We had a wonderful stay at this family-friendly house! The property was clean, comfortable, and perfect for spending quality time with family. The hot tub and sauna were great amenities that made our stay even more enjoyable. Daniela was an excellent host—she responded to our messages immediately and kindly offered us a late checkout, which we really appreciated. We truly enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend this property to other families!

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. The listing was very accurate. The house was very clean, beautifully decorated, and well stocked.

Not worth the price or Investing !!!The Hideout was disappointing, and the community staff were not welcoming or friendly. Challenges began during check-in, which took over 20 minutes. Despite providing a DL, name, property ID and physical address, that was not sufficient enough for check-in. We were told to scan the QR code on their bulletin board which provided a September calendar of the community events?It wasn’t until we saw another guest family which was when we were provided a community map to navigate to grounds (our last day)The Clubhouse (dining area) told us our account property was “suspended” and would not serve us. After requesting a manager, we were finally permitted to be served. This was unnecessary, and embarrassing especially since we were in an Vrbo! The NMA Center (craft center) staff were unprofessional and dismissive to our interest in participating in a family craft. We were not welcomed in the Hideout Community during our entire stay. Additionally I discovered dry hazardous substance on the first-floor bathroom. This was clearly an OSHA violation and this property should not have been rented until cleaned properly yet I couldn’t be severed in a Pizzaria with a guest badge?These incidents were frustrating and disheartening. Our family was made to feel unwelcome and uncomfortable throughout our stay. We had hoped for a relaxing and enjoyable visit, but that was not our experience.Beware of the challenges before booking or Investing in Th

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to emphasize that The Hideout is a beautiful, welcoming community offering wonderful amenities, recreational activities, and a relaxing environment for families. Over the past five years, our guests have consistently enjoyed their experiences here, and we have not previously received complaints of this nature. While we regret that some of your interactions with community staff were disappointing, the community's check-in procedures, facilities, and staff are independently managed and outside our direct control. We believe this experience is not representative of the wonderful experiences so many of our guests have enjoyed. We were also surprised by this review, particularly because your group left a lovely message in our property's guest book expressing how much you enjoyed the house, the fun, and the activities during your stay. We truly appreciated those kind words, which seemed to reflect a much more positive experience. Regarding the bathroom concern, we would like to clarify that the discoloration was a rust stain from the heater, not blood or a hazardous substance. Cleanliness, safety, and guest comfort remain very important to us. We take great pride in our home and in being part of The Hideout community. We remain confident that it is a wonderful destination for families looking to relax, enjoy nature, and create lasting memories. We appreciate your feedback and wish your family all the best.

Hello,

Me and my husband have bought a weekend home in the community a weekend home, we loved it so much that we are now living here full time. We love having friends over and entertaining so we have decided two years ago to buy another home for short term rental. We are enjoying renting our home and making sure our guests enjoy it also.

Why they chose this property

We love the Hideout because is well maintained, quiet and has a lot of amenities including two beaches, 2 outdoor pools, golf course, ski hill, outdoor courts and club house.

What makes this property unique

Bright, great air flow, two living rooms, two gas fireplaces. The house has a great layout, one bedroom downstairs, two on the first floor, and master bedroom and bath with jacuzzy on the second floor. Guests love that the bedrooms are spread out throughout the house which provides more privacy. It has a circular driveway, very close to the gate.
