GUEST ACCESS
You have the whole house to yourselves, plus both screened porches and the backyard. Self check-in with the smart lock on the front door. Park up to 6 cars in the driveway only; the Tesla Level 2 charger and 50 amp outlet charge one EV at a time. Security cameras cover the front door and the driveway. Emerald Lakes staff may ask for ID at the gate, and the pools, beach and lake need an amenity pass we help you set up after booking.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Kalahari's indoor waterpark is a 7-min drive, so a rainy fall day still ends in slides and a lazy river. Emerald Lakes is a wooded lake community with its own beach, lake and playground. Pine Tree Lake, with swimming and a playground on your amenity badge, is about a 5-minute walk. Our fall picks: Camelback Mountain Adventures (14-min drive), Mount Airy Casino Resort and its golf course (15-min drive), Great Wolf Lodge, Pocono Raceway and The Crossings Premium Outlets, each under 9 miles away. Community rules are real here: amenity passes, a 25 mph limit and registered cars.

GETTING AROUND
Everything we recommend is a short drive: Kalahari 7 minutes, Camelback 14, Mount Airy 15, with restaurants and groceries close by. Park up to 6 cars in the driveway; the Tesla Level 2 charger and 50 amp outlet charge one EV at a time. The community speed limit is 25 mph and cars must display the association ID.

GOOD TO KNOW
- Community gate: staff may ask for ID on arrival.
- Pools, beach and lake need an Emerald Lakes amenity pass; fishing also needs a PA license and an ELA permit.
- Outdoor pool closed for the season; heated indoor pool open set hours.
- Burn bans can pause the fire pit; we alert you.
- Security cameras cover the front door and the driveway.
- Stairs: 4 kings upstairs, theater in the attic; 2 queens on the ground floor.
- Driveway parking for 6 cars only.
- Quiet hours 10pm to 8am. No pets, smoking or fireworks.
- Check-in 4pm, check-out 10am.
- Please be aware that a Burn Ban may be announced at any time by the community. While the fire pit is one of the key highlights of this property, it’s crucial to follow all burn ban regulations strictly. Failure to do so may result in fines from the community, which guests will be responsible for. We will keep you informed in real time should any such announcements occur during your stay.
- You need Emerald Lakes amenity passes to use the community amenities; you can buy them online using your cell phone. We will send a QR code with a link to the app after your booking is confirmed.
- Amenity pass fees per person (current as of March 2025): $20 for a 1-day pass, $30 for a 3-day pass, or $50 for a 7-day pass. The fee is not included in your booking. You can purchase the pass either on the app or at the welcome desk. Children aged 2 and under are free of charge.
- Pine Tree Lake is a short walk (5 minutes) from the house. Access to swim and use the playground is included in your amenities badge.
- Please note that the distances and travel times provided are approximate estimates based on Google Maps. Actual travel times may vary depending on traffic, weather, road conditions, and the route taken.
- You can rent a boat or bring your own to go fishing on the lake. If using your boat, you will be asked to pay a $15 registration fee. Please note that only electric boats are permitted; no gas motors are allowed.
- The lake is home to plenty of bass and other fish. Please note that fishing in PA is subject to a fishing license, which costs about $30. Application for a license can be made on the PA Fish & Boat Commission website. Catch and release only.
- The booking party must be at least 25 years old and must be present at the home throughout the stay.
- Township Registration #- 006448
- For VRBO or direct bookings, please note that even if a cancellation qualifies under the cancellation policy, the 10% payment processing fee is non-refundable. This is due to the fact that we use external payment processors like Stripe, which do not refund processing fees.
