A large upper loft makes this a great option for families with kids or a peaceful adult retreat.

Hillview House

MichelleRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Our family of eight was in town for our son’s wedding June 5-8 2025. We absolutely loved the vintage vibe of the place! From the furniture to the record player there were so many details that added to the fun. The linens and towels were very good quality and all of the beds were on the firm side. There were plenty of extra pillows, blankets, towels, fans and many other amenities. Heidi made sure that everything I needed to assist with making rehearsal dinner was available. The kitchen was WELL EQUIPPED and we used a lot of the supplies and every inch of sprawling counter space! The lower level family room was great for watching TV with the family and the grandkids enjoyed all the games that were available. We cooked out on the gas grill and spent time on the patio during our visit. On our last night there we relaxed around the fire pit before packing. I would definitely stay here again and would 10 out of 10 recommend!

Spacious Lakefront Retreat|Sleeps 16+|Private Dock

PeterRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

What a wonderful stay! The host was great with spot on directions and tips for fun in the area. The house is a hidden gem! On the quiet part of the lake with great fishing and tons of room to paddle and play. The common areas of the house were excellent for gathering and being together. The rest of the house was ideal for everyone to have their own space and worked great for kiddos big or small to crash early or sleep late as needed. We’ll be booking again!
