About the host
Hosted by Ian Maxwell
We’re Ian and John – two longtime friends who turned a shared love of travel, hospitality, and beautiful spaces into a passion project.
Ian lives in Italy with his fiancée and splits time between Europe and the U.S. John is based in Colorado with his wife, kids, and three dogs. Despite the miles, our families come together often, and the Poconos has become a favorite place for us to reconnect, recharge, and enjoy nature.
We created this home to be the kind of place we’d want to stay ourselves: peaceful, fun, and family-friendly, with thoughtful touches throughout. Hosting is our way of sharing that experience – and helping others make special memories, too.
We’re honored to welcome you to our home away from home.

Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this neighborhood because it offers the perfect mix of peace, nature, and fun. Nestled right across from Dresser Lake, the views are incredible — especially in the early morning with a cup of coffee or at sunset by the fire pit.
What we enjoy most is how much there is to do without ever getting in the car. In the summer, you can walk to community pools, the beachfront, parks, and even mini golf. In winter, it becomes a cozy retreat after a day at nearby ski resorts.
It’s quiet, safe, and family-friendly – a place where you can truly slow down and enjoy time together.

What makes this property unique
What sets our home apart is the feeling it gives you the moment you walk in – cozy, inviting, and thoughtfully designed for connection. Whether you're soaking in the hot tub under the stars, playing Mario Kart on the Nintendo Switch, or enjoying morning coffee with a lake view, there’s something for every generation to love.
We’ve made sure every room is comfortable and well-equipped – from Smart TVs and plush beds to baby-friendly amenities and a fully stocked kitchen. The layout is perfect for families or groups, with just the right balance of shared spaces and private corners.
And the best part? You’re steps from the lake, minutes from top attractions, and surrounded by the kind of peace you can only get in nature.
