🚨 ~$60K a Year at Just $385K—with a Potential Path to $70K+

The revenue-to-price ratio is the first thing that caught our attention here.

Offered at just $385,000, this established Pocono STR is currently generating approximately $60,000 in annual gross rental revenue. That's roughly 15.6% of the asking price in gross revenue, with comparable homes within the community reportedly generating $70,000+.

And this isn't an unproven cabin that still needs to find its audience.

The property is a permitted short-term rental with a 4.93-star rating across 152 guest reviews, comes fully furnished, and already has the core amenities that make a mountain rental bookable year-round: private hot tub, fire pit, wood-burning fireplace, game loft, large deck, wooded privacy, and access to a community packed with recreational amenities.

For investors looking for a sub-$400K entry point into the Poconos with existing revenue, substantial guest validation, and potential upside, this is an interesting one.

For $385K, there's quite a bit of established STR infrastructure already here.

💰 ~$60K in Annual Gross Revenue

Let's start with the existing performance.

According to the listing, the property currently generates approximately:

$60,000 in Annual Gross Rental Revenue

Against the $385,000 asking price, that's approximately:

15.6% Gross Revenue-to-Price

That doesn't tell you profitability—operating expenses, management, financing, taxes, insurance, HOA/community costs, maintenance and utilities still matter—but it makes this a compelling starting point for further underwriting.

Especially at a sub-$400K acquisition price.

Buyers should independently verify all revenue statements, expenses, occupancy, booking history, permitting, community rules and future income expectations.

📈 The Bigger Story May Be the Upside

The current $60K isn't necessarily where the revenue story ends.

According to the listing, comparable homes within the community have reportedly generated more than $70,000 annually.

If this property could eventually reach that level, $70K would represent gross revenue equal to approximately 18.2% of the current asking price.

That's not a projection we're underwriting as guaranteed income—the performance of those comparables and this property's ability to replicate it need to be independently verified.

But it does give a buyer a useful question to investigate:

Why is this property doing ~$60K while certain nearby homes are reportedly doing $70K+?

If the gap comes down to pricing, listing optimization, photography, management, amenities, or other fixable variables, there may be an interesting optimization opportunity here.

⭐ 4.93 Stars Across 152 Reviews

Whatever improvements might remain on the revenue side, guest satisfaction doesn't appear to be the problem.

The property has earned:

4.93 Stars Across 152 Guest Reviews

That's meaningful.

Hundreds of guest nights have already tested the fundamental experience, and the resulting rating suggests travelers genuinely enjoy the property.

For a buyer, you're not starting from zero and hoping the house resonates with guests.

It already does.

♨️ A Strong Mountain STR Amenity Stack

At only 1,123 square feet, this chalet manages to pack in a surprisingly strong list of guest amenities.

Outside:

♨️ Private hot tub

🔥 Fire pit

🌲 Wooded privacy

🌄 Mountain views

🪵 Spacious deck

Inside:

🔥 Wood-burning fireplace

🎮 Dedicated game loft

🕹️ Arcade machine

🍳 Fully equipped kitchen

These are specific, photographable amenities that give guests reasons to choose the property beyond simply needing somewhere to sleep.

🎮 The Loft Does Double Duty

The property's layout makes smart use of its relatively compact footprint.

In addition to the main sleeping areas, there's a camp-style attic sleeping loft with double beds as well as a dedicated game loft with an arcade machine.

That gives the home some of the functionality of a larger vacation rental without requiring a massive footprint.

For families in particular, the loft concept can become part of the experience rather than simply extra square footage.

🌲 Private, Wooded & Built for a Mountain Weekend

The home is tucked privately among the trees, giving guests the kind of setting they're typically looking for from a Pocono getaway.

Think:

☕ Coffee on the deck

🔥 Wood-burning fireplace on cold nights

♨️ Hot tub under the trees

🔥 Evenings around the fire pit

🎮 Games when everyone comes inside

It's a straightforward mountain-vacation formula, but importantly, this property has already demonstrated that guests respond to it.

🏖️ Three Private Lakes + Beaches

The property is located within amenity-rich Locust Lake Village, giving guests far more to do than what's available at the house itself.

Community amenities include access to:

🏖️ Three private lakes

🏊 Sandy beaches with lifeguarded swimming

🚤 Boat launch

⛷️ Ski hill

🎾 Tennis courts

🛝 Playgrounds

🎉 Year-round community events

That helps broaden the property's appeal across seasons.

