We stayed at the property as an extended Christmas weekend so that all 15 of us were in one place. The layout worked great, we had ages 1 year to 77 years. Also having 3 levels was great as people seemed to move around the house. Any questions were answered very quickly.

This place reminded me of home away from home very charming place lots to do game room was a huge hit with all ages. We especially loved the huge family table inside the side porch for meals and family game nights to bring us all together. The fire pit put back accompanied by horseshoes and mini golf was a huge hit as well. Check in was so easy and reaching the homeowners was easy and they always got back in a timely manner I wish I could give them more than 5 stars for that. Very amazing place I must say

The property was perfect for our two families. The children loved all the games and mini golf. We enjoyed every aspect of the house. From fire pit nights, relaxing on the front porch, and family dinners in the sunroom. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Fun Times at Willows Place in the Poconos

Even better than advertised. Numerous things to do on the home's property and within the community it sits in. Only one hour from Scranton and countless waterfalls and hiking trails. All ages from 2 to 67 said it was one of the best home rentals we have vacationed at.Manager and owner were both prompt at returning texts with useful info and responses. A

Everything about the stay worked very well. We were comfortable and had a special time. It was a very nice place with many features, kitchen needs, and other necessary amenities provided. Communication with owner/property managers was highly responsive and very helpful. Our only item of note that could be improved is likely beyond the control of the owner and property manager who were just great. However, the attitude and ease of managing getting gate passes for guests and visitors was time-consuming and frustrating for some of our party. Patience is required. All-in-all, everything was managed and we all had a wonderful time. We would stay again when the circumstances put us back in the area.

Poconos trip

Overall this was a great house to stay in. It was the perfect sized for our group and having the pool table in the basement was a big plus. We did not get to chance to use any of the other amenities that the Hideout had to offer but this was a great house and I would recommend it to anyone looking to stay in Lake Ariel.

Wonderful college reunion spot!

We had 5 couples staying in this home for a semi-college reunion. The house had everything we wanted and the sun room was a perfect spot for us to have a “friendsgiving” all together at one table. The hideout community felt very safe as well and was easy to find and check into. The fireplace was a fun addition and really made the home feel extra cozy.

Wonderful Vacation Spot

The home is lovely, very clean, so much room, very comfortable beds and furniture! The check in was super quick and easy, and the young woman at the desk was very friendly. The community was very quiet and peaceful. The owners have made sure you have everything you need from a coffee bar, grill, fire pit, and endless entertainment for the kids! The mini golf, arcade games and so much more, kept them busy and happy for sure! We loved sitting on the deck for morning coffee and the screened in porch with the long dining table was perfect every evening for dinner. There were 6 adults and 2 children in our group and we had more than enough room for everyone to enjoy. We went to the lake/beach & pool every morning (guest passes included) and used the kayaks, canoes and petal boat every afternoon! The owner was very nice, and answered any questions right away. You can’t go wrong with booking your stay at Willow’s Way!

Family Reunion

We had a family reunion and this was the perfect spot to have everyone together. We grew up going to the Hideout every year as kids and made unforgettable memories, and as adults, it was just as amazing. This house allowed everyone to be comfortable and play games in the side room altogether at night. Thank you to the owners for a fabulous, care-free experience.

This was such a great house for our girls weekend. Check in process with the home owner was so smooth. House felt clean, safe, and you can tell the owner puts great care into her guests. Such good communication. You feel like you are in the middle of the woods. The lake is beautiful! Highly recommend this spot. The only snafoo is that gate check in process was pretty strick so make sure your registration isn't expired!!
