anywhere within a 2 hour drive from Lakewood, in any direction?

We have 2 little kids in a squishy basement apartment.

A house/cabin with a pool and backyard where we can just chill would be the perfect vacation and change of scenery for us right now. No point in going on any trips with these kiddos. Smile

Can anyone help me find for relatively normal price?
I tried on Air bnb but anything I found was $700 and up for 2 nights, which is way above what we can afford.

(Someone suggested I try in Toms River, as there are people who rent out their second homes there. But I don't know how to find.)

$700 for two nights is a pretty good price these days for air bnb's with a pool.

If you're flexible, keep checking and keep your eyes out for availability and cancelations. Things are pretty booked up this year. Do you need to be near a minyan?

No minyan necessary.

So $700 for 2 nights is regular price? Sad

With a private pool, yes. You may find better looking for a lakeside place with a community pool.

Yes normal for a pool. Unfortunately.

Hot tub can get less.
Look in bush kill or poconos area (most pools listed with homes are community pools, but hot tubs are often private)

(Sometimes on Airbnb I’ll choose a location and move around and look for a pool sometimes you can get lucky(

(Toms River and lkwd with pool is 1500-2000 a night)

We rented such a thing in Kentucky. Was beautiful, spacious, had our own hot tub, and the kids gathered branches all day for our campfire. Oh, and it was $100/day.

But..I guess you meant NYC area only, right?

If you would fly you can get a house with a pool and hot tub in orlando for a better price.

Thank you!
What about any weekend this summer , a cool private home, walking distance to a shul.
2-3 hour car ride from NYC.

Ok, so this is hard since weekends are very booked already for the summer and you need to be near a frum community. I'm thinking Philli as there are a couple of homes that may be within a 30 min walk to a shul. It's nice since there are also kosher restaraunts nearby, and I can give you a few ideas for things to do near there, depending on family interest etc.


Available July-August weekends

Look around Lancaster. For some reason pools with homes are cheaper there. But many are booked. If you move further out you may find.

In hunter ny many of the homes have a hot tub on the deck. We rented a big house for our family that had a game room, sauna and outdoor hot tub. None of the houses in that area have pools since people really go there in the winter for skiing. If you look at the photos of the homes you can see if there is a hot tub. It doesn’t always say in the description. Hunter NY is a good 3 hours away near tannersville.
