We went to The Hideout to celebrate my mom’s 96th birthday and had a wonderful time! The house was perfect for the 7 of us. The host, Matt, checked in with us when we arrived to make sure everything was ok. Although we were all adults, the house is great for kids, too. The location is perfect and the amenities were just as described. We barbecued, hung out on the deck, explored the area and spent evenings all together in the cozy living room. It was so much fun and mom loved it.

Great property in a community with plenty of things to do. The game room was a hit with the kids. Owner communication was great and everything was ready and working when we arrived. Would definitely rent again. For a rather sizeable community, the house felt very secluded (in a good way) with lots of privacy.

We had a great weekend, and really enjoyed our stay. The kids LOVED the game room (Skeeball! Foozball! Billiards! Arcade Games! And a C64 Emulator?!!), the adults loved the firepit and the porch! The shared lake and pool was fantastic, very child friendly - a great getaway.

Very clean and had everything we needed. Our teenagers enjoyed the game area. It was exactly what we were looking for! A weekend away to just relax and spend time together! The owners were super helpful and very quick to respond if we had a question.

The house was very cozy and was a perfect layout for all of us to make meals and eat together inside or outside on the deck. We loved that we could watch movies or have a game night upstairs or downstairs. We played lots of ping pong and arcade games and appreciated the movie decor😊.
The Hideout itself is a little challenging as it was crowded on the beach and in the pool area (a holiday weekend could be the reason) and the public safety officers take their responsibilities very seriously 🙄. But the location of the house is very tranquil and serene. And Matt was very attentive and helpful with providing lots of suggestions for what to do and where to go in the area.
We will definitely consider staying here again.

Matt was a great host! Communication was easy and efficient. He also offered extra info for fun activities for the kids. The house was clean, very well stocked and the basement is a God send for kids on a rainy day! We felt at home from the start and had a blast even though it rained ALL day on Saturday.

My children & grandchildren stayed at Whispering Woods for a 3 day snow tubing trip. The owner Matt was the most cordial person to deal with. He answered every question i had so fast I was truly impressed. He and his wife made several suggestions about activites in and around the community that myself and my grandkids might enjoy. The house had every th hing we could possibly need, all the way down to qtips in the bathrooms. Im very OCD and have a cleaning business and i tell you this place met my standards which are pretty high. The downstairs game room was awesome for the kids as well as myself. I haven't played Pack-man in over 40 yrs and it was so much fun. Im not as good at ping pong but still beat the little ones, lol. The Mickey room was a big hit for my grandson who informed me he was not coming home with us but was gonna live there forever with Mickey. Cant say enough about this place and the owners. Hoping to get back in the summer. Matt thanks again for mak im ng th his a wonderful holiday vacation my family will remember long after im gone! Annie

Our family of 11 had a great time at the cabin for our reunion. Everyone loved the game room even the adults. We beat the high scores on Pac-Man and Galaga. The cabin was clean and stocked with everything we needed. We enjoyed spending time on the beach which was not far from cabin. Matt was very helpful.

We had a family reunion for the first time in the Poconos and had a great time. The house was very nice with a great play room downstairs which kept the kids happy and a great beach with a raft and a chance to dig holes.

A previously planned trip was cancelled which left our family looking for a new place to rest, relax, and enjoy some family time on short notice. We were able to find that here and we are so grateful that we could be accommodated with a short turn around time.
We cooked and grilled while we were there and the house had everything we needed. We loved that we could walk to the beach, pool, and canoe launch for some fun while having a place for quiet as well. Our kids love the basement and want to return for a movie night. We hope to return again!

Overall great experience & wonderful homeowners

I chose this property particularly for the game room given the uncertainty of the weather conditions and to ensure the kids had plenty of options to keep them busy. It thunderstormed when we arrived and a full day and evening during our stay so I made a good choice as the kids were quite satisfied to stay indoors. This place can easily sleep 3-4 families; so many room and sleeping options! The pool/lake area was a five minute drive and though crowded on Sat since it was the best day of the 4 days we spent here, the crowds were to be expected. Claws and Paws small zoo was only 10 minutes away and we spent only two hours of our trip there since it was so close. Overall a very nice trip!

Peaceful spot near the lake with enough amenities you almost don’t want to leave the cabin. Matt is a great host and helps you through the complex’s slightly tedious entry requirements. Overall a fantastic stay!

Really wished I rented it out for more day! There was more then what we expected. We didn’t really know where the pool or the lakes were at so we were spent the first days out of the community and when we finally found them we couldn’t enjoy it as much as we would of love too. But over all it was really nice. The kids loved the play area downstairs. Like I said I would of love to stay more days.

Quiet Kid Friendly Getaway at a GREAT PRICE, Bigger than it looks in pictures.
We said for 3 nights 4 days. We were a group of friends that was 4 families with mostly younger children. The kid ranges was 1-8 years old. First impressions was the house was bigger than it looked online. We never felt cramped even with 8 adults and 6 kids. The bed rooms were great. 3 families took the upstairs bedroom. The master bedroom was big enough for the family to fit a pack and play in for the 1 yr old. Some of the kids stayed in the bunkbed kid room and one set of adults slept in the basement on the sleeper sofa. The house had everything there for you. All we had to bring was food and pick up some firewood. It was nice the kids could play in the basement with all the fun things down there, while the adults just relaxed upstairs. The community the house is in is great as well. There was so much to do. It was chilly when we went so we didn't get to swim, but both the lake and pool areas look great. We did the mini golf and arcade up at the club house one day. There is a little zoo (Claws and Paws) that is a 5 minute drive from the house, which was amazing and the kids LOVED it. Two families went to Kalhari waterpark for the day and it was about a 40 minute drive from the house. The neighborhood was quiet as well, which was nice. Whispering woods held up to the name. Host was great and kept in communication with us. He was quick to respond to any questions we had prior to the trip. They even had a little smores kit welcome gift there when arrived. Overall would go back again.

Matt was an amazing host from start to finish. He was in constant contact if needed and went out of his way to provide area recommendations and make you feel at home. The house was beautifully updated and extremely clean. The house and area amenities were even better than expected. We cant wait to stay at Matt’s house again! Its a must stay!
