Great house, great spot
Short answer-we stayed here for 5 nights and really loved the house and location. Long answer- we stayed during Covid so obviously some things were closed. John is good at communicating, but there is some upfront documentation that makes renting slightly more complicated than a typical place- this includes not guaranteeing anything outside the home (firepit, hot tub). The smart home functionality is well-intended but temperature control isn't as easy as it could be. Overall I would recommend!

Johnny's Love Shack has lots of potential. His place is a excellent size on a well maintained lot compared to some of the other properties. The community is very nice, and I really enjoyed the 9 hole golf course and lake. But do yourself a favor, read this before you rent and maybe look at renting a different house!
In regards to the house, lets just say it feels like a rental. Everything is locked up to include the thermostats and laundry. Make sure you read the fine print. If you want to use the washer it will cost quite a bit extra. I stayed a full week and made the assumption that a house that size for the price He charges would include the use of the washer and dryer. Johnny has all kinds of technology for the ac / heat, problem is, it didn't work properly the first few days and to be honest I'd like to be able to control the heat or ac. Instead I have to call him on the phone to make adjustments if the desired setting are not to your liking, no kidding!! The pool table was nice and we enjoyed that, but the dart board did not work as all the darts were old and it was non functional. The TV's were hard to work and only had a few channels on cable. You can't check in until I 5PM and you have to be out by 10am. Not sure why they need so much time to clean the house because it didn't look all that clean and the floor was so sticky it reminded me of my college days. He advised it was due to the cleaner needed for disinfecting. Yeah, right.
Then if you like privacy forget it. He has cameras everywhere. Even one directly over top of the outdoor hot tub! How creepy is that! He had a fire pit and grill on the deck but only one propane tank so I had to keep moving it back and forth. If anything is missing he blames it on the renters and says he is tired of replacing things.
The final thing that got me was I left an expensive bike helmet at the house. I asked him if he could ship it back and I would pay the cost for shipping. He told me he would have to charge me an additional $25 for labor to pay the cleaning service to take care of this matter. Really!! Apparently Johnny doesn't believe in customer service.
I have rented house of this size many times in the past. This is the first time I have ever come across something like all of this.
So if any of this resonates with you, do yourself a favor and keep looking for another property to rent!!

Great place to stay in the Poconos!
Had all the amenities you want in short term rental. Large communal kitchen/ living space, outdoor deck, multiple grills, game room, hot tub, etc. Close to several restaurants and grocery store. Close to lake Wallenpaupack, hiking trails, other Poconos attractions, not to mention plenty of amenities within the community.

I booked this trip for a long relaxing weekend for my birthday it was anything but that. First off, John advertised his property as having A/C, washer dryer, jacuzzi, pool none of this is true. (He has since updated his listing but please note you will be hit with additional fees after booking.) Everything is for an outrageous additional fee. I paid ridiculous amount for AC for basically 2.5 days, (more than what i pay for a month in NY) and he wouldn't allow me to control it, that would be an additional outrageous fee so we were freezing at night and had no control over the AC after paying extra for something that was advertised as free. The washer/dryer is an additional fee, the jacuzzi is an additional fee, the pool is a community pool and it so over crowded and the lake is pretty much packed and gross. You pay a cleaning fee but when you read his close out rules you basically have to clean the entire place yourself, including wiping the bathroom mirrors, cleaning all the appliances, inside the microwave, wiping all the counters, check out is so early that your last day will be a very hectic morning. He advertises 7 TV and none of them aside from one was working properly. When I messaged him he said he is NOT and IT service. My group is very tech savvy and these TV were not working. The neighbors on all sides were so close, and since there are no fences separating the properties there was no privacy. There is a fine for basically everything in the neighborhood. The trash disposal alone was a gross hassle. Check in was 4:30 and he tried to push it to 5 and told me not to even go through the gates until 5. All the unreasonable additional fee add up and your better off renting place that has the amenities included. I am still in a back and forth with him about my additional AC fee that at the time was NOT advertised and he tried to tell me i want money off for a good review which is not the case since i already submitted this review before anything. is settled. I'm not sure it will be since he notified me and said he will no longer respond to me. So basically this. is just a heads up for anyone who rents this place, the host is NOT a good person and you will be bombarded with additional fees and no help.

Perfect Getaway
My husband and I stayed in the Poconos location from August 31-September 3rd. The space was large, spacious, well decorated and newly renovated. The best part of the house was the great game room (my husband loved it!). The house is near a great shopping center, supermarkets and downtown. Johnny provided great move-in instructions and was responsive throughout our stay. The house was very clean and well kept. Couldn't ask for anything more!

-home away from home
this was a great spot and location. we didn't get to do much because of weather that weekend but we made the best of it and the house felt like home. Definitely recommend anyone who want to get away for the week/weekend with friends and family.

Awesome Weekend!
Stayed here with a group of 10 people. The house was immaculate, very spacious, and has everything you need. The driveway has enough space to park several large vehicles, the basketball court was awesome, and the porch had enough seating for 10-15 people. The house itself is in a very nice area, and there is a small convenient store just outside the community for anything you may need last minute. The dining room space was also nice, with a table that seats 10 next to a smaller table that seats 6. This house also has smart TVs everywhere, which was perfect for movie night. The game room was also an awesome addition. It had a poker table, pool table, foosball table, plastic darts, and a Wii in the den next to the game room. Overall, this house exceeded our expectations by a lot. We rent every year from different areas in the Poconos, and this is by far the nicest house we stayed at. Definitely would consider renting again for our annual trip!

