Great time

The house was amazing. Our family enjoyed spending time in the game room. The amenities that come with the house were great. Several beaches nearby, a golf course in the complex, and other activities offered through the POA. Great place to stay.

Perfect Getaway

This property was great for a long getaway. Very clean inside (and outside), and enough space to not be on top of each other. Daniela was very responsive to all our questions, maybe the fastest and most detailed of any properties I have rented through VRBO. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for peace, and quiet, in the Poconos.

Wonderful getaway in the Poconos

Wonderful cabin in the woods with lots of amenities. The listing was exactly what was delivered and we all enjoyed ourselves. Our host, was available immediately for the very few questions we had. The basement was awesome - every kind of game along with ping pong, Pac Man (our fav) and air hockey. Hot tub was also enjoyed. Highly recommend!

Great place for multiple families!

This home was way beyond our needs and we were super happy to stay there. We were a 2 family group with a bunch of teenagers and we had plenty of space. My kids loved the hot tub and especially the Ms. PacMan machine. Beds were super comfy, sheets and towels were provided, it was a perfect location. Great communication. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Great space. Great for friends.

Stayed for a girls skiing trip. Place was perfect size with 4 bedrooms and a bathroom on all 3 levels. Game room in basement was a perfect gathering area along with the space in the living room/kitchen area on the 2nd level. Hot tub was good. Neighborhood and entrance area very secure. There is an entry level ski lift in the Hideout which is a nice bonus. Quiet location. Host was very accommodating and always available when needed. Would have liked to see some more usable spices including salt and pepper.

Cozy stay

We had a cozy and fun stay with our family. The property is comfortable, has fun amenities and it is also conveniently located. We went to a park nearby that had nice trails. Our family likes to enjoy a good meal together, therefore we would have liked to have a larger dining table, in relation to the number of guests that the property holds (the table fits 6 people). However, we were able to make it work and had a good time! Communication with the manager was great, she promptly responds to questions and she is very helpful.

Lovely retreat for family gathering

Our family of 5 stayed over the Thanksgiving holiday and we had a lovely time. The house is as described on the website. We found the game room very pleasant and very well maintained. Our kids played a lot of ping pong and air hockey. The living room with the projector is very cosy and the bedrooms are very quiet. The owner was very responsive to any questions we had. All in all a great property. I would recommend it to anyone who would like a nice gateway.
