paxonpro Posted January 28, 2014 Report Posted January 28, 2014 Looking for a house rental in this area for a three day weekend in Feb. (dates are flexible) Hoping for 3-5 bedrooms with at least two baths We are planning on skiing both Elk and Montage on this trip. I have a 4th and 5th grader both with the ski PA pass. We are trying to hit as many PA resorts as we can. I have not seen many house rentals in the area north of scranton on any of the popular websites (VRBO, Homeaway) Just hoping someone here might have some inside info. Thank you in advance for info you can provide! Quote
Sno Mountain Skier Posted January 28, 2014 Report Posted January 28, 2014 You are not going to find much. The Scranton area does not have many vacation rentals. Quote

Ride Delaware ? Posted January 28, 2014 Report Posted January 28, 2014 Your best bet is going to be the VBRO option around Elk. Unfortunately, most of the actual ski house rentals are in the Poke N Hoes. Huge rental market in and around JFBB and CB. Quote
poconoceancity Posted January 29, 2014 Report Posted January 29, 2014 If you search the Split Rock, Lake Harmony or Albrightsville locations you will find tons of stuff. 5 min from Boulder, 10 from Frost, 20 from Blue, 30 from camel and 40 from Montage. Plus the area bars and restaurants are good and have a ski vacation vibe to them. Quote
RyanPhillip Posted January 29, 2014 Report Posted January 29, 2014 You should check airbnb.com great if you looking for rentals and has homes literally anywhere, yes even scranton. Quote
paxonpro Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Posted January 30, 2014 thanks for the info! I did not know about the airbnb.com site which has some good stuff. we have a place to stay near JFBB and go there often. The kids were interested in spending a weekend at some places they don't get to often. it seems like a lot more limited selection for home rentals near scranton and areas north. still looking for weekend home rental towards the end of feb.

If your goal is to hit as many resorts as possible, the greater concentration is here, then day trip to Montage, even stay at Chet's Place relatively cheap for Elk skiing. They can configure as many rooms/beds as you need. Cheap eats and drinks as well. Quote
paxonpro Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Posted January 31, 2014 I did see some home rentals at the hideout, how far is the drive to elk from the Lake Ariel? we already have hit boulder, frost, cb, blue, alpine, and shawnee day trips from tannersville area may be the best way to hit Elk & Montage, but i will also look into chets for a one night stay.
