About the host
Hosted by Daniel Jost
Hi I’m Dan, welcome to my Vrbo listing for our private spacious hideaway in the Pocono Mountains. I’m a lifelong touring guitarist and singer, have released several albums, and have been teaching guitar and voice for over 25 years. I am a father of 2 boys and live with them and my wife in South NJ. I enjoy treating guests like old friends and making sure you have a great time and experience!
Why they chose this property
Oversized private lot with plenty of trees and solitude. The neighborhood and surrounding community is very safe, private, and well cared for, but is also conveniently located to shopping centers.
What makes this property unique
Our oversized lot is a special rarity in the Big Bass Lake community, offering a much larger outdoor private space versus other homes in the area with smaller outdoor accommodations.
