About this property

Classic Pocono Mountain Cottage in Split Rock

Nestled among the trees, steps away from the lake, this classic Split Rock cottage is your getaway in the middle of it all. Built in 1964, the knotty pine interior harkens back to a simpler time. The natural stone fireplace ignites with the touch of a button. A galley kitchen has all of the necessary tools to make a delicious home-cooked meal. The dining area seats six, and the wood deck and screened-in porch are great in warmer weather. Two bedrooms and one full bath complete the package.
The space
Enjoy the screened-in porch or the sunny deck. There is also a fire pit for a chilly evening by the fire.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! The cottage is a Pocono classic and I’m glad to hear that you found it to be clean, well stocked, and in a convenient location — and that you enjoyed the deer who like to visit the yard. They’re one of my favorite parts of the property too! I appreciate your feedback about the Roku TV; I’ll look into ways to make it easier for guests to use. Thanks again for staying, and I hope you’ll consider visiting again in the future. — Mark

Wonderful getaway, covenient and lovely!

Whitney Cottage was the perfect weekend getaway for us. We came for the wine festival at Split Rock, and the house couldn't have been more conveniently located. The cottage offers plenty of space, a grill and a fire pit, and is so cozy. Mark was a great and very hospitable host. I highly recommend staying here for your Lake Harmony getaways!

One of the benefits of staying at Whitney Cottage is the location! Wine fest is a short walk from the cottage, but so is the lake, the rec field, water park, and the Hub with entertainment on the weekends. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and I look forward to having you return some day.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Peterson

Host profile image
I first came to Lake Harmony in 1965 when I visited my grandparents. My family moved here in 1971 and I am very familiar with the area. My education and my career took me to Europe, New York and Los Angeles and I returned to the Lake in 2021. I have traveled extensively, with a background as a hotel concierge. I speak Spanish and French and I love to share my knowledge of the area with people.

Why they chose this property

I have owned this home since 1997 and it is one of the cutest houses on the street. Just steps away from the lake, nestled among mature trees, Whitney Cottage is a great place to get away from it all. Very quiet and not far from most activities.

What makes this property unique

Most rental properties are owned by people who do not understand the area. My cottage is cozy, comfortable and perfect for a couple or a single person. I care about the people who stay and my cottage and I want everyone to have the best experience possible.
