Honestly a very nice place to stay in a very good community. Rented the place to have a nice weekend away with the family. The Hosts were extremely accommodating and very helpful/understanding! They definitely went above and beyond what I would’ve expected! The property was quite gorgeous and well kept and felt way more like a luxury retreat than just another Pocono cabin. Everything was well labeled inside and didn’t leave much to be asked. My only slight criticism is it’s tough to fit more than 6 people in comfortably (but very doable) without using couches. The pullout bed could use a pad as it’s very thin but still the couches were quite comfortable just used normally. There is plenty of rooms and it’s a lot more spacious inside than the pictures would make you think. Also the deck is huge with ample outside space to enjoy. The ambient lighting around outside was a nice touch too. The Hideout itself is a much nicer Community than many others in the Poconos too with some really solid amenities. The community was very well kept, clean and felt more like a resort than just a gated neighborhood. The kids loved the pools and beaches and there was enough to do that we didn’t get to do everything we would’ve liked and are planning to go back. It’s also near a few nice Farmers Markets and not too far down from Hawley for other stuff to do. Overall the Vrbo exceeded my expectations and my Family and I plan on returning! Quite the gem and best hosts/experience I’ve had on Vrbo!

Kevin and Family! Thank you so much for this detailed and wonderful review. We’re so glad you felt like you were staying at a luxury retreat rather than just a cabin, and it means a lot that you compared the Hideout community to a resort. We work hard to keep the property and the community spotlessly clean, and we’re happy you noticed how well kept everything is. It’s great to hear you loved the huge deck, the ambient lighting, labels and how much more spacious the house felt in person And we’re so happy the kids enjoyed the pools and beaches, and that you found plenty to do, from the community amenities to the nearby farmers markets .We also always ensure fast Wi‑Fi. Thanks also for your honest feedback about the pullout bed and fitting more than six people comfortably. We’ll absolutely add a pad to make the pullout more comfortable, and we’ll keep thinking about how to make larger groups feel even more at home. It’s such a joy to hear you’re planning to come back—we can’t wait to host your family again soon! ❤️

My wife and I rented 2 houses for a 50th wedding anniversary weekend with our family. We rented two houses close to each other. This house was used by my daughter and her family. My wife and I were the first to enter the house. The house is updated, very clean, in great condition with a fully stocked kitchen. Highly recommend!
