is this the best escape from new york city today we'll take you through the highlights
of a few days from the poconos mountains i'd like to thank a sponsor of today's video surfsharkvpn
look at this house two hours from new york city and it's like a completely
different world it's the first time we've ever rented a lake house before and did this kind
of a group trip and this house well you gotta see it it's absolutely spectacular if you just need an
escape from the big city this is the kind of place you come to this was made for big groups
this is made for families like all these setups all the chairs you notice there's no tv up here
which i like there's a big entertainment center we'll get to that later and the nice thing about
the poconos this part of pennsylvania is that groceries are so much cheaper than in new york
city i mean we absolutely just like stacked up this refrigerator with stuff i think it cost 90
if we bought all this in brooklyn i'm thinking 150 at least master suite i don't know i guess we can
call it the honeymoon suite here very comfortable bed you wake up first thing in the morning and
what do you see is beautiful lake realize you don't really have to leave one thing many people
don't know is that the poconos mountains in the 1960s was the honeymoon capital of the united
states if you've ever seen those heart-shaped tubs they originated here of course this shower
very romantic it's a four bedroom house you can bring kids which i think is amazing and
i walked into this room late last night and for a split second i thought that bear was something
else and i got freaked out this is something you definitely don't get in new york city a humongous
finished basement with theater style television it was raining last night and we were just down
here for hours watching movies everything was enabled on there i assure you the outside is
the real reason you book a place like this oh it seems really beautiful everywhere you go in this
house you feel comfortable i'd rather be lost at the lake and found it home a wise man once said
fire pit s'mores you guys say more beer yeah you're welcome beer what i'm about to say is true
she might not believe me i could spend all day here just so calm oh look a snake oh wow
the ultimate icing on the cake about a lake house is having the ability
just to go out under the water
the poconos have over 150 lakes and this little one is right outside our door kind of got it kind
of got it kind of got it i don't grow much i don't get out much actually for that matter i'm so proud
i want to thank a sponsor of today's video surf shark vpn a vpn is a must-have for any traveler it
keeps your online identity safe by encrypting all the information sent between your device and the
internet a vpn swaps the relocation of your device with a new one also known as changing your ip
address when i leave new york be it for an airbnb or a hotel securing my online data from hackers is
always really important and even when i'm running around the city let's say on the
subway in new york using public wi-fi many of you watching this outside of the us you want

me i've decided to show you guys all the most family-friendly trail in the poconos called shades
of death now legend has it that 50 hikers a year go missing on this very path but today we will try
to avoid said fate no i'm just kidding guys just a name oh i just poked my eye out did
you get that camera was that a warning from above i don't know oh from below
you can't get lost as long as you follow yellow paint
i actually found out about this trail from a youtube video a guy
went to a waterfall and he said oh the waterfall's okay but my favorite
is shades of death and i'm thinking shades of death is that some kind of amusement
park i had to rewind it a few times and i googled this place and i see it's pulling
normally when i think of hiking trails at least the ones i've been to they're gonna
be a little monotonous but the topography keeps changing everywhere it's like new and
