Beautiful location. Super nice host with great communication and very responsive. So many amenities. Lots of streaming options. Lots of useful cookware, utensils and other kitchenware. Saw some young deer and a flock/rafter of turkeys. We definitely hope to go back sometime.

This is the second time we stayed here at John’s house at the Hideout and once again, it did not disappoint. The house is well stocked, clean and comfortable, with many amenities for all ages to enjoy. The weather did not completely co-operate but the space to spread out, on all three floors, the games, and the nearby activities made it a wonderful week. Some of us went to Paws and Claws, some to the art center to paint ceramics, lots of playing ping pong downstairs, hiking, and working on a 1500 piece jigsaw puzzle filled the time, and the last beautiful day at the pool and lake was perfect. John is a considerate and attentive host and was so easy to work with. Take a short ride to Kim and Andrew’s farm stand down the road for the most delicious corn, produce and jams and jellies. It was a great week, thanks John!

We have rented this property for a week for several years in a row. Each year, it meets and exceeds our expectations for our family vacation. Some of us like to go fishing and the lakes provide a lot of opportunities to fish. Others enjoy the beach and the pool. Both of these activities are within minutes of the house. The home is well kept and clean. The kitchen is well stocked with necessary utensils, etc. The kids enjoy the ping pong table and other children's toys in the basement. The owner is very responsive to communication. The Hideout offers many activities for your vacation.

This was our second stay at John’s place. House is large enough for our group of 13, which included 9 kids. Basement was the perfect hang out for all of them. House was clean, well stocked. Great location not far from lake and pool. John checked in with us a few times to make sure we were ok and not in need of anything. Highly recommend this house if you are looking for a large group of people. We hope to return in the future!

We were together with extended family. The house is lovely! We were back and forth to Scranton for a couple of events. Easy drive back and forth. Wish we would have had time to use some of the amenities. Great place for the family to gather!

We show up the same weekend every year and it is our favorite weekend of the year!!! We are very happy that this property and John are a part of our tradition!! Stay here if you can!!!

My 3 girlfriends and I have been taking our 9 kids to the poconos for 12 years. This was our first time staying in The Hideout. John’s home is the cleanest and most well stocked home we have rented. The amount of space was perfect for our large group and the lower level is huge! Great for the kids to hang out and have fun. John is a great host, answers questions quickly, checks in with you to make sure all is ok. The community is clean and well maintained. So much to do. We enjoyed the main beach and pool most. Everything about our trip was so great, we’ve already booked next year at John’s home!

We have been back to this property for several years. It is always well cared for and provides everything we need for a good family vacation. The lakes, the swimming pool, and lake beach all provide destinations for our family to enjoy. The ping pong table in the house provides great competition for the grandkids. The host, John, is quick to respond to any needs. The Fourth of July fireworks were a highlight again for our family. We highly recommend this property for a family vacation!

We had such a great time. John was considerate and friendly through the whole process. He was always accessible. The house was perfect. It had plenty of room for the 9 of us, for sleeping as well as community space.
It was fully equipped with everything we needed.
Unfortunately, the weather was not in our favor and we did not get to participate in the activities the community had to offer, so I can not comment on that part of our trip. Thank you

We stayed for a 16th birthday get together for my daughter. Everyone loved the place and had a good time in this cozy cozy home. It is so well stocked with things you might need. The outside is so nice and peaceful. There's so much to do and our host left a well detailed binder which is very helpful. We came in the fall but there is so much to do in the summer. We would go again in the summer.
