Our family had a wonderful time at the Hillside Hideaway vacation home. Julie is a terrific host and the house is so pet friendly. We loved the two decks that had gates on them. The gated decks allowed our doggos to hang out with us outside of the house. The air conditioning was an added bonus because most of the Pocono rentals we have stayed at in the past didn’t have any air at all. We were nice and cool the whole time. The Hideout community has great amenities and the rental is also close to Lake Wallenpaupack where you can rent a boat or a jet ski.
We had a wonderful stay at Julie's property in The HIdeout for a long weekend get away. Her home is beautifully decorated with designer touches and a well appointed kitchen. The memory foam bed in the main floor master was incredibly comfortable. We loved sitting on both the front and back decks to enjoy the solitude of nature. We had so much fun enjoying the amenities; especially the main pool and beach (with tiki bar!) that were a short walk from the house. Julie welcomed our rather large dogs which we really appreciated. One touch that was especially appreciated was the snack basket and lovely bottle of red wine that were waiting for us upon arrival. Julie was available to us throughout the weekend but we really didn't need to contact her because the information that she provided pre-arrival and the packet that was left for us at the house told us all we needed to know. I highly recommend staying at this home.

Disaster
The property outside was overgrown and just one big mess. The inside of the house was a huge mess food left in the refrigerator, the freezer the cupboards, most of it expired by almost 2 years crumbs of food in the dining area on the table, high chair had dried food on the tray on the seat. The foot rest couldn’t tell if any of the towels were clean they were just thrown in the cabinets had to wash all the towels and bed linens before we use them just from the way everything was left really couldn’t tell if it was clean or somebody just put them in there. It was a three bedroom house with a living area a big dining area and there was three portable air conditioners in the house to say the least. It was hot ceiling fan in the living room, didn’t work, no pull chain on it to try and see if it worked. The only way I can describe the house being is it look like there was a really bad emergency and they just left the house as is I have stayed many places with Vrbo in the past, and this one was absolutely the worst , if we weren’t there for 10 days or so being on a holiday week I just would’ve canceled. It took the loss of my money and went and stayed someplace else that was cleaner but unfortunately with it being a holiday a lot of the places were booked feel free to contact me .

Thank you, Mandy, for your review. We appreciate that you took the time to reflect on your stay. We pride ourselves on excellent communication with our guests. We sent you a welcome message 48 hours prior and again sent a note after you had checked in. We also sent a note the day before your check-out. However you did not reply to any of our messages nor did you reach out to us at any time during your stay. If you would have reached out we would have immediately arranged for cleaners and lawn folks during your stay.
Moving forward we have addressed the issues you identified with our cleaning crew and the lawn contractors. Summer is a busy time and a lot of them have same day turnovers, however we have taken steps to ensure that this never happens again.
As clearly mentioned in the listing, there are three portable air conditioners - most Pocono homes do not have central air and we have never had anyone else face issues with the cooling. We also have 2 powerful , portable Lasko fans for use at any point as needed.
We pride ourselves in being great hosts and ensuring our guests have a wonderful stay is our top priority. You can rest assured that this will not happen again. We have always had excellent reviews, and Superhost/Premier status in more than 3+ years of hosting. Thanks!
we had a wonderful stay at the hideout. Julie was as helpful as could be. we had a few questions and she replied immediately and set us on our way. we were so excited we were able to bring our 2 dogs. her home was cozy and inviting. we have stayed at the hideout once before and after our stay again, we will be looking to go back. thank you Julie and vrbo for having a place that our family and dogs were able enjoy.
Everything about working with Julie was a pleasure. She is a gem and willing to work with you on EVERYTHING.
The home was clean and comfortable, with plenty of AC and fans to keep it cool even on really warm days. The rooms have excellent beds and mattresses were dressed with high-quality linens. (TBH, the futon in the loft was more comfortable than some hotel beds I’ve stayed in.) Bathrooms were generous in size, bright, and well-appointed. The four seasons dining room and multiple decks and porches provided my family with loads of spaces for chit-chat, game play, private reading, and so on. We also loved using the fire pit on cool nights.
Weather is obviously never a guarantee, but there’s always something to do at or near The Hideout. We had three really warm days perfect for the beach and pools, three cooler days perfect for hiking, boating, mini-golf and visiting nearby Paws & Claws, and one day that we stayed in, played a ton of games, and enjoyed the majesty of the woods in a storm.
I am already planning my return to this property. LOVE IT!!!!
