Select Rentals advertises no long term contracts and Wander Home covers the Adirondacks as well as the Poconos, yet neither prints a rate in the 16 records below.

Fees are half the cost question. The other half is the township: see STR permit rules, fees and occupancy limits for 23 Pocono municipalities.
