I took this picture just after I got done walking our Big Dog Bumbles this morning. Bumbles loves jumping through and eating the snow while I enjoy the Absolute Peace and Quiet. The one good thing about everyones fear of snow here in the Pocono Mountains is that more and more drivers stay off the road. Rest assured if you go for a walk in the community where I live, Arrowhead Lakes, on a snowy morning, you will experience absolute peace and quiet. It is the most amazingly mind clearing activity. I even kept my snow blower in the garage this year so I can shovel by hand, all the while enjoying the stillness in this wonderful Pocono Lake Community.

It reminds me why we see so many winter renters just looking for that Zen like experience! Winter in the Poconos, complete with hefty amounts of the white fluffy stuff, our wonderful Pocono Rental Homes with blazing and roaring fireplaces inside offers the Endless Opportunities of Mind Clearing Peace and Absolute Stillness with Nature outside. Join the thousands every year who flock to the Poconos to Get Their Zen On! Book Your Zen Like Experience HERE!

Every winter the SNOW enthusiasts crowd into the Pocono Mountains several times during the Winter Season. It kicks off with New Years Eve then quickly runs into Martin Luther King Weekend, followed shortly by Presidents Weekend and other long weekends, most of which you probably already know about. I am here to tell you about one event you may not know about but should know about!

Anyone from the Philly area damn well knows of the radio station WMMR. It has been Philly's rock station for as long as I can remember. Twice a year WMMR runs "A Day off at The Slopes" at Jack Frost Mountain. This year the second "Day off at the Slopes" is the one I want to tell everyone about! It is The Cardboard Classic and it is a RIOT!! Cardboard Derby Sleds race down Jack Frost Mountain (If they make it). The Cardboard Racers are all decked out with fancy decorations and such and the whole event is one BIG LAUGH FEST! If there is one winter event you definitely want to get to here in the Poconos, this is it!!

You've seen them. Those complicated corporate websites offering access to the MLS. You log in, sign up or whatever you need to do to get the information you want. They are typically more confusing with so much crammed in and going on at once that the pleasure of searching for a Pocono Home is replaced with frustration and distraction. Well strap in, buckle up or whatever you wanna call it because "Searchability' has hit the 21st century in Rick's Mountain Homes!

Pain Free Search Links provided directly to the Pocono Home Searcher. If you know the Poconos and just want the tool to Search The Entire Pocono MLS yourself we have it. But what we also offer is the ability to simply break down your search right from the different option tabs such as "Pocono Communities" or Ski Housing or our Most Popular Search Tab, Pocono Lakefronts.

Whatever your looking for in the way of Pocono Housing is broken down for you so easily that your search remains a pleasureable adventure. Click your way around Ricks Mountain Homes and when you're done why not give Rick a Call for the most professional real estate representation in the Poconos.  

Lots of folks in NY, NJ, Philly and Delaware who are looking for a place to invest in real estate and not only get a good deal, find a place they can use themselves but also a popular place for vacationers to want to use and a Good Market for those vacation renters are now turning to the Pocono Mountains in Northeast PA to invest their $$$$$$.

The reasons are simple. Property values have hit the bottom, interest rates are at still all time lows and the rental market for vacationers is BOOMING!! Personally I have sold a multitude of homes to buyers who have literally made NO PAYMENTS on their mortgage as the rental income more than covers it year in and year out. Does this sound like a place you may want to make your next home purchase??
