Guests will receive 8 wristbands upon arrival for registering with the community. This provides access to beaches, trash removal, clubhouse activities, and parking. Wristbands are for guests 12 years of age and older (bands not required under 12). Additional wristbands may be purchased for $9 per day, and any lost wristbands will need to be replaced for $25.

Sheets and towels are provided. Please do not take house towels to the beach. We also have sleds for the neighborhood sledding hill, 2 kids kayaks, a paddle board, 2 adult kayaks, floats, beach toys, 6 Tommy Bahama beach chairs, and life vests.

COMMUNITY: Guests will be required to register each person 12 years of age and older as well as vehicle(s) on our community's website at least 2 days prior to arrival. The cost is $35 (included in booking) and includes access to beaches, fishing, trash removal, clubhouse activities, and parking.

TRASH: There is no trash pickup service in the community. Guests will be required to bring all trash and recycling to the compactors, which is a 3 minute drive from the house. You will need to have registered with the front office prior to using the compacters.

AMENITIES: We do our best to keep all appliances operational and send maintenance as quickly as possible. And although we have a 99% success rate with our hot tub, it is not guaranteed for your stay. Hot tub users should be clean before using it. Going from the lake right into the hot tub will most likely contaminate the hot tub and lead to rashes.

HOT TUB: Also, the hot tub is cleaned after every stay. When using the hot tub, put the cover into the arm bracket on the side of the hot tub by pushing from the center or using two people, this will prevent the bracket from breaking. When not using the hot tub, always replace the cover to keep the water warmer and to prevent unnecessary evaporation. If the water line is below the jets, please use the hose to fill it back up for proper operation and to prevent the jet motors from burning out.

FISHING: A valid PA fishing license is also required to fish in any body of water in PA.

It can be obtained online or at the local Pocono Boat House on Rt 940.
