We had a perfect Thanksgiving stay at this Hideout home. The house was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed to prepare a full holiday dinner. It was the ideal, comfortable base for our family gathering.A major highlight was the kid-friendly clubhouse amenities. Our children loved the painting activities, pickleball, and the special Thanksgiving cookie decorating. The host was also wonderfully responsive and made the entire process seamless. We created great memories and highly recommend this property!

Lovely and charming home right on the lake. House had everything we needed with tons of activity related amenities for the lake and in the house. House is full of light. Clean with comfortable beds and lots of places to congregate inside and out. Host was easy to reach whenever we needed anything. We had 8 adults and there was plenty of room and bedrooms for all. This house would be great any time of year!

This house had it all it was perfect for our family Stay the kids enjoyed the arcade machines, and playing pool and jumping off the dock into the water while the adults enjoyed sitting around a fire or watching the sun come up from the deck while we enjoyed our coffee.We were able to use the kayaks and canoes for a short paddle to see two huge, bald eagle nests full of babies, and the two parents flying aroundWe arrived on July 4th and were treated to a spectacular fireworks display that evening.We enjoyed the day, renting a boat at the nearby lake. As well as a day at the claws and paws zoo right around the corner.There’s a grocery store right around the corner or if you prefer a little bit more shopping It’s about a half hour drive to Scranton.Owner was very friendly and very accommodating would absolutely return to this property again.

Lakefront Retreat

The house was clean and beautiful. It rained all week but 2 days so it was nice to have all of the games and the Karaoke machine. We had my parents who are in their high 80's so they had some trouble getting down the stairs to get to the back yard but there wasn't an issue with the property. If you do have elderly people just know that there are stairs and a good walk to the water. Over all we had a great stay.

We had a wonderful time! Due to the drought, the lake was too shallow to fish in, but thankfully there was nearby water that allowed us to fish. The house was great! Roomy and had lots of things to do/entertain us. The kid's room was great also. The home was very clean and up to date. We did not get to utilize the community center.

I can’t even begin describe how perfect this place was. The beds were comfortable. Amenities were plentiful. Tons of towels! There were so many activities to do and even when it rained for two days, we were never bored because we had ping pong and pool and karaoke. We fished, swam, and checked out the pool at the main lodge. We had 4 adults plus 7 kids with us (kids ranged from 6 to 16) annd everyone enjoyed themselves. I highly recommend this place and definitely plan to return next year.

A Good Time

Our family enjoyed our stay, no complaints. Just one observation, the ceiling fans and recessed lights were on the same switch and since it was a hot week, we decided not to turn them off until our last day. Maybe look into putting them on separate circuits.

Wonderful stay!

Stayed here for a family reunion and we had a wonderful time! The lake was beautiful and we enjoyed the equipment available to use on the water. The backyard was lovely with a nice fire pit and fun stuff for the kids. The community has a great little beach area with a pool that we went to almost every day. The community definitely feels very friendly and safe. It only rained one day and we decided to have a “house Olympics” with all the different games (pool, ping pong, etc) in the house and we had a blast! Also be sure to check out the art center where we were able to paint pottery. Grill and kitchen were great, we had everything we needed and beds were all comfortable. There was a heat wave at the start of the week so it was a little warm but it cooled down as the week went on. Overall fantastic time. Thank you!
