About this property

FALL In Love With the Poconos! Great Location for Hunting, Hiking, and Relaxing

WELCOME TO OUR MOUNTAIN HOME.
Rent the entire house for less than a hotel room! Perfect for family vacations, hikers, skiers, hunters, adventure seekers, or for those who just want to get away from it all. If you are looking for a home that stands out from the crowd, is just the right size, and will be a memorable vacation for you and yours, read on!

Our cozy Chalet features a fully stocked kitchen with copper cookware and granite counter tops, wood burning stove, a 4K flat screen TV with complimentary access to Hulu and Netflix, and free WiFi for your convenience. The entire interior has been painted and updated and includes a laundry center. All you need to bring are your sheets and towels, along with any personal amenities. You will love the cozy privacy of the master bedroom, and kids both young and old will love the spacious sleeping loft upstairs which has a work station/desk which can allow guest to work with a great view of the game lands! The living area features plush leather sofas and a beautiful vaulted pine paneled ceiling with recessed spotlights and skylights. Outdoors, we have one of the few backyards in the development which is cleared and big enough for outdoor games. There is a huge wraparound deck with teakwood chairs and table, a charcoal grill, and a fire pit with Adirondack chairs that was newly installed in 2022.

Our location simply cannot be beat for the price, as we are less than a five minute walk to the best beach on the largest lake in the development. We are also centrally located to most major Pocono attractions. In addition, the community of Locust Lake Village has much to offer. Spend the day boating, swimming, and sunning at Pines Lake beach, or step outside your back door and into over 25,000 acres of nature in state game lands #127. There are four lakes with lifeguards, concession stands, bathrooms and playgrounds are available as well as weekly activities. Basketball and tennis/pickleball courts, and baseball and soccer fields are nearby at East Lake. In the winter, enjoy the village's two ski slopes or the sledding hill. Wristbands are required and provided to you with your rental.

WE ARE YOUR FOUR SEASON GETAWAY
The summer brings with it all the Poconos has to offer, including cool evening temperatures and clear skies in the mountains. Lakes, rivers and waterparks are numerous. Adventure seekers will want to check out zip lining, whitewater rafting, and adventure courses. Concerts, festivals, and fireworks are constant in the area, and you have access to four lakes right here in our village. At night, relax at our fire pit and enjoy stargazing away from the city lights.

Beautiful colors and low crowds highlight the fall season. Check out the changing mountain scenery with tours, hikes, or train rides. Our chalet is a great base for hunting, boating and fishing excursions. You can spend your time touring nearby wineries, breweries and farmer's markets, or enjoy a walk right from your front door in rustic and beautiful Locust Lake Village.

Winter is the time when most people think about the Poconos. The village has its own ski slope and sledding hill, as well as ice skating and ice fishing when the lakes are frozen over. Or you can venture out to nearby Jack Frost, Big Boulder, Camelback, or other famous ski and tubing destinations. There are over 185 trails in the area. Check in at the village office when you arrive for wristbands, discounts, and current conditions. Then again, there's nothing wrong with building a fire in our soap stone stove and curling up under a big blanket with your favorite beverage!

Spring is perfect for wildlife watching, and a great time to rent while crowds and rates are low. Outdoor activities awaken with blooming foliage and moderate temperatures. It's a great time for hiking, biking, birdwatching, boating, picnics, and golf.
Spend a fall afternoon hiking or sightseeing and relax at night at our fire pit. The Chalet has everything you need for your family vacation.

There is so much to do year round in the Pocono Lake area. A short drive takes you to major ski resorts, championship golf, hiking, and adventure. Split Rock, Jack Frost, and the newly expanded Kalahari indoor water park are 15 minutes away. Experience the excitement of the Pocono Raceway, the Mt. Airy Casino, Camelback Resort or travel to Scranton or Wilkes Barre for sporting and cultural events. The area also features numerous farmers markets and antique shops, as well as outlet shopping.

Perfect weekend away!

