Host was unavailable for three hours for help with check in. She responded once security and management involved. The information was sent outside of the Vrbo app and not from anything associated with Vrbo. This is fine but it was not communicated. The host number listed on app was not a working number. The lake was being drained and I was also informed after arrival and management involved. I welcome the host reaching out to me to try to make the situation right but I again have not heard from her. The room was as listed but do not recommend.

It was a nice place to get away to get away but there was not much to do and the food near the town was not great. If you want to get away with your partner it's great but I recommend buying food at the supermarket and cook yourself.

This was our first trip to the Poconos and though we were hoping for better skiing weather the trip was pretty good! We had a couple of issues getting into the place because of a lock problem but the owners were very helpful and had staff come as soon as possible to remedy the problem. Loved the location and the unit was very comfortable.

We went in the summer and The location exceeded out hopes for great hiking, swimming in lakes and pools, canoeing and kayaking. We had never been to the Poconos. The place is good. Be sure to bring all your extras (paper towels, dishwasher detergent) and do not expect more than the bare minimum.

Property was exactly as described, and communication with the property manager was great. Despite some initial confusion getting the access codes for the unit, she quickly resolved the access over the phone and was flexible when we needed to drop off some stuff due to an early arrival.
The unit was clean (maybe excessively so with a strong smell of Clorox when we arrived, but given current conditions that is far preferable to under-clean), spacious, and had all the essentials. The location by Big Boulder is great, and would be lovely in the summer due to the pool being nearby - in winter the view off the lake was still wonderful.
The unit is also deceptively spacious - which was wonderful for us - there was a large entry room with lots of hooks and space for coats and equipment, and one of the 2 bedrooms was separated from the other rooms, which was perfect to give the older boy with us some privacy/space. The fireplace was wonderful as well, and warmed us every night. We would definitely consider staying again.

Clean and spacious apartment with great lake view. There are few restaurants near by. Many hikes to explore.
Jim Thorpe which is within 1 hour from this place was our favorite.

Overall it was great...with a few exceptions ...was under the impression there were no pets allowed only to find out the unit had previous had a cat in it..I know this because of the cat liter I swept up and the asthma attack my son had (who's allergic to cats)....The unit itself was not as clean as I would have expected...I clean myself upon coming in because of my kids allergies and asthma and the floors was gross...cigarette butts on the patio...and very dusty....but other than that minor issue we had a wonderful vacation...and the rest of the unit was great!! Thank u for allowing us to stay...we had a wonderful experience!!!

It was decent overall. The living room wasn’t up to date. Kitchen had soiled utensils in the cabinet
Not enough towels were there. There were glass pieces lying on the rug in the living room. There was no hair dryer. The host was rude and not responsive at times.

Nice condo with great view of Big Boulder Lake
We spent three weeks in August at this lake view condo. Everything was as promised. There was plenty of space for our children and grandchildren to visit. They enjoyed the lake activities and the condo pool was close by our place. The condo owners joined the Boulder Lake club, but there was still a fee to use the lake. It was $50 a week for six people and well worth it. It worked nicely for us. There are many restaurants nearby and only a short walk to the Boulder View Tavern. We will return if we are able to get away next summer.

Beautiful area and spacious home
My family of four and I really enjoyed our stay at the condo. The view from the balcony is lovely and the condo itself is very spacious. The kids had their own room and bathroom which was really nice. There are many board games to keep yourselves busy on rainy days. The condo pool is set by the lake and felt truly like a vacation spot.
Hickory Run State Park trails are really nice and just a few minutes away. We spent every morning hiking and every afternoon swimming!
Lake Harmony is beautiful and Boulder Lake Club was a very short drive away. The lake club was affordable and relaxing.
We ate at Louie's Primehouse and had one of the best meals we have had in a long time. It is pricey but worth it!
Overall, we loved out experience and recommend to others!

