The space
Welcome to The Nest, a modern chalet tucked in the woods in The Hideout, an amenity-filled lake community in the Northern Poconos just two hours from NYC or Philadelphia.

With over 3,000 sq ft across three levels, the home blends Scandinavian simplicity, mid-century modern touches, and cozy mountain charm. Exposed beams, knotty pine walls, and multiple fireplaces create a warm retreat in every season.

The main level features a large fully equipped kitchen, dining space for gathering, and a spacious living room with fireside seating and a 65” TV.

Upstairs you’ll find a king suite among the treetops plus two queen bedrooms and a bathroom with a jetted soaking tub.

The recently renovated lower level includes a rec room with wood stove, convertible pool/ping pong table, TV lounge, king bedroom, and full bath.

Outside, enjoy two elevated decks, BBQ, outdoor dining, and lounge seating, with frequent wildlife sightings including deer and wild turkeys.

Guest access
Guests have access to the entire home and outdoor areas of the property. Some closets, cabinets, and storage spaces are marked “Admin Only” and are reserved for homeowner or maintenance use. These areas contain personal belongings and maintenance supplies and should remain closed during your stay.

Other things to note
The Nest is a fully equipped smart home with strong WiFi throughout the indoor and outdoor spaces.

Google Hub/Mini devices are located in the kitchen, both living areas, and all four bedrooms—use them to play music, check the weather, follow recipes, and more.

There are four TVs in the home. The main living room and lower level feature 65” TVs with cable service. All TVs include streaming apps such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, and Max. Please use the “Guest” profile when streaming.

Cell service can be limited in some areas of the community, so we recommend connecting to WiFi once you arrive.

Because the home is located in the woods, you may see wildlife such as deer, wild turkeys, and other animals during your stay.

Additional instructions for home systems can be found in Nest Notes.

You will need to pay an additional $5 cash for entry to the pools or beaches. If you need any additional guest badges, you may purchase them for $5 at the POA office located behind the main gate (valid for one week). The POA office hours of operation are: Tuesday to Saturday 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Holiday hours are reduced, please inquire if you will be joining us on a holiday and require guest passes.

Access to specific amenities, such as the pool, would require a pool pass sticker upon the amenity badge. The eight amenity badges in the home already have this. Specific amenity passes can be purchased for an additional fee by the Registration Department or at that particular amenity’s facility.

Hi! We’re a family of five native New Yorkers. We purchased our Poconos home in early 2019 as a peaceful escape from city life and have been thoughtfully updating it ever since while preserving its natural charm. While we can’t spend as much time here as we’d like these days, we love sharing our little sanctuary in the woods with guests and hope you enjoy the same sense of rest and relaxation that we do.
