Great time

Me and my wife had a great no kids weekend. We got the house because of the pool table and dart boards so we were never bored. Super close to just about anything you wanted to do would definitely stay here again even with the kiddos next time lol.

Perfect location to Pocono Raceway

Loved the townhouse. We were there for the Xfinity Race with our team, great time in the game room with our crew members. Chris is great to work with. We will definitely rent again next year when we come back to Pocono.

A good staycation during the memorial day weekend!

We started by drinking hella lot and playing pool! We played pool and darts all day long and it was never boring. Did a couple hikes the next day and jumped into the pool once we were back. Just amazing! The beds were amazing and so was the patio! Had meals on the patio together and drinks after that. Good location and a good locality to just take a peaceful stroll. Get food and cook there instead of ordering. Might visit again for a yet peaceful weekend.

Perfect family getaway

As a family of 6, it isn't always easy to find an affordable getaway that also gives you great value and bang for your buck. This property accomplishes this. There are multiple large areas for everyone to hang out, with the "crown jewel" of areas, the lower level game room and bar, being the most impressive. A beautiful regulation-size pool table, two dart boards, Xbox on a giant screen TV and a 6 person bar kept everyone entertained every single night! The 3 bedrooms easily accommodated our family of 6, but the added flexibility of the bunkbeds in the loft, and the futon in the lower level is a huge plus. Every morning, we enjoyed watching multiple deer come right to the bottom of our deck to munch on some feed one of the other owners placed strategically for just that purpose. The house is located directly next to Big Boulder Lake and about 1 mile from Lake Harmony. The down side of this is that we found out that you must be a member of the Big Boulder community to take advantage of that lake's perks and Lake Harmony, although technically public, is surrounded by private residences which essentially makes that lake inaccessible also. Not a huge deal, though because there are plenty of state parks nearby with water access to please (we LOVED Beltsville Lake - public beach, super-clear water, great fishing). Also great restaurants nearby, along with Split Rock golf course, which is one of the hardest courses my son and I have played! The townhouse community does have a pool for your use, along with two tennis courts. The pool is beautiful, but chilly (you are in the mountains!) but the tennis courts are in awful condition - still ok enough to appease novice players, but that is about it. The community also needs to repave the roads within the area - some of the potholes were nearly six feet wide and felt almost as deep! Chris was VERY helpful throughout the process and the week we were there. We truly loved our stay and are already eyeing up a return in 2020! If you are looking for a great value vacation for a larger family, look no further!

Not Good

We have to say we were very disappointed in our home at Harmony Lake. The house is advertised to house12. We had 11 and had to rent the linins which I have never done before. The linins were not adequate and towels had to be shared or washed constantly. There were no dish towels and no pot holders or oven mitts. There was not silverware to accommodate more than one meal-forks etc. The bar area downstairs was very nice but no glasses or a place to wash them. The kitchen cabinets were a disaster and not clean. The living room carpets were filthy with stains and spots all over. We did not dare walk barefoot. It is advertised as lakes within walking distance. That is true but we were not informed until we got there that they are private and cannot be used unless you are a member. The pool area was very nice and we did use it. All in all our family made the best of it and we enjoyed the area and being together. However, we would never rent this home again.

Cute house for family vacation

Despite some of the hiccups that the township was dealing with at the time, the owner was very accommodating and was in constant contact about the status of the issue. The home was perfect for our family of 13 getaway, providing much space to give everyone their own personal space if needed. We had 3 kids under the age of 6 and they loved the basement and the outdoor deck. The location is 25 minutes from Jim Thorpe, where we were able to find many things to do for the grandparents all the way down to the kids.
