Property Description

This is not a drive-by! Motivated sellers! 100% financing available for qualified owner-occupied buyers with USDA Financing, including some renovations. Located in a desirable Pocono setting, this spacious chalet presents a compelling opportunity for those looking to invest in a short-term rental property with strong year-round appeal. Its expanded A-frame design, soaring ceilings, and sun-filled interior create the warm, inviting atmosphere today’s guests seek when booking a getaway. The community features several amenities: a 195-acre lake with a beach for boating, swimming, and fishing; tennis and pickleball courts; a bocce court and horseshoe pits; basketball courts; and a marina area for launching owner-registered boats. A convenient trash and recycling drop-off area is open 365 days a year. The home’s flexible layout is well-suited for hosting groups, offering multiple living and sleeping areas that can comfortably accommodate a variety of guest configurations. The open-concept living room with cathedral ceilings provides a central gathering space, while the large eat-in kitchen allows for easy entertaining—both key features that enhance guest experience and booking potential. As a rental, the property's current characteristics allow up to a 10-person nightly occupancy. As a non-rental, the property may be occupied by more than 10 people overnight. Outdoor living is equally appealing, with a covered patio that lets guests enjoy the space in any weather and a wraparound deck that expands the usable living area. The covered patio is a perfect location for a hot tub, offering shelter from the weather and a touch of privacy. Thoughtful features like these help create memorable stays, encouraging repeat bookings and positive reviews. The interior flow is functional and practical, with first-floor bedrooms and a full bath providing convenience, while the upper level expands the home’s versatility. The private upper-level main bedroom with rear balcony offers a quiet retreat, and the expansive loft—overlooking the main living area—can serve as additional sleeping quarters, entertainment space, or a flexible bonus area to maximize occupancy. With solid bones and room for cosmetic updates, this property offers the opportunity to enhance value and tailor the design to today’s rental market, potentially increasing rental appeal to offset your costs. A modest reconfiguration of the immense upper level could allow up to two additional bedrooms, but would require increasing the septic capacity if the home is rented. Whether used exclusively as an investment or enjoyed personally while generating income when not in use, this property offers a smart combination of comfort, flexibility, and earning potential in a popular vacation destination. The location near the township-maintained road ensures quick attention to plowing for travel in the Winter season.
