Poconos PA Short-Term rentals

I have been looking into purchasing an investment property in Poconos as a #shorttermrental. However, after looking at the calendars of multiple hosts on airbnb, I got concerned that the foot traffic is a little light in the area. There are significant vacancies from what I can tell. Can anyone bring some perspective to that point?

Thanks

Hi Jephte,

Right now it's the shoulder season so most places are only booked on weekends. That is expected with a 'drive to' destination like the Poconos. It's a great weekend getaway! I myself have a STR there and am starting to take on new properties for my new Concierge service. I have my team in place and it's a well oiled machine. I've been renting my home there for the past 3+ years. I'd love to connect with you. If you like, you can send me a DM and I can give you some more information.
