As such, you need a reliable accommodation near the area for your stay. This list of the best Airbnb vacation rentals near Delaware Water Gap, Pennsylvania, will help you find a vacation home that will put you in the best mood for the vacation of your dreams.

Head to this four-bedroom house that sits on 50 acres (20.2 hectares) of land.

Explore the nearby trails and hills and feel yourself unwind and reconnect with nature. After you’re done exploring, soak in one of the two hot tubs to reinvigorate yourself. It isn’t very common for an Airbnb rental to have Google Nest, but this one does. So, tell Google to play your favorite music while you’re in the kitchen preparing dinner.
