Spacious Lakefront Getaway with Stunning Views & Great Hospitality
Our group had an amazing stay at this Poconos house! The lake views were absolutely stunning, making for a peaceful and scenic getaway. The house was spacious and easily accommodated our large party, with plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy.The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, which made cooking meals a breeze. It was great to have all the essentials on hand, especially for a big group. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay, ensuring we had everything we needed.One suggestion for improvement would be to update the couch, as it was quite uncomfortable for lounging. Other than that, everything was fantastic! We would definitely recommend this rental and would love to return in the future.

Our large family had a wonderful stay! We pretty lived outside on the dock and in the water. There were lots of chairs and tables to accommodate our crew. We really enjoyed the lake cottage, it made hanging out by the lake all day super easy. The hosts were super responsive to our requests!

5 Stars - Perfect Lake Retreat!
Our stay in the Poconos was fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The property was beautiful and well-maintained, offering everything we needed for a perfect escape. We enjoyed a delicious steak dinner using the grill, followed by a peaceful evening relaxing by the lake. The mornings were just as delightful, with coffee overlooking the calm waters—such a serene way to start the day. The manager was fantastic, attentive, and responsive, making sure our stay was seamless. Their care and attention to detail made a real difference, and it’s clear they’re dedicated to making each guest’s experience exceptional. We can’t wait to return to this beautiful retreat!

Great place for multigenerational vacation. Quite comfortable for children and pets. Plenty of things to do lakeside and in the house. We love the beach but found some definite advantages to lake life.( No sand!) We have become lake people!

Great Time at Lake Harmony!
Stayed for Labor Day weekend as a group of 13 of us and had a great time! The rooms were spacious and there was plenty of space for all of us. The hosts were very quick to respond with any questions we had which was greatly appreciated. Having the lake on the property was everything we had hoped for. Beautiful views! We were also walking distance to the restaurants on the lake which we also took advantage of. Definitely recommend this house to anyone looking for a relaxing and spacious trip on the lake. We're already planning on coming back next year!

Perfect weekend!!
My family was extremely satisfied with this property for our quick family getaway. Gorgeous view overlooking the lake, and very close to Big Boulder slopes where we went skiing. We also enjoyed using the fire pit and roasting marshmallows. The two hot tubs, one outside overlooking the lake and the other inside, was an added bonus. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating as well. We had a great time and I would highly recommend this property.

Perfect for a large group!
Our church fellowship had a wonderful time here. We held a trip for a few days with a group of 18 college students. Everything was as good as advertised, and more. There was plenty to do at the house and around the house. The weather was beautiful! One thing I will say and I think may need to be more clear is that the canoes on property are not for use. Aside from that, Barry's instructions were extremely detailed and very helpful.

A group of my friends and I rented the large lake house to celebrate my 30th birthday! We had a blast! The house was great! Lots of beds to accommodate a large group! So much to do! We grilled food and hung out on the deck on a surprisingly warm December weekend- then we played pool and enjoyed the hot tub! ...and later we were able to walk to shenanigans in under 5 mins! The owner was very helpful with anything we needed..We would definitely use this home again!

Great location!
We stayed at this property for a family reunion - 16 people ages 1 year to 95 years young. The two houses had plenty of room for all of us, and we totally enjoyed using the outdoor areas like the decks and the docks. Barry is a great host and was quick to resolve any issues we had and was very helpful throughout our stay. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchens stocked with pretty much anything you might need to do all your cooking for meals right there, which we did. We did not use the linen service, and that worked just fine for us. It is shallow right off the docks, and that worked great for the younger kids to be able to swim between them in a protected area. I would not hesitate to rent this property again.

Disappointed
The photos of the property on VRBO made us believe it was as a relatively new construction, hi-end given the cost , which met our needs in terms of numbers and location for a family reunion. Upon arrival we struck by the condition of both the house and the grounds- the house and cottage much older and the grounds looking unkempt. The stairs between the houses are hazardous, necessitating concern and care especially with older adults and children. While the place was surface clean and the furniture comfortable, the appliances were old and in some cases not working, the hot pads filthy and many things showing age, like missing screens , old poorly- coated aluminum cookware and faded bed covers ( we had to bring our own sheets or pay for a service in addition to our rental fee) . We did our best and enjoyed our time together but unfortunately would not recommend this to anyone. I hope the owners will consider razing the place and rebuilding- it’s a nice spot.

A New Family Holiday Tradition
The property was perfect for our group of 14 (12 adults/2 children). We have always gathered in NYC the first weekend of December to see Santa and celebrate the holiday season, but this year decided to try something new....a weekend in the Poconos. Having a property with a main house and cottage fit our needs since the group also included a small dog which stayed in the Cottage, separate from a family member with allergies who stayed in the Main House. The spaces in the house are warm and cozy especially with the wood burning fireplace going. The lower level is a bit chilly, but a provided heater solved the problem.. The kitchen is equipped with cookware and serveware. The beds were comfortable. The owner is very easy to work with and responds to all questions quickly. The main house family room allowed the family to be together for meals and hanging out. The location is perfect...under 30 minutes from Jim Thorpe where we took the Santa Train and 30 minutest to Great Wolf Lodge for a day at the waterpark. Some of the group found some wonderful places to hike. The view of the lake is spectacular.

We were 5 families totaling 10 adults and 10 kids and were happy with the amount of room the two houses provided. The houses have direct access to the lake and the dock area has plenty of room to lounge. We would definitely recommend this place for large groups that are looking for a relaxing time on Lake Harmony.
