About this property

Lake Harmony Family Retreat – Newly Updated – “Bear Cub”

Welcome to the Bear Cub, our home away from home, close to everything in Lake Harmony but far enough away to enjoy the peace and tranquility the Poconos has to offer. We have sought to equip our home to a high standard and to anticipate your needs for a luxurious stay. We have made the effort to make the Bear Cub a cozy and comfortable retreat.
The space:
Beautiful views of the Split Rock Golf course from your deck offer a chance to view the Pocono wildlife at its finest. This 2 BR, 2 BR Townhome is equipped with a sauna to enjoy after a day on the slopes or just to help release the stress of your day to day. If you want to stay in and enjoy a nice quiet dinner, you will have a fully equipped kitchen and you are more than welcome to use the outdoor grill to barbecue.
The main bedroom has a queen bed with personal bathroom and the second bedroom contains a full bed and the second bedroom is just a few steps down the hallway. There is also a small twin pull-out to give that extra space for your tagalong guest. There is also a large pull out sofa in the living room for your sleeping comfort.
If you are traveling with small children, there is also a portable, foldable crib you can request for a low extra charge.

Things to do in the Area:
Split Rock Golf Club and Jack Frost International Golf Clubs

H2Ooooh Water Park – Split Rock Resort
Arcade and Bowling Center – Split Rock Resort

Home for the Holidays

We stayed at the Bear Cub while visiting family for the holidays, and couldn’t haven chosen a better place to call ‘home’ for a few days. The house was clean, cozy and in a perfect location. It was easy to get to, but far enough into the woods to feel the tranquility of the area. Vikki, the owner was fantastic! From the first time I emailed her with some questions about an early check in and accommodations for my dog to the communications we had after we checked out…she was responsive, caring, accommodating and helpful. I couldn’t have asked for a better ‘host.’I highly recommend the Bear Cub if you’re looking for a great little place for whatever brings you to town. I will certainly book this home again when I’m visiting family in the area. Thank you, Vikki, for opening your home to me so I could spend more time with my family.

The place was adorable…clean and comfortable…our only complaint was the entire place smelled so strongly of marijuana …I’m pretty sure it was from the people next to us because we could hear them, but other than that we very happy with our stay

Great stay

Vikki was a great host. Went up in a snowstorm and property was without power but she acted quick and took us to a bigger house that we loved. Really acted quick and was accommodating. Would recommend again and stay again!

A winner at Lake Harmony!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was well appointed, very clean, spacious and modern. The property manager was very acommodating and friendly, and also was extremely responsive to any inquiries or requests. Strongly recommend a stay here if you want some peace and quiet with a little entertaining night life mixed in too! 5 Stars all day long.. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
