The space 4 SEASONS AT THE POOL ESTATE 🌸 Spring — The pool opens mid-April, and five private acres wake up before the Poconos crowds arrive. Hot tub runs year-round. ☀️ Summer — Water slide, pool days, hot tub nights, fire pit evenings. Kalahari is 11 minutes if the group wants more water. This is the house people book for a full week and still don't want to leave. Week-long and extended stays are available throughout summer — and honestly, a weekend isn't enough to do this place justice. Summer books months in advance. Don't wait. 🍂 Fall — Five private acres of Pocono foliage, the hot tub in the crisp fall air, the game room running every night. The pool stays heated well into fall for the group that plans ahead. ❄️ Winter — Camelback ski resort is 20 minutes away. Come back to the fireplace, the Jacuzzi, and the power recliner game room after a day on the slopes. Off-peak weekday rates available — ask about pricing.

Check-in: 4:00 PM | Check-out: 11:00 AM | Self check-in via smart lock OUR PROPERTY: THE POOL, SLIDE & OUTDOOR SETUP The centerpiece is the large heated in-ground pool with water slide — open April 17 through October 17 and surrounded by an outdoor space built for a group this size. The 7-person hot tub runs year-round with views across the backyard. Five private acres means no shared fences, no strangers walking through, and room for everyone to spread out. The gas Weber grill, fire pit, and outdoor seating fill out a backyard that handles everything from a slow Saturday afternoon to a proper evening under the stars. Pool propane heating costs are not included before Memorial Day or after Labor Day — ask us for rates. We can turn the pool heater on remotely within minutes of your request. THE GAME ROOM The converted garage is the room guests keep coming back to. Regulation pool table, poker and game table, arcade machine, and a couch that seats 12 with multiple power recliners — all anchored by an 86" TV. It sits on its own level, fully separate from the sleeping areas, so it can run as late as the group needs it to without disturbing anyone. THE MASTER SUITE The lower-level master suite is the most talked-about room in the house. King bed, walk-in closet, 55" TV — and a bathroom guests call a highlight of the entire stay: Jacuzzi tub, separate shower, and heated floors. THE KITCHEN This is not a typical Airbnb kitchen. Guests consistently tell us it's the best-stocked kitchen they've found in years of Airbnb travel. Full spice rack, pots and pans for serious group cooking. Two separate dining areas — one seats 10, the other seats 12 — so the full group eats together, or two meals happen at the same time. Built for multi-day stays. Whether you're here for a weekend or a full week, the kitchen handles real cooking — not just coffee and takeout. No Target runs. No missing the one pan you needed. THE SUNROOM A dedicated sunroom with seating for 6 and an Echelon exercise bike. Whether it's a morning workout, a quiet space to decompress, or a spot to watch the backyard while the rest of the house sleeps in, it's here and ready. SLEEPING & INDOOR COMFORT 4,500 square feet across two levels, laid out so the group has room to spread out without losing each other. Upper Level: • Master Bedroom #2: king bed, 50" TV. • Bedroom #2: 2 queen beds, 40" TV, walk-in closet • Loft Bedroom #3: full bed + full pull-out sofa • Full bathroom Main/Lower Level: • Master Bedroom #1: king bed, 55" TV, walk-in closet, en-suite bath with Jacuzzi tub + heated floors • Bedroom #5: 2 queen beds, 55" TV • Main living room: gas fireplace, 75" TV, sofa bed • Sunken living room off the kitchen • Lower-level half bathroom • Laundry/mud room 7 Roku sets throughout — stream music, shows, and movies on every screen. All bath towels, pool towels, and bed linens provided. FAMILIES WITH KIDS Purpose-built for the trip that spans every age at once. The water slide handles the kids from the moment you arrive. The loft bedroom is the natural kid zone. The game room runs all night on its own level without waking anyone up. The Jacuzzi and hot tub are the adults' retreat. Safety gates at the staircase, deck, and pool area. Baby gear — cribs, pack-n-plays, highchairs — available on request, just mention it before arrival. YOUR HOST — EUGENE My wife and I have been vacationing in the Poconos for years and fell in love with it. We have been hosting for 9 years now. Every stay at this property is managed by us directly — not a property management company, not an automated system. And with children of our own, we understand the challenges of looking for kid-friendly rentals. Several guests have come back to this property year after year. That's the standard I hold every stay to. "Eugene is one of the best hosts I've worked with — goes ABOVE & BEYOND to ensure your stay is great." — Dominic, NYC "Eugene is what every Airbnb host should be — responsive and helpful without being overbearing." — Debbie, NJ "From the welcome call to our final message after check-out, working with Eugene was wonderful." — Donyale, Florida Here's what that looks like in practice: • I respond to every message within the hour, around the clock • We can turn the pool heater on remotely within minutes of your text • If something needs attention during your stay, I handle it the same day — guests have had repair crews sent on holidays, extra highchairs delivered the same night, and salt shipped to the house for an icy driveway within hours • I offer a quick call before arrival — most guests say it makes the trip smoother • I send a personal local guide with restaurant and activity picks when you book • We're flexible on check-in and check-out whenever the calendar allows — just ask WHAT GUESTS SAY "Eugene is probably the best Airbnb host I've ever had. Extremely accommodating, flexible, and overall, a pleasure. The house was like staying in a hotel — just about everything you could need, and it was CLEAN." — Matt, 10 months on Airbnb "This is the second time our group of friends has stayed at this house. Both times have been an amazing experience." — Arvie, Philadelphia "Eugene was super communicative and helpful without being overbearing. We decided we wanted to turn the pool heater on and Eugene turned it on remotely within 5 minutes of me texting him. I cannot recommend this property enough." — Debbie, Metuchen NJ "The place was spotless and the backyard is perfect for entertaining a group. And I cannot say enough about the master suite — wow!" — Yankel, Lakewood NJ "Even though the weather was in the 50s, the pool was heated enough for the kids to spend over 6 hours a day in the pool and hot tub." — Joe, 13 years on Airbnb "Our grandchildren could play in the morning and you didn't hear them, allowing the adults to sleep in — and at night the adults could make as much noise as they wanted and did not wake up the kids." — Ashi, 5 years on Airbnb "From the oversized bedroom to the luxurious bathroom with heated floors, no expense was spared." — Yankel, Lakewood NJ "The primary bathroom is a wonder to behold — with a heated fan in the ceiling and heated floors. Perfect for warming up after a dip in the pool." — Nithin, NYC "He literally thought of everything and provided it, down to the spices in the kitchen." — Mark, 3 years on Airbnb "House was large with a nice layout, beautifully decorated, very clean and comfortable for our family of 8 adults and 8 children ages 1–13. The heated pool and slide were awesome!!" — Thomas, Yonkers NY "The sunroom led to the outside deck which had a gate so little ones could safely be on their own." — Thomas, Yonkers NY Guest access Guests have access to the complete house and backyard
