About this property

🌞🌞🌞The Woodview at The Hideout with open floorplan and HUGE Gameroom!🌞🌞🌞

People that have stayed in homes at the Hideout repeatedly tell us that this is the nicest house they've ever stayed in. Upon arriving to the property you'll note the double sized lot for your added privacy. You'll also immediately see that the front deck spans the entire length of the house with plenty of space to spread out, cook on the propane grill, or just hang out with your family and friends (please note that there is a security camera on the front of the home facing the driveway and front yard). Resist the urge to sit down as you've only just arrived and still have a lot to see. Let's walk in through the screened in porch, where you'll find a table with seating for 6 and a ceiling fan for your comfort. We usually find ourselves hanging out in here during a rain storm and enjoying the beautiful fresh air that accompanies less-than-perfect weather, and a fresh layer of water on the trees and ground. In this porch area you'll find the main entrance with a keyless entry lock (code will be provided 48 hours before arrival). Punch in your digits and welcome to The Woodview!

Take a moment when you open the door to take in the expansive open floor plan which flows seamlessly from the dining area, with seating for 8, to the living room with super high vaulted ceilings and a propane fireplace, to the kitchen. The kitchen is fully equipped with utensils, pots and pans, coffee maker, blender, toaster, just about everything you'll need to whip up a full family sized feast, and, there's also a counter bar with seating for 4, for those quick bite meals. Again, no pitstops as we still have a lot to see. Turn around from the kitchen and you'll see the dining area that has a beautiful country style table big enough for that Thanksgiving feast and seating for up to 8, comfortably. Let's slide over to the living room where you'll see a brand new sofa and love seat, as well as a propane fireplace for those chilly nights and cool mornings. Also in this space is a flat panel tv which boasts a smart blu-ray player with dozens of movies, as well as smart app access so you can stream your favorite Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, and YouTube shows. Simply log in with your own account credentials and pull up your familiar lists (just remember to log out before you leave). Binge time!

But wait, there's more....also on the main level is an oversized master bedroom with king sized bed and a large sitting area that could double as an area for your crib or playpen (not provided) or an inflatable mattress (provided in the master closet). The room also has a large flat panel TV, A/C and access to the en-suite master bathroom that has a full shower and tub. The master bath also has separate access from the kitchen to ensure privacy for those staying in the master suite.

Let's keep it moving, so get comfortable, kick off your shoes, and grab a glass of wine (or coffee/tea) and let's head upstairs.

Back through the kitchen, around the corner and through living room, let's head up a flight of stairs where you'll arrive to the loft area that has a fantastic birds eye view of the main living space, the dining area and great views of the trees outside through the signature shaped front windows. In the loft you'll also find a super comfortable foldout futon (not an oxymoron, it really is comfortable!) for sleeping or just hanging out away from the rest of the home. There's also a comfy chair and a few books for you to just hang. This area also has access to the 2nd full bathroom (shower and tub), and 2 additional oversized bedrooms, both with flat panel HD tv's, A/C's and queen sized beds. Each room also has full closets and dressers as well as windows overlooking the back of the home with nice views of the woods.

Ok, back down to the main level, check your glass as you pass the kitchen area to see if you need a refill, and then let's head down a flight of stairs to the lower level game room.

You've now entered the game zone, where you'll find a full sized pool table, ping pong table and foosball table...surely the site of many a heated match with your friends and family. Also in the lower level you'll find another comfy foldout futon and flat panel HD TV so you can watch the game while playing the game. This level will surely entertain you and your group for hours on end. Loser does the dishes (just kidding, there's a dishwasher)! Also in the lower level, you'll find access to the back yard and the laundry room where we provide detergent and dryer sheets if you choose to do some laundry.

Plenty of other little details that we won't mention here, but they'll surely lead to a more comfortable and complete home-like experience. And here's the bonus: As we mentioned, we're located in the award winning, 4 season Hideout Community which comes with added perks! The Community enhances your enjoyment by providing excellent entertainment, and a host of amenities like golf, swimming (pools and lakes ), row boats, paddle boats, kayaks, tennis and so much more. There's also daily activities for the kids, an art center, clubhouse with more games, a gym, indoor tennis courts, fitness classes, and so much more! There's also basketball courts, outdoor tennis, fishing....really, it's too much to list. A few of these amenities bear a small daily use fee, usually under $5. You will not be bored, unless that's your goal, then feel free to veg out and just relax, we won't judge, we're just here to provide whatever you need to have the best experience possible.

