Great location and house layout is good. Sheets and towels not provided and they don't mention it until it is too late to cancel. Beds are very creaky. Instructions for checkout and while you stay were extensive.

I'm glad you liked the private yet near everything location. I updated the description to make it more clear you need to bring your own linens and towels or use a local linen rental service. I do this to keep the cost and price down.

I'm glad you enjoyed your stay! We love the seclusion with the easy access to Jack Frost, Big Boulder, Jim Thorpe and the Lake. Thank you for being our guests!
House was a perfect fit for my family. Location was great for snow tubing and Jim Thorpe visiting. Restaurants nearby were fantastic (piggy’s for breakfast and boulder view tavern for lunch).
We had a great time at Jack and Alane's place! They left us a handwritten note welcoming us to their home, which was so sweet. We were only a few minutes' walk to Lake Harmony and all the restaurants; Nick's and Shenanigans (3-ish minute drive) were great; both had live music on the weekends and Nick's is right on the lake. The house is only a few minutes' walk to the lake. It rained our entire weekend, but we made the most of it and were comfy in the house when we weren't wandering. Jim Thorpe is also about 20 minutes away and is very walkable, so I highly recommend visiting. The house is stocked with everything you need, just make sure to bring sheets and bath towels, which the hosts let you know prior to visiting. They also offer access to a kayak and lake passes. Overall, it was a great 3 days!
A great house for a ski weekend with combined families. Plenty of sleeping room and our kids loved the games in the basement. Jack was an excellent host! Would definitely rent again.

There are four heat pumps in the house plus electric baseboards in each room. You can turn on the electric baseboards to supplement the heat pumps in very cold weather.
Place was better than we expected . Host J Butler responded to all my inquiries, questions in a very timely fashion . Would definitely stay again . Thank you Jack

Glad the place exceeded your expectations! Summer is a great time to come back!
The wife and i just got back from a little midweek lover's getaway. It's a beautiful house and location. Love the deck and would certainly book again during the warm months.
The property was secluded and surrounded by trees & rhododendrons. Beds & couches were comfy & kitchen was well stocked. The weather did not cooperate, so we weren't able to enjoy the outdoors & firepit. My grandson loved seeing the deer, our visits to Hickory Run State Park, Kalahari Water Park, & lunch at Piggy's

I’m glad you enjoyed the seclusion and surrounding woods. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and you can enjoy the outdoors including the lake another time!
The area was quiet and we felt very safe. We had deer visit us. Lots of things close by and within walking distance. Property manager communicated well and was helpful and quick with responses. I would definitely stay again.

About the host
Hosted by Jack Butler
Our family loves the outdoors. I grew up in Upstate New York where the winters offered plenty of skiing, sledding and ice skating. The summers were short but we enjoyed swimming and sailing on Cazenovia Lake. We moved to Pennsylvania and found our vacation home in the Poconos which we call Lakewood in honor of Lake Harmony and the Pocono woods.
Why they chose this property
Lakewood is a peaceful secluded place, backing up to 400 acres of preserved woodland. Hiking in the forest, cycling along the river trails, breathing in the fresh air and enjoying the outdoors is what makes Lakewood special. Jim Thorpe Borough is an eclectic escape for fine dining, interesting shops and hiking the D&L trail along the Lehigh River. We hope you enjoy our house and the area as much as we do!
What makes this property unique
Our home backs up to 400 acres of preserved woodlands. Located on the quiet North side of Lake Harmony, it offers a unique setting for embracing the outdoors. The deck overlooks the forest where the Rhododendrons create a lush green private space and wildlife abounds. Yet the Lake is just a quarter mile walk and a half mile takes you to the restaurants. It offers the best of both worlds!
