    The place is exactly like in the photos. It is a very peaceful and clean house. The host communicated promptly and everything went smoothly. We had a great time staying here for our trip!

    My entire family rented several houses in the Hideout to celebrate my mother's 80th birthday. My sister's family, my mom, and my family all stayed in this house. It was plenty roomy for all of us, easily housing 5 adults and 5 kids. First, the mudroom was a great staging location for wet boots, shovels and coats, as we were there during snowy weather. The large tv was a hit, allowing everyone a view, as was the free wi fi, keeping everyone connected. The dishwasher was very nice and was able to keep pace with our large shared meals, which were eaten in the spacious sunroom. 19 of us were able to fit around the table and it was nice to have a pass through to the kitchen and enjoy the beautiful backyard view. The basement game room was another big hit, as everyone took turns playing ping pong and pool. Finally, the owners were very helpful to us during our stay, arranging for the driveway to be plowed so we could get out to enjoy the fantastic rec center, which we rented for the afternoon. Unfortunately, the ski slope was closed, but that would have been a very convenient walk or ride.

    This Property provided perfect accommodations for our family group(10). We were looking for a Fall getaway that would work for people in their 70s, 40s and teens. We saw deer every day so close you could have feed them from your hand. Of course, we would never do this! This house has the feeling of home with the right combination of rustic and modern conveniences. We will be back. J. and M. T. Delray Beach, FL

    This house was exactly as described. Owner was quick to respond to a few questions that we had. Easy transaction for the rental agreement. We loved eating our meals in the sunroom. Kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans needed to prepare meals. We could see many deer, muscrats (we think they were muscrats lol) and wild turkey walking around. The kids got a big kick out of watching them! Beds were very comfortable. Master bedroom had a lovely 4 poster bed and a cute balcony. House was very clean. My son loved the basement with the pool table, ping pong, foosball and darts. Close to Claws and Paws animal zoo. We took a 30-40 min. drive to Scranton for a coal mine tour and Steamtown. We enjoyed the community beach on the lake as well as the pool. My husband and son walked from the house to Deerfield Lake to do some fishing (catch and release) and caught a fairly good size bass! We would definitely rent this house again. Good food at Trio's and Backdraft restaurants, both a short drive from the house! We were sad to go when the week was up!

    Wonderful house for the entire family! House is in excellent condition. Plenty of room. Beautiful views. Deer visit daily. Squirrels and chipmunks playing constantly. Very quiet, relaxing. Grille works great. Large sturdy deck. Vaulted ceilings, balcony. Just perfect. Plenty of entertainment for kids (pool table, ping pong, ice air hockey). We plan to make many future trips and stay at this same property. The renters are super friendly and make the rental process a breeze. I highly recommend this property

    Our family had a great time over the long President's weekend. The location to the local ski mountain really worked out for us so we could come and go as we wanted. Plenty of space for all of us and our dogs loved the back yard. We would definitely come back next year!

    We had a girl's weekend at Tatyanna's home. It was a positive experience dealing with Tatyanna. The property is true to the pictures. Right next to the community ski slope, very quiet and calm. The home is very clean and comfortable and we enjoyed our stay there. The only reccomendations I would make would be to put more seating in the living room area so more people can congregate comfortably and to leave instructions for the water and fireplace. Thanks for everything Tatyanna.

    Owner response: I appreciate your response. However I do want to point out that instructions for fireplace use are inside of the fireplace where the controls are. As far as the water, I don't really anticipate the shut off so I don't want to leave instructions in order to prevent unnecessary tampering with the water heater. Thanks for the truthful review though

    My church gathered young fathers to have retreat and spend one night at this place. Nine of us had plenty of space to go around and seat around. Pool table in the basement was a good for spending quite a few hours of quality time. The owner was also something to remember that she was very kind and patient to explain the fist-time-house renter. This house has a nice neighbor to walk around. There is a small ski and tubing ramp great for kids and learner. There is also a lake with canoe rental. Good to go in winter and good to go in SPRING, SUMMER AND FALL.....basically all year long. I will not hesitate to come back to this place. And I will surely recommand to my friends to have a cozy get away trip.

