Best Location in the Poconos - Walk to Beach or Slopes!
Lake Activities, Skiing, Hiking, Swimming and SO much more at your fingertips.
Perfect Location -- Our end unit townhome is a part of two renowned Poconos Lake communities (Lake Harmony and Big Boulder Lake) and two awesome ski mountains (Big Boulder Mountain and Jack Frost Ski Resort).
Our home is perfect for one or two families, or for 3-4 adult couples. Sleeps 8 comfortably, with a max of 10.
The Space: Steps to the ski mountains in the winter. In the summer, enjoy access to the private beach, lakeside community pool, tennis courts, and more.
We put in brand new flooring throughout the house in Nov 2023.
The living room on the main floor has a gas fireplace and new 43” wifi TV with Roku for all your streaming needs. We have board games both for kids and of the adult variety.
The dining table seats 6 (up to 8 if you squeeze a bit) and the kitchen makes it easy to cook for a crowd (or heat up the leftovers from some of the area’s nearby restaurants).
Our home also has a back deck off the kitchen with a new gas grill. With a dining patio table for 10.
The master bedroom is on the main floor with king bed + a private, renovated bathroom with jetted tub and separate shower. There are two more bedrooms upstairs (Queen bed in one and a Twin over Queen bunk bed in the other) with a shared full bath. These mattresses are all new cool gel memory foam mattresses. We get a ton of compliments on their comfort.
There is a finished basement with a new Queen memory foam bed and 2 Futons, with its own half bath. The basement also has a living area with a new 55” 4k TV with ROKU.
The kitchen is fully equipped (4 of 5 appliances are less than two years old). We provide linens, towels, soap, and shampoo/conditioner. Just bring your own toothbrush! We ask only that you treat our house as you would your own. It’s not just a rental; we use it with our families!
During the winter, the mountains feature skiing, snowboarding and tubing. We’re also just a few minutes away from Split Rock resort with a huge indoor water park, or within a 30 minute drive you’ll also find the Khalahari water parks or Camelback skiing and waterpark.
In the summer, there are tennis courts a stone’s throw from the house, and a short walk away you’ll have access to the private Boulder Lake Club which offers a heated pool, private lake beach, children’s activities, playground, more tennis courts, volleyball, subsidized boat rentals (pontoon boats, kayaks, canoes, rowboats and paddle boats/boards), and more. You can purchase guest passes during the summer season to the Boulder Lake Club: the first 4 weekly passes are just $150 total, and then $25 per person for additional weekly passes.
Well trained and housebroken dogs are allowed for an additional pet fee of $55/day per dog (no cats). This is capped at $285/stay. Non-shedding dogs of any size are allowed OR very lightly shedding dogs that are <25 lbs. NO DOGS THAT SHED MODERATELY OR HEAVILY. We personally love all doggies but our cleaners can't keep up otherwise. We simply ask that you be responsible owners and be sure that your pet doesn't leave ample evidence of their presence :)
During the rest of the year, explore all the nearby towns. Go rafting, golfing, shopping, hiking, see waterfalls, and so much more within just a short drive!

House was in perfect condition, well equipped with kitchen utensils, exactly as described. Host was very accommodating and always available to answer any questions. Would definitely recommend this house.
great time!! awesome location… plan on rebooking for next years trip to pocono for track weekends. we were greeted by the wildlife when we arrived. they helped with the check-in process but did not carry bags into home ..lol
Lovely, large townhouse in the woods (with deer roaming in the backyard). With heated pool and nearby beach club, this is the perfect, year round spot for a family vacation!
how was perfect had everything we needed and wanted house was very clean and was pretty close to alot of hiking trails i am bery happy i chose to go here for my vacation it was very much worth it
We needed a place to stay while our home underwent some renovations so we decided to book a place not too far away and it became a vacation instead of just a place to hide out. The owner communicated beyond efficiently and the house was so beautiful and clean. It had everything we needed to make our stay so convenient. I would definitely stay again for a getaway without any hesitation. This is a year round place so can’t wait to return and experience it in the fall and/or winter!A in my book!
Immaculate, cozy, and great amenities. We loved this place. It was truly a great escape from the city with deer right in the backyard. The house was incredibly clean and comfortable. The local restaurants were great and the Boulder lake club was perfect for the kids. We would definitely stay here again.
check in was a breeze and the home was clean from top to bottom. Beds were extremely comfortable. Plenty of towels, linens and kitchen supplies. We had a wonderful time and are looking forward to future visits!!

