Pinecrest Lake Golf and Country Club has plenty to offer in the Spring, Summer and Fall, golf, swimming, boating, fishing, tennis, outdoor heated Swimming pool with Slide. All this AND a secluded woodland setting.

 But what do you do when the temperature outside leaves no room to doubt that it’s winter? Well you can hop in the car and head to Camelback, Jack Frost or Big Boulder Ski Area’s – all just 15 to 25  minutes away. You can shop at the Crossings outlets or lunch in charming Downtown Stroudsburg or Jim Thorpe, once again just a short car ride away.

But what if you don’t want to get back into your car after your trip in from NJ, NY or Philly and points south? What can you do just outside your door? Better yet what can the kids do that will keep them occupied for more then 15 minutes AND will give them childhood memories to last a life time?

Well, I’ll tell you. There are some of the most beautiful and untouched cross country ski trails just outside your door at Pinecrest. Hidden and private, these trails offer sanctuary to all kind of local fauna. Pennsylvania White Tail Deer, Beaver, fox, winter birds as well as all other kind of small woodland creatures. If you don’t think that cross country skiing is your cup of tea grab a pair of skates or a warm blanket and a pic-nic lunch for you and the kids and head out to Beaver Brook Skating Pond.

If you have ever seen the movie “The Bishop’s Wife” (1947), and you should it’s a Christmas classic, then you will be able to imagine this most perfect of Capraesque places.

Two ponds connected by a spill way with a wooden board walk over it make up Beaver Brook’s skating area. The pond to the right is just the right shape and size for a game of pond hockey. Now the pond to the left is round and charming, with wooden steps to help you get from the woods to the ice. Both ponds are surrounded by pine tress big and small, but this pond, this pond to the left, well, it has the most perfect little island in the middle with three tall, thick pines to give it a bit of purpose and a pic-nic table to hold you when you want to take a break. And when it starts to get a little chilly all you have to do is lite a fire in the fire pit with the perfectly split and stacked dry wood straight from it’s shelter.

This is a special place that once only seemed to exist in books and films. So bring your skates, your family, your friends and don’t forget the smores and the hot coco too. You can have that perfect winter memory to share or to save for your very own. It’s all up to you.

 BLAKESLEE, PA : Sharon Ruggiero celebrated 25 years
with CENTURY 21. She was honored with a surprise party at the Blakeslee
office. Sharon started out as “OUR GAL FRIDAY” and did it all from front
desk, assigning leads, typing (ha ha) contracts and leases, bookkeeping and
receptionist. She recalls lugging in firewood to keep our woodstove going.
And she laughed about the “typing test” she had to take to get the job.
Sharon has been a loyal and hardworking employee over the years and there is
no way to truly thank her for all she does. Now she manages the accounting
for Blakeslee, Lake Harmony, Hazleton and Brodheadsville. Plus she is a
Super Relocation Director for our Relo Department for Select Group.

Sharon came on board when she was 18. We shared in celebrating her marriage
and birth of her two children Dylan and Cheyanne who are now 16 and 11. Boy
does time fly.

Congratulations to a great woman and a wonderful employee.

Brian McCardle, manager of the Hazleton branch stopped in to celebrate with
Sharon as they both started with the company around the same time. So we
gave him a little celebration too and crowned him.

We had a very Special visit from a very jolly ol’ friend and rental program home owner today!

During their travels through out our area today Mrs. Cindy Dautrich and Santa (Mr. Dautrich as a spot on St. Nick)) stopped by to wish us a very Merry Christmas and to drop off a little holiday cheer in the form of some excellent chocolate.

Mr. John “Jumper” & Mrs. Cindy Dautrich have a lovely and popular home here in Pocono Pines in the Lake Naomi Community that our office manages as a vacation rental property.  

As is the case with long time “Rental Owners” on our program we as agents and office staff become friends with ”Our Owners”. Many Home Owners stop by during the Holidays to wish us well, but never have we had one who has went to such lengths and enjoyed it so much!

Cindy explained to us that they were on their way to Pocono Medical Center so Santa could offer warm tidings and they thought we could use some red suited jollies as well.

Jumper loves to dress up as Santa during the Season and visit nursing homes and other community service providers in their “full time” town of Philadelphia but this year he especially wanted to visit  Thomas Jefferon Hospital in Philadelphia and Pocono Medical Center in Stroudsburg to give back to the two places responsible for him still being with us this Christmas.

After going out for a jog last January Jumper suffered a cardiac arrest on the road in Lake Naomi. Thanks to many passers by who stopped, Lake Naomi’s head of security and the staff of Pocono Medical and “Jeff” Jumper is able to continue his favorite holiday activity! 

We want to thank Cindy and Jumper for thinking of us and Thanks to everyone who helped when they were needed so that we got some warm and welcome hugs from Santa today!

Good Ol' St. Nick - The Miracle Man