Instead of depending entirely on winter ski demand, guests have reasons to visit during warmer months as well.

⛷️ Four-Season Demand Drivers

The property is also approximately 20–30 minutes from several major regional attractions, including:

⛷️ Jack Frost

🏂 Big Boulder

🎿 Camelback

💦 Kalahari Waterpark

🏁 Pocono Raceway

That mix matters.

Winter brings skiing and mountain trips.

Summer brings lakes and outdoor recreation.

Waterparks and other attractions help create additional reasons to visit outside the traditional peak windows.

For an STR investor, multiple demand drivers across multiple seasons are generally preferable to relying on one short annual booking period.

📋 Already a Permitted STR

Another important detail:

The property is currently a permitted short-term rental.

In a market where regulations and permitting can materially affect the investment thesis, acquiring a property with an established operating history and existing permit is worth noting.

Buyers should still independently verify the current permit, transferability, occupancy limits, community requirements, renewal process, and all applicable municipal and HOA rules before purchasing.

🔑 Fully Furnished & Turnkey

The property is being offered fully furnished and turnkey.

That means a buyer isn't purchasing a $385K empty chalet and then facing another furnishing and setup project before the first guest can arrive.

The home already has:

✔ Furniture

✔ Guest-oriented amenities

✔ Established operating history

✔ STR permit

✔ 152 guest reviews

✔ Existing revenue performance

For an investor looking for something closer to acquire-and-operate rather than acquire-and-build, that's an important distinction.

📊 The Investment Story

The key numbers:

🏡 Asking Price: $385,000

💰 Current Annual Gross Revenue: ~$60,000

📊 Gross Revenue-to-Price: ~15.6%

📈 Comparable Revenue Reportedly: $70,000+

⭐ Guest Rating: 4.93

💬 Guest Reviews: 152

At a $70K revenue level, the gross revenue-to-price ratio would rise to approximately 18.2%—again, not a guarantee, but an upside case worth investigating.

The appeal here is that the buyer doesn't necessarily need to reinvent the property.

It's already working. The opportunity may simply be to figure out whether it can work even better.

💸 Financing & Tax Angle

At $385,000, this property offers a considerably lower acquisition price than many established mountain STRs.

Potential financing structures may include:

✔ Conventional investment financing

✔ DSCR financing

✔ Second-home financing, depending on intended use and lender requirements

✔ Portfolio lending

Qualifying investors may also explore applicable depreciation strategies and cost segregation with their tax professionals.

Buyers should consult qualified lending and tax professionals before relying on any particular financing or tax treatment.

🎯 Why This One Stands Out

1. 💰 ~$60K in Revenue at a $385K Price

Current gross rental revenue of approximately $60,000 represents roughly 15.6% of the asking price, giving investors an interesting starting point at a relatively low acquisition cost.

2. 📈 There's a Potential $70K+ Upside Case

Comparable homes within the community have reportedly generated $70,000+, suggesting there may be room to improve the property's existing performance.

3. ⭐ 4.93 Stars Across 152 Reviews

The property already has substantial guest validation, reducing the uncertainty around whether travelers actually like the existing experience.

4. ♨️ The Amenities Are Already There

Hot tub, fire pit, game loft, arcade, fireplace, deck, wooded privacy, lakes, beaches, and community recreation give guests plenty of reasons to book.

5. 🔑 Permitted, Furnished & Turnkey

The STR operating history is already established, and the property is being offered fully furnished rather than requiring a complete launch from scratch.

⚡ Bottom Line

At $385,000, this permitted Pocono STR is currently generating approximately $60,000 in annual gross rental revenue, carries an excellent 4.93-star rating across 152 reviews, and comes fully furnished with a private hot tub, fire pit, fireplace, game loft, and access to an amenity-packed lake community.

But the piece we'd investigate most closely is the upside.

Comparable properties within the community have reportedly generated $70K+ annually.

If there's a realistic path to closing some of that gap through better revenue management, marketing, or optimization, a property already producing roughly 15.6% of its asking price in annual gross revenue could become even more interesting.

For investors looking for a proven, sub-$400K mountain STR with strong reviews and a tangible optimization story, this one is worth digging into.