Thanks! We can't wait to host you next year! or later this year :)
This is a great lake house in Lake Harmony- we stayed for my son's college graduation and it was the perfect size for my family. Home comes with a lot of amenities, and great communication from owners.
Lovely townhome in a beautiful neighborhood. Very close to Big Boulder and Split Rock. Convenient to many activities - water parks, tubing and skiing.
Host was very quick to respond. Would definitely stay here again!

Thanks Betsy!!! Would love to host you again anytime !
Great location! The house had all the amenities we needed, we loved the layout. Great community. Host was extremely accommodating, quick to respond and communicate with us to ensure everything went well for our stay. Great place for a summer family vaca, we can’t wait to go back for a winter stay!
The town house is clean and well equipped. Close to our favorite locations in Poconos: Boulder Field and Hickory Run.
It was raining most of the time during our stay, but we still enjoyed.
Great place for a quick weekend getaway. We booked last-minute, the process and communication were seamless. The condo was clean, had plenty of sleeping spaces and was well equipped. We would rent from Jordan again in the future.
What a great house! It was very clean, great location and we were able to bring our dog! Super close to Big Boulder and had a great view of the mountain as well. Having the linens and towels included was so helpful! The home was well stocked with all of the necessities so it made so easy to pack especially for a quick getaway. I would absolutely stay here again!

My sister and our families had such a nice Thanksgiving weekend. It was comfortable, clean and cozy. We felt right at home once we arrived. It was clean, we had enough room Amd we
We were comfortable and relaxed. My daughter and son in law took the grandgirls to the beach and enjoyed. I walked a lot. It was quiet which we liked because we came to relax. Jordan Goldberg, one of the owners was quite receptive.

House had everything we needed. Great location. Cozy fireplace. Communicative host. Zero complaints. Only good things to say. Will definitely look for
This listing next time we plan trip to poconos.
Condo was perfect for our family. More than enough space. Owner was very organized. He gave us all the info we needed to be comfortable at the house. He was readily available to answer some questions that came up. Access to Beach Club a real bonus. Near to Lake Harmony, Split rock water park, Hickory Run State park and several good restaurants.

Thanks Steven! Happy to host you and your family again anytime!
I rented for the week with my family and the house was very clean and the location was close to everything! The boulder lake club was fun and we were able to rent a spot for our kayaks for the week which was quite convenient.
The only downside of the stay is originally there was a pool table in the pics when I rented but when I got there it was not In working condition. Also, the table on the back deck is in poor shape and one of the chairs was broken. It got the job done though.
Excellent vacation over all and really great host!

Thanks Tara! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to host you again! We do have the best cleaning team :) I apologize for the pool table confusion - it is in the unfinished/storage side of the basement and not intended for use, so I’ve been very careful to not include it in any pics or advertise it the listing description at any point. It came with the house when we bought it and we’re having it removed.
The back porch table is only two years old but sadly the finish came off after the first season! We’ll look to refinish it or upgrade to trex instead of real wood….And thanks for bringing the broken chair to our attention! we are at the house this week and will replace it!
We welcome all feedback and always look to make improvements to our house.
Great communication, very minor issues, would stay again
We had a very nice stay at the property on May 10-12, 2023. Jordan was extremely helpful and very quick to respond to any issues. At one point we smelled natural gas and let Jordan know. He made sure to contact all the appropriate people and got someone out to the house to resolve the issue as soon as possible. The carpet was dirty when we arrived and there were semi-wet towels in the dryer, but the house was clean otherwise. The bed in the basement was pretty uncomfortable from all the springs, but we slept well enough on it. We would stay here again.

Thank you Rachel for staying with us! We take great pride in the exceptional feedback we typically get on the cleanliness of our home so your concern has been relayed to our team. Our handyman stopped by for a minor fix shortly before arrival and should not have walked on the rug with work boots after it was cleaned.
We have new memory foam mattresses on all beds except the basement. Our guests frequently ask where we purchased them. We will now be replacing the basement one as well based on your feedback regarding the springs. Thanks again!!!!
Perfect place to be snowed in during January 2021 storm! Let's start with the location...just up the street from Big Boulder. We skied Jack Frost until 4pm, stopped at the house for quick dinner then dropped big kids off at Big Boulder for night skiing, back to the house for cocktails until we needed to pick up the big kids. Little kids made a sledding hill right next to property (owner provided sled!). The property was very clean, comfortable and fully stocked. Check-in was easy, property instructions very clear and owners were very responsive (allowed us to stay an extra night because of the snow). WiFi even allowed 5 kids to attend school virtually with 2 adults working on laptops too! Plenty of space for everyone to relax and we took advantage of all the games the owners provided (Jenga, Uno, Scattergories, Cards Against Humanity!). Would definitely recommend staying here again.
