Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Lake Ariel

We stayed at Oak View during the first week of June 2025 and had a truly wonderful experience. The home is beautifully designed and thoughtfully appointed, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The host was attentive and responsive without being intrusive. We spent most days relaxing on the deck, enjoying the peaceful surroundings—and even sneaking in a few naps. It was the perfect escape for a restful weekend. We’ll definitely be back!

My girlfriend and I stayed in Jonathan’s home for our Valentine’s Day weekend. The house was beautiful and the views were amazing. Jonathan checked in on us to see if we had everything we needed and recommend local restaurants and places to visit he even gave us the time we should wake up to enjoy the sunrise which we did. All in all the trip was a 10/10 and we can’t wait to return!

Suzanne’s place is a beautiful house in a serene setting. We loved everything about the house - the well appointed furnishings, comfy beds, spacious kitchen stocked with everything we needed throughout our stay. The bathrooms were perfectly clean. The fully finished basement with a pool table and darts was a great bonus. The outdoor area was truly the crown jewel. We spent our days by the lake fishing and enjoying the surrounding nature. We hope to be able to come again.

We loved our time here! It was the perfect place to reconnect with friends and take a dip in the water. We would absolutely stay again and appreciate Deborah’s quick communication during our stay!

I am in two minds about what to write in this review. On one hand, this property is truly mind blowing. It has been designed beautifully indoors and there is so much attention to detail. And then, the view…I’ve traveled a lot and the view blew my mind. On the other hand, I’m not sure I want too many other people to know about this gem..because I want to come back. And I am hoping this review doesn’t make that more difficult.

SPECTACULAR! Tom & Carol are the nicest people you’ll ever meet and genuinely enjoy sharing their Piece of Heaven with guests. Anything you need, 24/7, just ask. Tom’s art & sculpture, inside & out, will blow you away! If you’ve stayed at their former AirB&B, the Art Cabin in the Woods, you’ll remember the little touches that made it magical, surprises at every turn - imagine that x5, that’s what you find here. GORGEOUS indoor space that’s colorful, whimsical and yet upscale & refined, from the radiant heated floors to the fully stocked gourmet kitchen..the cozy living room with the biggest TV I’ve ever seen to the bedroom’s atmospheric wall-mounted fireplace.. the PERFECT mattress & the deepest soaking tub these old bones have ever had the pleasure to melt in! True luxury Outside - hot tub, grill, fire pit, wood-burning sauna…3 decks, seating everywhere, and the views…all speak for themselves. 2 nights wasn’t enough, strongly suggest minimum 3, I’m already planning!!

Such a perfect getaway spot. The house was super clean and felt like home. We took advantage of the fire pit and the grill, the hot tub was a great addition! Definitely will be coming back!

Amazing places, perfect for a day trip, karina worked well with me and made sure I was properly accommodated before arrival, hot tub was fantastic and the entire experience was a joy!

Would recommend Patricia’s highly. Very comfortable, beautiful location with mountain views and walking distance to everything in town.

This was my second stay at Rob’s place, and once again it was a great experience. The house, tucked away in the Green Ridge area of Scranton, is quiet, charming, and full of character. It has that cozy, old-home feel that’s both welcoming and comfortable. Rob is a very attentive host—quick to respond and clearly thoughtful about making sure everything goes smoothly. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in town.

John's place is very peaceful. Very much what you would expect from a farm in the country side. Right down to the 3 very friendly barn cats that greet you when you arrive. He offers a nice, bright, comfortable home. The bed is super comfy! We highly recommend John's home and we look forward to returning again. Thank you for your gracious hospitality!

A nice spot just outside of Jim Thorpe and the perfect spot to set up a trip to go to Jim Thorpe

They were not kidding when they named this bambis haven because we were able to get up close and personal with deers all over and even got to get friendly with the homes kitties.

Hello, we absolutely enjoyed our stay! We were traveling with our dog decided to try and find a reasonable area in Scranton. We loved the security aspects! the check in was seamless and easy. The locks automatically locked a few seconds after the door shutting. Silvia did a wonderful job decorating and made the studio look very lovely. Loved our stay and thank you again!

One of the best AirBnbs I’ve stayed at. Peaceful, cozy. Felt like a little “nest” up on the top floor of the building. Everything you need to have a home away from home. Esther was incredibly responsive and gracious. 10/10 recommend!

What a great little studio for a Birthday get away trip to Bethel Woods concerts, etc. Relaxing on the deck overlooking the lake for coffee in the morning or a nightcap after your days activities. 2 restaurants within a 100 yards, the Tap n Table was excellent with really Friendly staff. Must have breakfast at least once at Bethel Market Cafe, the Best! All this less than 15 minutes in any direction. I would like to come back in the Summer to take advantage of the Lake activities. Wonderful stay!

Words do not describe the location. Take a few days, relax, eat at the Landing Steakhouse. Water wheel or Milford Diner for breakfast. Stop by Fox N Hare Brewery/ Pub. Then after all that sit on the deck watch the local wildlife sip your beverage of choice and take in the serenity of the stream and waterfall.

It was great to be "off line" for awhile far from the rat race ! An evening fire pit did the trick too . Nearby promised land state park and lakes are awesome and so is promised land inn restaurant ! Bring s'mores ingredients ! Thank you Olena for all the little extras .

Such a charming place - my partner and I had an amazing, peaceful retreat. Felt like the entire place had a lot of thoughtful touches, such as the deck lights on the outside

The place was great! Nicely secluded and peaceful to spend a weekend at. William was a great host and quickly cleared some trees in the driveway that fell during some windy weather.

House sits right on the lake, beautiful property very private but close to town. The open floor plan is so comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked with everything you could need. The house was well organized and very clean. Communication with Anna was easy and very responsive. The hot tub was such a nice treat at the end of the day. Would highly recommend this home.

Beautiful hidden property tucked down off of road. The place has everything you need and is so quiet n peaceful. The hot tub was great to relax in and was nice to see deer morning n evening grazing.

We had a great trip to Lake Harmony! The cabin was very cute and had everything we needed to have a relaxing and comfortable stay. The biggest plus of this location was having the pond right outside. I got to test out my new paddle board and the hosts had a canoe for us to use which was great. I recommend doing a little canoe ride at sunset! We did this both nights and was super relaxing and fun. We also got to enjoy a nice fire outside each night. There were also a handful of great restaurants within a 3-5 minute drive which was super convenient. Our only "con" (this was my mistake for not reading the description closely) was that we did not realize that the bedroom was a loft. The stairs up are pretty narrow and steep which was not an issue for us but just something to be aware of if you have mobility issues. This also makes for shorter ceilings so even though I am 5'2", I was only able to stand up straight at the taller points. Again, overall recommend this place!

Beautiful scenery and a lovely house, we had a great vacation and enjoyed both staying in house when it was rainy and easily reach hiking and rafting places when the sun came out; Maxwell was very friendly and responsive, we warmly recommend this place
