About this property

Tranquil Lake Retreat•Dog-Friendly•Lakes•Pools•Beaches•Spacious Family Escape

La Caseta is a Catalan-inspired 3BR retreat in the Poconos, designed for easy summer living: lake days, slow mornings, family dinners, and firepit nights. Guests get full access to The Hideout’s beaches, pools, lakes, golf, tennis/pickleball, fitness center, arcade, sauna, trails, and seasonal amenities, while returning to a calm, pet-friendly home base with fiber WiFi, children’s games, a deck, firepit, and an optional private-chef paella experience.

☀ Fiber-optic WiFi for smooth streaming + calm midweek workdays (no dedicated desk)

☀ Smart TV (bring your own streaming logins)

☀ Free in-unit washer/dryer for longer stays + easy packing

☀ Screen-free fun: lots of children’s games

☀ Deck + fire pit for golden-hour unwinds and stargazing

☀ Pet- and kid-friendly—bring the whole crew

☆☆ BEDROOMS ☆☆
Bedroom 1 – Queen
A soft, quiet landing spot after a day of trails, lake air, or skiing. Close the door, exhale, and let the pace shift—this room is made for deep sleep and slow, unhurried mornings.

Bedroom 2 – Queen
Warm and welcoming—perfect for another couple, friends, or grandparents. Think “hotel comfort, cabin calm”: you’ll wake up rested, then drift toward coffee and daylight without rushing.

Bedroom 3 – Twin-over-Full Bunk Room
A built-in memory-maker for kids. The twin-over-full bunk turns bedtime into a sleepover vibe—whispers, giggles, and story time—while adults get their own space to unwind by the fire.

☆☆ BATHROOMS ☆☆
La Caseta includes 2 full bathrooms, so mornings stay smooth and evenings stay easy—no bottlenecks, no stress. Both are fully stocked with body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and all the essentials, so you can arrive lighter and settle in faster.

☆☆ KITCHEN & RELAXING AREAS ☆☆
The kitchen has all the basics you need to live comfortably—whether you’re doing simple breakfasts before the lake, a cozy pasta night after the slopes, or grazing snacks between pool and pickleball.

But the real magic is in the rhythm of the house. La Caseta is designed for those “little-luxury” moments:

the crackle of a gas-burning fireplace as the room warms up

a glass of wine while dinner simmers

a slow evening that starts with games at the table and ends with “one more chapter” on the couch

streaming your favorites on the Smart TV (with your own logins), then switching to screen-free with the kids’ games when you want something more connected

Midweek reset / remote-friendly: There’s no dedicated workspace, but the fiber-optic WiFi makes it easy to set up at the dining table for a focused block of time—then shut the laptop, step outside, and feel the reset kick in.

Longer stays feel easy here: Free in-unit washer/dryer means you can pack less, stay longer, and keep the trip feeling effortless.

Optional signature upgrade: Private Chef Paella Experience (up to 6 guests)
Turn a great stay into a story you’ll retell. Enjoy a leisurely, luxurious in-home paella experience—a slow, sensory evening inspired by Spain: conversation flowing, aromas filling the house, and a meal that feels celebratory without needing a reservation. Perfect for romantic nights, birthdays, or a “just because” splurge.

☆☆ OUTSIDE SPACE ☆☆
Step onto the deck and let the outdoors set the tone—morning coffee, midday breathing room, and that moment at dusk when everything gets quiet. Gather around the firepit for s’mores, stargazing, and the kind of conversation that only happens when nobody’s in a hurry.

The lake view is seasonal—most visible when the leaves are down, with winter offering the clearest peek through the trees.

Parking: Space for up to 4 cars off-street only (no street parking).

And when you want to turn the dial up from cozy to active, you’ll have full access to The Hideout amenities: lakes and beach, pools, ski hill, golf, pickleball/tennis, fitness center, arcade, sauna, trails, and more (seasonal availability may apply).

Extra things to note: For short-notice bookings (check-in within 72 hours), The Hideout community requires a $100 registration fee, which is not set or collected by us. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

La Caseta is located within a private lake community and is not fully secluded, with neighboring homes on both sides. The lake view is seasonal and most visible when foliage is not in full bloom.

The community ski hill is best suited for beginners and those learning to ski or snowboard. It features four runs plus a tubing run. Rentals and lessons are available; advance reservations are required for lessons and tubing. Please note that La Caseta cannot guarantee the ski hill will be open during your stay. Larger ski resorts, including Elk Mountain and Montage, are approximately 40 minutes away.

Check in was easy & accommodated for an earlier arrival so we could settle in before a 50th celebration party. Kitchen & pantry was stocked with the essentials - snacks, coffee, teas, dishes & cookware.

Really enjoyed our stay and thought the house was very nice. The bedding was all comfortable and lots of included extras. The bedroom AC units worked great. We were there during a heatwave though and my only complaint is that there is no AC in the living/dining/kitchen area. It was very warm in those areas. Otherwise, everything was great and we would certainly return and recommend to others. Spacious layout and even our pup loved the house.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and that everyone—including your pup—felt right at home. It's wonderful to know you found the beds comfortable, appreciated the extra touches, and that the bedroom A/C units kept you cool during your visit. We also appreciate your feedback about the main living area. You happened to visit during an unusually intense heatwave, and while the bedrooms are individually air-conditioned, the open-concept living space can take longer to cool during extreme temperatures. Your comments are valuable as we continue looking for ways to make every stay even more comfortable. Thank you again for staying with us and for recommending La Caseta to others. We'd love to welcome you back for another relaxing lake getaway!

One of the best places to go

La Caseta is one of the best places I have ever been at. I love almost everything about it. The only thing I don't like is the location of the television. I Wish it is upstairs instead of downstairs. Everything else is fantastic!!! Highly recommend!!!

About the host

Hosted by Suzanne and Bradley

Host profile image
Our family has always been passionate about travel, adventure, and meaningful experiences. In 2015, we took a leap and moved from the U.S. to Barcelona, Spain—simply for the experience of living abroad. That time deeply shaped us, and when we returned home, we knew we wanted to continue sharing our love for Spanish culture and travel with others.
That passion became La Única Travel, our bespoke travel-planning company, and later inspired La Caseta—our thoughtfully designed, Spanish-inspired cabin created to spark your own sense of wanderlust. Recently renovated with comfort in mind, La Caseta offers the warmth of home paired with elevated touches, including high-quality bedding, down pillows, and plush towels.

Why they chose this property

Nestled within a peaceful canopy of trees, La Caseta offers a beautiful, private setting. In the warmer months, the lake glistens through the foliage, while in the cooler seasons, open views reveal the water beyond the trees. The home is also just a 10-minute walk to the North Beach, making it easy to enjoy the lake and community amenities.

Inside, you’ll find cozy blankets, books, and board games—perfect for unwinding. Outside, gather by the fire pit for s’mores or enjoy a glass of wine while taking in the serene surroundings. La Caseta is more than a place to stay—it’s a space created to inspire, relax, and reconnect.

What makes this property unique

We poured our hearts into this home and hope you feel the love, intention, and passion behind every detail. Whether you’re here to rest, explore, or dream up your next adventure, we’re honored to share a little piece of our journey with you.