    We surprised my daughter for Christmas with a skiing trip and she said it was the best gift ever! We left the Tuesday after Christmas and stayed through Friday. The house was immaculate and very well equipped. The location was prime for skiing!! We could see the ski lift from the living room. The hideout ski staff was absolutely wonderful too. We took some great photos of a sweet little deer family in the yard. A good time was had by all and we will definitely rent this house again!!

    Owner response: Thank you guys for the great review. I am glad you enjoyed the house and you are always welcome anytime. We try to keep the prices down at all times to make it affordable. We also do our best to keep the house very clean by cleaning it ourselves and NOT use the cleaning services. Thank you again and have a great year ahead of you!!!

    This house is so beautiful, clean, and spacious perfect for a family get away. My kids enjoyed watching the deers and playing ball in the back yard and my husband just enjoyed the pool table. We had such a wonderful time enough room for everyone to sleep and loaded with all our nessesities. The owner is so easy to deal with and the house was very clean I have to stress that. We will definitely visit again.

    We stayed at the house for a long holiday weekend, we have a large family with kids and a dog. Everyone had plenty of space for sleeping, resting and playing. The house was super clean and organized, with everything you need to be comfortable for a few days away from home. There is a big backyard, kids and dog enjoyed playing there. We also really enjoyed the veranda and sun room for family meals and games. It's a very quit and peaceful area, lots of deers and rabbits running around. Community pool and lake are about 5 min by car, and 20 min walking. We enjoyed swimming in the pool, although it was a bit crowded there - possibly due to a holiday weekend.

    Owner response: Thank you guys for the nice review. You are welcome to come back any time. I just want to clarify one thing. The Beach and pool is 10 min walk and less than a minute by car, NOT 20 min walk and 5 min by car. Thanks and enjoy your summer

    My family and I went this June and I have to say the owner was so easy to deal with. The house was comfy. The yard was nice for the dogs to play in. Stuff was easy to find locally. Horse back riding, water park about 40 minutes away (although we weren't able to enjoy due to rain.) We were able to drive up to the Mt Airy Casino. Bingo down the road for your older travelers who enjoy bingo. The community pool/lake was clean and not over crowded. The deers were a nice site to see. Nice, quiet neighborhood. The house overall was spacious enough for the whole family without everyone stepping over each other. We spent a lot of time in the sun room were we played mostly games. Great place for the whole family.

    My family went there for a winter break and had a wonderful time. Located in a close proximity to the tubing and skiing within the same community, which made it very convenient for us. We didn't even have to leave the community. After a skiing trip, our family had a relaxing evening in front of a cozy fireplace. My daughter enjoyed playing ping pong for hours downstairs. The house was very spacious, clean and best of all affordable. The owner was very pleasant and easy to deal with. It was the perfect place, we can't wait to come back again! If you want to get away for a week or even a weekend, this is definitively a place to go.

    We went with this house because it was the most affordable. At the super low rate they gave us, we went with low expectations... just needed a place to sleep at night. Well, we were surprised by how clean and cozy the place was. It had the perfect winter cabin type of feel. We were supposed to go skiing but noone wanted to go anywhere... instead, we went sledding in the backyard and played ping pong downstairs. And of course, ATE a lot. The kitchen really does come equipped with everything you need to cook a meal from a roasting pan to a rotisserie. Pros: Clean (this is a big thing for me since I have 3 kids), Cheap, Comfortable, Close to the ski hill (you can see people skiing from the living room window). The owner is really nice and answers all of your questions w/in 24 hours. Cons: I really can't think of anything negative. If I had to pick one thing, I guess the living room is a little smaller than what we expected. But, it was enough space for us. We had 13 people hang out in the living/dining area and noone was in each other's way. There are more common areas so space in the entire house is not an issue. Everyone in the group enjoyed the house and all have agreed they want to come back with their own families.

    we arrived as a family of 8 for the weekend to a spotlessly clean house with crisp fresh linens. There was no surprizes, the description fits the reality completely. We had lots of fun, we walked to the lake where I caught some great fish that we cooked on the grill the same night. I will definitely go back to the same house again. Thanks to the owners, keep up the good work
