Host was wonderful! From the booking process to check out- it was a breeze! They answer so quickly, are happy to help and the communication was super easy and quick. Everything looks like the photos the sheets, beds and bathrooms were very clean. They leave you bathroom amenities, provide starter paper towels, sponge dish soap etc and toilet tissue. The cleaning people left a lovely snores basket that was such a nice touch and sweet surprise! We will definitely be booking again. Also- For a pet friendly home it didn’t smell and there were no signs of fur. In fact I have allergies to pets that shed and I was fine the whole stay! My dogs were very comfortable too! Thanks for a memorable stay and for your wonderful hospitality!

Great Stay

The home was absolutely gorgeous… Couple of things that should have been taken care of like the grill being dirty and lots of dead insects in the home. Overall this was a great stay I will definitely be coming back!!

Thanks Joshua for the great review and feedback. Unfortunately the bugs are No See Ums and as quickly as we clean them up they are there again every morning. We do have a pest control contract that does monthly maintenance on the property but some bugs just are resistant and being in the woods and near the lake, this can happen. Sometimes the guest forget to scrape the grill, but this is now part of a cleaning check list so thank you! Always remember that you can call us at anytime for any issue and we will address it. We do look forward to hosting you again.

Weekend at The Hideout

We loved our cute little cottage in the woods. It was perfect for us and our family staying with us. The host even included baby items for my 1 year old nephew. The house had plenty of room for the 5 adults and 4 kids and we enjoyed grilling and just enjoying family time together.

Host profile image
Hi! I’m Diana — your host and local go-to person for all things fun and comfortable 😊

I love creating spaces that feel cozy but stylish — where you can relax after a busy day exploring. Hosting is something I genuinely enjoy because I get to help people have great experiences in our area.

If you need restaurant recommendations, coffee spots, or hidden gems — I’ve got you covered!

Can’t wait to host you!

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with The Hideout because it feels like a true getaway. It’s quiet, scenic, and surrounded by nature — but also full of fun amenities.

There are lakes for kayaking and swimming, beaches in the summer, cozy snowy winters, nearby skiing, and plenty of space to relax and unwind. Whether guests want adventure or a peaceful weekend with coffee on the deck, this neighborhood offers both.

It’s the kind of place where you instantly slow down and breathe deeper.

What makes this property unique

What makes this property unique is the balance between cozy mountain charm and thoughtful, modern comfort. It’s not just a place to stay — it’s a space designed for slowing down and reconnecting.

From peaceful mornings surrounded by trees to evenings spent unwinding after a day on the lake or slopes, the home feels private and serene while still being close to all of The Hideout’s amenities. Every detail was chosen to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels intentional and elevated.
