Frequently Asked Questions about Arrowhead Lake Community

Arrowhead Lake Rentals are Moving Off-Site in April!

Over the last few years short term rentals nationwide have boomed, Arrowhead Lake properties included. At the February 10th, 2024 board meeting, changes to the current rentals check-in were announced. During the transition to ABDi, to continue a smooth and simple check-in process for Members, Visitors and Renters, short-term rental check-ins will be moved off-site. 

We are anticipating it to be operational off-site by April 15th.

Still a branch of Member Services, Rental staff will be in a separate office for check-ins, registrations, and all things rental maintenance! We are excited about this change, and it will help operations and members focus more one on one with rentals and give us more space to do so. This will also provide Member Services staff on-site with the opportunity to focus on Members and Visitors as we upgrade our gate systems. This site will be monitored, secured, and maintained by Arrowhead staff.

 

The ABDi rental portal is still in development. The current rental process for registrations will continue as is. All rentals must be registered in accordance with the Short-Term Rental Policy and township guidelines.

 

The Arrowhead Lake Rental Office will be located at Liberty Plaza, right off RT 940. Homeowners who use their property as a short-term rental, please save this address:

906 Route 940

Suite #101 

Pocono Lake, PA 18347

 

Homeowners will be responsible for keeping renters informed of check-in locations and changes. We will be putting out as much information as possible in the next few weeks. For updates, information and more, check back here and look out for future emails!

Short-Term Rental Fee Schedule

Changes to Existing Registrations

Any changes to any aspect of the rental registration must be made not less than 3-days prior to the arrival date. An “Add-On/Change” link will be included in the email confirmation you receive from the initial rental registration. This link will allow you to:

  • Increase the number of occupants (age 6 and up) staying the full duration of the rental
  • Add a vehicle – staying the full duration
  • Add a guest/guest vehicle – these are not staying full duration
  • Swap vehicle information (No Charge)
  • NEW – For guest(s) of renters (not staying full duration) and arriving to ALCA without a vehicle, use the “Add Guest – No Vehicle” add-on option. This should only be used for people arriving in rideshare services like Uber where they will not have a vehicle in the community AND not staying the entire length of the rental.

If you need to change arrival and/or departure dates, you must cancel your initial registration and re-register. This is because fees are calculated based on number of days/nights. 

Changes still cannot be made less than 3-days prior to arrival. If a renter will have guests during their stay, all guests must be registered. Guests of a renter are considered temporary members and temporary membership and vehicle gate card fees apply.

If you need to decrease the number of occupants, vehicles, or guest vehicles, please contact Rental Services. These changes need to be made not less than 3-days prior to arrival for a refund to be issued.

Please make every effort to have accurate and complete information at the time of registration. Doing so means less time on your end submitting “Add-On” forms and multiple payments per rental registrations.

Cancellations to Existing Registrations

If you need to cancel an already submitted registration, please use the “Cancel Renter Registration” link in the email notification you received when you initially submitted the registration.

You can cancel your registration at any time prior to arrival, however, only cancellations submitted not less than three (3) days prior to arrival will be eligible for a refund. Only Temporary Membership fees and Vehicle Gate Card fees are refundable.
