◆◆◆Staying in the Pocono Mountains◆◆◆
If this is your first time visiting the Poconos, we want to ensure you understand what staying in the mountains entails. This house is nestled in the mountains, surrounded by trees and nature. As a result, you may encounter wildlife, as this is their home and we are merely guests. Wildlife may include flying insects, spiders, ants, squirrels, flying squirrels, mice, foxes, raccoons, opossums, skunks, snakes, turtles, coyotes, and black bears. Smaller creatures and insects can occasionally find their way inside depending on the outside conditions. We have monthly exterminator visits to minimize this, but being in the mountains, anything is possible.

Additionally, the mountain infrastructure differs from that of the city. Small wind or rain storms can occasionally cause power or internet outages in specific areas, including our home. Power outages may affect the water supply as we are on wells and the well pumps need power to work. Usually, these outages are restored within 8-10 hours, which is a quick turnaround given the weather conditions. For outages lasting less than 24 hours, no refund or compensation will be provided. For outages exceeding 24 hours, compensation will be issued on a case-by-case basis.

Lastly, please be aware that extreme heat or cold waves can put stress on the house's heating or cooling systems, and these systems may struggle to keep up during very high or very low temperatures.

◆◆◆Winter Bookings◆◆◆
During winter months, it is highly recommended to have a vehicle with All-Wheel Drive (AWD) or 4x4 capabilities due to potential heavy snowfall.

◆◆◆Supplies◆◆◆
We provide a starter pack of household essentials (paper towels, toilet paper, garbage bags, dish detergent). If the property includes a dishwasher, washer, and dryer, we also provide cleaning agents for those. Guests staying for longer durations or with larger groups should bring additional supplies. Personal toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, body wash), q-tips, deodorants, or other personal care products are not provided.

The house includes cooking ware (pots, pans, plates, utensils, baking dishes), but guests need to bring personal grocery items (seasonings, flour, sugar).

◆◆◆Community Information◆◆◆
We are located in a private gated community that requires a guest registration form for security and emergency purposes. The form will ask for full names and ages of each guest, as well as vehicle and driver information, including the main registrant's license ID number and the plate numbers of all vehicles entering the community. Names on the forms must match the legal ID of the driver.

◆◆◆Pet Rules◆◆◆
Keep Dogs Leashed: Dogs must be leashed at all times while outside.
No Overnight Outdoor Stays: Do not leave your dog outside overnight.
Clean Up After Your Dog: Please pick up after your dog when it goes potty.
Keep Pets Off Furniture: Please keep pets off human furniture.

◆◆◆Community Amenities◆◆◆
✦The community features two lakes, multiple swimming pools, basketball courts, tennis courts, a playground, mini golf, and more.
✦ The pools and beaches are open from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

✦Amenity badges are required to access any public amenities and can be purchased at the Main Administration Building for $12 per person, per day. Purchase is optional based on if you are going to use them.

✦We cannot guarantee that community amenities will be available during your stay. Availability and operating hours are determined by the association and may vary. Refunds will not be issued if amenities are unavailable due to reasons beyond our control, such as weather, staffing, or other circumstances.

◆◆◆Waterfront Disclaimer:◆◆◆
Our property offers direct access to the water for your enjoyment. Please note that use of the waterfront and any boats is at your own risk. There is no lifeguard on duty, and life jackets are not provided.

◆◆◆Fire Ban Disclaimer:◆◆◆
Please note that outdoor fires may be restricted during local fire bans, which can be enacted at any time due to weather conditions such as high winds or dry spells without notice. Guests are responsible for checking current fire regulations and adhering to all posted signage during their stay. During an active fire ban, use of the fire pit, outdoor fireplace, or any open flame is strictly prohibited. Violations may result in fines and immediate cancellation of your reservation without refund. We appreciate your cooperation in keeping the area safe from wildfire risks.

We ran into an issue with the heat and leveraged a propane fireplace which ran inconsistently. Neighbor was quite grumpy about dogs.Took 45 minutes to actually get checked in after a long ride.

The perfect week
The property is lovely. The view is incredible. We stayed for a whole week with a teenager and two 9yos. This has been one unusually warm Autumn so we were really able to enjoy the lake, and the community. Check in was smooth and fast. The place is peaceful and felt safe enough. Justin was an extraordinary host. Promptly responding to all my question and provided all instruction on a timely manner. We are already planning to get back in the summer!

Nice place
Overall our stay was fine. Upon arrival, we noticed the downstairs shower did not work. Management was notified, acknowledged the communication, but did not offer to fix the shower. So, we only had one shower for the stay. No reduced rate for such was offered either. Would have booked elsewhere if I would have known this upfront.

Just what we needed
Our stay was awesome! Super easy to communicate with the owner. House was very clean and stocked with all the essentials. Great access to the lake and kayaks were provided which was nice. Came with the intent of not having to go anywhere. Mission accomplished. Will definitely be in touch next time we need a quiet get away.

Wonderful family gateway!
This place is perfect for a family gateway. Host was very communicative, you have all accommodations needed on the spot. The place provides kayaks as well, and although it rained through our stay, we still enjoyed kayaking as the water was warm and the overall aura was very welcoming! 10/10 would recommend :)

Great family place.
We stay in this community a lot but this was the first time on this lake. It was much quieter than the main lake and very peaceful. The house was great and so far has been our favorite place out of all of them. Would highly recommend.
