Schoonover Mountain House, also known as Schoonover Farm, is a historic home located in Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area at Middle Smithfield Township, Monroe County, Pennsylvania. The original section was built about 1850-1860, and enlarged at least three times by 1900. It is a large, rambling two-story "L"-shaped frame banked dwelling. It is five bays wide, has a slate covered gable roof, and features a one-story wraparound porch. It was owned by the locally prominent Schoonover family, and was operated during the late-19th and early-20th centuries as a vacation and boarding house.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
