Payments were expedited immediately, even ahead of scheduled dates. Susan, & her Guests respected our Property, & treated it like their own. Very Clean upon departure.

Great vacation getaway. The house is large, clean, well equipped and very well maintained. Kathy makes a great host, always hospitable and responsive. The lake community amenities are nice too. We've been back twice and have had great experiences both times.

Paula was very pleasant to work with from beginning to end! It was the coldest weekend of the season, so I took extra precautions to ensure a warm & comfy stay! I checked in with Paula to make sure that her & her guests survived the very cold overnight temperatures & had no issues. It is always great to be complimented by my services! It is also a pleasant surprise to see a wonderful review without extending the invitation to post one! Thank you so much Paula! We hope to accommodate you & your guests again in the future!

Beautiful home with plenty of accommodations!!!

Our family spend thanksgiving at this lovely home. Everything was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked for our needs. The game room was a big hit with the kiddies. The owners are very helpful and kind. We went during a snow storm and the home was cleared out when we arrived. We are looking forward to renting again. Wonderful experience!!

"Hideout Hospitality"

I had a most enjoyable week staying in the Poconos. The homeowner of my rental went the "extra mile" to make the home a pleasure to stay in. Everyone could retreat to their own space or gather in the open concept of the kitchen/dining area. I would and will recommend this property to others, should the opportunity arise. THANK YOU for providing such a comfortable environment.

Beautiful home in a beautiful community

Spent a long weekend this winter at this lovely home. . Everything from booking to check-out was very smooth . . Everything inside the home was clean and comfortable. The amenities of the community are pretty nice too .. we were a group of 8 and everyone found something fun to do either in the house (ping pong, fooseball, pool table, wine) or outside (skiing, ice skating, tennis). Overall a wonderful place just made better by all the host who is very co-operative and responsive.

This young gentlemen, (Ankit), was a pleasure to work with. The inquiry came in on Tuesday, January 13th. As indicated by the guest in his review, everything went smoothly. With such a short time frame, with arrival for Friday, the 16th, I must say that this couldn't have gone any smoother! I guess when your out to have a get away, with limited time to complete the transaction before arrival, response time is of the essence! & this couldn't have been any Better! We hope to have Ankit & his guests again in the future!

Thank you for your excellent hospitality...

Great place to spend your vacation! Very well maintained, very clean and well organized home. We spent a New Year break at this place (Dec 29 through Jan 1). What a great stay! Owner was very helpful accommodating us. It was a heavy snow storm on December 29 when we arrived, but all driveways were already clean of snow. We had a special request to have a BBQ grill available to us in the middle of winter. And the owner cleaned up the porch and had an extra propane tank filled for us! As I already mentioned, this home is very clean and well maintained inside. Nice kitchen with dishwasher & island. All kitchen essentials of home were available. Huge Master Bedroom with jacuzzi, second master bedroom and 2 other bedrooms for kids were roomy and cozy with clean linens provided. Great finished basement with bar, pool table and ping pong table is a nice addition. Overall it was a great experience. We'll definitely be back!
Response from VrboOwner on 16 April 2021
Our guests anticipate & can't wait until their arrival. There is a lot of planning, preparation, & care that goes into their arrival, from both themselves & myself, & I like to make sure they get what they have waited for, for months before their arrival. The communications I have with our guests alleviates the unknown & anxieties. I want them to feel very welcomed, & comfortable like home. Upon Alla, & her families arrival, I was there to greet them. What a beautiful family. Alla's husband must be proud of all of the girls in his life. There was a heavy snow storm, so I was glad that they arrived safely. The grounds were prepared for their arrival, & their request for a BB-Q was gladly met. Afterall, it was a special holiday with special planning for the weekend menu. I personally like to make sure that the home is clean, comfortable, well organized, & fresh linens so that our guests feel like they have all the comforts of home. Having amenities to keep everyone of all ages entertained is just an added feature. It is nice to know that I have fulfilled their expectations, & another family left happy with their choice visiting with us, & will return. We look forward to having you, Alla & your family back in the future! :-)

Could use some upgrading. 4 slice toaster. It was rough only having two bathrooms upstairs for people in 4 bedrooms plus den. Had to have people going into the master bath while my husband was still in bed. Maybe a bedroom down stair instead of the den would be better. Den door should have a dark curtain instead of the laced ones. It was great having the linens included and the beds already made. Plenty of towels available . Also wished we didn't have to wait 1hr and 45 minutes to get in the house and to find out the keys were under the mat all along. Anyway thanks for everything.

