Heronwood Retreat sits inside Penn Estates, a gated community with 24/7 security, so everyone staying must be listed on the community registration form before arrival. See below for the deadline.

Good to know: this home's private amenities are the only ones available during your stay. Guests do not have access to Penn Estates community amenities such as the lakes, beaches, pools or clubhouse.



The Neighborhood:

Penn Estates is central to the best of the Poconos, close to ski resorts, water parks, the Crossings Premium Outlets, Mount Airy Casino and Pocono Raceway. The setting is quiet and wooded, with everything you need a short drive away.



Getting Around:

Getting around is easiest with a car, as most attractions, dining and shops in East Stroudsburg are a short drive away. We recommend a vehicle for your stay.

POOL, HOT TUB & SAUNA

The hot tub and wood barrel sauna are open year-round. The pool is seasonal, typically opening in April and closing in October. Because the dates depend on the weather, pool availability in April and October cannot be guaranteed and does not qualify for a partial refund. If you're traveling in a shoulder-season month and the pool matters to your trip, message us before booking and we'll confirm its status.



The pool is not heated unless heating is purchased. Heating is offered June through September, targets 80-82°F, and applies to your entire stay once selected. The system has no remote, so our team activates it on site before arrival. Please request at least 48 hours in advance.



When the pool is open, please leave the floating chlorine dispenser in the water at all times. It keeps the pool sanitized, and if it's removed the chlorine level drops quickly and the pool can become unusable for the rest of your stay. Keep glass out of the pool, hot tub, and sauna areas, and please don't add anything to the water.



There is no lifeguard on duty. With multiple water features on the property, please supervise children at all times.



PLUMBING

The home is on septic, so please flush only toilet paper. Wipes, feminine products, and other items can clog the system.



STARTER SUPPLIES

We provide a complimentary starter supply of toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, dish soap, and hand soap. These are meant to get you started rather than last the full stay, so please pick up extras if you run out.



QUIET HOURS

Quiet hours are 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM daily. Please keep music and voices low, indoors and out.



ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE

Check-in: after 4:00 PM

Check-out: by 10:00 AM

Early check-in and late checkout may be available on request, subject to availability and the fees above.



SMOKING, PARTIES & NOISE

This is a smoke-free home, indoors and in all enclosed spaces, including vaping and cannabis. Parties and events are not permitted. The home uses noise and smoke detection sensors that measure sound and air quality only and do not record audio.



SECURITY CAMERAS

Exterior cameras cover the front door, parking area, pool, and pool equipment. There are no cameras inside the home.



PETS

Well-behaved furry family members are welcome. Please add your pets to your reservation before arrival so we can prepare the home.



HOUSE RULES

House rule violations are charged to the guest along with an administrative fee, and any fine issued by the township, county, or community association is passed through in full. Full terms are in the Rental Usage and Liability Agreement every guest signs before check-in.



PROPERTY REGISTRATION

Stroud Township short-term rental permit number 260142.
