Conde' Nast Travel Editor named this house her 'Favorite Vacation Rental! 12/2023
Modern touches with fun game room, hot tub (may 7 2023) and large spaces will provide the perfect setting for you and yours! This home was designed for couples in mind! The Poconos isn't just for large groups! It's time to bring LOVE back to Lake Harmony! Perfect for just the two of you or add a few more friends or family with plenty of room to spare. Vaulted tongue and groove ceilings in the living area along with floor to ceiling windows on the front of the house will put you right in vacation mode. One of the best front porches In the neighborhood will give you a great spot to smoke a stogie, sip a cocktail, and reconnect. We’ve met all of our neighbors via the front porch, it’s our favorite spot!
The house has 2 deceptively large areas:
Living Space: The front of the home holds the Living room and kitchen. Two sofas provide seating for 5, bookshelves stocked with books, magazines, games and record player for your enjoyment. A Smart TV over the gas fireplace is ready to go with local cable stations or any streaming service you want to log into. The huge stone fireplace is centrally located w new propane insert providing warm cozy nights simply by clicking a remote control. The stainless-steel kitchen offers a large refrigerator/freezer, floor to ceiling pantry for storage, farm-style sink, dishwasher, microwave, and coffee station. Oh, and let’s not forget a ‘Mad Men’ style bar for the all-important cocktail!
Well stocked with cooking pots, pans, baking sheets and glassware, you will have everything on hand to prepare whatever might be on the menu. Room darkening shades can be drawn for complete privacy in both the living area and game/dining area.
Off the living/kitchen is a large dining room with seating for 6, a desk for those who can’t quite shake off work responsibilities, and a huge room.
Enjoy some fun time on the 2 person Arcade Table with 60 old-school games like Pac-Man, Galaga, Donkey Kong and more, or challenge each other to the 9’ Shuffle-board table or oversized Connect4 game. If you don't want to shake your morning workout routine, there's plenty of floor space for yoga and pilates. The French doors in the game room open out to the front drive where we have the Hot Tub, Solo firepit and BBQ for outdoor time

Local Area and Attractions:
The Love Shack is situated in the Split Rock area of Lake Harmony. One block away from the Split Rock Resort and beach bar, you can stroll down to the grassy area and sit on a blanket to see the activities on the lake! Rent a kayak, paddle board or other watercraft from yeti water sports and have your own adventure! The Split Rock neighborhood is quiet, backing up to state game lands. Great area to take long strolls with your loved one or pet.
Some of our favorite local attractions are the JackFrost/BigBoulder ski resorts- each one only 2-5 miles from our door in either direction. H2Ooooo Waterpark and Split Rock Golf Course are just ½ mile away. Unbelievable hikes with waterfalls, boulder fields and more are in any direction you turn. White water rafting, paintball skirmish, and ATV tours are just 10minutes away. Kalahari Water Park is 20 minutes, Camelback summer and winter parks are 25 minutes away
We are fortunate to have convenience stores for those last minute items (including adult beverages) at either end of the lake, and some of the best restaurants and bars in he Poconos just a mile away!
I will send you an activity guide once you book
Looking forward to having you!
