Now that fall has officially begun, the peak season for watching the leaves change is fast approaching. And we’ve got some suggestions of where you can go to see it happening.
Tannersville, Pennsylvania was named as one of the top places in the country to check out the changing colors of autumn leaves. So if you’re ready for a road trip to the Poconos, we’ve got a list of places to stay from Vrbo.
These rental properties come fully equipped with all sorts of cozy fall-friendly amenities, and most of them are also only a short distance away from indoor amusement parks, hiking trails, and other destinations - though of course you’ll want to take the proper COVID-19 precautions for anywhere you visit.
Check out these getaway spots for peak leaf watching season:
Deluxe Escape

The first of the Vrbo suggestions is a newly renovated four-bedroom, two bathroom farmhouse that can sleep up to 11 (though of course, with a pandemic going on, you’d only want to schedule a trip with the people who are safely within your COVID-19 bubble). The building sits on a five acre property, and even has a home office for anyone who can’t actually get away during their getaway.
And as the evenings start to get a bit chilly, you can avail yourself to either the fire pit or the hot tub to warm up a bit. Staying here will set you back $382 a night. Click here to see more details and photos.
Modern Home

This “million-dollar view” property is available for $390 a night, and it comes courtesy of a three-bedroom, 2 bathroom townhouse. The home is in a cul-de-sac only a few minutes away from Camelback Mountain Resort, Aquatopia and other Pocono regional attractions, and it can sleep up to 10.

Dream Retreat

A pool isn’t always as exciting with cooler temperatures. But when it’s heated, that’s a different story. Add in a gas fireplace and less than a mile’s distance from Camelback Mountain, there are a lot of things to see at this three-bedroom, two bath home. It’s also pet-friendly with an additional fee.
Rentals are $290 a night. For details and photos, click here.
Mountain View Chateau
If you tire of the views of foliage, you can always enjoy the game room, which comes with shuffleboard, dart board and other arcade classics. There’s also a hot tub, an outdoor dining area and TVs in each of the four bedrooms. The master bedroom has an adjoining bathroom, plus three additional full baths.
Visitors can also check out the heated outdoor pool, tennis courts and playground nearby. The rental price is $458 per night; get more info and photos here.
Family-Friendly Retreat

This creekfront property comes with four bedrooms, three full baths, a private pool, hot tub and fire pit. The house sits on two acres, and the home also has a foosball table and two-player indoor basketball game for those inclined to friendly competition. The property is also within 15 minutes of attractions such as skydiving, skiing, shooting ranges and indoor waterparks - though you’ll want to check on each location’s hours and availability during the coronavirus pandemic.
The rental fee is $297 per night. Click here for details and more photos.
Cozy Cottage Getaway

A three-bedroom, two-bath home that can sleep 8, this rental is in a community that includes a 190 acre lake with a sandy beach, community pool, volleyball, tennis and basketball courts, a game room and arcade, and even boat rentals. If you want to look at fall foliage, there are worse options than doing it from a boat on a lake.
There’s also a large deck, and pets are welcome with an additional fee. Several regional attractions are also within driving distance, and each night’s rental is $217. Click here for more photos and details.
