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 two full baths complete the package. There is also a fire pit for a chilly evening by the fire.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Wow! Mark thought of everything to make us feel at home. The property was lovely and well cared for, as well as close to restaurants, groceries, etc., and beautiful hiking at Hickory Run. We spent a lot of time in the screened in porch for meals and games. We saw MANY deer on the property, which the kids loved, but no bears. Highly recommend this property!

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.
