About this property

YOUR PRIVATE POCONO ESCAPE: LAKE, SLOPES, HOT TUB & HOME YOU WON’T WANT TO LEAVE

  • This isn’t just another vacation rental. The property has been featured in magazines and films and has served as a backdrop for professional modeling shoots and celebrity athletes’ bachelor weekends.
    Whether you’re looking for a peaceful weekend surrounded by nature, a fun-filled getaway with friends, or a private retreat, this property gives you an experience you won’t soon forget.
    NO EXTRA FEES
    Just the posted nightly rate. No surprise add-ons.
    Luxury. Privacy. Slopes. Lake. Beach. Spa. Entertainment.

    3500+ sq. ft. • 4 bedrooms • 3 bathrooms • Sleeps up to 13 • Huge private landscaped yard • 2-minute walk to the beach • Hot tub • 9’ tournament billiard table • Steinway piano

    You’ve probably seen plenty of Poconos vacation homes.

    This one is different.

    It feels less like a rental and more like a private retreat that happens to be available for your getaway.

    There is room for everyone to be together — and enough space for everyone to disappear for a while.

    Walk 2 minutes to the sandy beach and fishing dock. Spend the afternoon swimming, fishing or playing volleyball. Come back to your own huge landscaped yard, relax in the hot tub, fire up the BBQ, gather around the fire pit or challenge your friends to a game of pool.

    Inside, the house opens up into a dramatic 22-foot cathedral-ceiling living space filled with natural light, with floor-to-ceiling windows, a fully equipped kitchen, wet bar and an incredible collection of entertainment.

    And you don’t have to go anywhere at night.

    The vacation is already happening at home.


    ✨ WHY THIS HOUSE FEELS DIFFERENT

    🌊 BEACH IN 2 MINUTES — WITHOUT GETTING IN THE CAR

    The sandy beach and fishing dock are approximately a 2-minute walk from the house.

    Guests receive complimentary beach passes for up to 10 people.

    Nearby you’ll also find:

    • Volleyball
    • Basketball
    • Playground
    • Hiking
    • Fishing
    • Three nearby lakes

    Spend the morning at the lake, come home for lunch and an afternoon in the yard, then head back to the beach for sunset.

    That’s a vacation.


    🌿 THE YARD IS A DESTINATION OF ITS OWN

    One of the things that makes this property so special is the huge, beautifully landscaped private yard.

    You don’t feel like you’re squeezed between neighboring vacation rentals.

    There is room to spread out.

    Room for kids to play.

    Room for adults to relax.

    Room for everyone to gather.

    And plenty of little places to find your own quiet moment.

    Outside you’ll find:

    ♨️ Custom hot tub

    🔥 Fire pit + firewood provided

    🌳 Huge landscaped backyard

    🌙 Hammock

    🍹 Garden furniture

    🥏 Cornhole

    🍔 BBQ

    And then there’s the huge wraparound deck with six separate seating areas.

    Morning coffee.

    Afternoon cocktails.

    Family dinner.

    A book in the sun.

    Late-night conversations.

    Everyone can find their favorite spot.


    🎱 THE HOUSE HAS ITS OWN ENTERTAINMENT UNIVERSE

    This isn’t the kind of vacation rental where everyone eventually ends up sitting around one television.

    You have options.

    Inside:

    🎱 9-foot PRO tournament billiard table

    🎹 Steinway & Sons piano

    ⚽ Foosball

    🎯 Darts

    🎤 Karaoke

    📺 70” Smart TV + surround sound

    🔥 Propane fireplace

    🛋️ Zero-gravity heated & massage leather recliner sofas

    📶 1 GB / 1000 Mbps high-speed Wi-Fi

    🍸 Fully stocked wet bar

    🍳 Fully equipped kitchen

    And more than 3,500 square feet of living space to enjoy it all.


    ☀️ A HOUSE FILLED WITH LIGHT

    The open loft-style design, 22-foot cathedral ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows give the main living area an extraordinary sense of space.

    Even with a large group, the house doesn’t feel crowded.

    Everyone can gather in the great room — or spread out throughout the house.

    There is central A/C, plenty of seating and everything you need for a comfortable stay in every season.


    🛏️ SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS

    The house has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and can accommodate up to 13 registered guests.

