaches, hot tub, tennis and fitness facilities, are not included with the home. Temporary Club memberships are available only in limited numbers each year for stays of seven nights or longer, so availability is not guaranteed. Please reach out before booking if Club access matters to your stay.
• Our creek has no lifeguard, and depth and conditions change with the weather and the season. Please keep an eye on children at the water.
• The path down to the creek runs over uneven ground and tree roots, so a flashlight is recommended after dark.
• A short walk from the house, about 6 to 7 minutes, leads to the community trout pond, the only lake in Lake Naomi where dogs are allowed to swim.
• This is a wooded creekside property, so wildlife and insects come with it. Guests have watched deer from the deck and spotted a black bear on the grounds.
