There have been many positive reviews about this property. I can attest to their accuracy. My family (6 adults, 4 children) just experienced a wonderful week at this lakefront property. Jill was an excellent host…responsive, great communicator. The house was clean, very well stocked with essentials, great location on the lake, etc. We enjoyed fishing from the dock, use of the three kayaks, swimming at the nearby beach, use of the tennis courts, etc. Our four grandsons loved the game room! We already re-booked our return for next year.Bob

Beautiful lakefront home with gorgeous sunrise & sunsets. The house was clean and very well equipped with everything you would need. We enjoyed the lake. beaches, pool, fire pit & also saw an eagle while relaxing on the deck. My guys fished everyday & night from the dock catching a variety of fish. They also saw a beaver swimming by at night. We also appreciated having a washer & dryer to use. Jill was an excellent accommodating host & reached out to us making sure everything was OK. She had a welcome package & welcome binder in the kitchen when we arrived. The guide had helpful info about the home, lake activities. area menus/restaurants & local attractions to visit. My family is looking forward to our next vacation at the Sunrise Chalet!

Great Stay at the Chalet

This was our first trip to the Poconos and the Sunset Chalet was perfect! Our group included two families with kids and there was plenty of space for everyone inside the house and down by the water, where we spent most of our time. House is as pictured and clean. Thanks for a great relaxing stay!

This place was awesome! Jill was a great host. It was everything we could have asked for, well stocked with all that was needed. We enjoyed the lake and beaches; house was clean and tidy. Plenty of room for 6 adults and a 2-year-old. Fishing was good off the dock and the kayaks provided quiet time on the lake. You can't go wrong with this property!

This is a beautiful property, it has a great layout, room for everyone to have thier own space. Perfect spot to enjoy the sunrise. The lake was pretty busy on the weekend but quiet and serene during the week, ideal for kayaking. We had a great time! Would definitely rent again.

Another Fantastic Trip to Roaming Woods Lake

This is our second time staying in the Hideout on Roaming Woods Lake. We had a fantastic time. The house was great...tons of amenities to keep the kids entertained. We all loved using the kayaks and the kids swam in the lake for hours and hours. The house had everything we needed for a great family trip. We will be back.

An Idyllic Vacation Spot!

Our extended family with our 2 daughters, their husbands and 2 grandchildren was perfect at the Sunrise Chalet! Jill was an amazing host who was great about giving us timely information and she thought of everything to make it a relaxing vacation. The house is situated between the main beach and north beach, so we were able to easily kayak to either one and have others park a car with the kids. I can't say enough wonderful things about how much fun we had.

Great Week at Sunrise Chalet!

We loved staying at Sunrise Chalet! The house was perfect for our group. The owner was helpful and open to communicate from the beginning of our stay. The kitchen was stocked with everyday needs. We also loved the location of the house within The Hideout. It was easy to kayak to the public beach and the kids loved swimming off the dock in front of the house. The beautiful view of the lake from the deck was a great way to drink our coffee in the morning. We really loved this home and hope to return!

Relaxation at Lake

Our family had an amazing time at the lake! The house definitely has a relaxing lake house vibe and the community has tons of amenities. The owners had a welcome package when we arrived, which was greatly appreciated. We caught a bunch of different species of fish from the dock. The kids had fun doing pottery, playing basketball, going to the beaches, paddle boarding, and the pool.

Beautiful lake front home

The home is well maintained/updated and well stocked. The provided bedding was very nice and the bath towels were thick and lush. The online listing was very accurate as were the pictures. The owner even texted us the day of arrival that we could have access two hours earlier than expected. Also, the community pools, beaches, playgrounds and on site restaurants were great. Would definitely rent this house again.

Comfortable and spacious

We very much enjoyed this lakeside retreat! The chalet was very well-stocked (kitchen, baths, laundry, games/puzzles) and had lots of activities for everyone. We most enjoyed the kayaks (3x), fire pit, arcade, screened porch, smart TVs, kitchen and bedrooms. The chalet was very spacious and had spaces for everyone to enjoy together and/or separately. We also took advantage of several of The Hideout community amenities, including the beaches, pool and outdoor basketball court. We also visited the Paws-n-Claws outdoor animal park nearby and it was an amazing surprise - the entire park was shaded and had many unique animals to see and feed. We had a great time!!

Fantastic Lake Trip

Our stay at the Sunrise Chalet was truly fantastic! The house is wonderfully situated right by the lake, offering breathtaking views that left us in awe. The owners went above and beyond to ensure that our family's vacation was completely stress-free. We're no strangers to spending our summers by the lake for a week, but this house has set a new standard - it's the best we've experienced so far! Throughout our stay, Jill was incredibly responsive, promptly addressing any questions or concerns that arose. Minor issues were handled with efficiency. We're already looking forward to returning in the future.

Wonderful family getaway!

Our week-long stay at the Sunrise Chalet was incredible! The house was clean and comfortable, and in a great location (welcome basket was a huge hit with the 4 yo too). The sunrise lake views were a wonderful way to start each day and the house was spacious and well laid out. There were many places outside to relax as well, including the deck, screened in porch, dock, swing, and fire pit area. Our 4 year old daughter loved playing the arcade games in the basement. We also utilized many of the amenities offered at The Hideout (the 9 hole golf course, putting green, mini golf course, arcade, ceramics offered at the art center, etc.). And the best part is that the chalet is within walking distance to two beaches and a pool. We cannot wait to visit again!

We LOVE Sunrise Chalet!! Great R&R!

Our family LOVED our stay at Sunrise Chalet!! The lakefront access was great. We kayaked every day right off the private dock. The lake was very clean for swimming. The game room was fun and kept the kids busy. We were also close to a lot of local attractions and stores ... the location was really convenient for us. We always had something to do. We felt very welcome as soon as we entered the house! It was beautiful and very clean. The views of the lake are really stunning. We saw a bald eagle several times, which was really cool to see up close! We are already talking about our stay next year!! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great place in the Poconos!

Lovely and Relaxing Lake Stay

This home has everything you need to have a great getaway on the lake. Jill and Helen were great at communicating and always available if needed. The house is very well stocked with tv's, games, paper goods, all the basics for cooking and a wonderful welcome basket of snacks and coffee. Heating and a/c is easy to individually program in each room. Beds and bedding were comfy. We cooked most dinners in, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The community amenities were good for any weather; indoor and outdoor golf, tennis, pickle ball, outdoor running and walking routes. It was a perfect place for our family to get away for a relaxing week!

Sunrise Chalet!!

We had an amazing time staying at the Sunrise Chalet! Although, our weather did not cooperate, we loved the beautiful house and its wonderul location directly on the lake! We were able to take Kayaks out right from the back yard. Jill was just wonderful and was available with any questions we had. The community was so nice as well. There were pools and a couple of small beaches on the lake. The house was equipt with a full game room in the basement which was quite nice for us and the kiddos on those bad weather days we encountered. We would love to go back and stay again! Sarah

Sunrise Chalet Didn't Disappoint!

My family and I were looking for a quiet place to stay and needed to be on a lake. The Sunrise Chalet was perfect. We spent most of our days and nights hanging by the dock with my son fishing 24/7. The house was clean and beautifully decorated. We loved the welcome basket and the items supplied (including the bath towels folded on each bed) to get us started. The Hideout has many amenities to offer so there is no need to go to far away. Lastly, we want to thank our hosts for checking in on us and attending to any need we had. You don't get that in many places! We will def be back!
