About Bud and Kay Macnew I was born in Tokyo Japan. I met my husband when I was studying in Germany at the same university. Bud and Kay Macnew purchased this Chalet in 1994 Why Bud and Kay Macnew chose East Stroudsburg My husband used to come here for golfing since he was attending Fordham University in NY. Our favor vacation place has been always Poconos. Finally we decided to build one instead of renting. That how we got this beautiful comfortable house here in Shawnee. What makes this Chalet unique Most of guests enjoyed that we have 2 living rooms( one we call a family room or den), as their children could watch own TV shows although each bed room has a TV or playing games etc.. while the adults enjoyed chatting with family or friends or watch their own show. Also, they liked the idea of having 2 bed rooms and a full bath on the 1st floor as some times they had older people who do not like stairs. Also the guests like to have a TV in each room. Wd have total of 7 TVs in the house. This is amenity filled vacation community, such as indoor , out door pool. ski slope is a few minutes walk ( 33% off on your lift tickets for our guests ) 27 holes golf course (55% off on your green fee for our guests).the pools are free of use, as same as tennis court, basket ball court, horse shoes.valley ball court etc. our guests also enjoy, canoeing, rafting at Delaware River( also discounts available) Near to grocery stores, restaurants,movies and Casinos etc..
