The house was adorable and had plenty to offer. Our family wanted a closer to home vacay this year and Luxhome didnt disappoint. The neighbor was great and we were greeted my countless deer on our way in. The kids loved the pools/lake and playground. My family also couldn't stop talking about the mattresses and air units. Our first Pocono vacay was a success. Thank you Dee!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It truly means a lot to us. We're thrilled your family's first Poconos vacation was such a success and that everyone enjoyed the home, the Emerald Lakes amenities, and even the friendly deer that make the community so special! 😊 We're especially happy the mattresses and bedroom AC units kept everyone comfortable. We hope you made lots of great memories at the pools, lake, and playground, and had a chance to explore nearby attractions like Kalahari and everything the Poconos has to offer. Thank you for taking such great care of our home. It was a pleasure hosting your family, and we'd absolutely love to welcome you back to LuxHome Poconos for another getaway! Warmly, Dee 💕

We truly loved the place. It was clean, spacious, and pleasant.Everything worked as expected, and it was comfortable for our group of seven.Two people in our group have disabilities, and while they can walk up the stoop, we recommend having a (removable) ramp for additional accessibility.Other minor recommendations include non-slip mats for the showers and tub, extra towels for the pool/beach, and a clearer explanation of the property amenities, including pool/beach schedules, so people can better understand how to rent the property on certain days to take advantage of the kayak rentals.

Thank you so much, Rodrigo, for the wonderful 5-star review and thoughtful feedback! We’re so glad your group found the home clean, spacious, and comfortable, and enjoyed the backyard, fire pit, and grill. We especially appreciate your accessibility suggestions. We’ll be looking into adding a removable ramp, as the main floor offers a bedroom and full bathroom with access to the patio and hot tub area, as well as adding non-slip mats. We’ll also update our digital guidebook to make it easier for guests to plan around everything Emerald Lakes has to offer, including the pools, beaches, tennis and basketball courts, and seasonal boat rentals, along with nearby Kalahari. Thank you again for helping us make the home and guest experience even better. We’d love to welcome you back! Warmly, Dee

About the host

Hosted by Dee

Host profile image
I’m passionate about designing warm, welcoming homes where families can slow down, reconnect and enjoy time together. The home is set up with comfort, style and simplicity in mind… soft beds, easy check in, family friendly spaces and all the touches that make travel feel effortless. I care about clear communication, fast responses and a stay that feels cared for from the moment you arrive to the moment you head home.

Why they chose this property

This home gives your family the best of the Poconos without the usual travel headaches. You get a spacious, modern layout with a hot tub, sauna and arcade loft that keep everyone happy from day one. The location is unbeatable… minutes to Kalahari, close to Camelback for skiing and under 10 minutes to Pocono Raceway. It’s the perfect base for waterpark fun, snow days, trail exploring and big family adventures.

You also avoid the slow lines and delays that come with many gated communities. Check in is smooth and simple. No stopping at a front gate. No waiting in queues. Your vacation starts the moment you arrive.

With optional Emerald Lakes amenity passes, you get access to indoor and outdoor pools, lakes, beaches, sports courts and family friendly activities across the community. It adds a full resort style layer to your stay.

Families choose this property because it’s comfortable, stylish and easy. Everything is set up to help you relax, reconnect and make the most of your time together.

What makes this property unique

This home brings together the things families actually want on a Poconos trip… space to spread out, fun built into the house and real relaxation for adults. The loft has a fun game setup that keeps kids busy while the grownups settle into the hot tub or sauna. It’s the right balance of play and calm without feeling crowded or chaotic.

You’re also in a prime location. Kalahari is minutes away, Camelback is a quick drive for skiing and tubing, and Pocono Raceway is under ten minutes. Shorter drives mean more time enjoying your day and less time sitting in the car.

Another big win… no gated community lines or check in slowdowns. You drive straight to the property with no extra stops, no delays, no looping through visitor queues. Your vacation starts when you arrive.

With optional Emerald Lakes amenity passes, your stay gets a resort style lift. Indoor and outdoor pools, lake access, beaches, sports courts, walking paths and seasonal rentals all sit inside the community. It gives families endless things to do without leaving the neighborhood.

This property offers comfort, style and easy adventure in one place… a setup that makes family travel feel effortless.
