This East Stroudsburg property leverages a three-level floor plan to create distinct activity zones while maintaining visual connectivity across 5 bedrooms accommodating 12 guests. The architectural approach distributes programming vertically with strategic sightlines: ground-level game room immediately visible upon entry, second-level primary living and master suite, and third-level private sleeping quarters with poker lounge overlook creating dramatic double-height volume to the main living space below. This vertical stacking required careful acoustic planning to prevent sound transmission between entertainment and sleeping zones while maintaining the open, connected aesthetic that photographs well and enhances the sense of space. The bedroom distribution places a queen suite and quad-bunk room on the ground level for families with children, the master king suite with seating area on level two, and two additional king bedrooms on the top floor providing adult retreat spaces.
The game room represents the property's signature design element, occupying prime ground-floor real estate with comprehensive equipment integration including regulation pool table, ping pong conversion surface, pop-a-shot basketball, foosball, air hockey, shuffleboard, multiple arcade stations, and smart TV entertainment. This high-density game room required substantial electrical infrastructure, strategic equipment placement for simultaneous multi-user access, and durable flooring solutions. The third-level poker table installation overlooks the main living room through architectural openings, creating visual drama and providing an elevated vantage point for card games while remaining connected to household activity below. The modern kitchen features new stainless steel appliances and flows into a 10-seat dining room, with additional capacity through a screened-in porch accommodating 6 guests and back deck dining for 10 more, creating flexible meal service options across indoor/outdoor zones.
The outdoor design centers on a heated pool operating June through August as the property's primary warm-weather amenity, surrounded by sun loungers and integrated into a comprehensive backyard activity campus. A regulation pickleball court provides dedicated sports programming (seasonal availability due to ice safety), while the hot tub operates year-round with mountain views. Supporting amenities include fire pit with gathering seating, mini golf course, lawn bowling, jungle gym with slide for children, oversized Connect 4, BBQ facilities, and layered outdoor lounge and dining furniture creating distinct conversation and entertainment zones. The seasonal nature of pool and pickleball operations required photography documentation across multiple seasons to demonstrate four-season value and winter alternative activities.
The three-bathroom layout strategically places facilities on each level with the ground floor featuring walk-in shower plus dual washer/dryer integration (a critical amenity for group rentals), the second level master bath showcasing both walk-in shower and separate soaking tub, and the third level offering shower/tub combo. Material selections emphasize modern finishes with contemporary color palettes, clean-lined cabinetry, and smart home technology integration including keyless entry and distributed TV systems in every bedroom. The property earned Guest Favorite designation and 4.92-star rating across 51 reviews, with guests consistently praising the entertainment infrastructure density and the vertical spatial organization that allows large groups to spread across levels while maintaining connection through architectural openings and strategic sightlines. The gated community location provides additional seasonal amenity access to lakes, community pools, and sports courts, requiring comprehensive lifestyle photography showing both private and shared facility usage patterns.
