Winter has officially arrived early in the Pocono Mountains, and families are already locking in ski weekends, holiday getaways, and school break escapes. With multiple ski mountains opening ahead of schedule and fresh snow continuing to fall, this is one of the most exciting winter seasons we have seen in years.
If you are looking for a family friendly, budget conscious winter getaway near the slopes, Mt. Maplewood offers three warm, welcoming homes designed for real family time, real comfort, and real savings.

Early Ski Season Means More Choices
Camelback Mountain opened early this season as the first ski mountain in Pennsylvania, quickly followed by Big Boulder, Jack Frost, and Shawnee. That early start means more flexibility, more winter weekends, and better availability if you book now.
Winter weekends are already filling quickly. We still have limited availability for MLK Weekend and Presidents Weekend, but inquiries are moving fast. Spring break requests are already coming in, and we even have early summer bookings on the calendar.
Stay Minutes From the Slopes Without Resort Prices
Our Mt. Maplewood homes are located close to all the major Pocono ski destinations:
• Camelback Ski Mountain• Big Boulder Ski Mountain• Jack Frost Ski Mountain• Shawnee Ski Mountain
You get easy access to skiing, snowboarding, and snow tubing, without paying resort lodging prices. That means more of your budget stays with your family, not hidden booking costs.

Cozy Nights Are Where the Memories Are Made
After a full day in the snow, nothing beats coming back to your own space. Sink into the hot tub, warm up by the fire, cook meals together, and gather for board games and movie nights. These are the moments families remember long after the trip ends.
