Samantha Rex calls her picturesque Pocono home something out of the classic flick, “Dirty Dancing.”
“It’s in gated community called ‘The Hideout.’ It reminds me of the movie because in it they go to this resort, and it also has this nostalgic charm,” she said. “There’s a huge lake, tennis courts, a pool, a tiki bar. The location in itself is amazing. I get jealous of my guests, actually.”
Rex and her husband, Dane, are superhosts of the “Midcentury A Frame,” a cabin in Hamlin and one of Airbnb’s most popular Pocono rentals.
The pair live in New York City, but just bought a second home in the area after the surge in sales of their cozy hideaway.
South Jersey Snakes Are Out and About
The cold and wet spring has made it a bit of a tough go for southern New Jersey’s serpent clan, but with the past few days of warm weather, they really seem to be out and about.
Sure, we’ve sighted a few in late March, these being garters and a lone northern pine snake, but suffice to say they are now in full season mode.
The Garden State hosts 22 species of snakes. These include a pair of venomous ones, the northern copperhead and the eastern timber rattler. The former is found primarily from Hunterdon through Sussex counties. The rattler inhabits the woodlands and rocky crags in Sussex, Warren, Passaic, Morris and Bergen counties, and the Pine Barrens region (portions of Atlantic, Burlington, Ocean and Cumberland counties) in the south.
