PIKE COUNTY · LACKAWAXEN TOWNSHIP
Masthope Mountain
✓ STR Allowed — Lackawaxen Township License RequiredCommunity Setting
Masthope Mountain is a private four-season resort community on 2,650 acres in Lackawaxen Township, Pike County, in the northernmost tier of the Pocono Mountains. The community is geographically defined by three bodies of water: Westcolang Lake, a 250-acre motorboating lake on the western boundary; the Delaware River on the east; and the Lackawaxen River on the south. This combination of lake, river, and mountain gives Masthope a recreational depth that is unusual even by Pocono standards. Properties range from lakefront homes and lake rights homes to wooded lots throughout the community.
The Summit at Masthope Lodge, built in 2005, anchors the community's social life. The lodge houses the Summit Grill Room, a full-service restaurant open to the public that overlooks the Delaware River. The Masthope Equestrian Center maintains a herd of approximately 20 horses and offers pony rides, trail rides, indoor and outdoor arena rides, private lessons, and a petting zoo. The Marketplace at Masthope serves as an on-site convenience grocery for residents and guests. Ski Big Bear, the community's own ski area, is included in the annual HOA fee for property owners — a genuine value differentiator. The ski area also sells day and seasonal passes to the public.
