Guests must understand that this is a s for safety and to adhere to all rules.

Great house for a family. Plenty to do.
The property was as advertised. Visited over Christmas Holidays. Best feature was the game room. The upstairs great room was recently updated and very comfortable. Great TV over fireplace, big dining room table and well stocked kitchen. The bedrooms were warm and comfortable. Some parts of the house are a bit rustic but everything works. Wildlife all around. Close to restaurants and ski areas. Hosts were accommodating and communicated well. Overall, we had a great stay!

As Promised
We booked this place over Columbus Day weekend as it was fairly equidistant for 5 HS friends reuniting. We're pretty low maintenance in general, but Tim and BJ made sure that we were all set up for any activities or reservations that we may desire. I'm fairly sure that we'll all be buying shuffleboard tables for our houses to practice for the next get together. Yes there are leaves and spiders and debris here and there, but it's the woods and that's kinda the point. Very happy with the stay and would definitely recommend.

Owners are not easy to reach, especially with problems during our stay.
Visited this home at the end of July 2021. Had lots of questions prior to visiting the home, and after many phone calls and emails, unfortunately we had a lot of trouble getting a response from the owners. They seem to be very nice when you get ahold of them, but good luck trying to do so. We were lured into this house by its location to Lake Harmony, its ability to sleep 12, and their generous offer of giving a discount to first responders, doctors and educators. In our group, we had a few teachers and an MD, so this was a nice offering. However, even after sending proof of employment as a teacher, the owners still haven't submitted this discount. They've ignored the topic practically every time we emailed about it. The house itself is moderately sized, and has a number of decently spaced bedrooms. However, as it is a rental property, the owners were very cheap on things like hollow body doors and sub-par doorknobs. (bedrooms and bathrooms) We know this because one of the doorknobs locked up and prevented two of us from getting out of the room for close to 30 minutes. After we finally unscrewed the broken door knob, and pushed the door in, we were able to get out. We tried to notify the owners as soon as possible, and they ignored our messages. Just to add insult to injury, not only did the owner NOT respond to us, or even email to see if everyone was ok, but they sent me a bill for a new door. Unbelievable!! Also, the owners have digital locks installed on the exterior doors, and they only provide the renters with the code for the bottom lock. When we arrived back from a day trip, the top lock had tripped somehow, and we were locked out of the house. Again, after notifying the owners, there was no response. As far as the constant inability to communicate, the owners claimed there were medical issues running through the family, which prevented them from responding to any messages. However, the owners were extremely difficult to reach prior to our arrival, so I'm not so sure how applicable this is to our stay. Long story short, this was a VERY expensive stay for two nights, and I appreciate the owners seem like a nice husband and wife. However, I would think pretty hard about spending lots of money on a rental like this where the owners can just disappear when you need them to respond.

Great Experience
From booking to arrival back home, this was a wonderful experience. The house was perfect for our family trip to celebrate my birthday. There was plenty of room, the house was stocked with all the kitchen necessities for cooking meals and the pool table and fooseball games were a lot of fun on a rainy day! The owners were FANTASTIC and very friendly. They made great recommendations for things to do and places to eat. They even surprised Me at the restaurant with a slice of amazing carrot cake on my birthday! Very thoughtful and went out of their way to ensure we enjoyed our time in their home.

Terrific Getaway!
This house was just as advertised. It had enough room for our whole group and fun activities at the house to keep us entertained. We loved the game room, hot tub, and fire pit. We did two excellent hikes and hired a boat for tubing and wake-boarding. The house was comfortable and we had all the kitchen items needed to cook three meals a day. The community is inviting and friendly and we loved getting to know Lake Harmony. Our communication with Tim and Breanna was simple, easy and very quick. They helped us prep for the trip and gave us ideas for activities. Perfect way to escape for a few days and would go back again!

Dissatisfied Renter—-Ellen
When I first arrived , I entered the downstairs bathroom to find only one lightbulb working out of six. Somewhat hard to see. I called to see if bulbs were available in the house so I could replace them and was told they would call the cleaning people but never received lightbulbs. We showered in the dim lit bathroom. Arriving August 1, expecting air conditioning in the rental property, I was very surprised to find there were only 2 window units in the upstairs bedrooms. It was hot out and the temperature was 89 degrees downstairs where the game room and 2 bedrooms were located !! This was nit what was listed on the rental site and definitely not what I paid for. When I questioned the air conditioning I wax told to open the windows at night to let the cool air in and many of the windows did not have screens in or just were unable to be opened. Again, not what I paid for. When I tried to use the fan in the living room to try and blow cooler air downstairs it had a blade broken off and was not operational. It was very uncomfortable for my family members that had to sleep downstairs! The trellis that was supposed to be around the hot tub was half torn Dow and thrown all over the ground which I felt was a safety hazard for my 4 and 6 year old grandsons. There was a broken window next to the sliding glass door leading to the deck, another safety hazard. On the website is listed as having a community pool which is false information, I was told there is a lake, no pool! The refrigerator was not operating properly and we had to use coolers and ice for 1 1/2 days, which was difficult with food and drinks for 14. Tim did send a repairman out on Saturday and the repairman spent 3-4 hours with us. That situation was corrected . My family and I departed early due to the lack of air conditioning . The cost of this rental was not what it was promoted as. When I called and texted the owners on Sunday before departing, I received no response. I just don’t want other families to find themselves in this situation, it was very embarrassing to have family so uncomfortable. I had taken pictures but unfortunately this review site does not allow for posting of pictures. I did file a report with VRBO regarding my experience. Just an FYI, although I did not know you could call VRBO within the first 12 hours if conditions were unacceptable and they would refund your money and provide you with a new rental in the area. Good to know for future use. Ellen

Weekend with Friends
A group of 10 of us stayed in the house for the weekend. Property owner and manager made the entire process seamless - from rental, to check in / out, to any questions while we were there. Listing is true to the property. In a great area of the Poconos with great accessibility to the nearby lake, restaurants, and casino. Would be happy to stay here again.

Great playroom downstairs and easy place to settle in. Stayed warm, despite it being 5 degrees out. Great recommendations from the owner on local restaurants. Close to skiing, waterpark and more. Super fun. Highly recommend!

The chalet was recently updated, central to everything and very entertaining
My friends and I came here for a weekend to celebrate a bachelor party. I was the best man and staying at the Bear Hug Chalet made me look like a genius. To start, Tim the owner was very attentive and helpful throughout the process. He would regularly call or email to make sure we were all set. This included thorough instructions on how to get to and get in the property. He also provided excellent suggestions for outdoor activities, dining and nightlife. The chalet was the perfect size with the amount of sleeping space at this property (7 total guys). When we weren't out and back at the property, the game room kept everyone entertained and competitive. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking, the hot tub is a nice touch and the deck is huge for everyone to hang out on. I would highly recommend this property. It helped make a memorable weekend.
