Fully stocked with sheets, towels, soft blankets and ready for your getaway! The “Nest” features 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths and spans over 1,700 square feet. A full kitchen, 2 wood burning fireplaces, hot tub and outdoor oasis are just some of the amenities you will enjoy.
The space
CONTEMPORARY CABIN LIVING
Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the living and dining areas with natural sunlight. Soaring vaulted ceilings add to the light and airy feeling. A stone electric fireplace adds warmth and coziness. Part rustic mountain cabin and part stylish modern getaway. Curl up here in the evenings with a glass of wine next to the warmth from the fireplaces. This is the mountains, so you'll be tempted to use the fireplace year-round.
The fully-equipped kitchen has everything you need for preparing meals for a large group. There is ample room at the dining room table with seating for 8. Pour yourself a glass of wine from one of the Poconos' local vineyards (we love Mountain View Winery) as you whip up something delicious! There’s a gas BBQ just outside on the spacious deck where you can grill year-round. If cooking isn’t your thing there are several dining options less than 1.5 miles away. Check out our guide book for recommendations (provided after bookings) -
Down a short hallway, two well-designed bedrooms offer plenty of peace and privacy. The first bedroom has a king-size bed while the second bedroom is appointed with 2 twins. A full bathroom rounds out the accommodations on the top floor.
Heading downstairs you will find 2 more bedrooms and an additional full bathroom. The first bedroom contains two separate twin-over-full bunk beds which kids will love. The remaining bedroom has a queen size bed.
The last room in the house is a fun filled family room on the lower level. Here you have a pool table, flat screen tv, books, board games and movies at your disposal.
With two young children of our own we understand the “joy” of travelling with youngsters. To that end we offer a pack-n-play, high chair and children’s books and games. We even supply bubble bath for when the little ones need to get cleaned up after a long day at the beach or hiking.
CLASSIC MOUNTAIN LAKE MAGIC
The backyard fire pit and porch swing create the perfect setting for roasting gooey s’ mores under the string lights and stars. When the sun is out round up four people to play a competitive game of Corn Hole or Kan Jam.
When your crew is ready to go exploring, the sandy shores of Lake Harmony are steps away from your front door. Your whole family will love swimming, fishing, and soaking up the sunshine.
Guest access
You'll have access to the entire home along with the wooded yard and fire pit. Activity seekers will have Lake harmony, two ski mountains and lots of hiking trails at your disposal . There's a lot to explore right outside your front door!

Overall my stay was good. The only issue I had was the hot tub water was green . The owner was contacted and he handled the issue immediately. Unfortunately the water didn’t heat up until the morning we left, and the hot tub was the main reason I rented the house.
Overall was a nice stay. Hot tub was wonderful. Neighborhood was a little more congested than expected but there were very few individuals there, so it was nice.
House was as advertised. All enjoyed nature walks, visits to the lake, and making S’mores by the fire pit.
Good use of space and the kitchen had everything we needed. The hosts were very communicative and checked in a few times.
This was the second of 2 homes we rented for a friends and family weekend near Lake Harmony. The home had lots of rustic charm, and was well appointed. A hot tub and fire pit provided lots of outdoor enjoyment. The hosts were some of the most attentive we have ever encountered, and a pleasure to work with
We had a great time and relaxing stay. The owner was very easy to communicate with and answered promptly when needed! She made sure we had everything we needed! The house was spacious and beds were very comfortable
Amazing view from the hot tub! We had some snow and the owners were on it- had everything shoveled and plowed while we enjoyed our getaway. We qere ablw to cook wverything we brought in a clean kitchen and enjoy the downtime. Pretty area with very close restaurants and things to do for all different people. Would stay again
The house was clean, easy check in process. Property owners were east access in case anything went wrong. I would definitely recommend renting this property.
Owl's Nest is set on a lovely wooded lot, in sight of other houses but with beautiful views of private wooded areas. The house comes equipped with everything you'd need for a great stay. Beds and couches were comfortable. The kitchen is well-equipped and the place has games, a pool table, TVs, etc. We had two significant issues during our visit. The first relates to the temperature of the house, which we were told is at 55 degrees when not in use (in theory, we're all for this for energy conservation purposes). But it was colder than that when we arrived. Guests are supposed to use two built-in wall units to heat the house and aren't supposed to use the in-room radiators. This was really impractical. WITH the radiators and two space heaters, it took about 24 hours for the house to get up to a comfortable temperature (temps outside were between 20-35 degrees at first). One in-room bedroom radiator wasn't working, so that bedroom was out of commission for us. The second issue was with the upstairs fireplace. After checking to see that the damper was open and creating a good draft through the flue, our fire lit well but spewed an unusual amount of smoke into the house - so much so that we had to extinguish it. My guess is the chimney hadn't been cleaned properly. Raj was extremely responsive and helpful throughout. He seemed genuinely surprised about the heat and fire issues and tried asking around to see if anything could be done. Upon seeing that the temps were to drop to below zero on our third night, he had an extra space heater shipped to us. And upon being unable to sort out the fireplace issues, he volunteered to refund us for one out of our four nights. This was greatly appreciated, and he seems committed to making his guests' experiences positive. Five-star service, support, and communication. I will note a couple of other small issue that arose. One is the hot tub, which was inviting and warm but not quite 'hot' (though I will mention the weather was very cold outside). The other was that though there is a travel crib available, sheets for it were not. Not something I care about a lot, but others might. Given Raj's sincere efforts to help and improve this experience, I expect future guests enjoy staying here even more than we did. But given how many options there are in the Poconos and how expensive they all are, we'd probably choose somewhere else next time.
The house was as advertised, very clean and had a lot of extra amenities. The hosts were very thoughtful and responsive. I would absolutely recommend this place to friends as well as stay there again.
We rented the Owls Nest for our group of 6 friends- in Lake Harmony for a birthday weekend with a few other houses. The house was perfect and just as described. The location was great, close to everything we could have needed. The hosts, Liz and Raj, were very communicative, and I don’t doubt that had we had any issues (we didn’t) they would have been quick to help. We will definitely keep this property on our list should we be back in the area!
Owl's Nest was such a wonderful property offering everything we were looking for beautiful hot tub, pool table and plenty of comfortable space to relax. Love that there was no TV in the living room. Outdoor space was so private and so peaceful. Very clean and has all the essentials in the kitchen that you need. Would definitely stay again.
