About the host
Hosted by Vanesa Treers
Hi there! My name is Vanesa Treers and my family has owned this vacation home for 2 years. We fell in love with the Poconos in 2020 during an extended pandemic-era stay and feel blessed to have found this property.
Originally from Colombia, I have also lived in the UK and now here in the US for the past 12 years. I live in Brooklyn with my husband, our two teenaged kids and our Wheaton Terrier, Sasha.
My hobbies include skiing, yoga and decorating. I am passionate about women’s rights and I am a United Nations representative for a large charity. I speak English and Spanish and look forward to welcoming you to stay.

Why they chose this property
We enjoy home improvement and ensuring that the property is always in the best possible condition for guests. We rent the house about half the time and our family uses it ourselves for the remainder of the time. So the house is not a full-time investment property, and hopefully you will notice the difference in terms of the quality of furnishing and attention to detail.
It’s great that other families get to enjoy the house when we aren’t able to use it ourselves. Being a Vrbo host has helped us to fund various improvements to the house, such as the new private sandy beach and hardscaping.

What makes this property unique
We searched high and low for this property in the Poconos, where modern newbuild lakefront properties are rare. The huge range of family activities and relaxed, friendly vibe of the community made us sure we'd found the right place. We haven't seen any bears yet in Bear Creek but we are keeping our eyes peeled!
My husband JT helps me to manage the property. During your stay we will assume that you prefer privacy, but will be easy to reach though the Vrbo app. We live in Brooklyn but are up at the house frequently to ensure it is in the best possible condition for guests. Most things that arise can be dealt with remotely, but we have a local handyman who can assist with any other issues.
We know the local area well are very happy to offer advice about activities for your family – don’t hesitate to reach out with questions!
