A needed break within 2 hours of KSQ, PA. It was a perfect early fall weekend to take in the last bit of summer to kayak on Lake Harmony and hike some local hikes around the area. We brought all our food (still COVID wary), and did not eat out much. The kitchen was adequately supplied with cooking ware, utensils, and food prep tools. It was very quiet in the house given that neighbors are in close proximity.
The house was recently upgraded with two new flat screens with ROKU with fire-stick, both in the family room and loft. Also had good Wi-fi. The FR was nicely appointed with a gas fireplace that put out heat, not just for looks. The beds were comfortable and there were two full baths, with one BR and bath on the first floor. The second floor offered a nice loft area with washer /dryer and another 2 bedrooms. The large deck is nicely done with a gas grill and there was a fire pit off the back through some rocks on the property. We came to hike and though lake harmony is a pretty lake, it doesn't offer a walking trail around it and it is a short walk down to the lake. Nearby hikes we did were in beautiful Hickory Run State Park, the Bear Creek Preserve, and the Austin T. Blakeslee Natural Area, which has a really nice trail that borders the Tobyhanna Creek. I would recommend any of these places. We did kayak on the lake. The closest to the house for kayak rentals is lake harmony watersports. I would pass on using them and go to Yeti watersports. One side note regarding food. Given the population of the area and that many people are from the tri-state area, there really isn't a decent grocery store nearby, so plan accordingly. We did stop one afternoon for a late lunch at Bear Creek Cafe, because there is seating outside next to a creek and the setting was beautiful with well attended gardens and potted dahlias all around. Gorgeous setting and nice owners.
