About this chalet rental
Welcome to Sunrise Chalet, a lakeside beauty now available for late spring to fall rentals! Only about 2 hours from NYC, North/Central Jersey and Philly, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath Northern Poconos lakefront home has some of the most stunning views in the area, plus a FLAT walkout to the lake/private dock! Located on Lake Roamingwood in the private Hideout community in the town of Lake Ariel. Even better, the home is located in the mid-section of Roamingwood Lake (considered the most desirable section by many due with its gorgeous views)!
Sunrise Chalet has everything you’re looking for in a Poconos getaway. You can enjoy spectacular lake views from the great room with its soaring knotty pine cathedral ceiling or from the expansive porches (both screened-in and open). Relax in front of the dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone propane gas fireplace in the great room. Take one of the kayaks out on the lake or roast marshmallows at the dockside fire pit. Have a zen moment with the provided yoga mats and accessories, or go downstairs to the game room and try your luck on the four stand-up arcade units or fully loaded classic Nintendo game area. Or, do some bird watching. Keep an eye out for the bald eagle that likes to roost in the tall trees by our dock!
No need to sacrifice modern conveniences, either. These include new split-unit AC system with remote controls; new washer and dryer; new large-capacity water heater; completely-remodeled bathrooms on 1st and 2nd floors; a kitchen with granite counter tops, 2 islands and stainless steel appliances; higher-speed wireless WiFi; and Smart HDTVs in the great room, game room and each bedroom. As a courtesy to our guests, we provide complimentary access to the Sunrise Chalet Netflix, Hulu with Live TV, Disney+ and ESPN+ accounts. The home very uniquely offers additional convenience with a 2023-installed whole-home automatic generator (in the off-chance of a power outage).
The home is in the 24/7 gated Hideout community with numerous amenities offered to guests, including 2 heated outdoor pools, 2 sand beaches with play areas for kids, golf course, indoor/outdoor tennis courts, 2 restaurants, tiki bar, mini golf, fitness center and more. Scenic hiking trails abound, and, for boat rentals, public boat launches and numerous lakeside dining options, huge Lake Wallenpaupack is just a short drive away. The expansive Crossroads outlet stores are approx. 45 minutes away.

Our family had a wonderful week at this beautiful home which was well stocked. Great location on the lake with beautiful views. Our grandchildren loved all the video and arcade games downstairs which came in handy on a rainy day. Kayak rides and swimming in the lake! So much to do in the Hideout. We will definitely return!

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!

You can’t go wrong renting this property! Amazing location, great amenities, and so much to do in the area. Jill was an amazing host. She answered our questions immediately. Our party ranged from ages 7-70 and everybody loved this trip! Highly recommend!

We have rented lake houses before and this one was our favorite so far. It was clean, beds were comfortable, and having three bathrooms all with showers or a tub is great for family of 10! The downstairs was a hit with our 7 and 8 year old grandchdren with video games, arcade games, and TV. There were lots of board games and card games. Even puzzles for the 2 and 3 year olds.
The house was well stocked with kitchen essentials, and even had a great welcome basket. They have really put a lot of thought into this rental.
We enjoyed the kayaks and caught lots of fish. Kids went swimming in the lake and we met the Snapping Turtle who we think lives under the dock. Plenty of life jackets were available in all sizes. They had beach towels and chairs that we took to the beach and pool. We visited Claws & Paws which is very close by. Also took a nice hike at Lacawac Sanctuary.
Communication with Jill was excellent. You cant go wrong with renting the Sunrise Chalet!

Stayed for a week with my adult children and their families. Was not disappointed. The house was as pictured in the description. Plenty to do in the Hideout community and the guest passes included with the rental was an added bonus. We enjoyed fishing, swimming and paddle boarding right from the backyard dock. Lake patrol security was excellent at enforcing boating rules to keep everyone safe. As the host points out in the description, the driveway is very steep and after a heavy rain the gravel gets a little loose. My son in law's car was lighter and had some trouble getting out, but took his time and did make it out. Jill was a great host. We will definitely stay there again!

Our family had a wonderful time in this home. Very clean and well stocked. The property manager was very attentive. Would definitely stay here again.

