Dacha is the “Russian word for a seasonal or year-round second home” typically located outside the cities, according to Wikipedia.
They began to appear in Russia during the reign of Peter the Great as small estates in the country. The Dacha evolved through the years; some became a place of gardening for those who worked in the cities. (Source – Wikipedia)
The Poconos have become a highly sought out location for the Dacha, and those who have longed for a vacation home or second home. It is a wonderful concept that man
y have embraced. The Pike, Wayne and Monroe County areas of the Poconos and Northeastern PA, have the unique advantage of an ideal location for the Dacha or vacation home:
- close proximity and easy commute to the New York City Metropolitan area, including Brooklyn and Staten Island and the northern New Jersey areas;
- it forms a central hub expanding to other metro areas, such as Philadelphia - and Scranton / Wilkes-Barre, and
-it offers 4 seasons of endless fun!
Along with its perfect location, the Pike County, Wayne County, and Monroe County areas of the Poconos truly symbolize and embody the meaning of “Dacha,” offering Four Seasons of Endless Fun for every age group and for every interest type.
The Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area offers boating, water rafting, kayaking, fishing, swimming, biking and much more. Ski at Shawnee Mountain, Camelback, Alpine Mountain, Big Bear – to name just a few. We offer an abundance of golf clubs with courses designed by the best, such as the Jack Nicklaus designed Great Bear Golf Course, as well as hiking and backpacking trails and thousands of acres of preserved Federal and State lands and parks. From the Poconos Raceway and NASCAR Pocono 500, to the Milford Music Festival, Honesdale Roots & Rhythm Music & Arts Festival, the Annual Pocono Blues Festival, The Wind Gap Bluegrass Festival, and the Black Bear Film Festival, our area brings all of this to you! Antiquing is plentiful throughout our communities. We have wonderful inns to host you.
For the “Dacha” seeker, the Poconos offer familiarity because of our bountiful lakes and great skiing areas. For Russian families, it resembles the “feel” and “ambiance” of the very special aspects of life in their homeland, Russia.

“Coney Island" sends you on a nostalgic trip, with it's brilliant cinematic performance, is the highlight of the album.

It's opening game time for the 2009 World Series between the Yankees and Phillies. Television screens across America are tuned in as we bond together to enjoy the great American Pastime that brings us all together - for our great love of Baseball!
What is it about this sport that raises such spirit in all of us?
I can remember growing up, being the youngest and the only girl with four brothers, and a home surrounded by large open fields. Every summer day, the kids in the neighborhood gathered in the field across the road from my house, mitts, bats and balls in hand, and it was our World Series every day. The days just could never be long enough.
And then it was the time of life when I was the one with three little boys who all loved baseball. It was Little League, baseball card collecting, backyard picnics at Grandpa's house for the family game, with Grandpa pitching. Or it was backyard picnics with our neighbors, all bringing a dish for the tables under the wheeping willow or oak trees, and it was always backyard baseball! Those are the memories of life that are so rich with life's true wealth, family, friends, love.
Our All-American pastime can be enjoyed on so many levels.
It's the family sport that can be enjoyed together. Everybody can play, the young, the old, the amateur and the pro. Everyone enjoys watching it; it can be such a relaxing lull, or chill raising when a play is executed with precision - a wonder and an art form of what a human can accomplish on the playing field. That moment of magic!
It's a time when people come together. There's T-Ball, Little League and High School and College sports teams. There's the local neighborhood adult teams, Triple A, and the Big Leagues.
It represents friendship and bonding.
It's given us heroes, Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, and great legendary teams, like the Yankees; 
Cooperstown and The Baseball Hall of Fame.
It's the best place in the whole world for hot dogs and corn dogs! It's the place where kids like to hang around their idols
and watch batting practice, praying to get an autograph, or to catch a ball.
It's the single one pastime that has more facts and statistics collected to be devoured, compared and scrutinized.
And what's terrific about Northeast PA? We have Yankees Triple A Ball - the Top of the Minor League!
Where a family can still affordably go and where players are accessible to the new young fans - Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees at PNC Field!
Their 2010 Roster is posted. It's great Yankee baseball - there's Curtis, Kennedy, Corona.
Triple A Baseball brings us great action and sensational and exciting players, who are just a telephone call away from the Majors!
There is Triple A Baseball and minor league teams all over America. They help keep our great American pastime affordable, and are the place where little ones can come and dream, and carry on the legend and spirit of our great sport of American baseball!

