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

Great House, Great Stay

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!

Great quiet place

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.

Lovely Stay!

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!

Cozy cabin

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!

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.

Biddle House Vacation

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.
