Place was very welcoming and updated. Comfortable and cozy with good snowy woods. We enjoyed it.Our only issues were experienced upon arrival. Our door code to enter had not been changed to the code we were given. It didn't take long to contact avanstay and they gave us the correct code. It wasn't pleasant having to wait a couple hours for the place to reach a comfortable temp but after that there were no issues

The location was beautiful, offering a peaceful setting that made it easy to relax and enjoy our time away. Check-in and check-out were both seamless, which we really appreciated after traveling.

We really enjoyed our time in Lake Harmony. The location is perfectly situated between both ski resorts and close to the lake. We got a lot of snow while we were in town, but loved the warmth and cozy home! We enjoyed the fireplace and modern cabin feel of the house. We look forward to visiting again soon!

My family and I enjoyed our stay in this cute cabin in the woods by lake Harmony. The cabin was recently updated and the beds and bedding were very comfy.
Loved the location. Quiet, friendly neighborhood. Wildlife plentiful and peaceful rest after a day of exploring. Highly recommend.

Great cabin close to restaurants- walkable to the lake- check in was delayed an hour due to the cleaning team being delayed. We arrived at the property at the time of check in to find people inside. We called management and waited to find out what was happening . We had to wait to enter the property leaving us just driving around. The management did reach out to apologize but no recourse offered for the delay.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the cabin’s location and proximity to the lake and local restaurants. We sincerely apologize for the delay at check-in and the inconvenience it caused—we understand how frustrating that must have been, especially after a long trip. While we did reach out with our apologies, we truly regret that we fell short in making things right in the moment. Your comments are valuable, and we’re using them to ensure better coordination moving forward. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again for a smoother and more enjoyable stay.
The cabin was a really nice and peaceful place to stay for our trip. The deck was a great place to relax or enjoy an early breakfast outside. We will absolutely stay here again. One note is the king bed listed is actually 2 separate mattresses that tended to leave a gap in the middle.

We came to Lake Harmony to have a low key relaxing vacation with our family and The Biddle House was the perfect house to stay for us! With a lofty upstairs for my Mother-in-law and two roomy bedrooms downstairs for my husband and I and my daughter! Everything was clean, up to date and in a serene setting!

Great cabin. Great location. We loved everything about it. Only downside is you cannot get weekly passes to Boulder Lake Club.
Would definitely stay here again.
Cute house, kitchen equipped, living room furniture to big for comfort, a full length mirror would have been helpful somewhere. Check in/check out very easy, response from team very good.

Thank you for your feedback, Kathy. We're glad you enjoyed the house and found the kitchen well-equipped. We appreciate your comments about the living room furniture and the suggestion for a full-length mirror, as these are helpful insights for us to consider. It's great to hear the check-in/out process and our team's support met your expectations. We hope to welcome you back in the future.
Our stay was great! Check in was easy and everything was clean. The only challenge was that the king bed is actually 2 beds pushed together and we felt it while sleeping. Even with that, the beds were comfy. Some type of mattress cover could probably rectify it. Wed absolutely choose this home again!

Thanks for sharing, Tracy! It sounds like you had a wonderful girls' getaway filled with crafts, good food, and some quality time by the fire. Feeding the deer must have been a great experience! We hope you come back again soon!
Overall we enjoyed the house. It was comfortable and relaxing. We had trouble with the appliances though and the sign on the wall did not have accurate information available. Had to call the property manager to take of it which they did a few hours later..

I’m glad our property manager was able to assist you, but we’ll work on ensuring all information is accurate for future guests. We appreciate your input and hope to welcome you back for an even better stay!
We had a wonderful time staying at this property. The house was clean and updated and just what we needed for our week long vacation. If you are looking for a cozy home this is a great option. We hiked in the area- Shades of Death (not as horrible as it sounds), Bear Creek Trail, and Austin Blakeslee Natural Area. We took a train ride in Jim Thorpe, checked out the Francis E. Walter Dam, and shopped the Tannersville Outlets on a rainy day. This was a great home base. Lots of deer that come right through the yard and a great back deck to spend your time outside.
Just a few things to note: There are two bathrooms but only one shower. The kitchen is small with a table that opens to fit four people. Plenty of outside seating though. Beds are comfortable. Host Company is very responsive.

This property looked just like the pictures. It was adorable, clean and very well kept. The beds were extremely comfortable. The master bedroom was downstairs but we stayed upstairs, the master bed is two mattresses put together and we didnt want that. The air conditioning/ heater is a split system so the heat was on downstairs and we couldn't figure out the air upstairs. Had we known that it would have helped. The description said washer/ dryer included. We could not find it and no one would give us a definitive answer when we emailed. The fireplace was filled with ash so we couldn't have a fire unless we took the time to clean it. However, the views and deck were absolutely beautiful. Place was spotless and very clean otherwise. Couch was comfortable. We couldn't get the wifi to work but someone did eventually come and help. We also could not figure out how to use the dishwasher. An instruction booklet or FYI for the house would have made the stay more enjoyable. We would absolutely go back, especially because we now know everything. The rest Nicks Lakehouse was cute. Great deck and outside bar. Food wasn't great but the ambiance was amazing.
