About this property
Entire place
Birch Creek Retreat ~ 8br, 8ba, New Hot Tub + Sauna!
Stay at this private, sprawling & historic country home just 5 mins from Belleayre Ski Resort! This is a generously spacious home situated on 23 acres of woodlands. There is a barn and a rare keystone bridge on the property with a meandering stream that runs throughout. Perfect place to host memorable family reunions, friends gatherings & all season getaways! :) Please inquire for use of the barn.
This is a historical home with tons of original features. Dr Henry Morton (first President of Stevens Institute) and his descendants called this estate home for over 4 generations. The Mortons were benefactors to the local area, including the Pine Hill Library. Since acquiring the house, I have done my best to maintain the integrity of the home while continuing to embrace some modern touches for comfort.

The house has 8 comfy bedrooms and most have their own personal bathrooms! Two working fireplaces and large eat-in kitchen with a commercial Garland range and a covered, outdoor hot tub. Come get toasty by the firepit or soak in the hot tub after a long day or skiing, hiking, boating, swimming, antiquing and exploring!
Firewood and Propane for BBQ will be on site gratis and plentiful for your stay!
During your stay, you will have access to entire main house and wraparound deck, along with surrounding grounds and parking. Please inquire for use of the barn in advance.
I have a local property manager who is readily available for any potential needs that may arise. I will always be respectful of your privacy and space. I will also be available by phone for any requests, needs or questions that you may have! There is a guide in the house with suggestions to eat, drink, see & do.
The house is set up to comfortably accommodate 16 adults maximum. Any add'l guests visiting the home beyond booking agreement must be requested in advance.
Loud music must be turned down outside past 10pm with respect to the local neighbors and surrounding forest.
I love dogs! So, well-behaved dogs are welcome. 2 dogs max. The add'l fee will be $25 per dog, per night booked.
This house was built in late 1890's and is reflective of that style of home. If you are expecting a modern, fine-lined and updated property, this may not be most ideal fit for your needs. The house is in a rural setting. Please anticipate rusticity and old fashioned character. The home is thoroughly cleaned and cared for between guests though not void of imperfections. There are general updates which I am constantly working on with my maintenance team in between guest stays. If you notice something specifically broken upon arrival or in need of repair, please message me about this upon/during your arrival so that I may address appropriately.
The home is located in the woods on a secluded property; potential for wildlife sighting is quite possible!
In inclement weather, 4WD or AWD is recommended.
There's one exterior camera that oversees the parking area ONLY.
This a very large, older home so temps can vary throughout. During colder weather, small areas of the of home stay warmer (bedrooms, kitchen) than larger open areas (formal dining room), so sweaters and comfy slippers may be needed for some folks. There are supplemental heating sources for your comfort: fireplaces, floor heaters, wall heaters and throws.
Check-out is 11am SHARP and Check-in is between 4pm - 10pm. Please understand that the house requires the entire time in between to clean & prepare for the next set of guests. If you would like to arrange an early check-in or late check-out please let me know beforehand so I can try and make arrangements ahead of time, if possible.

Getting around by car is recommended.