My husband, 2 children (ages 3 & 4) and myself stayed at the Chalet for my birthday weekend & could not have been happier! We wanted a quiet get away & that’s exactly what we had! The house is beautifully decorated, quiet, cozy & secluded! Craig & Sue were extremely accommodating & quick to reply! We will definitely be back!

Excellent Family Getaway Rental

My wife and I made a last minute short getaway to the Poconos, and this chalet was the perfect fit. With seven beds there is plenty of room for a larger group, but we really enjoyed the cleanliness, amenities and overall cozy feel of this rental. Sue and Craig were very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. We hope to come back next summer.

Cabin in great area!

My experience was great renting this property, cabin looked exactly like the pictures and had everything we needed. The only thing we needed were our bedsheets and pillows. While on our stay we had 4 deer out in the woods laying down, later on in the day those same 4 deer actually got pretty close to us while on the deck which was very cool being up close and personal with the wildlife. We will definitely be back!

Perfect cozy getaway!

We loved staying here! The chalet is stocked well with plenty of cookware in the kitchen, games in the living room, and cozy blankets! We enjoyed time by the fireplace watching the snow fall. Loved how Sue and Craig decorated for Christmas. Working at a church, Christmas week is pretty chaotic, so my husband and I like to celebrate our Christmas before with a getaway to the Poconos. The Christmas tree, garland, and stockings made it feel like home! We’d love to stay again.

Cozy Chalet

Cozy Chalet is a perfect description of the home we stayed in. The house was perfect for our needs. The chalet was clean, well-equipped and so peaceful. I found the front deck area to be a perfect spot for enjoying the peace and quiet and getting some reading in. My teenage boys enjoyed the lakes, fishing and playing basketball. I would love to visit in the fall when the leaves are changing - I cannot imagine how beautiful it would be especially at sunset over the lakes.

So much better than a hotel

We stayed here for a family wedding in the area, instead of booking a hotel we were able to stay here for the same price. Only complaint was the broken couch facing the tv (nearly fall to the floor when sat on). Everything else worked exactly as expected. House was clean and the privacy was very nice. Other houses are nearby but it was very quiet neighborhood. We would certainly choose to stay again if we are in the area.

Great Chalet close walking distance to the lake and fishing. We had long walks with our dog we had brought along this time. We had enjoyed the lake during day was extremely warm for our stay and used the grill at night. We did need to buy fans it was in the beginning of the week extremely humid, end of the week it cooled off.

About the host

Hosted by Craig and Sue Snyder

Host profile image
Craig and Sue Snyder live in Garnet Valley, PA. We are both music teachers who enjoy the outdoors.

Why they chose this property

We always wanted a place in the mountains where we could hike, golf, kayak, and most importantly, just relax. This property is perfect for us and we hope it will be perfect for your vacation. We have renovated the chalet from top to bottom and continue to make improvements.

What makes this property unique

This home could not be in a better location in the village. For families, being able to walk to the beach on the largest lake in the development is amazingly convenient. For hunters, you are able to step right off the property into the state game lands. And for skiers, the village boasts two private slopes as well as proximity to the greatest skiing in the Poconos.

But it's the property itself that is the real attraction. The pine paneled ceiling with its recessed lighting and skylights creates that "vacation home" feeling as soon as you walk in. The main room is a wonderful place to gather and play board games. The sleeping loft is great for the kids, while the adults can enjoy the privacy of two downstairs bedrooms. Our kitchen has all the conveniences of home, and you can do your laundry right on the premises.

Outside, we are proud to have one of the few grass backyards in the development, with room to throw the ball or frisbee around. Our fire pit is yours to use (wood not provided) and includes 8 Adirondack chairs. The deck is a great place to relax and eat your meals in the crisp mountain air. Sit outside in the early morning or dusk and catch a glimpse of white tailed deer in the woods, or just enjoy the absence of lawn mowers, street and air traffic, air conditioners, and other noisemakers that invade our lives. When you spend your vacation at our chalet, you will only notice the quiet, the fresh air, and your proximity to nature.
