This cabin was exactly what we needed!! Jamie is an animal lover so having the deer around the cabin was awesome! The lake with kayaking and fishing was top notch. The area was quiet and peaceful, away from the crowds and hustle of daily living. But within 10-60 minutes of all kinds of adventures and activities and entertainment!! We loved it!

Great weekend getaway!

We loved our weekend at this home. It was clean, cozy and comfortable. We were there about 10 minutes when we were greeted by about 10 deer on the property, which was so cool! Our stay there was wonderful and I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

About the host

Hosted by Barbie

Host profile image
Having lived on both coasts (California and New York) we can appreciate the summer fun and winter activities. Thankfully, we decided to put roots down in Pennsylvania, where we can enjoy all four seasons!

Why they chose this property

Situated in a lake community, the Hideout is the perfect mountain cabin getaway. Whether you enjoy the outdoor patio in the warm weather, or soak in winter snowfall through the windows, every season has something special to offer.

What makes this property unique

Our cabin is perfect for every guest. Enjoy a mountain getaway in summer to have fun on the lake. Or snuggle up during winter after a long day on the slopes. Either way, you will love "coming home" to complete comfort and relaxation. Get close to nature with our unique "deer package." Outdoor BBQ and firepit makes it easy to enjoy the wildlife.
