Who We Are

Your Hosts

Hello from the Cataldo family! We’re Michael Sr., Michael Jr., Laura, and Cathleen, and together, we built The Pocono Barndominium from the ground up. This project is a true labor of love, blending our construction expertise with a passion for hospitality. As locals to the Jim Thorpe area, we take great pride in sharing not only our home but also our favorite local recommendations with every guest who stays with us.

 

Michael Sr. and Jr., founders of Cataldo Builders Inc., set out to create something truly unique in the Poconos. Their vision was to craft a home that combines farmhouse charm with modern functionality, all while maintaining the highest standards of quality. The barndominium, originally a post-frame structure typically used for warehouses or garages, was transformed into a luxurious retreat ideal for large groups to gather and create lasting memories.

 

Laura and Cathleen, a mother-daughter team, manage The Pocono Barndominium and several other vacation rental properties throughout the Poconos through their boutique co-hosting and vacation rental management company, Discovered In Travel Vacation Homes. They focus on the little details that elevate each guest’s experience, ensuring that every stay is the best vacation rental experience they’ve ever had.

 

Every nail, beam, and design element of this home was crafted by our family to create a space where people can gather, celebrate milestone moments, and create memories for years to come. We invite you to step inside, kick off your boots, and escape the everyday at The Pocono Barndominium.

Why our guests

LOVE STAYING HERE

Cathleen’s barndominium was incredible! From the amenities, to the s’mores kit, to the seating options, to the olive oil spray, it’s clear Cathleen put a ton of thought into making a stay here as enjoyable and convenient as possible. We had everything we needed to celebrate my husband’s birthday with a group of friends. The barndominium had something for everyone—golf simulator, theater room, hot tub, fire pit, tvs, and lots of outdoor and indoor seating for games, reading, etc. There was never a dull moment! Everyone had a wonderful time and said they’d definitely come back, so I see another trip in our future. I’d highly recommend staying here, you won’t want to leave!

Cathleen was highly responsive. The house was very clean, all appliances were new and worked well, and she even left out lovely little touches like popcorn in the movie room and S'Mores materials.

Excellent experience and excellent host. Very few times do pictures accurately show Airbnb listings, but this is certainly one where there weren't any embellishments. Would certainly book again.

This Airbnb is a 10/10. We had a large group staying at the house and we were never short of things to do. There are plenty of games and activities at this house. There is lots of space where we did not feel like we were on top of each other. The heated floors were a big hit with our group and so was the golf simulator. The host was phenomenal. She was very responsive, polite, and took the time to make sure we were fully taken care of before, during, and after our stay. It is definitely a place worth the money, very clean, and well maintained. Don’t hesitate, just stay, you will not regret it.

We stayed here to celebrate my dad’s birthday, and it was absolutely perfect for the occasion. The home was clean, well-stocked, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and memorable weekend. The shared spaces were ideal for spending time together as a family—cozy enough for conversation, spacious enough for meals and laughs. The host was responsive and thoughtful, making check-in seamless and ensuring we had everything we needed. The outdoor space was especially nice—we made great use of it during our time there. Highly recommend this spot for any kind of gathering or celebration. It made my dad’s birthday weekend extra special!

This place was absolutely perfect! It was clean, cozy, and exactly as described—if not better. Every detail was clearly thought out, making our stay super comfortable and relaxing. But what really made this experience stand out was the host. They were phenomenal—warm, responsive, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. From great local recommendations to quick replies, they truly made us feel welcome. I wouldn’t hesitate to book this place again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great stay with an outstanding host!
