Tree Tops at Pocono Mountain Villas by Exploria Resorts

The Resort and Its Setting

Tree Tops at Pocono Mountain Villas is a timeshare resort operated under the Exploria Resorts brand, located in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. The Poconos have long been a go-to mountain escape for the northeastern US, and this resort's location puts owners close to the outdoor life the region is known for — without needing to drive far once you've arrived. As an RCI-affiliated property, it also gives owners the option to trade their week for stays at other resorts within that network.

East Stroudsburg and the Pocono Mountains

East Stroudsburg itself has the essentials — local restaurants, shops and services — while the surrounding Pocono Mountains region is the real draw. Summer means hiking and time outdoors; fall brings the foliage crowds who come specifically to see the hillsides turn; winter turns the area into a destination for skiing and other snow sports; and spring is quieter, better suited to those who just want to get out into nature without the peak-season traffic. The Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, roughly 10 miles away, adds river activities and scenic trails to the mix if you're staying for more than a day or two.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own at Tree Tops at Pocono Mountain Villas and are thinking about letting your week go — or renting it out for a season — BidMyTimeshare.com is built for exactly that: a private, owner-to-owner marketplace. You list the week yourself, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee to get your week in front of buyers, and no commission is taken when a sale or rental goes through — the price you agree is the price you keep.

Because this is an independent resale (not a resort-brokered sale), any transfer of ownership will typically go through Tree Tops at Pocono Mountain Villas' owners' association or management company rather than through BidMyTimeshare.com itself. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, both sides should confirm directly with the resort or its management what the current transfer fee is and what the annual maintenance fee currently stands at — these figures can change and should be verified at the time of sale rather than assumed from an old statement. It's also worth asking whether the resort or its association holds any right of first refusal on resales, since some properties do, and it can affect how long a transfer takes to finalise.

A resale buyer typically takes on the week itself and, where applicable, the RCI exchange affiliation tied to the resort — but they shouldn't assume anything beyond what's stated in the listing (points balances, prior banked weeks, or promotional perks from the original purchase generally don't carry over). Sellers should be upfront about what is and isn't included, since that's what keeps a resale transaction straightforward for both parties.

What Renters Typically Look For

Renters coming to the Poconos are usually chasing a specific season — fall foliage, ski weekends, or a summer week near the trails — so being clear about which weeks or seasons you're renting out, and how many people the unit sleeps, helps your listing stand out. Proximity to East Stroudsburg and the Delaware Water Gap is a genuine selling point worth mentioning, since it tells renters exactly what they can do without a long drive.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

East Stroudsburg is within easy reach of New York City, Philadelphia and New Jersey, which is part of why the resort draws regional visitors rather than long-haul travellers — useful context for pricing a rental or resale realistically. If you're buying a resale week here, confirm the RCI affiliation status directly with the resort before relying on it for exchange plans, and always get the current annual fee and transfer fee in writing before you finalise anything.
