About this property

LAKEFRONT REFUGE TO ENJOY NATURE'S SERENITY

*Please note: Rates appear higher this year b/c vrbo now includes all additional fees in the daily booking rather than adding them in at the end. Our rates have not increased in 3 years.

Large Lakefront property with spectacular unobstructed views of Lake Harmony (has been quoted by previous guests as the best on the Lake). Our rustic 4 bedroom, 2.5 Bath home has been updated and is ready for your arrival. Many lovely meals can be prepared and enjoyed on the outdoor deck with access to a family size Weber Gas Grill. Enjoy a fun-filled day with use of 3 kayaks, canoe and paddle board (life vests included) from our lakefront dock. Also there is horseshoes, cornhole and a sweet Little Tikes turtle sandbox. Water skiing & raft riding are available with the amazing Captain Rob of Lake Harmony Watersports. For those wanting more adventure, many hiking and biking trails, white water rafting and tubing are available in nearby Jim Thorpe. For the little ones, Kalahari & Camelback (less than 30 minutes away) are 2 of the best water parks in the Northeast according to USA Today. Golf is also within 10 minutes at the beautiful Jack Frost National Golf Club or Split Rock Resort. Indoor fun continues with DVD's, board games, foosball, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Arcade Game, puzzles, books and Cable TV. There's six restaurants within 10 minutes and many more within 20 minutes. After a day of fun, spend time relaxing with family and friends around the lakefront fire pit while enjoying the beautiful sunset. Access to property is by private road in front of house.

This place was amazing. My kids, and husband if i am being honest, did not leave the water. They loved fishing off the dock. My favorite part was the fire pit right by the lake. Our dinner guest(deer) were wonderful. The deer pic is them right next to the deck. HIGHLY recommend this house.

prefect getaway

Our family of 6 had a relaxing getaway. The location was perfect, a fabulous view of the lake was amazing. It was a relaxing, rejuvenating, and resetting experience. Wildlife all around, restaurant, all within a short walk. A perfect home for a short or long getaway! Highly recommend this host! The house was everything we wanted - very clean, well-equipped and roomy. easy check in/out.
