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.

Truly enjoyed our stay at Whitney Cottage. The only suggestions I would make is that we would have liked curtains, considering there were some young people wandering the neighborhood outside the house one night and the fan in the master bedroom needs to secured better. It wobbles too much. Other than that, we were very happy and plan to come back.

Hi Jim, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review—I'm really glad you enjoyed your stay at Whitney Cottage! I appreciate your suggestion about the curtains and the ceiling fan in the master bedroom. That kind of feedback is incredibly helpful, and I'm already looking into addressing both to make sure everything feels as comfortable and secure as possible for our guests. It means a lot to hear that you were happy overall, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime. I’m looking forward to your next visit! Warmly, Mark

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.