    The layout works beautifully for families, multiple couples, groups of friends and celebrations where everyone wants to stay together rather than rent several smaller homes.


    ❄️ WINTER: SKI. HOT TUB. FIREPLACE. REPEAT.

    Winter is one of our favorite seasons here.

    Jack Frost Big Boulder Ski Resort and tubing are only a few miles away — less than 10 minutes by car.

    Spend the day skiing, snowboarding or tubing.

    Then come home.

    Hot tub.

    Fireplace.

    Pool.

    Foosball.

    Karaoke.

    Dinner and drinks.

    No need to go anywhere else.


    🌸 SPRING • ☀️ SUMMER • 🍂 FALL

    When the weather warms up, the entire neighborhood becomes your playground.

    Swim.

    Fish.

    Hike.

    Bike.

    Play volleyball.

    Shoot hoops.

    Have a picnic.

    Play lawn games.

    Relax on the beach.

    Or stay home all day and enjoy the yard.

    Lake Harmony restaurants, nightlife and watersports are only a short drive away.


    👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 MADE FOR FAMILIES

    This is a house where different generations can actually enjoy a vacation together.

    Kids can play.

    Parents can relax.

    Grandparents can enjoy the garden and deck.

    Everyone can eat together.

    Then the group can split up — some playing pool, some watching a movie, some in the hot tub, some around the fire pit.

    There is a nearby playground, beach, hiking and plenty of outdoor space.

    Our only warning: the kids may not want to go home.


    🥂 PERFECT FOR FRIENDS & CELEBRATIONS

    Planning a birthday?

    Girls’ weekend?

    Bachelor or bachelorette getaway?

    Reunion?

    Long weekend with friends?

    This house gives your group something many vacation homes don’t:

    You can actually spend the entire weekend here without getting bored.

    Cook together.

    BBQ.

    Play pool.

    Listen to music.

    Play piano.

    Use the hot tub.

    Have a fire.

    Play lawn games.

    Walk to the lake.

    Or simply sit on the deck and talk until midnight.


    🧘 PRIVATE YOGA & WELLNESS

    Want to make your stay even more memorable?

    Private yoga, meditation and breathwork sessions can be arranged in advance with our certified yoga instructor.

    Depending on the weather and group size, sessions can take place:

    • in the garden • or lakeside


    🐾 YES, WE WELCOME DOGS — We welcome fully grown, crate-trained dogs age 3+.


    🚗 LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

    You get the best of both worlds.

    You’re close to the action of Lake Harmony — but the house itself is located in a more private, residential setting with its own beautiful lake nearby.

    Approximately:

    🏖️ Beach — 2-minute walk

    🎣 Fishing dock — 2-minute walk

    🏐 Volleyball — 3-minute walk

    🏀 Basketball — 3-minute walk

    🛝 Playground — 4-minute walk

    🛒 Supermarket — under 10 minutes

    💊 CVS — under 10 minutes

    🌲 Francis Walter Dam — under 10 minutes

    🍽️ Lake Harmony restaurants & nightlife — under 15 minutes



    🏆 11+ YEARS OF HOSTING — AND 200+ REVIEWS LATER…

    Our home has hosted families, couples, groups of friends, artists, photographers, musicians, actors, writers, bachelor and bachelorette groups and even a few celebrities.

    It has also been featured in magazines, films and commercial/modeling shoots.

    And many of our guests return year after year.

    That means more to us than any badge.


    💙 COME FOR THE LAKE. STAY FOR THE HOUSE.

    There are hundreds of vacation homes in the Poconos.

    Some have a hot tub.

    Some have a pool table.

    Some are near a lake.

    Some have a big yard.

    This house brings all of those things together — and adds something you can’t put on an amenity list.

    It feels like a home.

    A place where people actually want to spend time together.

    Where mornings become long breakfasts.

    Afternoons become lake days.

    Rainy evenings become pool tournaments.

    Summer nights become fireside conversations.

    And winter weekends become skiing, hot tubs and fireplaces.

    Come for the lake.

    Stay for the house.

    Leave already planning your next visit.

Fun for All

Fantastic family event with a good time had by all. We enjoyed the lovely, spacious home with all of the amenities. The outside grounds were very well manicured - the hot tub and fire pit were a plus. Kids really enjoyed the beach area. Easy to navigate the water with the beach devices provided. Would absolutely recommend for a relaxing get-away. Masha is an excellent hostess who is very attentive to your requests.

