About this property
Lake Ariel Family Chalet
Welcome to our family Pocono home. We've been coming up to The Hideout for 5 years with our parents, siblings, and our children, and we want you to enjoy all that The Hideout and our house have to offer.
In the spring and autumn months you'll spend your waking hours out on the deck- regardless of how big your group is, there will be a seat for them. At night, enjoy some drinks around the propane fire pit, and on those crisper evenings, you can fire up the restaurant-grade outdoor propane heater. Summer is our favorite time to be at the Hideout because we can walk down the hill (about 10 minutes) and the kids can splash in the community pool and lake while we enjoy some beers on the beach. Winter months offer skiing and tubing on the hill just around the corner, and ice skating. Warm up by the fireplace when you're finished!
With 2 big living rooms, 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, you'll all have your own space!

About the host
Hosted by Donovan Hayes
The hosts are a family of siblings (and one in-law) that purchased the house after years of coming up to their parents' house and falling in love with the Hideout. We want to give you the opportunity to bring your family and friends up and enjoy it yourselves!
We come up from Philadelphia as often as we can, as we work jobs that provide us with flexibility during the summer months (teachers!), but in the in-between times we want to make sure that this house gets used.

What makes this property unique
If you're coming from the city, with a tiny plot of grass for a yard, the deck really is the main selling point of this house- you can have multiple families enjoying the time getting a change of scenery.
The amenities are what set the hideout apart- you can feel safe while your kids swim at the lifeguarded beach and pool, and there's a takeout place that will deliver you french fries and chicken fingers right to the beach!
