Welcome to Elmwood Escape, a 2-bedroom, 1.5 bath home set in the gold star, amenity-filled private community of The Hideout in Lake Ariel.

Our chalet is tucked under snowy trees on a property with a fire pit and a grill on the back deck. Relax inside with the fireplace ablaze while playing pool, or head outdoors to soak up nature with our community ski slope - perfect for your winter getaway!

We are 2-2.5 hours from Philly + NYC. Stay with us for a snowy weekend of Skiing, tubing + more!

Elmwood Escape is full of charm and comes fully equipped for a group getaway in the Poconos. We are the perfect location for a ski weekend with family and friends.

No detail was forgotten - we designed the house hoping to amaze guests with unique, vintage, mountain decor, and fully-stocked kitchen and living areas. Guests will enter the home through the screened-in porch with plenty of seating, then into the kitchen and expansive living space with a smart TV, Alexa Echo Dot, and room for everyone to hang out. The kitchen has retro flair and modern equipment.

There is a dinette set to keep the chef company or enjoy a morning coffee. For even more space, the loft awaits for playing a board game or round of pool.

The beauty continues outside where a deck with a patio set for al fresco dining, and an electric grill are found. A few steps away is a wonderful fire pit area complete with lighting, allowing guests to relax under a starry sky and roast marshmallows.