Weekend Birthday Getaway!

Let me just say, if you are on the fence about renting this property, stop thinking and just book it! My girlfriend and I and a group of 8 other people stayed here for a birthday weekend getaway and it was everything and more we wanted! Masha the host was the most accommodating host I have dealt with and everything was perfect! From the pool table, to the hot tub, to the fire pit, everything was so cozy and we all had such a good time! The kitchen was stocked with all the appliances we needed and the bedrooms had all the linens needed as well. We went mid December and can not wait to come back in the summer! 5 out of 5 stars!

The perfect place for a weekend away with a group of friends. We golfed at nearby Jack Frost National, and the proximity could not have been better. The property itself is beautiful and stands out among the other houses in the neighborhood. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for our larger group. We will be back!

Pocono's Most Luxurious Hot Tub; Amazing Winter'23 Experience

The homeowner, Masha, did above & beyond for myself and friends to make our stay more than excellent this winter. The amenities provided at her home, emails received with local food places, and things to do, along with the beautiful lake and park around the block were absolutely outstanding. There are simply not enough words to say on how amazing this experience was and how YOU NEED TO JUST BOOK! Trust me. Stop looking, and book. Clean house, linens, provides toiletries, amazing amenities to use, updated appliances, forgot a toothbrush? No worries! She has everything ready for you!! More than you think a hotel would even have. I even brought my own coffee machine because I didn't know what to expect, but didn't need it - she had THREE options for making coffee in the morning!!!! THANK YOU MASHA!! Looking forward to our next stay!

Perfect

This house was exactly what we were looking for. It is located on a quiet street, had an abundant of beds/bed rooms, and more than enough space for almost a dozen people to not feel cramped. The house, especially the bathrooms were clean, and filled with fresh/never opened knick knacks that friends may have forgotten to bring. Our hosts were readily available to answer any questions we had leading up to, or during our stay. One piece of advice to guests. We were always able to get an Uber where we were going, but wait times can be long, prepare for such in advance!! Thank you!

My sister's bachelorette party

I rented this house for my sisters bachelorette weekend. This ended up being the perfect house for a large group of girls. The house is gorgeous and spacious with so much to do. The hosts are quick to respond with any questions and are extremely helpful. They supply you with everything you need at the house. The private lake was amazing and we enjoyed using the paddle boat to cruise around the lake. I highly recommend staying here. My whole group had a blast.

Excellent All Around

The property is exactly as advertised (it lives up to the gorgeous photos!). It is well-maintained, full of amenities and entertainments, and perfectly suited for a reunion of friends, bachelor party, or other get together. The thing that truly sets this property apart, however, is the attentiveness and responsiveness of the host. Masha is wonderful and goes out of her way to make every phase of the rental process run smoothly. Check-in and check-out were easy, with flexible arrival and departure times to meet the group's needs. Masha thoroughly inspected the property before the group's arrival to make sure that everything was ready for the visit, leaving a gift for the guest of honor and offering courtesy firewood for the fire pit. Later, she even found a wallet that one guest had lost outside the property and mailed it back free of charge. I cannot recommend this property enough. 5 stars!

Oneof the BEST houses in Poconos! Property that feels like your private mini resort - 10/10!

This was the second time my group and I booked Masha’s home because we enjoyed it so much the first time. Black Bear House was one of, if not the best VRBO experiences I have ever had. The place is absolutely stunning. The pictures look great, but it doesn't do justice compared to in person! The interior is beautiful with high ceilings and our group really appreciated the large open area for everyone to hang out. The layout is perfect and we loved the room set up and appreciated the linens and amenities provided! Oversized wrap around deck with many seating areas. Outdoor area is simply amazing: HUGE lawn that we utilized as our cricket field and our croquet field and our soccer field etc. Almost forgot the best part - we were allowed to put a TENT for our teens to sleep at. The fire pit is a great spot to sit and relax at night or really any time! The instructions were simple yet detailed. Every question we had along the way Masha was quick to respond and was always a pleasure to speak with. The location is also close to several hiking spots that we enjoyed! We couldn't have asked for a better location, we had privacy but was also convenient if we needed to go to the store. Overall a great experience. 10/10! Would definitely book again!
