Girls Winter Weekend

We had a great time at the condo last weekend. It was very clean and had everything you would need. They supplied the basics for cleaning in the kitchen which was very helpful. The view is great and the location is super convenient to everything. The beds were comfortable. Communication with the hosts was great as well. They were very responsive.

Very Nice Pocono Retreat

My sister and I spent 3 days & 2 nights at this second floor condo with a gorgeous view. The condo was very clean & cozy, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well- stocked. Having two full bathrooms was a plus. Bring your own bath soap & shampoo/ conditioner as they were not supplied, but there was plenty of dish & laundry detergent as well as basic kitchen items.

Great place!

This was the perfect location for a quiet few days to end the summer. The apartment was very roomy, very clean, the hosts were extremely communicative. Everything went very smoothly from booking this property to checking out. I will definitely be returning here at a later date. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a getaway. It was really five stars all around

Wonderful Experience

I booked this condo for my parents who also brought along my 7 year old nephew … They had a wonderful time and said they would absolutely stay again in the future. The place was extremely clean, modern, and very well kept. The owners were friendly and communicated with us every step of the way! I would give more than 5 stars if we could

Lake Harmony outstanding vacation

This condo was exactly as pictured and described. We did so much and enjoyed every minute. My granddaughters aged 6 & 8 cried because we were leaving. That’s a first for any place we’ve stayed. Visited pocono raceway, did atv mudding, went fishing, pontoon boat on the lake and wonderful pool days. Condo had everything you could ask for. Thank you Amendolas.

Relaxing

Had a wonderful stay at Lake Harmony! Our gracious hosts provided us with all the amenities to make our stay convenient and comfortable. The unit is lovely and overlooks the pool and lake...GORGEOUS VIEW! There was just the my husband and I, but the 2 bedroom/bath unit could accommodate 6, more than enough space. Loved my stay and hope to come back again soon. Thank you Megan and Duane!

WOW! Amazing Home!

What a beautiful, clean, well appointed, home. Decorated very nicely. When you walk in the door, the view blows you away. The location is great, within walking distance to Boulder View Tavern (yum!!), and very close to Big Boulder Ski Resort. You can see the slopes from the living room. About a 15-20 minute drive to Jack Frost. There is a nice walking path around the community. Bedrooms- very comfortable! The primary bedroom has a king bed that was very comfortable, television, and full bath. The second bedroom was perfect for our friends as their son was able to join last minute for a nice break from studies at UMD College Park. There were two beds in the second bedroom, and access to the bathroom from the bedroom. Living Room- Very comfortable with a large window that overlooks the lake and pool. I imagine this would be an amazing place to stay in the summer time as you literally have the pool right outside your door! Nice, big screen TV over the cozy fireplace (and wood is provided!!). Kitchen-has everything you need. Both a Keurig AND a drip coffee maker! Really nice toaster oven, and a nice supply of pots, pans, and utensils. There is also a blender and crockpot in the closet. The hosts are very responsive. We had no issues whatsoever, but I imagine if we had, there would have been no problem with getting them resolved. Overall, very impressed with this property. If we return for another ski weekend at Big Boulder, we will definitely stay here!

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this property because of the incredible views of the lake from the back patio and nearly the entire unit. We love how fun the pool is in the summer, the watching the leaves change over the lake from the patio in the fall, how close we are to great skiing in the winter, and the proximity to numerous all-year-round activities! We really consider this to be our favorite Retreat!
