The Birch Chalet: Hot Tub, Fire Pits & Lake Access
About this home
This updated five-bedroom, four-bath chalet is in Lake Harmony Estates, a private community in Lake Harmony, Pennsylvania, and sleeps up to 12. It works well for families and groups who want a ski-season or summer base with real comfort: a private hot tub, two fire pits and two decks. Exposed beams, vaulted ceilings and a stone fireplace give it a classic cabin feel without giving up modern finishes.
The open main living space centers on the stone fireplace, with oversized seating and a smart TV with streaming apps, and propane fireplaces on both the main floor and the lower level keep things warm in winter. The kitchen has granite counters, stainless appliances and a large island with barstools, and coffee drinkers get a Keurig plus coffee stations on two floors. Bedrooms sit on three levels: two queen rooms and two full baths (one en suite) downstairs; a king room and a queen room sharing a full bath on the main level, with the primary opening onto the deck; and a private loft bedroom with a door, a queen and two twin beds, and its own en suite bath. A loft workstation is set up for remote work or a quiet read.
Outdoors, soak in the hot tub, gather at the stone-ring fire pit, or settle in by the propane fire pit on the upper deck with views into the woods. The front deck has a propane grill, and you can eat at the indoor table or out on the deck in summer. The gravel driveway holds several cars.
Big Boulder is under five minutes away and Jack Frost is about 10 minutes, so this is an easy Lake Harmony vacation home for skiers. In summer, guests can buy passes to the community's private beach on Lake Harmony, a few minutes from the house and good for swimming, paddleboarding and kayaking. Restaurants, hiking and shopping are close by. Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and a washer and dryer are included. The pet policy is unclear in the listing, so confirm with the host before bringing a pet.
