Welcome to our Poconos Cabin, the 'North Star'. As the new owners of this renovated and updated, 5 star vacation rental, we are so excited to spend time in this beautiful community and to welcome new guests to our cabin! We named it the North Star because of the feeling we get when we stay here... of tranquility, serenity, and how it helps us find our bearings: like the north star guiding sailors home.

Since we took over, we made some additional upgrades and moved some things around, so although it will be the same cabin you may remember, it is newly updated and improved! Check out the photos, and be among the first to rent!

The cabin is located near the recreation center and golf course in a quiet part the amenity rich Hideout Community and minutes from Lake Wallenpaupack, the quaint towns of Hawley and Honesdale, as well as all that the Poconos has to offer.

There is something to do in every season at the Hideout, one of Pennsylvania's premier 4 season communities. Tennis, pickle ball, 9 hole golf course, basketball, lakes for boating, fishing, swimming, beaches, and two outdoor heated pools. There is skiing, tubing and and ice skating in the winter. There are also indoor tennis and pickle ball courts at the recreation center along with a games room with pool tables and ping pong, and a gym.

Home away from home
The North Star met all of our needs, the home is clean, well kept and well stocked it even had baby plates and utensils! We love that the pets were kept in mind with doggie bags and treats. The amenities are all nearby and Dorleen and Mark were super responsive and friendly. Will be our go-to for summer stays!
