This page is a listing of "Reviewed" Pocono Mountain Vacation Rental Resorts and Time Share Exchange options from Resorts in the Pennsylvania Delaware Water Gap area. These are Vacation Resorts that my Wife and I and/or our "Vacation Timeshare Exchange Friends" have used or toured on Pocono Mountain Vacations we have taken over our now 31 years of Timeshare week exchanging and vacation resort condo rentals.
Tip You do NOT have to be a Time Share Owner to get some of the often VERY affordable Rental Deals you can find on unused Vacation Time Share Condo Rental Weeks rented directly from the Resort's Rental Management Company. (and sometimes online Timeshare Rental Sites)
- These Listings are for a fully furnished and equipped often very spacious Vacation Condo Apartment Vs just a Hotel room or suite. These are usually "Unused weeks" placed for rent by the Timeshare Owners through their Time Share Vacation Resort Rental Company.
The list here includes only Resort Condominium International (RCI) and Interval Interval International (II) Time Share Resorts since those are the two largest Timeshare Exchange Association Companies -- and also happen to be the two types of time shares we own at our two home resorts in Florida. Both RCI and II now have over 3,000 Timeshare Exchange Resorts you can choose from in each of their resort exchange networks.
We further are narrowing the Resort list down to only Time Share Resorts which have been awarded some rating distinction by their timeshare Association Company: Gold Crown, Silver Crown, or RCI Hospitality for RCI, and 5 Star rating for II (We have used it here, however the II 5 Star rating seems to be being phased out and replaced with a new "Golf Resort" rating.) These designated RCI & II Resorts tend to be the top Resorts in either Exchange Companies Resort Network, and we have almost always had a very good Resort experience at those top rated Time Share Vacation Resorts.
We have stayed at Eastern Pennsylvania Time Share Vacation Resorts in both the areas near East Stroudsburg, and Buskill, PA.
=====================

White Mountains Resort Timeshare Condo Rental Top Picks - North Conway and Lincoln, NH - all Resorts below have some type of special top designation from RCI or II
Crown Ridge Resort (RCI #2136 - RCI Gold Crown Resort)
Crown Ridge Road, P.O. Box 2296, North Conway, NH 03860
603-356-5088 - Our White Mountains Resort Top Pick , but a couple of others below were close behind.
The Crown Ridge Resort is a small 20 unit resort in private wooded area about 3 miles from North Conway. Very spacious over 1600 sq ft 2 bedroom, 2 bath, and 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath units. All have whirlpools in the Master Bath. Most of the units have a view of a small stream + forested area. Some of the furniture was showing a little age a few years ago, but the 2-bedroom unit we had was very clean. The units may have been redone by now, ask if one you are considering has.
Many activities nearby including canoeing and white-water rafting on Sako River in the Mount Washington Valley, many hiking trails, 3 options for downhill skiing, outlet shopping, plus there are many restaurants in North Conway. Resort location is about 10 miles from the east end of the scenic Kangamangus Highway #112 drive through the White Mountains over to Lincoln, which is particularly beautiful in the Fall.
They have an attractive clubhouse with an indoor swimming pool, hot tub, pool table, and exercise room, which is shared with their sister Resort, the Mountain View at Crown Ridge. They also have a tennis court, basketball court, and playground. There were no resort sponsored activities, but you really don't neeed any.
(The "sister" Resort - Mountain View at Crown Ridge Resort has newer buildings, but generally much smaller units.) Note that the Crown Ridge Resort units do not have air conditioning, which may be a consideration in the summer months, altho nights in the White Mountains generally are cool, and most windows in the units open and have screens + are fans.
To Crown Ridge Resort Listing & Pictures in RCI Directory
- To Crown Ridge Resort Web Site - See their rental page for White Mountains Resort Vacation Condo Rental rates and contact Info.
I recommend you join the Timeshare Users Group - TUG ($15/Yr.), or RedWeek.com ($14.99/Yr.) to see User Resort Reviews and ratings + more detailed info on the Resorts Listed on this page. I belong to both and find the TUG Site generally has more Resort Reviews, as well as direct links to the RCI, II, and Vacation Time Share Resort Web Site pages.
The RedWeek Site usually has more For Sale and For Rent listings, and is much easier to navigate. They will send you e-mail alerts of new rental or for sale listings at resorts you are interested in. They also have a Vacation Rental Escrow Service available. Don't think you have to necessarily find your rental on RedWeek to use it. An excrow service is recommended if you are renting directly from an Owner Vs from a onsite Resort Management Company which will usually be a Licensed Real estate Broker.
