there is a nearby shliach that has a contract with some of the pocono hotels to deliver pre-ordered kosher (freshly made) food. would highly recommend!

Can you please share his info,

Shabbos Hagodol in Villas at Treetops & Fairway.

Yeshiva Week had well over 3 minyanim for Shabbos. We'd love to go up again for Shabbos HaGodol, and have the house stay clean for Pesach.
Anyone else going up then?

We are 6 men so far for a Minyan.

Staying in an airbnb in Saw Creek Estates (near Bushkill/Camelback in pennsylania, city called Tannersvylle, not to be confised with the NY frum town) with 4 families June 25 shabbos, can bring a torah, anyone planning to be around there to complete our minyan? lots of nice houses for rent on airbnb...

Circle drive in (if you do theaters, weekends only). Bowling. Shopping in Dixon City.
Kalhari is close, but its a water park.
If your by yourself I might be able to lend you a kayak 25 minutes away (in chapmanslake).

In all seriousness though, you need to be a bit more specific about what you're looking for or at least what age group you are looking to entertain. If it's kids, the Claws N Paws zoo is a great place for half a day or more. Lehigh has batting cages, go carts, mini golf, etc. The Lackawanna coal mines are an interesting place to visit too. There's alpine slides at Camelback and hiking at Bushkill a bit farther away.

This is my biggest complaint about these sights. I don't know of a way to actually sort by private pool, despite it being a quantifiable property listed in the amenities. The vast majority of the places you see when you search the Poconos and filter by pool are actually 'community pools'. They should have a way to drill down to 'private pool', which is a separate type listed in the amenities.

old problem. i even called them out on it but they said they took away the ability to search by keyword which would have helped. regardless, i have a bunch of private pool properties in my wish list which i can share if youre interested

Sure! Post 'em here or PM me.

We're looking to go away 8/28-8/31. We've more or less settled on the Poconos area. I originally planned on coming up with an itinerary of activities, and then choosing a rental based on that, but for the right rental I'd reverse that process :-)