What a great getaway we had at Sunrise Chalet! The house was perfect for our family of six, with ample gathering space. Beds were comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed and more, the neighborhood was peaceful, and the lake view was wonderful. My elderly parents appreciated the not-too-steep walk down to the water's edge, the main floor master suite, and the easy step into the front door. WiFi handled Zoom calls and multiple streaming devices. The listing description and photos are accurate and thorough.
A major plus of renting here is the host. Besides creating a comfortable experience with many thoughtful touches, Jill delivers excellent communication from booking through the stay itself. She responded immediately to minor issues that we brought to her attention, and gave us a heads up about some tree work scheduled for an adjacent property.
All in all, a terrific stay at the lake!

The perfect relaxing getaway! The property was clean, set up nicely & beautiful! Communication with the property owner was amazing. Atmosphere was wonderful. I felt like I was staying at a family members home. I recommend 10/10!

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.

We all had a wonderful time and didn't want to leave. The Sunrise Chalet is beautiful with gorgeous views of the lake...the perfect location. We enjoyed kayaking, paddleboarding, and lounging on our 5 seater inflatable by the dock. The kids liked fishing off the rocks and dock, and were so excited when they caught the fish!! We sat around the campfire in the evening and made smores while enjoying the lake. The lake house is well stocked with essentials. Jill is the best! She was so helpful with any questions we had and was so accommodating. We visited the arcade, the tiki bar, beach, and swimming area at the Hideout. Took a boat tour at Lake Wallenpaupack and learned about the history of the area. Visited several waterfalls, did some shopping, and ate at some nice restaurants. Overall, a very fun time for all of us. Would love to return one day!

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.

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.

Our family greatly enjoyed our stay at Sunrise Chalet. The views of the lake wet stunning, especially during the peacefulness of the morning. We loved the kayaking, the game room, fishing, and just relaxing by the water's edge. The screened in porch was the perfect, quiet, morning location for relaxing & reading. Jill was great and prompt with any questions or concerns. The house was as advertised. There was plenty of space for our family and all the comforts of home were provided. Family dinners overlooking the lake made our time there priceless. The surrounding area was beautiful and made morning walks more enjoyable. The pool and beaches were easy to access. We hated to leave. Thank you for everything!

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!

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!

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.

The Sunrise Chalet, was exactly as described and was the perfect spot to celebrate my husband’s birthday with his family. There was plenty of space for everyone. We all enjoyed playing the arcade games in the basement and the house had a nice variety of board games for the adults and even our one four year old. We all also enjoyed relaxing by the fire pit and Kayaking. It was everything we could have wanted and would highly recommend.

Everything from the location, scenery and accommodations were wonderful! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again if we were ever in the area!

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!

We had the best family vacation ever here! Jill was an amazing host and the house had everything we needed and then some! It was so well stocked and had games and activities for kids of all ages! The welcoming basket was so awesome! The kids and adults loved everything. The backyard with the lake and fire pit was the perfect way to wind down with s’mores and scary stories after a great day. The fishing in the lake was incredible and convenient. Everyone caught something! We rented a boat on a nearby lake from Poconos action sports. We had so much fun tubing and cruising the lake. The neighborhood was fantastic too! The pool/beach/snack bar was a great daytime activity plus the arcade and mini golf keep us entertained as well! I can’t say enough great things about this house, this location and this host, we will definitely be back! This is a No brainer for your next getaway!!

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.

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!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Sunrise Chalet. The community had many amenities that we actually never made it too as we had everything we needed right at the house. Everyday we caught lots of fish right from the pier, floated in our inner tubes on the lake, and in the evening sat around the fire pit roasting marshmallows and fishing until we couldn't see our lines in the water. Jill was a great host and communicated throughout the week. Everything you needed to make a family meal was already there and most days we cooked on the provided grill and ate on the one of the many outside tables just like a picnic. My teenager enjoyed the many games in the basement and I even had to school him in Super Mario Bros on the provided Nintendo. We can't wait to go back.

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!

Even better in person! Lovely!
Such a wonderful lake vacation! The house is just beautiful and very clean, and the beds were super comfortable. And the lake is fantastic -- the kids were constantly in the water, at least when they weren't downstairs playing arcade games! Having A/C throughout the house was also a big plus. Jill was a great host and had lots of good suggestions for fun activities. The kitchen was well-equipped and had everything we needed, and everyone enjoyed the thoughtful welcome basket. We'll be sure to come back next year!

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!!

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!

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.
