Communication with property manager was amazing throughout the entire stay for random questions. The property was really well kept and easy to navigate around the house. Two minute drive to the amenities. I would recommend this property
Nice clean property with lots of amenities included which you donât usually get in a rental (soap, q-tips, firewood, smores, etc). Plenty of space for family to spread out with multiple decks and indoor living spaces). We would go back!
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.
We were visiting relatives in The Hideout and they had just moved in. Ironically this house was right in back of them so it was a perfect location for us. The ability to bring our pups was huge and the house was very dog friendly. It was comfortable and very clean. They had a lot of snacks and games that kept us very busy. It was a rainy weekend but luckily this house had everything we needed.
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 really liked our stay! The property was clean and there were several spaces for hanging out (with carpeting) including the finished basement and the nice downstairs bathrooms. The gas grill hooked up to a large tank out back made it easy for grilling. The close proximity to the pool/lake was great! The house did not provide beach towels in the linens/towels package which was inconvenient (we ended up having to buy them at the store). The other thing of note is the staircases inside are steep for both older people and young children and the balcony inside is not fully boarded so we had to keep a close eye on our toddler. There are several nice places to travel in the complex including the playgrounds/fields, the other pool/playground at the north end, and the petting zoo near Hamlin.
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!
This is our 4th time renting different houses at The Hideout and this has been our favorite! Most houses provide the basic things (dishes, paper towels, pots & pans, etc...) but this house had that and more. They had plenty of paper towels, trash bags, spices and everything you could possibly need in the kitchen. They also had a wonderful welcome basket of yummy snacks to welcome us. For a house that allowed pets, the place was spotless and didn't smell like febreeze trying to cover any odors. The owner and rental agent was very responsive in a timely manner with any questions we had. My ONLY wish is that this house only allows 6 people when I think it could accommodate 8. That would be the only thing that would prevent us from returning if we wanted to come back with another family that had more kids. Otherwise, this house is a perfect getaway and I would highly recommend!
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!
A beautiful cozy home to build unforgettable memories
We had a beautiful time and we felt at home. From the check in to any questions we had it was answered quickly. The home was so beautiful and clean and you felt the amazing good vibes walking inside home. The owners thought of anything you may have forgotten they had you. Winery was close by even Walmart and ski area. Neighborhood is so quiet we even got to see deerâs at the backyard the girls enjoyed. Owner left sâmores, goodies and beautiful Christmas decor for the family thank you so much we definitely will be returning in the summer this time. Thank you for our unforgettable Christmas getaway from the city â„ïž
The house was roomy and beautifully decorated. With permission we were able to host Thanksgiving for family that live in same area. Thank you Karen! Good chance we will rent again in the future.
My wife and I stayed here with our 1 year old for a few days in the middle of summer and had a great time. We loved the community and the surrounding area and really enjoyed our time in the house. Everything is well laid out and there is plenty of space. Things are clearly labeled to make your stay even easier (if you've ever stayed in a rental where the switches aren't labeled and you have no idea how to turn things on and off you know what I'm talking about). The only thing I would note is that if you are clumsy like I am, be careful on the stairs to the top floor, they are short and you could easily take a tumble if you're not paying attention. But otherwise we had an amazing time and would definitely stay here again or recommend it to friends and family.
Cute house in a convenient location. We enjoyed hanging out in the sunroom and on the deck, and appreciated all of the Hideout amenities. Even saw some deer in the yard!

The house is comfy, cozy and unique with a Blue Bird theme. The house is located close to the main beach and pool it's about a half mile to Roamingwood lake in Lake Ariel Pennsylvania. It is located in a great welcoming community called The Hideout. The Hideout is a 5 star all season community with lots of wonderful amenities to offer.
