Are you looking for a year-round Poconos hideout?
Then you really should consider this Lake Ariel lakeside contemporary house for sale.
One reason why: It happens to be located in The Hideout. This gated community upstream from Lake Wallenpaupack in Pike County has a plethora of amenities and activities that offer ways to enjoy all four seasons, including its own ski hill and lodge, a nine-hole golf course, tennis and basketball courts, a recreation center, an art gallery, a campground, parks, pools, beaches and more.
This house sits on the shore of the largest of The Hideout’s three lakes, the 198-acre Roamingwood Lake. It also sits right across Lakewood Court from the Tiki Bar, one of several restaurants The Hideout offers, and one of the Hideout’s beaches. And the ski hill and lodge are also not far away.

Steps lead down the sloping backyard from the patio to the boat dock. You’ll note that the dock is surrounded by another sizable deck, making it possible to entertain guests right on the water.
