11-bedroom private mansion rental. Sleeps 26+.
Family reunions, company retreats, celebrations
An expansive eleven-bedroom mansion on a 130-acre hill, one of four buildings on it, in Beach Lake, Pennsylvania — only two hours from New York City and Philadelphia, yet a million miles away.
Perfect for every season and any weather, with a 38-seat commercial-grade movie theater and a huge in-ground pool.
There is a sauna, an arcade and a hot tub for the evenings, and two kitchens for the mornings.
And there is plenty of space for everybody to reconnect.
Planning a company offsite? Hilltop Mansion has a 36-seat conference room with views of the surrounding Pocono Mountain landscape.
Made for family reunions and corporate retreats. For even larger groups, the Mansion can be paired with any of the other three Hilltop properties, or with Hilltop's River Penthouse, for more bedding and more amenities.
The original 'Vacation Mansion', Hilltop Mansion hosts large family reunions, milestone celebrations and company off-sites. See where everybody sleeps and entertains.

All kinds of groups. Family reunions and friend reunions, birthdays, engagement parties, bachelorette weekends, sweet sixteens, anniversaries — and plenty of gatherings that don't have a name. Eleven bedrooms, two kitchens worth cooking in, and a dining room that seats 32 at once rather than in shifts.
It also books alongside the Castle, the Farmhouse and the Lodge. A group taking the Mansion for a reunion might add the Lodge for the overflow, or the Farmhouse when somebody wants to swim in February.
The Mansion can be rented alongside the Castle, the Farmhouse and the Lodge, each a short walk from the next. Select more than one to see what the combination sleeps and what it comes with.
We'll suggest the property or properties that fit your group best. Children 2 and under don't count toward the guest count.

Across the river
A scenic five-minute drive from Hilltop Castle World, River Penthouse is an ultra-luxe apartment in downtown Narrowsburg, NY, with extraordinary views of the Delaware River. Narrowsburg is a small town packed with exceptional dining and shopping.
Although the penthouse is a separate property, booked on its own site, it makes a great space for overflow guests of any of the bigger Hilltop properties — or a stay in its own right, for anyone who wants the river and the town rather than the hill.
Hilltop Castle World sits on the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware River, where the Pocono and Catskill Mountains meet. Five minutes away you can raft the Delaware or wander the shops and restaurants of Narrowsburg. Within half an hour you'll find Lake Wallenpaupack, local breweries, and skiing and snow tubing at Big Bear. Every drive is a scenic one, and at two hours from New York City and Philadelphia, Hilltop is close enough by car and far enough to feel a world away.
Hilltop T-shirts and hoodies with your group's name on the back, and the Mansion in gold on the shirt. Pool towels too, printed to order and shipped to your door.
Check-in is at 3:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM. We cannot guarantee an earlier check-in or later check-out until a few days before arrival. If we can arrange it, the cost is $150 per hour.
The address is 45 Castle Hill Rd, Beach Lake, Pennsylvania.
There is bedding for 26 across eleven bedrooms and 15 beds: 1 king bed, 10 queen beds, and 4 twin beds. There are also 10 optional cots which can be set up in the Playstation room for $100 per cot or $750 for all ten cots.
There is bedding for 26, and up to 36 guests are allowed in total. Any guest above 26 is $150 per night.
It is an outdoor salt-water pool, with a covered gazebo beside it, and it is an amenity open between May 15th and October 1st. Groups have the option to heat the pool for $400 per tank of propane. A tank lasts about three and a half days, less in cold weather. The hot tub is indoors in its own room downstairs and works all year. For swimming in February, the Farmhouse's indoor pool is the one, and the Farmhouse can be added to a Mansion booking.
The kitchens have standard pots, pans, utensils, plates, cups, coffee mugs, coffee makers, and toasters. There are two single-serve Keurigs, a Nespresso machine, and a three-burner Bunn drip machine. Coffee filters are provided, but not pods or coffee grounds.
Paper towels, personal hygiene products, garbage bags, sunscreen, coffee (pods or grounds), hiking shoes, beach / pool towels, tin foil & plastic wrap, plastic wine glasses, matches or lighter, cards & board games, your favorite Xbox One & PlayStation 4 games, and extra toilet paper.