I find this pretty amusing being there are 50 pictures! I’m Confused about Updating ... a Toaster is one thing, however, adding an Additional Bathroom when there are 2 Full Baths on the Main Level 1 of which is right by the 3 Bedrooms, 1 in the Master Bedroom Suite, & a short walk to the Lower Level another Full Bathroom, Really Suffices! Hotels have 1.... I didn’t Realize that Guests would want to Rearrange the Flow Of Someones Home In Adding an Extra Bedroom in the Rec Area, which already has a Pull Out Sofa Bed! As for the Sleeping Area Added just this year in the Morning/Sunroom with the Lace Curtains, which have been part of the Decor for Quite sometime gives Privacy, however, this was added more for Families who like their Children Nearby! As for a 1hr & 45 minute wait...this Guest & Family are Very Seasoned visiting The Hideout Community for years, & pretty much knows the Drill, however, Failed to Communicate with me through the Whole Process! I stated that Communication during the day of Travel would be via Text Messaging, which I Always do, & did, but was Not Viewed Not Acknowledged, as well as on the day of Departure! My Communications are Clear & Precise, & Instructions were sent Via Text to say I could Not wait with the Holiday Weekend, other Guests Arriving, Other Commitments, & where the Key 🔑 Was. There was Never a Return Response, & Only Expressed an Hour & a Half after I Text Messaged where the Key 🔑 was, Stating we have been here an hour & 45 mins. Unfortunately, there was a Huge Lack of Communication, Not on My Part, as I have been Renting & Managing Not Only Full Time Rentals, But also, Seasonal Rentals for Well Over 10yrs, & I am Very Clear, Precise, & Thorough, & it Shows in My Reviews On All Sites that We Subscribe to! Well ..... Anyway .... We are Glad You had a Nice Time!!

Great space and location, needs some repairs/updates

We had a nice relaxing long weekend at this house. The house is laid out nicely and has lots of space to spread out. The king size bed in the master suite was awesome, I have never slept so well. Our only disappointment with the place is that it needs appliance and electronics updated, and some minor repairs to walkways, doors and windows. There is great potential here. The owner is very easy and polite to communicate with and approachable with concerns/questions. Overall, my husband, teenage kids and their friends had a good time.

Although unfortunately, Diana, whom I worked with well before arrival, was Not able to make this get away, her Guest, Kim & her family did continue with the reservation. Even though I did not meet her & her family, our communications via phone went well to see that they were comfortable upon arrival. Kim left me a Lovely Card expressing how they enjoyed their stay, & how Appreciative she was to both sharing in our home & my Hospitality! It is Always Great to hear such Beautiful Acknowledgements! I do hope that Diana can get some time away from work, & make that visit that she had & her family missed, & I will make sure that we make it Special!

Our stay was exceptional. The Owner was very helpful from booking to being available the day of check-in, during our stay with a few questions and on check out day. Not to mention the nice welcome chilled bottle of wine that was waiting for us. The house was well stocked and very spacious. There was plenty of space for everyone from my teenage nephew to my 7 year old daughter and my 67 year old Mom. We had a great time and look forward to staying here again!

I look forward to accommodating Fraidy & her family again for future stays! Again, thank you.........

Beautiful home, great location

Spent a long weekend in this beautiful, very, very clean and spacious home. We had three families sharing this house and it had loads of space for everyone to disperse but enough space for when everyone was together as well. Kathleen was great to work with and she had a lovely welcome gift for us when we arrived. We utilized the ski area since it was a short driving distance and the prices were very inexpensive for the kids to tube, ski and skate. Thank you so much for a great weekend.

This leaves me literally speechless! I am sooo happy when I hear such lovely things. It only tells me that I was a success in fulfilling the needs of another guest/group. Mary was a pleasure to work with. In our communications, she stated that her children really enjoyed the community, & they would like to come back in the summer. As they enjoyed our winter sports , I am sure they would enjoy the summer ones here as well, with such an array of things to do. We look forward to Mary, her family, & guests visiting with us again in the future!

Very nice, clean, spacious home!

We stayed at this lovely home for a few nights in the summer, with our extended family, ages 4 till 65, 9 people in total.. It is exactly as described. Super clean, spacious, organized. Has all the amineties you need. The owner Kathleen is very friendly and helpful. It has comfortable beds, clean sheets and towels. Basically everything you can ask for. The house has plenty of areas to hang out and relax, such as the living room, sun room, out door deck and of course the basement. Unfortunately when we were there it rained so we didn't end up using the pool or lake. It's highly recommended!

What a lovely review! I don't always have the pleasure of meeting all of our guests, but from this review, I can only have great thoughts of who this family is. It is always wonderful to hear nice things, which shows to future guests the credibility I/we have, in hope that they will stay with us too. I am glad I have met the expectations of Mireille & her family, & I hope if they choose to stay again with us in the future, I will have the pleasure in meeting them, & they get to use the pool & lake!

I am a Native New Yorker, who moved to North Eastern PA/Pocono area due to my husbands job almost 32yrs ago! At the time we had 1 daughter, who was born in New York, & had our 2nd child here in PA. We raised our family here, which BTW, is a Greeeeat place to raise children! Our family has expanded to the next generation, which is an exciting part of our lives now!
Since then, we moved from The Hideout, but are not far off from the beaten path!
It makes for a great location, especially to accommodate the needs of our guests, if need be.
