About this home

Rare opportunity to acquire a fully approved, reno-ready boutique hotel project in the Pocono Mountains. The sale includes township-approved permits, plans, a complete architectural package, and a fully developed professional boutique hotel brand with a comprehensive marketing strategy. The Blakeslee House - An Intimate Boutique Hotel / Tavern project. This is the revival of a Poconos landmark known as the 'Tobyhanna Falls House' in the early 1900's and 'McGinley's Pocono Trail Lodge' through the latter half of the 20th Century. This project has been thoughtfully repositioned to deliver a premium, experiential hotel product—addressing a clear gap in the local market where upscale boutique inventory remains limited. Tucked in the heart of the Poconos, The Blakeslee House is a reimagined Dutch Colonial treasure, born in 1902 and to be lovingly restored to its timeless beauty. With just 14 cozy rooms and an option for additional Owner's quarters, it blends rustic charm and modern ease, where every corner whispers warmth and belonging. Thoughtfully designed, it invites guests to sink into cabin-chic comfort, experience genuine hospitality, and connect deeply to the soul of the mountains- a place where history and nature shape every moment. The first floor features a tasteful lobby and chic Tavern/Restaurant with ample seating. The property features public sewer and upside with room to expand into Glamping and other outdoor venues and events. The Poconos remains a strong leisure destination with year-round demand driven by outdoor recreation, regional tourism investment, and proximity to NYC and Philadelphia market areas. While post-COVID rates have normalized, luxury and upscale properties continue to outperform, making this project well-positioned for long-term success. This offering allows a buyer to bypass the most time-consuming and risky phases of development and step directly into execution. All major upfront work has been completed, making this one of the most compelling boutique hotel opportunities currently available in the Pocono market.
