Great Birthday Celebration
We went to The Hideout to celebrate my mom’s 96th birthday and had a wonderful time! The house was perfect for the 7 of us. The host, Matt, checked in with us when we arrived to make sure everything was ok. Although we were all adults, the house is great for kids, too. The location is perfect and the amenities were just as described. We barbecued, hung out on the deck, explored the area and spent evenings all together in the cozy living room. It was so much fun and mom loved it.

Cozy cabin in the woods
Great property in a community with plenty of things to do. The game room was a hit with the kids. Owner communication was great and everything was ready and working when we arrived. Would definitely rent again. For a rather sizeable community, the house felt very secluded (in a good way) with lots of privacy.

We had a great weekend, and really enjoyed our stay. The kids LOVED the game room (Skeeball! Foozball! Billiards! Arcade Games! And a C64 Emulator?!!), the adults loved the firepit and the porch! The shared lake and pool was fantastic, very child friendly - a great getaway.

Memorial Day Weekend 2024
The house was very cozy and was a perfect layout for all of us to make meals and eat together inside or outside on the deck. We loved that we could watch movies or have a game night upstairs or downstairs. We played lots of ping pong and arcade games and appreciated the movie decor😊. The Hideout itself is a little challenging as it was crowded on the beach and in the pool area (a holiday weekend could be the reason) and the public safety officers take their responsibilities very seriously 🙄. But the location of the house is very tranquil and serene. And Matt was very attentive and helpful with providing lots of suggestions for what to do and where to go in the area. We will definitely consider staying here again.

Matt was a great host! Communication was easy and efficient. He also offered extra info for fun activities for the kids. The house was clean, very well stocked and the basement is a God send for kids on a rainy day! We felt at home from the start and had a blast even though it rained ALL day on Saturday.

Snow tubing vaca.
My children & grandchildren stayed at Whispering Woods for a 3 day snow tubing trip. The owner Matt was the most cordial person to deal with. He answered every question i had so fast I was truly impressed. He and his wife made several suggestions about activites in and around the community that myself and my grandkids might enjoy. The house had every th hing we could possibly need, all the way down to qtips in the bathrooms. Im very OCD and have a cleaning business and i tell you this place met my standards which are pretty high. The downstairs game room was awesome for the kids as well as myself. I haven't played Pack-man in over 40 yrs and it was so much fun. Im not as good at ping pong but still beat the little ones, lol. The Mickey room was a big hit for my grandson who informed me he was not coming home with us but was gonna live there forever with Mickey. Cant say enough about this place and the owners. Hoping to get back in the summer. Matt thanks again for mak im ng th his a wonderful holiday vacation my family will remember long after im gone! Annie

A previously planned trip was cancelled which left our family looking for a new place to rest, relax, and enjoy some family time on short notice. We were able to find that here and we are so grateful that we could be accommodated with a short turn around time. We cooked and grilled while we were there and the house had everything we needed. We loved that we could walk to the beach, pool, and canoe launch for some fun while having a place for quiet as well. Our kids love the basement and want to return for a movie night. We hope to return again!

Perfect property for multiple families!
I chose this property particularly for the game room given the uncertainty of the weather conditions and to ensure the kids had plenty of options to keep them busy. It thunderstormed when we arrived and a full day and evening during our stay so I made a good choice as the kids were quite satisfied to stay indoors. This place can easily sleep 3-4 families; so many room and sleeping options! The pool/lake area was a five minute drive and though crowded on Sat since it was the best day of the 4 days we spent here, the crowds were to be expected. Claws and Paws small zoo was only 10 minutes away and we spent only two hours of our trip there since it was so close. Overall a very nice trip!
