River Retreat (formerly known as Fat Rabbit)
Located in the heart of the Poconos, where the PA Turnpike (NE Ext) and Interstate 80 intersect, River Retreat is an easy 1.5 hour drive from Philadelphia, New York and New Jersey. Nestled in the woods adjacent to the Lehigh Gorge State Park and the Lehigh River, you are surrounded by nature for biking, walking, hiking, fishing , white water rafting, golf, skiing, paintball, zip lining and so much more!
This charming Log Cabin home sits on 2 private acres in the woods in the Poconos on the Lehigh River. You will enjoy relaxing on the huge deck overlooking the river & bike path! Watch and hear the Lehigh River rapids from the deck or hike directly to them. Bring your bicycles as this Pocono Log Cabin sits on the Lehigh Gorge State Park and ride 26 miles from end to end (White Haven to Jim Thorpe). Enjoy a picnic lunch, views of the river and many waterfalls along the way!
The cabin also has a wood-burning fireplace in the living room, a Jacuzzi tub in master bath, a Pool Table and Bar in our finished basement and an outdoor fire pit and charcoal grills!
Most of the rental houses in the Poconos are located in housing developments controlled by Homeowner Association. This cabin is NOT in a development!  There are no neighbors worried about you, ready to report you. You will feel secluded in the woods, but you are also just a mile from town for all the things you might need. This is one of just a few log cabins located on the Lehigh Gorge State Park & Lehigh River.

b.River Retreat

My family and I celebrated our daughter’s 1st birthday here. Our party size was about 60, so we needed 3 cabins; Valhalla, River Lodge and River Retreat, all in which were beautiful, homey and perfect for our large family.
Our family has never done a vacation to the scale and we cannot wait to do it again. We all hope to be back to enjoy the summer months.
Lisa and the cabin owners were fantastic, thank you for helping make our daughter’s first birthday so memorable.  (12/20 – 12/22/25)

Daughter's 1st Birthday

River Retreat lived up to its name. It was quiet, comfortable, and a great place to recharge throughout the weekend. The cabin was spotless on arrival and well equipped, making it easy to settle in right away. We loved having a calm, welcoming space to come back to after our group activities. It struck a great balance between privacy and accessibility, and we’d happily stay here again.

Doesn't get better than this!

The accommodation is beautiful and a quiet environment. My family and I loved it. I would definitely come back again!  (7/18 – 7/20/25)

Beautiful

Lance & Lisa were extremely helpful in organizing our bachelor party -- very knowledgeable about local activities + discounts. The Retreat Cabin was great... you really can't beat being out in the woods and right on the river. The place was clean and had sufficient towels, blankets, and beds for our 15 person group. Highly recommend.  (7/31 – 8/3/25)

On the River!

Excellent time! The house was pristine and had everything we needed. Great location and the hosts were accommodating on all requests. Highly recommend.  (8/14 – 8/17/25)
