IF RENTING LAST MINUTE, SEE SPECIAL DEALS BELOW.
Escape to this spacious 3 floor chalet in a secluded setting with no neighbors in the front, back or on either side. This property is used by the Owner and his family 'frequently' so it has many nice touches that you wouldn't normally find in a rental property. It features 4 bedrooms (which includes the huge sleeping loft) to accommodate 8 adults/children very comfortably*. For those who love the outdoors and want a getaway from the business of life, this is the place for you. This home offers a breathtaking view of nature from the large deck. There is nothing to interrupt this picture perfect view, however, a short walk allows you to swim at the community lakes, play tennis, socialize at the clubhouse, or even ski at the community ski slope. This is the best of both worlds...a quiet getaway that is close to many amenities. Smoking is NOT permitted inside the house.
1ST FLOOR layout: there is a separate family room on the 1st floor to watch TV, listen to the full stereo (CD & cassette), or play pool. There is also a bar area to enjoy a cocktail (or 2 or 3...) and a pub table with stools...for that friendly pub look (see photo#4). There is a new ceramic tile floor throughout. There is also a second full bathroom!
2ND FLOOR layout: this is the MAIN Floor with new hardwood floors and a Cathedral ceiling with exposed wood beams giving it the real chalet look and feel. It offers warmth and coziness with its open floor plan between the kitchen, dining room, and living room; living room has a large ceiling fan, gas fireplace and a leather sofa & loveseat; Full bath; walk out to a large wraparound deck with two exit points; 3 Bedrooms (two with Full beds and one with 2 twin beds); all Bedrooms have ceiling fans!
3RD FLOOR layout: HUGE loft (the 4th bedroom) with King bed, ceiling fan PLUS a futon (to sleep 4). A beautiful warm and cozy room to lie down in bed and watch the snow falling. And if you have little kids that need to be close by at night, the futon comes in real handy.
The home also has all of the modern conveniences you are accustomed to at your own home, that includes: dishwasher, refrigerators(2), microwave, TVs(2), DVD/VCR player, and CD/cassette Stereo. There is also a gas fireplace for the beauty of a real fire without the hassle of loading the wood! The home also features a home security system that is monitored 24x7 and a keyless entry. Home is within walking distance to East Lake and Pilgrim Lake. Pilgrim Lake is one of the larger swimming lakes with Lifeguards (for the summer months) and tennis courts across the street.

For activities, you can't beat Locust Lake Village. The village is a 4-season community with 24x7 security, 5 lakes, 3 stocked with fish, 3 with playgrounds, beaches and lifeguards. The fishing is excellent, named one of the best by the Gaming Commission. For the athletes, there is a baseball field, basketball court, tennis court, shuffleboard and bocce ball. And for those wishing to learn to ski or who have small children just starting, we have our own T-bar lift and lodge! During summer our full-time recreational department offers various fun activities for children and adults. They include arts & crafts, ceramics, softball games, tennis and swimming lessons, water games, pet shows, ice cream socials, cook-out/campfire nights, bingo, family movie nights, and organized trips. Village activities are available after obtaining "renters badges" from the office for a small fee. Only 15 minutes to either Camelback or Jack Frost/Big Boulder where you can enjoy snow tubing, snowboarding, skiing, skating, and snowmobiling.

Why the Owner Chose Locust Lakes Village
We always loved the Poconos for all year round enjoyment. Visiting this home is like being in a different world, away from all the monotony of home/work. I especially like this development with it's 5 lakes for great fishing and swimming. It is a very secure development and the people who work at LLV are extremely nice and helpfull.
The Unique Benefits at this Chalet
We enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds this place, including lots of wildlife. The property is very private with no direct neighbors to the left, right, in front or behind the property. We are also in a location that is central to so many local attractions that offer loads of fun for all four seasons. I enjoy mornings walks on the property or sitting on the large deck sipping coffee where you only hear the birds chirp.
Where you check-in and get information about what's going on at Locust Lake Village
Only .6 miles of a walk from the house. Lifeguarded beaches, tennis courts, picnic area and fishing too.
CVS, Fleamarket, WaWa, Dunkin Donutes, Gas station, Chat&Chew Restaurant, plus more all in this shopping center.