Very happy overall but a few quirks for those who are new to services like this
The backstory: I booked this property at Lake Harmony for a bachelor party as a nice getaway for our groom-to-be and us three groomsmen. The location was everything we wanted and then some. Secluded enough to not be stressed out, but close enough to civilization to not feel stranded. The weather wasn't great so we didn't spend much time outdoors but that's obviously just the way things go sometimes. We still greatly enjoyed our weekend getaway.
The good: The condo was in great shape and definitely big enough for four adults. Very clean, very well maintained. The instructions/welcome message was pretty detailed and we didn't have much trouble getting settled in, turning on the A/C and water, etc. There was also a welcome binder provided with some contact information and a few suggestions for local businesses. Both the bedrooms and bathrooms were large and accommodating. The kitchen was fully stocked with anything we could need to prepare food, and having a dishwasher as well as a washing machine and dryer in-unit were nice touches, although we didn't need them.
The not-so-good: It was rather jarring to use the bathroom only to find out that there was no soap to wash our hands. That was when we also noticed that no toiletries were provided as well. While in hindsight this makes sense as it's not a hotel, it would've been nice to include that information in the welcome message I received. The furniture and decor was rather dated and honestly it looked thrown together at random. The television was older and rather small for the living room area, and many of the DVDs provided were bootlegs that the DVD player would not read. The king bed was comfortable enough. Probably on par with the average hotel bed. However, I would've rather slept on the floor than one of the two full size beds. They were extremely stiff and felt as if they were made of plastic.
All in all, I'd recommend this location to anyone looking for a quick escape. I'd love to come back with my family for a full week to maybe take full advantage of the outdoor activities and pool/hot tub. It was fantastic for our needs, but I wish I would've known about the lack of soap. Having to go back out for something so simple when there was a cupboard full of expensive dinnerware was annoying, especially when you really consider the cost of the visit.

Good location, wonderful get-away!
This condo is very nice -- a little dated -- but it has (almost) everything you need. My husband and I stayed there with another couple. It was very nice to have 2 full baths, so each couple could have their own. Open plan, which is great for conversation. Comfortable living room with a big TV -- cable channels are limited but there are many movie DVDs to watch and board games to play. Dining area is nice and seats 6 comfortably. Lots of pots and pans in the kitchen, cooking utensils, drip coffeemaker (Mr. Coffee maybe?), regular sized fridge and range, and a working dishwasher. There are cleaning supplies and even an iron!
Things you may want to bring along: bath soap and shampoo (this isn't a hotel and they are not supplied -- we forgot to bring some), extra towels if there are more than 4 of you, extra pillows if you like 2 or more on your bed, some bowls and spoons -- they were in short supply (there are enough other dishes and glassware though).
We were the only people in the condo building when we got there -- other people started showing up towards the weekend. I think there are only 4 units in this building. Noise was not a problem. This was our first time doing VRBO and we all agreed we would do it again. It was nice having a slower start to the day, rather than rushing to a dining room before they closed.

Great weekend getaway!
My family and I enjoyed staying at this lovely property. There was plenty of space for five adults. Everything we needed was provided and the host was great to deal with.The Condo was situated near the lake and close to many local events. We were able to enjoy hiking and the fall festival at Jim Thorpe, not far from here. We would love to come back and stay here during other seasons as well.
4.5
Very disappointing. We will not return.
Upon arrival, we discovered that the listed amenities (pool and jacuzzi) were in fact closed. The apt. itself looked and and run down. There was no soap in the bathroom/shower! The towels looked old and very unappealing. The internet speed was so slow that we could not even use it to actually conduct a speed-test online and ended up using my phone as a hotspot.
All in all, a very unpleasant stay :(
4.5
Great property and area!
The condo is well stocked overall.
The view is great. Kitchen stocked adequately with cooking supplies.
Comfortable family room.
Beds comfortable.
Pool is heated which was great since after a day of rain it was cool and still able to swim.
The membership to the lake is a bonus. Lake is beautiful and lots to do, kayaks, paddleboards, another pool, games, bar/food lakeside.
Also bonus within a few minutes great lakeside dining.
Mostly walked everywhere which was great!
No kids on phones!!!! All engaged with friends, family and activities!!!
Would have appreciated a few more towels.
Would definitely go back.

In love with the place
My family and I loved the place. It was very clean, the neighborhood is great. I would definitely come back here and recommend it to anyone. Very relaxing, peaceful and many things to do. The only that needs to be fixed is the wifi, it was very slow and the bed sheets did not smell clean. Other than that the place was great.

This is the second year my family and I stayed here.
The owner was very easy to deal with, and the down payment is sent within days of our departure. My family and I enjoy this rental due to the location/layout. This is our 2nd year renting and the only thing I would recommend is a DVD player in the living room - as we rented movies and had to watch them on the bedroom tv which is a lot smaller.

Good place for a small family
Nice two bedroom condo - it was great for our family of four. The only downside was the tv selection but that didn't really matter - outside of missing a hockey game. Great place would go again.
