Pocono Rentals-The Hideout

This was my second time coming to the Hideout for a Poconos weekend getaway. It was a great time (though that mostly has a lot to do with the people I was there with). All in all, it’s a pretty good location — the price was pretty affordable and we had a great view right by the frozen lake.
A few tips:
1. The nearest Wal-​Mart supercenter is about a half hour away. There’s also a strip mall nearby there with a grocery store, liquor store, and a few others.
2. Be sure to take out your trash to the containers!
3. Check out time is at 11 AM
4. Bring your own sheets. You may also need additional blankets depending on the rooms and how many people are staying.
5. The nearest outlets are the Crossings Premium outlets.

Do not rent house #1705 from Bill Culley Pocono rentals. The house was disgustingly filthy.
As soon as we arrived I noticed that the grounds haven’t been maintained in a while. The house was listed as «on the pond» but we couldn’t make our way to it because there was knee high grass, not to mention a racoon that chased me from the back of the house to the front.
Once we went inside and tried to turn on the lights and AC’s we noticed that some of the lights didn’t turn on and that the ceiling fan wasn’t working. It was extremely hot in the living room so I began to open the windows only to find out that two out of the four windows were broken.
Because two windows were broken and we wanted to cool down the house before our guest got there I attempted to open the screened doors but ALL of the screens were broken not allowing us to leave the doors open because bugs would get in.
I always, always inspect my rental homes. When I’m entering and existing. The more I inspected the home, the more things I found wrong. I decided to take pictures and forward them to the rental office so I wouldn’t be held liable and to ensure that my deposit would be fully refunded.
My boyfriend did his best to repair the screen on the main level door so we can enjoy as best we could the back deck, which by the way was absolutely disgusting. We swept, wiped off the plastic patio furniture and put table clothes on the tables.
In the morning I got an email from Bill Culley that said, «I have Christy on the way now». No apologies, no nothing.
I was awaken by guess who?! Yup! Christy! She was on the patio cleaning the furniture I had already cleaned the day before. Which is exactly what I told her.
Picture frames were hanging off one nail, broken glass was on the deck, ceiling light fixture was broken, cigarette burns on seat covers, fireplace area was dirty, carpet in the basement was dirty, etc. I wasn’t expecting a five star house but I was expecting to walk into a rental house that was clean and ready to enjoy.
You’ve been warned!
