About this property

Elmwood · Elmwood Escape ★ A Cozy Retreat at The Hideout ★

Welcome to Elmwood Escape, a 2-bedroom, 1.5 bath home set in the gold star, amenity-filled private community of The Hideout in Lake Ariel.

Our chalet is tucked under snowy trees on a property with a fire pit and a grill on the back deck. Relax inside with the fireplace ablaze while playing pool, or head outdoors to soak up nature with our community ski slope - perfect for your winter getaway!

We are 2-2.5 hours from Philly + NYC. Stay with us for a snowy weekend of Skiing, tubing + more!

Elmwood Escape is full of charm and comes fully equipped for a group getaway in the Poconos. We are the perfect location for a ski weekend with family and friends.

No detail was forgotten - we designed the house hoping to amaze guests with unique, vintage, mountain decor, and fully-stocked kitchen and living areas. Guests will enter the home through the screened-in porch with plenty of seating, then into the kitchen and expansive living space with a smart TV, Alexa Echo Dot, and room for everyone to hang out. The kitchen has retro flair and modern equipment.

There is a dinette set to keep the chef company or enjoy a morning coffee. For even more space, the loft awaits for playing a board game or round of pool.

The beauty continues outside where a deck with a patio set for al fresco dining, and an electric grill are found. A few steps away is a wonderful fire pit area complete with lighting, allowing guests to relax under a starry sky and roast marshmallows.

Just cause it says it sleeps 6 doesn’t mean it should.
The pictures look great. The reality is a very small, musty cabin with uncomfortable furniture that is too big for the space. Upon arriving I was met with a large dead raccoon, a bag of dog poop at the door and a very moldy grill on a wet moldy deck that I wouldn’t even let my dog sit on. I let the “superhost” know as soon as we arrived about the issues and they quickly responded. They offered me a credit and sent a cleaner over. I still have not received the credit despite reaching out twice and there was no way I would have put food on that grill even after cleaning. Overall communication with the host was unclear, confusing and contradictory. I will add that the host’s name changed throughout our chat so I had no idea with who I was even communicating. This is clearly an investment property where corners were cut and no one has any sort of personal interest in. The community was awesome and I would definitely go back but I’d choose a different house.

Anniversary Getaway
My husband and I spent the weekend at the Elwood Escape for our wedding anniversary. We really enjoyed the set up of the home and we spent a lot of time in the back yard by the fire pit. We took advantage of the hikes and were able to bring our small dog with us. We also loved that one of the restaurants/bar was across the street from the home and were able to walk to the location. Over all we enjoyed this nice quiet escape from the city.

Relaxing and Authentic Feel
From the amazing decor to the amenities, the house was perfect for our family. Even with a bit of rain, we still enjoyed a nice game of poker in the upstairs area, and the beautiful view of the trees outside from most places in the house. Jennifer was very responsive and my questions were answered promptly! We will definitely be going back!
