5 bedroom 3 bath Poconos retreat, near lakes, tennis, golf, skiing, rec center

Welcome to our Poconos Cabin, the 'North Star'. As the owners of this renovated and updated, 5 star vacation rental, we are so excited to spend time in this beautiful community and to welcome new guests to our cabin! We named it the North Star because of the feeling we get when we stay here: of tranquility, serenity, and how it helps us find our bearings: like the north star guiding sailors home.

The cabin is located near the recreation center and golf course in a quiet part the amenity rich Hideout Community. It is minutes from Lake Wallenpaupack, the historic towns of Hawley and Honesdale, offering quaint shops and dining options to explore. Plus, the Poconos' natural beauty is right at your doorstep, making it a great place to relax and enjoy all that the Poconos has to offer.
