A waterfront home in the Pocono Pines – yes please. Huge windows make it feel like you’re in the middle of the forest, though you’ll be able to pay for access to a premium club nearby, where you can golf, swim and play tennis – you get the peace of the wilderness with the amenities of a resort. This home also has its own dock on the pond, and you’ll have access to a canoe, boat and kayak to explore with. The hot tub, fire pit and barbecue make the deck all the more tempting, but if the weather isn’t playing ball there’s always the enclosed porch or fireplace. The games loft ensures teens will have nothing to complain about either. Home truths: *There’s free parking for up to three cars *This home is not suitable for infants under 2 years *Two guests can be accommodated on a sofa bed in the games loft *Bedroom three has two bunk beds with double beds on the bottom and a single bed on the top *This home is spread over two floors so may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility *Your host kindly asks you to respect the quiet hours from 10pm-8am and not to wear shoes indoors *There are desks if you need to catch up on work *The dining table has eight seats, so at full occupancy all guests won’t be able to dine together – there are two seats at the breakfast bar though *The private dock on the pond is open from April to mid-October *The minimum booking age is 25