Comfortable, clean, excellent Poconos getaway
We enjoyed a terrific week at John's house in the Hideout. While we could relax as much as we wanted - chill on the deck, watch tv on any of the many flat screen tvs complete with access to Netflix and Amazon - we had so many opportunities to be active. The beach and main pool were not overly crowded and tons of fun for the kids. The pool table and basketball court at the house were a huge hit, and the house is located close to a wide variety of activities. We went on a treetop adventure and zip line course, played mini-golf, spent the day on a boat on Lake Wallenpaupack, and visited the nearby Claws & Paws - all were within a 30 minute drive. Back at the house, we enjoyed cooking dinner or bringing takeout back home. The kitchen had everything needed to cook a great meal. We would have stayed another week! Only complaint... pool chalk needed to be replaced :-)

Beautiful, clean house with plenty of space!
Stayed here for a long weekend with close friends and family (7 of us in total in our 30s). The house was beautiful, well-kept, and we had plenty of room to spread out with room to spare. John is very easy-going, helpful, and great to rent from. The house itself has a ton of entertainment value. We loved the game room and the fireplace. Had a blast grilling and cooking together! Definitely will look to rent here again in the future!
Thanks!

Great house, so relaxing!
Hello John,
Everything was great! Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at your wonderful house! We had four teenagers and they were never bored! With the pool table, foosball, game system, basketball hoop, card table and dartboard, they were able to pair up and have fun, and that is when we weren't at the beach!! We had a great time, and hope to come again, only for a longer stay.
We had wildlife in sight everyday from the deck!
On a side note, I have to tell you about this. Your neighbor across the road, with the red Dodge truck, I may have saved him from further damage to his truck. A turkey walked across the street and walked by his truck, saw his reflection I'm guessing and started pecking the truck!! I was cracking up, because he kept walking back and forth, pecking the truck. I could hear it hitting the chrome bumper, the red paint and the rims. I was sitting on the deck drinking coffee and walked over and tried to chase him, without scaring him.

Something for everyone!
My children and I really enjoyed this home! Their ages range from 9 to 21 and there was something for everyone! They are very active and between the bikes, basketball, pool, movies, fire pit and community amenities, they were all busy and happy all the time. There is also a horseback riding stable right down the street. We brought 4 of my children's friends so I was cooking for 8, the kitchen was very well equipped and the seating indoor and out was great!

Best winter escape short of jumping on a plane!!!!
short of jumping on a plane and incurring a bunch of costs... I had the pleasue of spending an overnight at Mr. Lydon's home. From the play room and the auto fireplace, to the jacuzzi which is already heated and constantly running to the spacious open living room everything is as you would only hope and imagine in a winter vacation home. The game room is the ultimate man and children's cave. The place is impeccably spotless. I only wish I had more time to spend there but I only look forward to my next visit in the spring or summer and play baeketball on the court he set up there and visit the lical lakes and go boating. thx Mr Lydon for an amzing place... all the best

Perfect Family Getaway
Upon arriving and walking into the house, I knew I rented the right place. Clean, spotless and fun house was perfect for my wife, three sons and me. The kids enjoyed stomping through the woods in the back, playing basketball on the blacktop driveway and of course the basement gameroom. Plenty of room in the kitchen with a great flow to the dining and living room areas. Perfect for family meals after being out all day enjoying the Hideout amenities. Beaches, pools and row boating on the lake kept us busy. The people at the Hideout, from the security/safety people to the lifeguards, were all pleasant and very approachable. Renting from Johnny was as easy as could be. Prompt responses to any questions I had prior to the trip and reachable if need be during the trip. I will definitely be renting again. Thanks Johnny.

I want to go back!
This is the perfect house for a week/weekend getaway with family or friends. First off, the game room downstairs is awesome! Pool table, poker table, foosball, Wii & my personal favorite the gumball machine! There are so many activities to do rain or shine! My family and I took a bike ride around the neighborhood (several bikes are provided by the owner) which was a great workout because of all the hills. We rode to the clubhouse where there is a pool and tennis court along with golf. We didn't get the chance to play golf but the course looked very nice. We woke up to deer in the backyard one morning which was so nice. The deck also has a fire pit and hot tub which is great for the chilly evenings.
I truly enjoyed my stay and would like to go back during the winter for some skiing!

Dont want to ever leave!!
If you want to visit a place that has EVERYTHING, this is it!! Not only does this home itself have every game and gaming table you could possibly have (wii, pool table, bocci ball & horseshoe court, BBQs, basketball and the list goes on and on) the community is full of fun activities. We golfed, played tennis, paddleboarded, took bike rides (he provides bikes for his guests which is awesome) and so much more. Johnny couldnt have been more accomidating and I absolutely cant wait to go back. We already reserved the same week for next year. A++ rating from my family!!

Perfect Long Weekend
My girlfriends and I are spread across the country these days and we were in desperate need of a catch up. We came out for a long weekend in early June and were super impressed. For what we spent we really didn't expect the house to be so great. First off it's SPOTLESS and everything was brand new, looks like the owner is super on top of maintenance. The house is furnished really comfortably and the game room is legit. Many a late night poker tournament after coming back from the tiki bar at the lake (which is like a 2 minute walk...amazing). All the bedrooms were comfy but we definitely all slept in bunk beds, it was like luxury sleep-away camp. We had such a blast.
Basically we couldn't have asked for a better weekend, everything was seamless. Johnny is great to work with, he's really organized and helpful. I stayed in his Killington spot last winter and it was similarly awesome so was thrilled to find out he had a summer house too.