Pocono’s Real Estate & Custom Home Building emerges with the World’s 1st Heart-Shaped Tub to a Destination with Four Seasons Appeal ~ a destination well suited for Family Fun, Cultural Offerings, Sports Enthusiasts, Great Corporate Meeting & Conference Centers.
Where a lovely home & a lifestyle that is priceless are still within one’s means!
A Very Long Time Ago, in 1829, the Pocono’s tourist industry was spawned when its first boarding house was established in the Delaware Water Gap. By 1857, a thriving tourist industry had emerged. In the 1900’s, thousands of visitors escaped Philadelphia and New York each year for the lure of cooler high altitudes and enchanting scenic backdrops.
And Long Ago, in 1926, a creek was damned ~ deep blue Lake Wallenpaupak was created by Pennsylvania Power & Light, a 5600-acre lake with 52 miles of uninterrupted shoreline.
And Then, Once Upon A Time, very possibly the Pocono’s first honeymoon resort was developed when, in 1945, a farmhouse in Swiftwater, PA was converted to a comfy boarding house, “The Farm on the Hill,” where travelers could feel cozy, and where “honeymoon couples” first discovered the alluring Poconos.
On slopes high in the sky, where ski lifts could climb, by 1946 Big Boulder Ski Area was developed, PA’s first commercial ski area.
And the number of inviting resorts and exciting destinations grew during World War II as soldiers brought their girlfriends, wives and families, to the Poconos before going overseas.
Having been captivated by the moon glow and starlight of Pocono skies, these soldiers often returned after the war for their honeymoons.
And, Hence, it was out of this charming romantic era and stardust of yesteryear, that the Poconos gained its acclaim as “Honeymoon Capital of the World.”
Things Really Began to Roar, in the late 1950’s and 1960’s, when Interstates 80 & 81 rolled into the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, crisscrossing this 4-County region.
Real estate and custom home building began to take off with vacation homes and primary homes.
Pocono Dreamin,’ the Arrival of the Sixties and Seventies, and The World’s 1st Heart-Shape Tub was designed in 1963 at the Pocono’s Caesar’s Cove Haven Resort. After being featured in Life Magazine in 1971, the World’s 1st Heart-Shape Tub clearly defined the Honeymoon Capital of the World, reinforced by Caesar’s “Seven Foot Tall Champagne Glass Whirlpool Bath for Two!”
And the Seventies brought about the Pocono International Raceway in Long Pond, PA (now Pocono Racew
ay) with a 2 ½ mile super speedway and first series of Indy Car Races. NASCAR followed in 1972.
And Throughout the Mountains and Valleys of the Poconos, in the 1980’s and 1990’s, this destination continued to evolve with the growth of whitewater rafting, fabulous golf courses (more than 35), antiquing, outlet shopping, country inns and bed & breakfasts.
Delaware Water Gap
With nine Stateparks, the Delaware Water Gap area, the Upper Delaware Scenic & Recreational River, the 
Poconos have exploded with soft adventure activities ~ hiking, biking, fishing, kayaking and canoeing.
And Upon This Great Land, charming villages and small towns arose ~ beautiful Milford, host to music events and the Black Bear Film Festival; Jim Thorpe with its historic mansions and celebrations, and Honesdale, “Birthplace of the American Railroad,” with boutiques and themed railroad tours.
And Not So Very Long Ago, in Twenty~O~Three, The Mountain Laurel Center for the Performing Arts brought artists of world class caliber to the Poconos. Family fun abounded with the opening of the Great Wolf Lodge in 2005, the Northeast’s largest water park, followed by Split Rock Resort’s indoor “Waterpark H20ooohh!” in 2008.
It All Began So Long Ago,
With Sweethearts & Honeymoons
2400 Square Miles of Wooded Peaks & Valleys
Sparkling Lakes, Rushing Rivers & Delightful Waterfalls,
Now a Four-Season Playground !!!
Today, the Poconos not only offer good times and a fabulous lifestyle, it has remained affordable and easily accessible for commuters with Interstates 80, 81 & 84.
Great for a vacation, honeymoon . . . VACATION HOME or FULL-TIME RESIDENCE ~
Where friendly people still say, “How do you do!”

RGB Custom Builders
Once Upon a Time ~ I grew up in a family construction business enveloping all phases of construction and custom home building, which formed the beginning of my background in new home construction.
I have 18 working years of legal background, certified in Paralegal Studies and with a specialty in Real Estate procedures. I am a member of the National Association of Realtors, licensed in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Association of Realtors, and a member of the Pike Wayne Association of Realtors.
With a strong knowledge base of all the communities and developments of Pike County and Monroe County, PA, and the communities in the Lake Wallenpaupak area of Wayne County, PA, I have additionally developed a solid background in land and judging its suitability for new home construction requirements.
The Importance of Selecting a Home Site with the Expertise of a Realtor Experienced in New Home Construction Cannot be Overemphasized!
Procuring a home site with the expertise of a Builder’s Representative who is knowledgeable regarding Federal Regulations (EPA), State and Local Laws, and all the various community building regulations, that govern land use and its development as a future home site, as well as understanding construction requirements and building codes, will help you to select land that is both build-able and suitable for your custom home building project. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of insuring that your hard earned dollars are spent on property that is build-able and suitable for your new home construction project!