Bottom line is, you'll see other homes in this community, but none that have thought of all the little details that we offer. You'll enjoy your stay in every way any season of the year.

Amazing Property and Overall experience

Absolutely recommend this property, all of the resounding reviews are accurate. So much to do around the Hideout and in the property itself. My friend group and I were properly pleased and pleasantly surprised with all of the amenities available within the house itself, there was not anything missed or needed. It was very clean and comfortable.The owners are helpful and so great to interact with and made our experience feel special and without any question unanswered.There are a lot of activities within driving distance outside of the property too!Definitely recommend for families and bonding friend time as we did.

From the moment we entered the property, we knew that this was going to be a great vacation. The home is very welcoming and is just as we expected. The property is very private and peaceful, which the adults enjoyed. And the expansive game room kept my 12 yr old grandchildren entertained the entire stay. We all had a great time and created new memories to look back on from years to come.

The absolute most amazing family vacation home

If there were more stars, we would give them. I usually can never fully relax in a hotel or anywhere away from my own home .... except here! This home is so beautiful, clean, organized, fully loaded with everythind you need to prepare and serve anything easily in the kitchen, have fun day and night/ inside and out. Our group had individuals of all activity levels and interests and ages - we were all happy all the time! The only bad thing Chris and Elina's home was having to leave!

Family Celebration

We stayed here with our 2 adult daughters, their spouses, and our 2 year old grandson. This was the perfect place for us to all meet up from different places, have the luxury of 3 floors of space, and wonderful outdoor space. We took advantage of the firepit for sure! For those who like to cook, the kitchen is nicely equipped: plenty of pots & pans, utensils, baking sheets, cutting boards, even a blender and waffle maker! The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. We all just loved the game room! A large space with so much to do! I can't say enough good things about the owners, Chris & Elina. We received detailed and helpful emails well before our arrival, and any questions we had were addressed immediately. We also took advantage of community amenities, taking pickleball lessons and then playing for an hour. The Lacawac Sanctuary was only 15 minutes away with some nice hiking trails. We highly recommend this home.

Great find with the most considerate hosts

Do you ever get to a house and spend a ridiculous amount of time finding which switch turns on which light? Well not here! The amazing hosts have thought of EVERYTHING to make your stay perfect and easy. From the wine and "cheese its" waiting upon entering to the labeling of every light switch to the iPhone charger stations by each bed..... it was impossible to want to leave. The hosts texted throughout the stay to make sure everything was going well, even giving us ideas of things to do last minute when the weather changed to rain. Their consideration and thoughtfulness made our stay simply perfect. Oh and by the way, the house itself is AMAZING. From the kitchen to the game room everything (including the shower pressure and water temp which to me are huge factors) was top of the line. Can't say enough good things about this house and the owners. If you need a perfect escape book NOW.

Only wish it was 2 weeks and not 1!

House was clean and beautiful! So many great memories were made with the kids. It was just what we needed. Also, being highly sensitive to smells I appreciate that this home seemed to use only natural products for cleaning. No weird smells and the temperature was always perfect thanks to the awesome ac units in every room. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything you would need. Even more so than my kitchen at home. Really, don't bring a thing! I appreciated the house manual that explained everything you would need to know about the home. DISCLAIMER: For work I am a process and workflow consultant so I get excited about these things lol. Some days we didn't leave the house. Just relaxed and enjoyed the amazing game room together. Most other days were spent at the main pool and beach. Family had another house down the street and ours was 1000 times better. This is the one!

About the host

Hosted by Chris & Elina

Host profile image
We're a family of four residing in NYC. We too were renters and know what it takes to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Why they chose this property

We rented this property for several summers. Since the first stay, we fell in love with the property and the way it was set up and appointed. When we found out it was up for sale we could not let it go to someone else and immediately snapped it off the market. We've made so many memories in this home and we're extremely confident that you will too!

What makes this property unique

Situated on a double sized lot, we have more privacy than most of the homes within the community. The house has an updated, country contemporary feel with a HUGE gameroom on the lower level. It also has many of the comforts you'd find in your full time home like air conditioning and high speed wifi.

If that wasn't enough, this unique home is located within the award winning Hideout Community that offers so many amenities.
