    So I love the house I feel like it just wasn’t perfect for me and my family. I didn’t realize how much I hated a lot of of the stairs and the house was very cut up so we felt very separate from where the kids were hanging out. I think next time I would go with something that’s more open floor plan but if you like separation, this is the perfect house for you! The basement was a little chilly where the kids were hanging out, but they were fine down there. I didn’t love the sounds of the heating system on the walls. They were noisy. We were able to cook a beautiful Thanksgiving dinner big table. there’s a quickie mart very close so if you forget anything, they literally have everything nearby less than seven minutes. Hideout is nice but in fall not much to do but walk around. Getting rid of garbage is a little bit of a hassle. Must keep it in the outside room until leaving or make intermittent trips to the dumping area. All in all great house. Fireplace was lovely. We kept that going the entire weekend. So great.

    We had an excellent family vacation here. The house was just as described & pictured. It was clean, cozy, & kitchen well stocked. We enjoyed the propane fire pit on the porch every night. It was nice to be able to start and put out the fire quickly and not smell of smoke like a traditional fire pit, but that's also available at the house. The house is not lakefront, but it is a short walk to many of the amenities. There is a creek with picnic tables that empties into the lake where you can fish and launch a kayak/paddleboard. The main beach, pool, restaurant & tiki bar (bring the right badge to buy alcohol), & pickle ball courts are also a close walk. At the art center we did a paint-your-own pottery which was fun. We enjoyed golfing a couple of times at the 9-hole course on the North side. We loved the North side pool & pickle ball courts because although we had to drive to them, they were less crowded. We would definitely rent here again. A couple of tips for new renters: - Linens are provided at a fee, which we did and appreciated. However, it only included one towel and one washcloth per person. I am glad I brought our beach towels for the pool and lake or this would have been very challenging. So bring your own beach towels. - Luckily we called a couple weeks before our stay to inquire about golf & found out advance reservations are required. There is an additional fee (which is not expensive). So make sure to book your golf in advance. This is a great home 10/10!

    Property was very clean inside and out. Interior decorating was top notch which gave it the true vacation home feel. Activities provided at the home were perfect for our teens to keep busy. Kitchen was well equipped to handle our family of 4. Neighborhood was quiet and location was perfect to walk the dog around the block. Be prepared to walk up and down a lot of steps here though as the living space is on the second floor. This was as expected but was hard work loading and unloading on arrival/departure.

    My family and I really enjoyed our stay here this past Fourth of July. The house itself is spacious and the decorations around the house were very cute. The kitchen was throughly stocked with plenty of seasonings and even candy for the kids. There were also plenty of fun little games on the first floor for a rainy day. There were many fun amenities around the development, plenty of pools and beaches nearby to bring the whole family. Additionally if you are interested in fishing the house is quite close to Lake Wallenpaupack, only 20 minutes away. Overall the house was very relaxing and we throughly enjoyed our stay. My only complaints would be some areas being quite tight such as the staircase on the first floor, however my family typically used the outside staircase instead. Additionally the driveway was a bit smaller than I would have thought and fitting a truck, Suv and a boat was a tight fit.

    We stayed for a long weekend in February to ski at Elk Mountain. Everything about the Bluebird Hideaway is cozy! You can tell the owners take pride in their home and want you to have a great stay. We've stayed at several pet-friendly homes in the Hideout, Bluebird Hideaway is our favorite. Pros: Tons to do, pool table, dart board, games etc The kitchen is loaded with everything you'll need and a great coffee maker. 3 full bathrooms! Easy access to a washer and dryer. Everything is super clean and well taken care of. Cons: we weren't fans of the shower in the large jacuzzi tub difficult to get in / out. The downstairs fireplace was very aesthetic but wasn't working. The pros far outweigh any cons and we would recommend Bluebird Hideway to friends and family. We hope to plan a return stay soon!

    We were here in November so could not utilize the decks (very cold). But over all, the house had everything we needed for our stay. Stairs in house are quite steep and narrow, so take them slow. Would not recommend for elderly. Beds were comfortable. 4-season porch is nice for game night!