Once you have booked a Hilltop property there are no refunds. Book the dates you are sure of.
Yes. The wedding package takes all four buildings for three nights and starts at $75,000.
The primary renter must be 25 or older. Family groups are welcome with guests of any age, children and teenagers included. In a group of friends, everyone must be 25 or older, and we do not host prom parties.
Up to three dogs per building. Each must be two years old or older and under 70 lbs. The fee is $250 per dog per stay at the Castle and the Mansion, and $125 per dog per stay at the Farmhouse and the Lodge. Say how many when you enquire and it goes on the booking.
Up to a stated number, and it costs $150 per guest per night above the bedding capacity. No extra bedding is supplied for them. The cap is different for each building and is listed in that building's questions below.
Each property page shows its starting nightly rate. For exact pricing and availability, check your dates in Guesty.
Yes. Every booking needs a signed rental agreement, and you can read it here first.
Four separate buildings — the Castle, the Mansion, the Farmhouse and the Lodge — on one private 130-acre hill in Beach Lake, Pennsylvania. Book one or book all four. Between them they hold 39 bedrooms and sleep 92.
Not unless you have booked them. Each building is a separate rental with its own guests in it, and the grounds that come with your stay are the ones around the building you booked; the rest of the hill and its trails are shared with whoever has booked the other buildings. Most large groups take more than one, and only a booking of all four has the whole hill to itself.
It is two hours from New York City and Philadelphia, by car.
The Poconos. Beach Lake sits in the northern Poconos in Wayne County, Pennsylvania, close enough to the New York line that the Catskills are the next range north — which is where the confusion comes from.
Yes, and most large groups do. The four combine in any arrangement, which is how a group of 92 fits. Taking a second building is what turns a full house into room to spread out.
The Castle sleeps 44 and the Mansion sleeps 26, so either does it alone. The Farmhouse sleeps 16 and the Lodge sleeps 6, and any pairing of two buildings clears 20.
Yes — the whole building, to your group alone. It has 18 bedrooms, sleeps 44, and comes with the bowling alley, the theater and the arcade. It is a real castle that people stay in, not a venue you hire by the hour.
Those are resorts: you book rooms in a building other guests are also staying in, and the pool and the dining room are shared with everyone. At Hilltop you take the building, and there is nobody else in it. The trade is that a resort schedules your day for you and Hilltop does not.
Four miles of walking and nature trails across the 130 acres — a 1.5-mile loop marked with red tree markers and a 2.5-mile loop marked with yellow. Indoors, what you get depends on the building: pools, a sauna, billiards, bowling, a theater and arcades are spread across the four.
Indoors, at a reasonable volume. No outdoor music, and no DJ equipment. The hill has neighbours and this is a residential area.
Not indoors, in any building. Smoke outside and dispose of the butts properly rather than dropping them on the ground.
Yes. Hotel-quality linens, beds made before you arrive, and bath towels and face cloths for everyone. Pool towels are the exception — bring your own please, and please keep the bath towels away from the pool and the hot tub.
On request, mid-stay or daily. It is $35 per hour per housekeeper with a two-hour minimum. Ask when you book or once you are here.
Two rolls of toilet paper per bathroom, dish detergent for the dishwasher, and one garbage bag per bin to start you off. A large group goes through all of that quickly, so bring extra — including large contractor bags.
Firewood is $10 a bundle from the shed on site, on the honour system, so bring cash. Propane for the gas grills is supplied. There is a washer and dryer on the property.
Every building has its own network. The name and how to join it are in that building's questions.
Call or text 570-335-6258 an hour before you arrive, so someone can meet you there to let you in and give you the door code. The bedrooms are numbered, so the list of which bed is in which room matches what you find when you walk in.
Sometimes, but it cannot be confirmed until a few days before you arrive — it depends on who is in the building before and after you. If it can be arranged it is $150 per hour.
There are restaurants in Narrowsburg, Honesdale, Hawley and Callicoon, all a short drive away, and the Delaware River is only five minutes away.
