Highest and best due Sunday (7/5). Welcome to 1744 Stag Run -- a one-of-a-kind log-sided cabin in Locust Lake Village with a proven short-term rental track record, a 4.91 Airbnb rating across 45 reviews, and $60,000 in revenue over less than a year.
The layout does the selling for you. Over 3,000 sq ft of finished living space includes a sun-drenched main-floor living and dining room, a large modern kitchen, and a massive 24×20 game room downstairs with a pool table, poker table, and dual screens. A hidden-door speakeasy bar with a walkout slider connects the party indoors to the backyard oasis. An interior slide makes getting downstairs the highlight of every stay -- kids and adults love it equally.
Tongue-and-groove wood ceilings and log-sided exterior deliver the authentic Pocono cabin feel guests are searching for. Hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and designer bathroom finishes round out the interiors.
Outside, the lot backs directly to Pennsylvania state game lands -- no rear neighbors, permanent wooded privacy, and greenspace that money can't buy. The backyard features a hot tub, fire pit with 12 Adirondack chairs, two grills, and a large shaded yard perfect for families. Two kayaks are included with access to Pine Lake and Locust Lake.
All the infrastructure work is done. Brand-new 5-bedroom septic system. Recently installed ductless mini-split HVAC throughout -- zoned, energy-efficient, and guest-approved year-round. Updated bathrooms with double showers and vanities. This is a move-in, list-it, earn-on-day-one property.
Locust Lake Village is one of the few Pocono communities that permits STRs, with low fees and amenities including lake access and tennis. Situated between three ski resorts and 90 minutes from NYC, demand is consistent for all four seasons.
The upside is real: the current performance is built on layout alone - new furnishings, updated design, and expanded backyard amenities could make this a premier property for a new owner
