About this property

Great Place for Leaf-Peeping this Fall: Exclusively at the Hideout!

Do you love nature and looking to have a relaxing time in the woods? This is your chance. Leaf peeping, deer watching, hiking, lake life and more! Situated in a beautiful lake community, the Hideout is cozy and the perfect place to unwind from city life or the hustle and bustle of work, school, and sports. Maybe you need a weekend to reset and come back Monday morning refreshed. Whatever the case may be, we got you covered!

As Super Hosts, we know just what our guests need to unwind. For starters, there is FREE driveway parking, as we cover the $60 fee charged by the community, so you don’t have to! The cabin is professionally cleaned between guests, so you walk into fresh bedding, luxury towels, and everything ready to make your stay here amazing!

You have the whole house to yourself. Enjoy both our indoor fireplace and outdoor fire pit. You bring the S'mores! We will provide you with coffee every morning, either Keurig or fresh brew. With creamer and sweeteners. We know how important coffee can be! Complimentary, of course, to show how much we love our guests and want you to come back again and again.

Although some people prefer to be off the grid, we still offer Wi-Fi, app streaming TV, and an office workspace. There is a closet full of board games and puzzles to keep the kids busy. Snuggle up to the fireplace with your fuzzy socks and make family memories together!

Enjoy the fully stocked kitchen with pots, pans, silverware, plates, glasses, spices, and everything you need to make a meal. Just bring the food! We also provide a water cooler for drinking and making ice cubes. Outdoor propane BBQ is available for use on our deck. And we give you a few pieces of firewood to get you started. Just up the road there is more for purchase.

As for the location, it is close to lots of things that draw people to the Poconos: Camel Back Mountain Resort and Jack Frost Big Boulder Mountain. Only 18 miles from Jim Thorpe rated the #4 place to leaf peep in the USA! Also, not far from Kalahari Indoor Waterpark. We are five minutes from the Poconos Raceway which is next to Poconos Organics (our favorite place to eat!) People love staying here when they attend the air show, NASCAR races, festivals, and we even had some Tough Mudder participants!

Whether you want time away to finish your novel or you want to scoop the kids up for a fun time in the mountains, the Hideout is the place for you! Book your stay today. You won’t regret it!

This place is the best! We've camped in many places, both in tents and cabins, but this cabin and the place are the best. The cabin is equipped with all the necessary items and things you wouldn't imagine. For example, upon entering the cabin, we found two bottles of wine (free). My wife was delighted with the decor, Everything inside and out was beautiful, My two children were very entertained feeding the deer that arrived in the afternoon and morning, both young and old, We will definitely be back.

Great weekend getaway!

We loved our weekend at this home. It was clean, cozy and comfortable. We were there about 10 minutes when we were greeted by about 10 deer on the property, which was so cool! Our stay there was wonderful and I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

We enjoyed this rental. Was just what we were looking for. The house was just as described. The fireplace was great as it was cold an snowy. Having the deer come hang out in the yard was very pleasant. The community looks like it is very nice. Will definitely be back in the near future.

Anniversary Weekend

This was a nice cute place that was perfect for 2 people. The location was great and easy to get to food places that you can eat out at or market to bring back and cook. The down sides of the place was the bathroom was small and outdated and the lightning was not the best for my wife trying to do her makeup. These 2 things didn’t put a tamper on our time as we had a great time and would rent again.Thank you

About the host

Hosted by Barbie

Host profile image
Having lived on both coasts (California and New York) we can appreciate the summer fun and winter activities. Thankfully, we decided to put roots down in Pennsylvania, where we can enjoy all four seasons!

Why they chose this property

Situated in a lake community, the Hideout is the perfect mountain cabin getaway. Whether you enjoy the outdoor patio in the warm weather, or soak in winter snowfall through the windows, every season has something special to offer.

What makes this property unique

Our cabin is perfect for any season. Enjoy a mountain getaway in summer to have fun on the lake. Or snuggle up during winter after a long day on the slopes. Either way, you will love "coming home" to complete comfort and relaxation.
