House with its own PRIVATE BEACH, DOCK, FIRE PIT on the beach, HOT TUB, GAME ROOM, and BASKETBALL court in parking lot. ENJOY the VIEW of the LAKE, and the SUNRISE, from the beach or from one of the decks.
In the last 3 months of 2017, we have done a great deal of renovations, upgrading our kitchen, living room, and now have an additional room for the Hot Tub, an additional bathroom, and 2 new decks. The top deck is about 31 feet long by 16 feet wide, and about half that deck is covered by a glass roof. This means that you can be outside while it rains and barbecue.
This house is in the Hideout, a 4 star gated community. They offer activities for adults, teens, and toddlers. During the summer they have swimming and tennis lessons, day camps, and sports camps available.
Our LISTED PRICES are for 10 PEOPLE, including infants. An additional $30 per person, per day or night is to be paid to have up to 14 people, even if those additional 4 people are infants. (During the weekly summer rentals, it's $20 per additional renter per day or night, up to 14 renters.)
Therefore, if paid for, the MAXIMUM number of people who can be in the house or on the premises during any rental period is 14. Those 14 names must be given prior to the rental date.

The community has 2 beaches, one swimming pool for adults, one for children. Fishing is allowed with a permit, but it's a catch and release fishing policy. The Hideout issues a FINE if fish are not released. Check where to get a fishing permit with the Hideout, as location changes at times. Skiing is available on the premises, weather and snow availability permitting. Keep in mind that SWIMMING IS AT YOUR OWN RISK, whether in the lake, or in the pools. Diving is never allowed. There are big rocks at the bottom of the water. (Swimming pools are available for use from Memorial day through Labor day.)

There is a $245 SECURITY DEPOSIT required, IN ADDITION TO the required $79 RENTER'S INSURANCE, that's offered by HOMEAWAY/VRBO. The reason for the security deposit is because your renter's insurance will not pay for every charge you cause. For example, if anyone in your party gets a speeding ticket, a littering ticket, etc at the Hideout, your renter's insurance will not pay for it. (Inside the Hideout, this gated community, the speed limit is 15 to 25 mph.) Therefore, if someone in your party gets a speeding ticket, or any other ticket at the Hideout, your security deposit will be used to pay for that ticket. The security deposit will also be used to cover anything else the renter's insurance will not pay for.
The Hideout charges a late fee of $40 if given less than 2 working days to process your registration paperwork.
Pennsylvania charges a 6% state sales tax for short term rentals, meaning rentals less than 30 days, and a 3% rental tax for Wayne County. (That's why we charge you those taxes.)
