MONROE COUNTY · TOBYHANNA TOWNSHIP · POCONO PINES
Pinecrest Lake Golf and Country Club is a private residential resort community in Pocono Pines, Tobyhanna Township, Monroe County, set just off Route 940 in a park-like mountain setting. Every home is privately owned, and the community runs as a membership club, so ownership comes with club membership and full access to the amenity package. At its center is a 77-acre private lake, and the recreation around it is genuinely resort-scale rather than the lighter amenity mix found in many vacation communities. Members and their guests use a swim club with an outdoor heated pool and snack bar (a newly built pool opened in 2025), a lake beach with kayak, canoe, and paddleboat use on the lake, a tennis club with eight Har-Tru courts and a pro shop, an 18-hole golf course with its own pro shop and driving range, and a mountain lodge clubhouse with a full-service dining room and bar. A fitness center, walking and cross-country trails, an ice-skating pond, and winter activities round out the year-round picture. One practical advantage stands out: the community trust covers full exterior maintenance, including lawn care, snow removal, landscaping, and trash, and the homes are served by public water and sewer with 24-hour roaming security, a level of service most surrounding communities do not provide.
⚠ STR Restricted — STR Capped at 10% of Homes + 1-Week Minimum
Short-term rentals are allowed at Pinecrest Lake, but they are capped. The community operates under a trust, and a 2025 Trustee decree limits short-term rentals to 10 percent of the homes, a maximum of 34, with a one-week minimum stay (or one rental per week). Because that cap can be full, a buyer cannot assume a particular home is eligible to operate as a short-term rental. Anyone buying for rental use should confirm in writing with the Trustee office whether a short-term rental slot is currently available before purchasing.
