My husband and I brought our 2 year old daughter here and had a really nice few days. We loved going to the beach during the day and sitting by the fire out back at night. We found the king bed on the first floor extremely comfortable. Can’t wait to return!

nice family vacation. the pool and beach are next to each other which makes it easy to go from one to the other

Beautiful and clean home. Lots of nice amenities pool table, darts, games, grill, firepit, swing and full kitchen supplies. The gated community has a walking trail, mini golf, pools and access to lake with a beach

The house was very clean and so comfy! Loved the pool table and the dart board. Very close to the marina and the park!

We had a great time there, the home was great and had a lot of room. The community was very spacious and the home was only 30 minutes away from a lot of stores. The communication with the owner was good and they replied very quickly. We had a lot of fun there.

The Cottage was clean and comfortable. It was well-equipped with kitchen utensils, a new gas grill, smart TV, and games. The Hideout is a really nice, quiet community. Check in was easy and staff was helpful. Paul was helpful and responsive Loved the nice cool mountain air! Would definitely stay at the Salty Box Cottage again!

We had an amazing time. The house had plenty of games for everyone from board games to pool table. Loved the lake and ceramics!!

This home ihas been totally refurbished and is immaculately clean. Everything you could possibly need is provided. The owners are very nice and responsive. We had some issues with the Hideout staff turning us away from some included amenities and eventually had to call and have the owner sort it out which he did very quickly. My family and I loved the house and explored the surrounding area finding homemade maple syrup and a place to buy bison meat! Five stars!!!!

The Hideout is a gem of a community, with two very nice sand beaches and a very helpful 24-hour staff. This cottage was just what our large family needed for a few days in the Poconos. We have five boys ages 3 to 16 and they all fit comfortably in the bunk room, leaving a whole bedroom for our daughter, and we slept great in the main-floor bedroom which had plenty of room for the baby's pack and play. The very large dinner table was perfect: Some friends of ours with an equally large family were staying at another VRBO a few miles away and they had no dinner table at all! Paul and Fatima were extremely gracious, attentive, and flexible--would recommend to anyone!

This house is very clean, comfortable and has some beautiful upgrades compared to other houses in the community. We would stay here again.

We had the perfect weekend here for a short notice weekend getaway. It was great being so close to Montage mountain so we could ski in the morning and then come back and relax. Our son loved the pool table, dart board, and games. He can’t wait to come back.

Our families have rented several properties in The Hideout and this was BY FAR our favorite. The pictures of Salty Box Cottage and the reviews of the owners do not do this rental justice. First of all, the rental is impeccable. It’s so nicely designed, well laid out, and incredibly clean and tidy. (The high cleaning fee is worth it - especially because renters are not responsible for bringing linens and towels). The bedrooms were cute and comfortable, and the bunk bed room was a hit with our kiddos. (Each bunk bed had a trundle - which added to the excitement). The kitchen was well appointed and had all the basics, plus extra dishwasher pods, dish towels and sponges. We loved the basement game room - there were so many board games in addition to the pool table and dart board (which lights up - much to the delight of the little ones). Paul and Valeria were AMAZING hosts. They were great at communicating prior to our check in, and were quick to respond to any questions or issues we had. They even sent someone over to help us with the fireplace in the main living space when we had trouble lighting it. We booked The Hideout because we were interested in utilizing the Ski Hill and tubing run over Presidents Day weekend. Unfortunately, the tubing run and ski hill were closed for the majority of the weekend due to the recent warm temperatures and inability to produce snow on a large scale. They did open on the last day of our stay, and our hosts were gracious enough to let us stay in our rental longer so that we could take advantage of the community’s amenities. In short, the Salty Box Cottage was perfect for our party of 8. We will absolutely be back, and if you are looking for a place to stay in the Hideout, this is THE BEST place to book!

The owners were so nice and easy to deal with. The house was so clean and comfortable. Has everything and more. Great place and people. Thank you for having us there.

We just loved it here. The owners did such an amazing job with decor and detail, the house felt instantly comfy and inviting. We were super pleased, my little ones also fell instantly in comfy love. We will be back!

My brothers and family friends spent a weekend at the Salty Box Cottage for a low key relaxing hang out. Paul and Fatima did not dissapoint with their cottage. We spent time by the fire pit out back, shooting pool, throwing darts at the illuminated cork dartboard, and hooking our PS5 up to the big screen TV downstairs. There was plenty to do for everyone without even leaving the house. We didn't venture into the Hideouts Amenities, although there were badges left for us if we wanted to. All in all, it was a very clean, well appointed vacation spot and I'd definitely consider going back in the future.

This was our first trip to the area. The Lake Ariel area was beautiful and the house we rented was excellent. The owner,Paul, was very responsive and friendly. The place exceeded our expectations. We will be back!!!

My family and I were lucky enough to be the first renters of Paul and Fatima’s home in the Hideout community. Everything was just as shown in the pictures, beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The owners were very responsive and easy to communicate with and even had the fire pit ready to go! During our stay we had a good bit of rain so playing pool as well as the games that were at the house was great. Thank you Paul and Fatima for making our stay enjoyable.
