Wedding weekend

Loved our stay at the lodge! It is equipped with everything you need to cook in, and the rooms are spacious and beautiful. We had two families stay for a good friends wedding and the living arrangements were perfect. We had a bonfire the last night and were treated to some fabulous and unexpected fireworks on the lake. Definitely would book again.

Annual Siblings Weekend

We feel so blessed to have found this home for our annual siblings' weekend getaway. There were ten of us who stayed, and this beautiful log cabinet accommodated us and exceeded our expectations by providing all of the amenities we could have needed. This log home was spacious which gave all of us plenty of space to be together or have some private time. The home is absolutely beautiful and is decorated as a piece of art. The grounds and views of Grand Traverse Bay were amazing. We highly recommend this home to anyone coming to the area! Thanks Lauren for hosting us!

A Family Getaway

A huge log lodge with space for everything a group would want to do and yet it still manages to feel very cozy. We enjoyed the house and views immensely and the location is great for visiting some wineries and getting out to great restaurants. But the kitchen is fully functional so you really wouldn't have to leave at all.

Awesome property

This house was spectacular! It was laid out nicely with privacy for everyone. The kitchen had everything we needed…including spices…sometimes we have had to buy even salt and pepper at other houses. The basement game room had more games than we could get to in just 1 week. If there was any negative, it would be crossing a 55 mph road to get to the dock. Overall, we were very happy!

Amazing!!!

The Hilltop Log Lodge is an incredible log home with tons of space. Lots of room to spread out and enjoy a variety of activities. The lodge is very well-appointed with all the amenities you could possibly need. Everything was extremely clean. Beds were very comfortable with quality bed linens. This was one of the nicest VRBO's we have ever stayed in. Would definitely stay again! You will not be disappointed with a stay at Hilltop Log Lodge!!

Family weekend

Property is amazing. Large high-end log cabin with great spaces and nice comfortable furniture. Bedrooms very nice. We were a party of 8 and it was just right size-wise. Loved the outdoor fire circle. Perfect base of operations for all the adventure that Sutton’s Bay and Travers City have to offer…biking, hiking, views, wineries, breweries, restaurants. We’ll be back!
