Jacuzzi + sauna + terrasse + foyer + accès plage | Évasion reconnaissante

Welcome to the Grateful Escape!

Tucked into the wooded calm of Lake Harmony, Grateful Escape is a true Poconos hideaway — the kind of place where the pace slows the minute you pull into the driveway. The home leans into its rustic mountain character: warm, well-loved, and built for the kind of weekends where nobody's checking the time. It's not chasing a magazine-spread aesthetic, and that's the point. What it offers instead is space to spread out, a yard that invites you outside, and easy access to nearly everything that makes this stretch of the Poconos worth the drive.

Inside, the layout flows comfortably across multiple living areas, with a dedicated game room for rainy afternoons and friendly tournaments that somehow always run longer than planned. An open loft adds extra hangout space upstairs — not an enclosed bedroom, but a flexible nook for movie nights, reading, or letting the kids claim their own corner.

Out back is where the home really earns its name. A private hot tub and sauna wait at the end of ski days and hiking afternoons, the kind of one-two recovery combo that makes the next morning easier. The deck handles dinner duty with a brand-new grill added just in time for summer, plus room to dine al fresco. Once the sun drops, the fire pit takes over — marshmallows, conversation, and a sky full of stars that city guests always seem genuinely surprised by.

Location-wise, you're set up well. Big Boulder is five minutes away, Split Rock Waterpark just as close, and Jack Frost about twenty. Lakefront restaurants are a three-minute drive, hiking trails open up ten minutes out, and the lake and beach themselves are a short walk from the door (seasonal access, with ten complimentary passes included). It's an ungated, wooded community with generous lot sizes, so privacy comes standard.

Come for the slopes, the lake, the golf, or the quiet — Grateful Escape works for all of it.
