Hi! We're looking for a few special humans to join us in co-creating a fun, collaborative, nourishing community of femmes and queer folks here in the forest.

The Pearl is situated on 6 acres of beautiful, private woodlands in the Pocono Mountains. The property borders a 10,000-acre nature preserve which you can access directly from the backyard.

What Life Here Looks Like

✨ Quiet mornings spent writing, reading, doing yoga on the decks.

✨ Cooking together after a hike among waterfalls.

✨ Collaborative art projects, music-making sessions, and game nights.

✨ Going for a refreshing dip in a nearby swimming hole.

✨ Movie nights in the cozy film den.

✨ Curling up by the fireplace with a stack of books and a record playing.

✨ Enjoying alone time in one of the reading nooks or hammocks.

✨ Monthly house dinners to check in, share projects, and celebrate.

🌼 Who We’re Looking For 🌼

This is more than a room rental — it’s a community.

Ideal housemates are:
• Warm, communicative, and collaborative
• Responsible and reliable
• Community-oriented but self-reliant
• Comfortable with monthly house meetings and shared care of the space

If you’re craving nature, connection, and a chance to live more intentionally, we’d love to hear from you.

About This Lister

I’m Simi (she/her). I’m a black queer feminist musician and community builder in my late thirties.

After 12 years in Brooklyn, I decided to create a communal home that feels like a sanctuary—a place where art, nature, and meaningful connection all coexist.

I bought this house last fall and have spent the past year pouring my heart into transforming it into a whimsical, inspiring space for queer community to gather, recharge, and create.

And now, I’m so excited to get to share it.

A little about me:

✨ I love dancing, circlesinging, designing magical spaces, and collaborative art projects.
🌱 I care deeply about ecology, women’s liberation, and finding new ways to build community beyond the status quo.
🌼 I’m a “bubbly introvert”—I value quiet time to recharge, but I also love being intentional about sharing meals, conversation, and creative time together.

As a housemate, I’m all about clear communication, kindness, and keeping our space feeling welcoming and peaceful. I like to have regular (monthly-ish) check-ins so we can stay connected and keep everything running smoothly.

I live here part time. When I’m at the house, you’ll find me writing, cooking big meals, or doing yoga on the deck.

I currently share this home with one other housemate. Mia is a therapist, filmmaker, and all-around amazing human. She also lives here part time.

We are both looking forward to co-creating a sweet home vibe with the new housemates. :)
