A Week in the Poconos
It was nice gated community with access to a beach and a pool. Plenty of stuff for the grand kids to enjoy. The house was very nice. We stayed for a week and wished we could have stayed longer.

Wonderful getaway in the Poconos
Wonderful cabin in the woods with lots of amenities. The listing was exactly what was delivered and we all enjoyed ourselves. Our host, was available immediately for the very few questions we had. The basement was awesome - every kind of game along with ping pong, Pac Man (our fav) and air hockey. Hot tub was also enjoyed. Highly recommend!

Perfect Getaway
This property was great for a long getaway. Very clean inside (and outside), and enough space to not be on top of each other. Daniela was very responsive to all our questions, maybe the fastest and most detailed of any properties I have rented through VRBO. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for peace, and quiet, in the Poconos.

Name fits perfect
Host was great to deal with and communication was quick. Very relaxing community. Has everything included which is a great plus saving trips to get necessities. House aas very clean and relaxing. Felt like you were actually at home instead of strange place. While cooking on grill outdoors, mother deer and her 2 babies came walking up to me about 10 feet away and just stayed there eating. Wish there was some kind of saw to cut wood for outdoor firepit but thats only minor. Will bring something to split wood next trip we make to here. Would definitely reccomend this place and plan on coming back in the future.

Great stay!
Daniela was very attentive and helpful during the process. The kids loved the playroom atmosphere in the basement and the projector screen in the living space. We enjoyed daily use of the pool and lake as well as trips to the golf course. The neighborhood was a good fit for families with little children especially.

Great place for multiple families!
This home was way beyond our needs and we were super happy to stay there. We were a 2 family group with a bunch of teenagers and we had plenty of space. My kids loved the hot tub and especially the Ms. PacMan machine. Beds were super comfy, sheets and towels were provided, it was a perfect location. Great communication. We truly enjoyed our stay. Recommend to anyone looking for a vacation house

Awesome stay with great home owners!
Me and my friends loved this property, very spacious, a lot of fun activities to do while you're in the house, projector was great to watch movies on with big group. If I am going to need a place to stay around the area, I would definitely come here again. The new AC system that the homeowner put in was great and kept the rooms very cold.

Great half-way meeting place
Four of us from Ohio met up with two friends from New Hampshire exactly half way for all. This house is all it was described; wonderful accommodations and great location within The Hideout. We were slightly disappoint that so many things were closed during the last week of Aug., but we still enjoyed the property and the surrounding area. We would rent this house again.

Friends weekend
We really enjoyed our stay at Daniela’s place and it was perfect for our group of 9. We loved our time at the lake and evenings around the fire pit and in the hot tub. Our kids all loved the game room. Daniela was great to work with and I definitely recommend this as a place to stay for your next getaway. Thanks!

Lovely retreat for family gathering
Our family of 5 stayed over the Thanksgiving holiday and we had a lovely time. The house is as described on the website. We found the game room very pleasant and very well maintained. Our kids played a lot of ping pong and air hockey. The living room with the projector is very cosy and the bedrooms are very quiet. The owner was very responsive to any questions we had. All in all a great property. I would recommend it to anyone who would like a nice gateway.
