Large 4+ bed, 3 bath NEW w/Game Room, pool table, poker table & 8 TVs IN Hideout

Great family house. Great community. Lots of amenities.

Needed a nice convenient place to stay for the week for work. Place was perfect location for us. The house is great with lots of Amenities. Communication with the owner was fantastic. Would definitely come back and recommend to anyone.

This is a very nice place to rent. We stayed there to go to Montage Mountain. Everything was exactly the way it was described. Great communication from the owner.

Nice location, closeby to many desirable attractions. Safe neighborhood. Very comfy beds, tons of beds!!

Short answer-we stayed here for 5 nights and really loved the house and location. Long answer- we stayed during Covid so obviously some things were closed. John is good at communicating, but there is some upfront documentation that makes renting slightly more complicated than a typical place- this includes not guaranteeing anything outside the home (firepit, hot tub). The smart home functionality is well-intended but temperature control isn't as easy as it could be. Overall I would recommend!

Overall, good stay. Plenty of space, stuff to do. Community has alot to do too. Hot tub is a separate rental fee (is stated in details).

Beautiful home for a winter getaway.

Johnny's Love Shack has lots of potential. His place is a excellent size on a well maintained lot compared to some of the other properties. The community is very nice, and I really enjoyed the 9 hole golf course and lake. But do yourself a favor, read this before you rent and maybe look at renting a different house! In regards to the house, lets just say it feels like a rental. Everything is locked up to include the thermostats and laundry. Make sure you read the fine print. If you want to use the washer it will cost quite a bit extra. I stayed a full week and made the assumption that a house that size for the price He charges would include the use of the washer and dryer. Johnny has all kinds of technology for the ac / heat, problem is, it didn't work properly the first few days and to be honest I'd like to be able to control the heat or ac. Instead I have to call him on the phone to make adjustments if the desired setting are not to your liking, no kidding!! The pool table was nice and we enjoyed that, but the dart board did not work as all the darts were old and it was non functional. The TV's were hard to work and only had a few channels on cable. You can't check in until I 5PM and you have to be out by 10am. Not sure why they need so much time to clean the house because it didn't look all that clean and the floor was so sticky it reminded me of my college days. He advised it was due to the cleaner needed for disinfecting. Yeah, right. Then if you like privacy forget it. He has cameras everywhere. Even one directly over top of the outdoor hot tub! How creepy is that! He had a fire pit and grill on the deck but only one propane tank so I had to keep moving it back and forth. If anything is missing he blames it on the renters and says he is tired of replacing things. The final thing that got me was I left an expensive bike helmet at the house. I asked him if he could ship it back and I would pay the cost for shipping. He told me he would have to charge me an additional $25 for labor to pay the cleaning service to take care of this matter. Really!! Apparently Johnny doesn't believe in customer service. I have rented house of this size many times in the past. This is the first time I have ever come across something like all of this. So if any of this resonates with you, do yourself a favor and keep looking for another property to rent!!

Had all the amenities you want in short term rental. Large communal kitchen/ living space, outdoor deck, multiple grills, game room, hot tub, etc. Close to several restaurants and grocery store. Close to lake Wallenpaupack, hiking trails, other Poconos attractions, not to mention plenty of amenities within the community.

I booked this trip for a long relaxing weekend for my birthday it was anything but that. First off, John advertised his property as having A/C, washer dryer, jacuzzi, pool none of this is true. (He has since updated his listing but please note you will be hit with additional fees after booking.) Everything is for an outrageous additional fee. I paid ridiculous amount for AC for basically 2.5 days, (more than what i pay for a month in NY) and he wouldn't allow me to control it, that would be an additional outrageous fee so we were freezing at night and had no control over the AC after paying extra for something that was advertised as free. The washer/dryer is an additional fee, the jacuzzi is an additional fee, the pool is a community pool and it so over crowded and the lake is pretty much packed and gross. You pay a cleaning fee but when you read his close out rules you basically have to clean the entire place yourself, including wiping the bathroom mirrors, cleaning all the appliances, inside the microwave, wiping all the counters, check out is so early that your last day will be a very hectic morning. He advertises 7 TV and none of them aside from one was working properly. When I messaged him he said he is NOT and IT service. My group is very tech savvy and these TV were not working. The neighbors on all sides were so close, and since there are no fences separating the properties there was no privacy. There is a fine for basically everything in the neighborhood. The trash disposal alone was a gross hassle. Check in was 4:30 and he tried to push it to 5 and told me not to even go through the gates until 5. All the unreasonable additional fee add up and your better off renting place that has the amenities included. I am still in a back and forth with him about my additional AC fee that at the time was NOT advertised and he tried to tell me i want money off for a good review which is not the case since i already submitted this review before anything. is settled. I'm not sure it will be since he notified me and said he will no longer respond to me. So basically this. is just a heads up for anyone who rents this place, the host is NOT a good person and you will be bombarded with additional fees and no help.
