Hi everyone. Thought I'd throw this out there. My retired parents are looking to purchase a vacation home in the Poconos, PA. Although we've visited there several times and love the area, we don't have much else to go on as far as the different towns/areas. Ideally, they'd like a good size home with at least 4 bedrooms and a loft or basement area for the grandchildren. Having it on a lake or very near a lake would be perfect. We'd also like to be somewhat secluded (as in not in a development) but near things to do. Nobody skiis so we don't need to be near that. Maybe near a quaint town and some nice restaurants.

Does anyone own a home in that area and can advise some nice towns to zero in on? Thanks in advance.

What can I do next?

Hi,
My parents do own in a development, but it's very small and it's fantastic. It's Circle Green in Paupack, PA. They wanted it in development so we wouldn't have to worry about snow removal. We have full lake views, a spot for our boat, a pool, etc. We have 2 decks, 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. It's on Lake Wallenpaupack. The nearby town is Hawley and it's very cute with nice shops.
I have also stayed in homes in Big Bass Lake in Gouldsboro, PA It's also very nice.

Stay out of Pike county and East Stroudsburg those areas are getting really congested.
