Ep 1. A Family Spot in the Poconos

A Family Spot in the Poconos is the first episode of the fourth season of Lakefront Bargain Hunt Renovation. This episode follows a family's journey as they search for their ideal lakefront vacation home in the Pocono Mountains.

The family consists of Anne and Joe, along with their three children: Sophia, Ava, and Joey. For years, they have been renting a lakefront property in the Poconos for their summertime vacations. However, they have finally decided to take the plunge and invest in their own piece of lakeside paradise.

During their search, Anne and Joe are accompanied by renovation expert Jodi Avery. Jodi is tasked with helping the family find a fixer-upper that they can turn into their dream vacation home. Together, they scour the Pocono region in search of the perfect property.

The first property that catches their eye is a small, two-story cabin that sits directly on a lake. While the family is drawn to the charm of the cabin, they quickly realize that it is too small to accommodate their family of five. They move on to the next property, a three-bedroom ranch-style home. While the home has plenty of space, the family is hesitant about the lack of privacy, as the house is located in a neighborhood with nearby houses.

Their search then takes them to an older, fixer-upper property that sits on a massive piece of land. The home is in need of a lot of work, but the family falls in love with the idea of having their own private piece of lakefront land. Jodi helps the family envision the potential of the property, showing them how they can transform the outdated interior into a modern, family-friendly space.

The family ultimately decides to make an offer on the fixer-upper property, and they close the deal. From there, the real work begins. With Jodi's help, the family starts tearing down walls, giving the home an open-concept feel. They also add in new features, such as a large screened-in porch and a newly renovated kitchen.

Throughout the renovation process, the family faces a number of challenges. They run into issues with the plumbing, encounter unexpected foundation problems, and deal with a mold infestation. However, they refuse to give up and power through, determined to turn the run-down property into their dream vacation home.

In the end, the family's hard work pays off, and they are left with a stunning lakefront property that they can call their own. The home is now equipped with everything they need for the perfect family vacation, including a game room, an outdoor fire pit, and a private dock for fishing and swimming.

A Family Spot in the Poconos is a heartwarming and inspiring episode that showcases the incredible transformation that can take place when a family invests in a fixer-upper property. It also demonstrates the importance of having a skilled renovation expert on hand to help turn a vision into a reality.
