The LoveShack- MidCenturyModern w hot tub in the Poconos!

The LOVE SHACK! Need we say more?! Enjoy a cozy getaway at this lovingly & painstakingly renovated Mid Century Modern Cottage. Bring that special someone for a special occasion getaway, or your family/friends for time away from it all.
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!

The Perfect Fall Getaway
My partner and I had a great time at The Love Shack. The property was super spacious and had everything we needed. Our pup, Miso, enjoyed watching squirrels out of the large windows in the main room. We really enjoyed the hot tub and the neighborhood was really quiet and felt private. We will definitely be back!

Cute house
The house is cute and overall our stay was ok, but we had some issues out of the gate with no hot water. Host responded to assist when we contacted her during business hours the next morning and we ended up getting hot water when the plumber came out that night. However, the odor from a dead rodent(s) under the sink that she removed when she stopped by never went away. It got worse when we used the water or dishwasher. Not sure if it needed to be cleaned out with bleach or if there were more under that trap but it was a strong foul smell. Sadly, the hot tub jets didn’t work either and after reaching out to her, she thinks it was a pressure issue under the tub so nothing that could be easily remedied for our stay. Amy refunded us for our first night with no hot water and we ended up leaving a night early because the odor in the kitchen area was an issue for us trying to cook and eat there and was making my younger son feel nauseous . I’m sure none of this was intentional by the host but it all put a damper on our trip. We enjoyed the gaming room area and beds were comfy. Amy is a responsive house but only so much could be remedied during our stay. We enjoyed the boat parade and party at Nick’s Lake House - Fun time with great weather for that event. House is in a pretty quiet area. The area in Split Rock and the resort was very quiet with almost no guests or activities. I felt bad having to reach out to her again about the foul odor so we just left a day early.

The Love Shack lives up to its name
Was a great place to do nothing if you want and close enough to other places for some good day trips. Bushkill falls is only 1 hr East and worth the trip! Jim Thorpe 16 miles south. Some really nice restaurants within a mile or so as well. We ate at Louie’s Steakhouse and the food was excellent but pricey. We loved the house decor. Definitely a cool retro place. The master bedroom had a great foam mattress and sleep was great. The house was very clean and comfortable The hostess was very communicative and left us a little gift for our 50th anniversary 😊. The only disappointment was the beach was really not a beach but a lagoon that was closed. I recommend this place!

An Excellent property
We were truly impressed with the overall design and layout of the house. The place had everything we needed and was in beautiful condition. The location was perfect for a relaxing time with friends and family to spend a few days away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The game room and the Jacuzzi added to the experience. I would return in the future.

Week away to relax
My husband and I needed time away to rest and relax in a quiet place. The Love Shack provided the perfect place to get away. The cabin is comfortably outfitted for resting and is the perfect getaway location. We played games, soaked in the hot tub, slept amazingly well in the king-sized bed, and took our coffee on the front porch each morning. We can't wait to come back next year!

We had a wonderful few days at the love shack! We had 3 generations represented on this trip and all had a blast in the game room, there was no shortage of laughs on this vacation. The hot tub was lovely, the house clean and well appointed.Ran into a minor issue and Amy was so gracious and responsive it was handled in no time. Can’t wait to come again during the summer months! For those Who are interested with kids Jack Frost have very good snowboarding lessons.
