Welcome to
Cabin Living at the Lake We’re Glad You’re Here!
POCONO PINES Magazine HOME-STYLE P.O. Box D Pocono Pines, PA 18350 570.807.4434 PUBLISHER Michael Dembinski GRAPHIC DESIGN Jeanne B. Daubner CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHERS Mark Luethi Steven Wallace Advertising Opportunities 570.807.4434
Dear Lake Residents and Guests, With so many new faces joining our community, I wanted to welcome everyone. “Cabin Living” seems to be a popular theme that new residents are looking for in a new home or renovation project this year. Even those going “Modern” in their theme still want to incorporate a few woodsy touches in their projects. I haven’t used the word A-frame in years, and this year, have received the most inquiries about building or renovating these types of homes. Maybe it’s just ski season, or we have realized that the warm and cozy feeling of being inside for several months brings us a sense of comfort. As always, regardless of your theme, we are here to serve all of your Pocono Pines real estate & building needs. I look forward to meeting all our new residents! Sincerely,
Michael Dembinski Michael Dembinski
