Great spot in the Hideout
This was our 4th or 5th year staying at this property, and we again had a great stay. They layout is perfect for a multi-generational group. The massive kitchen table allowed us to eat all meals together, and the multiple levels allowed us to spread out when we needed to. The owner was extremely helpful when we were trying to figure out the fireplace controls, as was the property manager. We definitely recommend!

Great Place, Great Amenities
Amazing wood work through the home made it feel like a cabin. Such fun juke box, pool table and shuffle board to thwart any boredom in a rain storm! Lake was so close with nice beach and pool (oh and a tiki bar)!! We even went to 10th hole on the golf course and had lunch at the pub and mini-golfed! Recommend for a family getaway!

Overall cleanliness
My wife and I were the first to arrive. We found the 3 bathrooms dirty. We hand to shop for cleaning supplies and spend the next 2 hours cleaning the bathroom floors, toilets, showers, and counter tops. The entire kitchen including the oven needed to be cleaned, not to mention the BBQ grill was filthy. After agreeing to the stipulations of the contract, a week before we were to arrive they told us to bring our own sheets or be charged an additional $75. Half way through our stay the WiFi stopped working. I contacted the management company and their response was that there was an outage in the area. Finally with more callers to the management company and 2 days with no service a repairman showed up and it was working in a few minutes. I am requesting a refund of the cleaning charges

Home's location is great. Guests can see the end of Brookfield Lake and have easy access to stroll around it. Home was large enough to accommodate our party of 8 for both dining and sleeping needs.

Absolutely the best vacation!
The house was amazing and the host Bob was beyond what I expected! There was so much to do in the house, around the community and areas around Pennsylvania. The only disappointment was the beds, not that comfy, but other than that it was perfect, can't wait to come back!!!!

Overall was a nice stay
Nice roomy house in a good location. Close to Scranton and Lake Wallenpaupack for other activities. However, 1 TV remote did not work, the A/C filter in LR had not been cleaned and the red light was blinking until we cleaned it ourselves and there were many cobwebs in the lower level bedroom. The mattresses on the main level were not comfortable to sleep on. Sitting on the deck was wonderful. I had my morning coffee there every morning and we also sat out in the evening. House has many games available to play and lots of kitchen dishes, glasses and all kinds of utensils. The Ice maker in the refrigerator did not work and we had to go out to buy ice and ice cube trays. We left the trays for the next people. I feel since there was no ice maker, at least provide a couple of trays for the ice. WiFi worked well. The basement game room was a hit for all.

Lots of room for a multi-family vacation
Location is great, and the house has plenty of room for a large group. It's an older home, and there appears to be some deferred maintenance, but we were comfortable in it for the week. It definitely could have been cleaner upon arrival. Most of the mattresses are very hard, so we piled blankets under the sheets to soften them up a bit. The teenagers loved the game room! The owner and management agency were responsive when I had problems with the wifi and when one of the kids accidentally locked us out of one of the bedrooms. All in all, it was a nice stay.
