About this house rental
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. Large, non-shedding dog and/or small, lightly shedding dogs. No large shedding dogs are allowed (we had some trouble with labs who left too much hair for our cleaners). 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!
Parking for up 4 cars.

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.

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!

4.0 / 10.0
Kitchen and dining room floor marred with old tape from a previous carpet. Inadequate dining table and chairs for number of guests, sleeping 10. Sofa slip covers inappropriate for upscale rental. Poor lighting throughout the home. Sheets are so low quality that they kept coming off the mattress. Carpeting was dirty snd wrinkled. Overall, Disappointing for an upscale property. Wide-angle lens pictures gave a distorted view of the size of the interior of the property.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

It was a well stocked house in a pretty neighborhood. The deer were friendly and there were lots of things to do if you were so inclined but it was just as nice just enjoying the setting on the deck. The owners were very responsive to any questions about the property or surrounding areas.

Pocono Retreat
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The house was large enough to accommodate 5 adults, 2 children and our little yorkie. The house was pretty well stocked with most essentials and the beds were extremely comfortable. Short driving distance to the pool and lake, however, unable to go into the lake due to a drop off a few feet from the sand. Our family did enjoy the pool everyday, nearby water park and convenience to quaint restaurants. The outside deck overlooked the woods which made for a tranquil setting and the development was very quiet. Jordan was very friendly, easy to communicate with and check in was a breeze. We had a great, relaxing week at this rental property and the weather was perfect!

This property has a great location even though the weather didn’t cooperate for skiing, we were able to take a nice walk to the Big Boulder ski area to check it out.

We enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend in Lake Harmony/Big Boulder. The property is in a great location We enjoyed local restaurants, hiking, and even a couple days of light snow. You can see the Big Boulder mountain trails from the back deck and probable upstairs, but we stayed on the first floor during our visit. We utilized the grill and the well stocked kitchen. The master bedroom on the first floor was comfortable with a new bathroom and plenty of storage. The house is pet friendly and offered a view of deer passing by that kept our dog entertained. The hosts provided a plethora of information on the property and surrounding area. We enjoyed our long weekend in the Poconos and appreciate the hosts attention to detail. Looking forward to our next visit!

Great Property
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.
