My family enjoyed staying in this large comfortable house. The log cabin was an extra bonus so we had plenty of room. Hot tub and fire pit also great features!
My friends and I had an amazing weekend at this property. Barry is so nice and accommodating, and made this process incredibly easy. The property is absolutely beautiful and we had an amazing time. I will definitely be staying at this beautiful property again!
This review was a mistake and the guest wrote to us and VRBO the following two emails regarding the error.
Barry and Skylar, There is a review on your website from "Sharon b" that has your house rated a "2 Terrible"! That i 100% a mistake! We very much enjoyed our state and would very likely want to come back. I can't explain how that happened, but it is an error. Can you delete it and I will be happy to give you a review. Honestly, I don't recall even providing a review! If there is a Vrbo contact, please pass this along.
Dear Vrbo, The review you have for “Sharon b” is an error! I would have never rated this house a “2”. We had a wonderful experience and would love to return in the future. Please remove this review, and kindly resend me the review rating so this can be set straight.
Not only did this guest write VRBO about the error, but we spent over an hour on the phone with them and even with her two emails they did not fix the problem right away. This is an error caused by VRBO and it should have been removed immediately. We are working diligently to have VRBO correct this error.
We really enjoyed our stay here at 51 & 55 Estates! Beautiful wooded area, surrounded by wildlife, made it a very enjoyable and peaceful stay. We came for a golf trip and the courses in the area were really nice Barry & Skylar were great hosts and attended to any needs that happen to arise. A bonus was that the property had plenty of beds and two hot tubs for use. I would highly recommend this property for any family or friends trip!
Very large group of friends and family stayed at large house and a cabin to celebrate New Years holiday! Very nice house, has everything to comfortably host 20+ people. Hot tub outside is amazing and great way to relax.
It was my husband’s 40th birthday getaway and we had family and friends come together ranging from 9 months old to 70 years old. Everyone LOVED the location and home. We stayed in the main house and cabin and it was more than enough space to spread out and the kids loved the outdoors and game room. No complaints, we would definitely book with Barry again! Great communication and clean homes.
My mother, brothers, sisters in law and our kids stayed in the main house and cabin. There were 13 of us including a bunch of teens and early 20 year olds. It was perfect for us. Plenty of room for us to be together and play board games that we brought, cards with poker chips that were in the house, and all the wonderful big games that were in the house like pop a shot, shuffleboard, and pool. There was also plenty of room for us to have privacy. We saw tons of deer and even a bear, who had no interest in us at all, but gave everyone a bit of a thrill. The hosts were extremely responsive and everyone agreed they would stay in the house again.

Thank you for this wonderful review. We are so happy that you enjoyed the house and all it has to offer. We hope you come back again.
(This review was written while sitting at dinner with everyone who attended the trip from 8/20 -8/27)
Even before we got to the house for the trip, Barry and his son Skylar (who I kept in communication with theoughout the week) were very helpful with meeting the needs of my friends and I. While this was an end of the summer trip for us, we also use the space to record and write music for our brand and this space was perfect for that. It was spacious enough that we did not feel crowded among each other, but also still close enough that we didn’t feel far away from each other. Everyone was happy to have had a comfortable bed to sleep in. Also, his property manager Renee was also very helpful stopping by and giving us information on the area and things to do. All of my friends and I agreed that we would absolutely love to rent from Barry and Skylar again.
We reserved both houses next door to each other for a large family reunion. The kitchen and outdoor space of the larger house was able to accommodate 20 people for group meals, and it was easy to keep the kids entertained between the beach (walkable!), bike riding, Pac man, and playing in the large circular drive. Houses did not look like they had been cleaned when we checked in (visible dirt on carpets and garbage still in the trashcans inside). The hosts were so responsive and helpful throughout on other issues that I am sure they would have sent someone to clean if we had asked, but we were already there and it seemed easier to just clean it ourselves than wait. Not a great start, but otherwise the properties were both great and had everything we needed for a large group long weekend.

Maggie,
Thank you for the review. We are happy your group enjoyed your stay and that the houses were able to comfortably accommodate everyone in your group. We would call the cleaning issue an outlier as our cleaning service normally leaves the houses in great condition and you are correct that we would have had someone over there right away to remedy any issue if you had let us know. Please see the links to two listings below to see the over 120 five star reviews of one home, and the other with over 125 five star reviews. We do hope you will consider renting with us again in the future.

About the host
Hosted by Poconos Lake Rentals owned by Barry and Kari Katz
I was born in 1951 and my wife and I have 3 children, all in their 20s. I grew up on Long Island and moved to the Philadelphia area in 1990. I currently live about a mile from Villanova University. I graduated from Georgetown University and my wife graduated from Drexel. This property was purchased by us to help provide for retirement income.
Why they chose this property
This is by far the best deal in Lake Harmony for large groups. We do not gauge prices and care about our guests enjoyment. You will not find a nicer place to relax and enjoy the Poconos. You can relax in the hot tub or play pool or foosball with your family and friends. Or just sit by the gas or wood fireplace and relax after a day of skiing, snowboarding or tubing, or golf, skirmish or rafting in the warmer weather. In the Estates Lodge the two separate upstairs areas (one with a kitchette) are perfect for multiple family groups. The log cabin a few feet away is so comfy and unique you will never want to leave. The furnishings are all top of the line.
What makes this property unique
Two houses, but plenty of room to gather together in the Estates Lodge or the 1 1/2 acres outside with multiple picnic tables and furniture. Hot tub, pool table, foosball, gas fireplace, many large smart flat screen tvs, cable, wireless, two levels in Estates Lodge and separate areas in the house to relax. Log Cabin is so special you will want to call it home.
