The Lure, a waterfront cabin in Lake Harmony, at sunset among fall trees

BFM Properties

Private homes in the Poconos.

Book direct with James and Jillian, and keep more of your getaway.

Why book direct

The same homes, without the platform fees.

Booking at bfmpoconos.com means you reserve with us, not through Airbnb or VRBO.

Save on the stay

Direct booking should cost less than the same dates on Airbnb or VRBO, because you skip their guest service fees. A specific savings figure will be published once a live comparison is approved.

Talk to the owners

James and Jillian host these homes themselves. When you book here, you are dealing with us.

Live pricing & checkout

Each house page will include a Hostfully booking widget with current rates and secure checkout. The widget is shown as a labeled placeholder in this mockup.

The Area

Four seasons, two landscapes.

Lake Harmony and the ski mountains, Jim Thorpe’s historic streets, and a private home in Drums close to golf and Eagle Rock.
