Welcome to Horizon Chalet, a spacious retreat designed to bring family and friends together in comfort and style. This home comfortably sleeps guests across six queen beds spread throughout three bedrooms, a versatile bonus room, and an open loft, giving everyone their own space to unwind after a day of adventure. Located near the scenic Emerald Lakes, this chalet blends cozy charm with modern amenities for an unforgettable stay.
On the main level, you’ll find the heart of the home: a warm and inviting living room with an oversized sofa, two chairs, and a wood-burning fireplace (please note, firewood is not provided). The open-concept layout flows seamlessly into a fully equipped kitchen and dining area, perfect for preparing meals and gathering together. A full bathroom with a tub and a private bedroom featuring a luxurious queen memory foam bed round out this level, offering both convenience and comfort.
Upstairs, the open-concept loft overlooks the living room below and features two additional queen beds, ideal for extra guests or family members who want to stay close to the action. A private master bedroom on this level offers a peaceful escape with its own queen memory foam bed, ensuring a restful night’s sleep away from the main living areas.
Head downstairs to discover the ultimate entertainment space. The game room is built for fun, featuring a pool table with a ping pong topper, a dartboard, and a classic Pacman/Galaga/Dig Dug arcade game, along with a 42” smart TV for movie nights or the big game. This level also includes a full bathroom with a shower, a third bedroom with a queen bed, and a bonus space offering yet another queen bed, perfect for larger groups needing extra sleeping arrangements.
The outdoor space is just as impressive as the interior. Step through the sliding glass door onto a covered porch and soak in the six-person hot tub, or gather around the raised paver fire pit in the well-maintained gravel area for cozy evenings under the stars. A grill on the deck makes outdoor dining easy, and from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, guests can also enjoy the private above-ground 24′ pool, the perfect complement to a day spent exploring nearby Emerald Lakes. Horizon Chalet truly has something for everyone, indoors and out.

◆◆◆Staying in the Pocono Mountains◆◆◆
If this is your first time visiting the Poconos, we want to ensure you understand what staying in the mountains entails. This house is nestled in the mountains, surrounded by trees and nature. As a result, you may encounter wildlife, as this is their home and we are merely guests. Wildlife may include flying insects, spiders, ants, squirrels, flying squirrels, mice, foxes, raccoons, opossums, skunks, snakes, turtles, coyotes, and black bears. Smaller creatures and insects can occasionally find their way inside depending on the outside conditions. We have monthly exterminator visits to minimize this, but being in the mountains, anything is possible.
Additionally, please note that the mountain infrastructure differs from that of the city. Small wind or rain storms can occasionally cause power or internet outages in specific areas, including our home. Power outages may affect the water supply as we are on wells and the well pumps need power to work. Usually, these outages are restored within 8-10 hours, which is a quick turnaround given the weather conditions. For outages lasting less than 24 hours, no refund or compensation will be provided. For outages exceeding 24 hours, compensation will be issued on a case-by-case basis.
Lastly, please be aware that extreme heat or cold waves can put stress on the house’s heating or cooling systems, and these systems may struggle to keep up during very high or very low temperatures.
◆◆◆Summer Bookings◆◆◆
During Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, this is our busiest season. Check-in time is at 5 PM, and early check-in is nearly impossible. If we can accommodate an early check-in, the earliest would be 3 PM. If you need to arrive earlier than 3 PM, we recommend booking the day before to ensure you can arrive any time on your desired day.
◆◆◆Winter Bookings◆◆◆
During winter months, it is highly recommended to have a vehicle with All-Wheel Drive (AWD) or 4×4 capabilities due to potential heavy snowfall.
◆◆◆Supplies◆◆◆
We provide a starter pack of household essentials (paper towels, toilet paper, garbage bags, dish detergent). If the property includes a dishwasher, washer, and dryer, we also provide cleaning agents for those. Guests staying for longer durations or with larger groups should bring additional supplies. Personal toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, body wash), q-tips, deodorants, or other personal care products are not provided.
The house includes cooking ware (pots, pans, plates, utensils, baking dishes), but guests need to bring personal grocery items (seasonings, flour, sugar).
◆◆◆Community Information◆◆◆
We are located in a private gated community that requires a guest registration form for security and emergency purposes. The form will ask for full names and ages of each guest, as well as vehicle and driver information, including the main registrant’s license ID number and the plate numbers of all vehicles entering the community. Names on the forms must match the legal ID of the driver.
◆◆◆Pet Rules◆◆◆
If you are bringing your pet during your stay, please be aware of the following rules:

Keep Dogs Leashed: Dogs must be leashed at all times while outside. The mountain area is home to various wildlife, including bears, foxes, coyotes, other dogs (wild or loose), skunks, raccoons, and snakes. Keeping your dog on a leash is essential for its safety, as encounters with these animals can be dangerous.
No Overnight Outdoor Stays: Do not leave your dog outside overnight. Unless your dog is a livestock guardian dog, it may become prey for bears or other wildlife.

Our house at Horizon Chalet is very important to us, and we hope that all guests will care for our home in the same way that we would treat yours:). Smoking is strictly prohibited. If you would like to smoke, please use the outdoor area.
We also have a wonderful Hot Tub caretaker who does a fantastic job keeping the Hot Tub clean and in great operating condition. He asks that people do not use excessive lotions and hair conditioners before entering the hot tub, as it will cause the water to become cloudy and difficult to clean quickly between guest reservations.
Lastly, some of our neighbors are full-time residents who are sensitive to loud music and excessive noise. There is security that monitors this as well. We ask that you keep this in consideration when staying. We want everyone to enjoy their stay and have fun, but please keep this in mind. Though Horizon Chalet at Emerald Lakes is a destination, it also has some full-time residents as well.
