House was filthy and cluttered. Could not open doors or windows missing or broken screens. Bug infested. We left early as it was unlivable. Would not have Ben use the dishes. Used paper plates we bought the whole time. House is nit what the listing shows. Never had a problem wit VRBO but this was an AWFUL experience. Would suggest you not list this for others as is
The house was roomy, well equipped with a gorgeous view. This was the perfect place to get my family all together under one roof to have fun and make great memories! Thank you Wendy!
This home is in a great location on a lake with a beautiful view. The house is large and has the bones to be a great stay BUT.....we came as a group of ten. There is supposed to be enough supplies for 10 people to stay! We came for Thanksgiving, it was cold and there were not enough blankets for every bed! How is that okay? The sofa bed was broken and the mattresses in half of the rooms were uncomfortable with barely enough cushion to cover the springs. The dining room chairs were broken and extremely uncomfortable. Overall the house just needed some attention. I could go on but we enjoyed ourselves and made do. The location was great which was the biggest redeeming factor. The owners need to put some thought into the basic necessities of the home and could make their place a fabulous place to spend the holidays.
We had a wonderful time. The property, the view, the area....all beautiful. Great hiking. We loved the fire pit at the water. We used it every night. We were able to get out on the water in the kayaks. You can't beat October in the Poconos.
Had the whole family together for a long weekend. Perfect spot for us. Really enjoyed the fire pit! Used the kayaks and paddle board as well.
The experience was just as expected.
The lake house is within a community so there are lots of amenities. There’s lots of hike trails near by and restaurants. The house also has kayaks for on the lake fun a deck and fire pit outside. There’s lots to do and the house is clean with all the appliances you’ll need.
This is not the first time we stayed and it won't be the last!
We loved our weekend stay in The Hideout! So much to do on and around the lake, as well as in the community. The home was very clean and well organized. All the guests were more than comfortable and very appreciative of the homeowner renting out their home. Highly recommend to all ages, families, and any who can respect the many lovely neighbors in the area.
We stayed 3 18+ biys and two couples in the house 4 days during the week. Wendy was very responsive and che kin and out was a breeze. The lake us great and in a quiet cove at least during the week. The house has a well stocked kitchen which is a huge binus that I look for. It was 90+ degrees all week but in the afternoons in the shade with a breeze ut was manageable. With the ceiling fan and portable ac the living space stayed cool, ut the bedrooms did get warm. The master sweet being a loft made for some great views
They need to address the mildew smell in the basement. The home and property are beautiful. Plenty of beds, and furniture. Even the outside was furnished well with a very nice grill. Having Kayaks, paddleboard, dock, games, ext. available really added to the activities for the whole family. I would highly recommend the property.
The property is located in a nice gated community and is located waterfront. The house itself is in need of repair and updated ammentities on the listing. The biggest issue for us was that the downstairs was completely unusable, as the mildew smell was unbearable. There were 4 unoperating dehumidifiers down there. The second issue was that each bathroom had broken holders (toilet paper holder / towel racks) that have been ripped out of the wall by previous guests, but pushed back in. These need to be removed and re-anchored into the wall, as they are hardly functional. Thirdly, amenities list baby gates and a baby monitor. There were no baby gates to be found on the property, and once inquired about, was told that they aren't in the listing. I went back and confirmed that baby gates are in fact listed under amenities. The baby monitor was not functional as well. The air conditioning issue was also not addressed. I specifically asked in May when I booked the property if the A/C and Humidity issues in previous reviews was addressed and repaired and I was assured that they were... well... they weren't. I recieved an apology on my second day about a maintenance man who was unable to get out there to fix the A/C. The days were definitely stuffy in the house and didn't cool down until after 9pm. Also - there appears to be a bullet hole (.22) in the window above the sink. The screen on the side door is also ripped out. All in all, I do not want to make it sound like we had a bad time, but luckily for the managers/owners we are an easy going bunch. I can definitely see a more detail oriented family giving problems over these issues, especially if a need for a baby gate. We had a fun time on the property otherwise and the community is well kept. The kids had a blast at the pool and beach. Hopefully this feedback is reviewed and the owner/ property manager can do a deep dive inspection on the property to get it back up to scuff.
It was the best vacation we've ever had… I can't wait to have another wonderful experience again… Thank you Wendy!
