The Light Forest Chalet- minutes to beach, skiing and more!

The Light Forest Chalet is a 4 bedroom, 3 bath Chalet home in the NE Poconos lake region, about 2 hours from the George Washington Bridge. The home is in a private gated lake and amenity filled community called The Hideout, located in Lake Ariel, PA.

You may enter the chalet from both upper and lower levels. Upon entering the lower level you will encounter the game room which includes ping pong table, air hockey table, huge karaoke machine (Bluetooth) with 2 mics, and large smart tv, tons of board games, and two comfy couches. You will find a door leading to one of the master bedrooms with en-suite bathroom and TV.
Up the staircase you will be greeted by a beautiful open living/dining/kitchen area with huge windows and skylights, a gas fireplace, and a large walk out deck with bbq and table. Down the hallway you will find a full bathroom, 2 additional bedrooms, one with access to the huge private rear deck.
On the third floor landing you will find a large loft with amazing views of the chalets windows, with futon couch and desk/work space area. Adjacent to the loft is the main master bedroom with its own high up private deck, en-suite bathroom including large 2 person jacuzzi tub, stand up shower and electric heater to keep you warm and toasty when you exit the shower on those cold winter nights. The bedroom also has a skylight which will allow the sunlight to graze through in the mornings.

The chalet comfortable sleeps 12 guests max.

Important things to note:

• We are in a gated, private community with it's own security and requirements for renting. We realize this may be new to some travelers so we like to be as upfront about this as possible. The community requires info for ALL guests and vehicles that enter the community and stay at our property, and this is strictly enforced. This is not the house to rent if you are looking to have people come and go throughout your stay, or are hoping to squeeze in additional people, as we will be made aware and you will lose your security deposit. The fines for being in violation are steep and compromises our standing the community and ability to rent again in the future.
• In compliance with our HOA, we require a rental agreement to be signed at booking.
•All guests must be 25 & older unless accompanied by a parent/guardian. Up to 4 cars allowed in the driveway. There is no street parking.
