We had a great stay!
We had a lovely stay; people loved the little arcade in the basement as well as the sauna. There's a great swing set at the edge of the property that looks out into a marsh and it's so beautiful to just sit there and enjoy nature.

Great family friendly destination!
Rita was super communicative from the beginning, responsive to all my questions prior and when we arrive, which was greatly appreciated! The home itself was perfect for our family and the lower level game room entertained my kids all weekend! The outdoor set up was perfect for our grilling and smore-making needs. Loved having the extra lights so we could see what we were doing post fire too! The girls loved exploring the property and with all other activities close by, it was an easy and fun filled weekend. Would rent again!

Great place for families
This owner is very responsive. Like within minutes Rita would answer my questions. Great house and lots of games… mortal kombat was not working sadly. Kids had a great time. The ski hill wasn’t opened yet but we still had a good time. Not much going on in this area if it isn’t skiing or lake season but that wasn’t a surprise. Clean house and welcome treats were provided. Highly recommend for the Poconos.

Very fun getaway!
The owners were extremely responsive to our questions. The house is set up nicely for families with kids; the included sports equipment (fishing rods!) were very convenient! We appreciated that the bed linens are included and we didn't have to pack any sheets. The game room was a big hit with our grandkids. The only disappointment was that the 2nd bathroom is in the basement, not on the 2nd floor near the bedrooms. Not a huge deal though, we made it work. We really enjoyed the fire pit - great for smores' night!

Lake Fun!
Property had lots of fun activities, arcade games for the kids and having bikes and kayaks made it very nice. Firepit was great and had plenty of wood cut to use. Beds were comfortable. Wish it were closer to the lake. Neighborhood was safe for walking. Thought the cleaning fee on top of the POA fee was rather high as we thought house was stuffy upon arrival and outside tables and chairs had to be swept off before using. Working with home owner was easy and she was very helpful.

Excellent!
We had 2 families (4 adults and 4 kids) and it was just perfect. The games room was a highlight for sure and the other one was the fire pit, which was gorgeous. Perhaps the best part of our stay was communication with the host. I must have asked 20 questions and all were answered straight away. The quickness of the responses made our stay very enjoyable. Thank you!

Great rural getaway
We had a very nice stay of 5 nights at this property. We have 3 kids (8, 6, 2) who had a great time with the games on the lowest floor of the cabin. The pool and lake areas were within biking distance and the host was nice enough to leave the passes to use these areas. Another favorite aspect of this property was the fire pit area. It is a gated community, which adds a different element to the stay. There is a community feel, but also many regulations to be aware of during the stay. The host was great and very communicative. Off the hideout property is a nearby grocery store and farm stands. Otherwise it is generally rural so we ended up largely enjoying the house and hideout property. Other attractions in the Poconos are up to an hour or more away for a day trip outside of the gates.

Great weekend away. House had a mountain/cabin feel with excellent outdoor scenery, fire pit area, and wildlife. Game room was perfect for the kids. Good lake fishing a couple lots away, and decent restaurants nearby. Home owners communicated effectively and were responsive upon request. We had an enjoyable stay.

My group of 7 had so much fun in and around this home! We enjoyed the spacious, private outdoors, playing games, having fires and relaxing. I thought there would be a lot of bugs, but we were fine! The basement game room is just fantastic for all ages! We also used the kayak and paddle board at the lake next door, which was beautiful. The hideout amenities were an added bonus, too. Rita is a great host and we will definitely be back! Thanks, Rita!

Please let me know if you have any questions about the property.

Why they chose this property

We absolutely fell in love with this house as soon as we saw it, and we hope you will too. The house is next to green belt property, which helps it feel super secluded. Our favorite spot is the lower deck outside of the basement slider door. We enjoy sitting out there with our morning coffee, or tea, watching the wildlife. There is a good chance you will spot turkeys, deer, raccoons, and more...while visiting.

What makes this property unique

Our basement has been renovated and features a ping pong table, foosball, Football Quarterback Attack, Cable TV, board games and even a sauna!
