Great Lake Escape sleeps 26 and was purpose-built for multi-generational families and life event groups gathering on the water in Lake Harmony. This 8-bedroom, 5-bath home sits directly on the lakefront in the South Lake area, on the main drag where you can walk to the most popular restaurants and the hub of the lake's social life. Three stories, a private boat dock, a sun deck over the water, sandy shoreline, and a layout that puts the lake in front of you from almost every room.

The Heart of the Home

The open-concept main level brings the great room, dining, and chef's kitchen together with wood-paneled cathedral ceilings and walls of glass that frame Lake Harmony. A long theater-style sofa anchors the seating area for the late-afternoon lake-watching crowd. The dining area handles the group meal indoors; in summer, the lakefront deck takes the overflow for dinner with a view. Smart TVs throughout the home run Roku, so the morning news crowd, the cartoon crowd, and the late-night crowd can each settle in on their own terms.

A downstairs game room with a bar pulls the kids and the competitive crowd in: blackjack, poker table, foosball, pool table, and patio doors that open straight to the lakefront playground. Close the door, let the teenagers take over, and the parents upstairs can hear themselves think.

Outdoor Living and the Lake

The great room deck is built for grilling, gathering, and watching the kids on the lawn below. A Weber gas grill handles the cook-up; the patio adds a private hot tub and a second fire pit with seating. A third fire pit sits at the lake's edge for late-night s'mores, stories, and stargazing over the water. Cornhole and a picnic table round out the lawn. Down at the water, a private boat dock and a sun deck give the group its own piece of Lake Harmony, with a sandy shoreline and a sandbox for the little ones. Kayaks, canoes, and life jackets are included for guest use; boats and jet skis are not.

A Perfect Day Around Lake Harmony

From Great Lake Escape, much of what makes the trip worth taking is within walking distance of the door. Here is how your local hosts would spend the day:

• Get on the water: Lake Harmony Cruises depart from Nick's Lake House next door (0.1 miles), narrated pontoon tours that work for the whole group including grandparents (summer only)
• Thrill-seekers: Lake Harmony Watersports for wakeboards, water skis, tubes, or a large pontoon for a family lunch on the water, 0.9 miles (summer only)
• Indoor backup plan: H2Oooohh! Indoor Waterpark at Split Rock, 0.6 miles, a wave pool and slides for the rainy-day pivot
• Easy evening for any age group: Split Rock Bowling and Arcade, 0.7 miles, indoor competition for all ages
• Easy nature for all ages: Austin T. Blakeslee Natural Area, 4.1 miles, flat creek-side trails that work for grandparents and morning walks
• Iconic stop: Hickory Run State Park's Boulder Field, 10 miles, an ancient field of boulders for active kids and a unique photo op
• Low-effort, high-reward group ride: Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway in Jim Thorpe, 15 miles, a vintage train through the mountains with zero walking required
• Snow days: Big Boulder Mountain, 1.4 miles, the closest ski resort with a tubing park that works for non-skiers of all ages
• Track day: Pocono Raceway, 5.8 miles, NASCAR races and festivals in season, light shows in winter

For dining, you can leave the car parked. Nick's Lake House (0.1 miles) is a lakefront restaurant with a huge deck, the easiest pick for a large group dinner. Terra Cottage Cafe (0.2 miles) is the breakfast and lunch favorite, grandparent-friendly and highly rated. And because the restaurants are this close, the group can split: some can walk to Shenanigans (0.2 miles) for nightlife while others stay back for a quiet night on the porch.
