Pros: The house was great and had everything we needed. It had plenty of space and the basement area was a big bonus having 4 teens with us. The owners are extremely responsive and answered all questions and texts immediately. Cons: distance to activities - just be prepared to drive a lot. If remote is what you want this house is perfection.

Great stay at cute little house on the water

My family and I had a great stay! We stayed here to enjoy the water and waterside fire pit and for some of our group to go skiing. The slopes were about 40-60 minutes away so completely doable. The hosts were very friendly and even helped us feel more comfortable when we made a request. We all had a wonderful time!

Lovely Week

Hilltop Hideaway was a lovely home that housed our family this week. We were a family group of 9, with ages ranging 7-73. The lakefront access is exceptional with a large covered dock, kayaks, a canoe and paddle board. We used the lakefront fire pit, graciously furnished with Adirondack chairs and GOOD firewood several times. The location is remote, but we loved being at the end of a channel.

Great getaway at the lake

My family loved the breakdown of bedrooms and ratio to bathrooms The dock had several watersports and a great area for a bonfire. Three separate dining tables and an awesome kitchen to cook for everybody. Extra bonus was a bird had laid her eggs in a nest behind a pillow on a chair on front porch. Love that nature was so close. We will absolutely be back.

After a wonderful week at this beautiful location I did not want to leave. The home and property are beautiful. Very peaceful location with beautiful view. We got much use of the kayaks, canoe, paddleboard and parked our boat at the private covered dock, and one day pontoon boat rental. Long ride from NJ but absolutely worth the trip, Carol and Tom were available to answer any and all questions. Perfection - THANK YOU

Upstairs for early to bed and early to rise kids. We loved the dock with all the water crafts. My kids did hours of fishing of the dock! Carol was easy to communicate with.

Great stay!

The wrap-around porch offers the most beautiful and relaxing view imaginable. All we could hear were birds and a few fish jumping in the water. Carol is a great communicator and truly cares that her guests have everything they need. The master bed is super comfy and the kitchen is well equipped. Be ready for a steep curvy driveway. Very doable, but just a heads up for those who fear heights like me! Great stay with easy check in and out. Be sure to keep an eye out the kitchen window for deer in the upper pasture. Beautiful!

Gorgeous Property!

The location of the house was perfect. We enjoyed using the kayaks, canoe and paddle board provided. We also rented a boat for one day to explore the lake and were able to easily dock it. Having a small refrigerator down by the dock was very convenient. We also enjoyed making snores at the fire pit. There was plenty of firewood available. The house was very clean and spacious and the kitchen was fully stocked. The front porch was the perfect spot for reading and enjoying our morning coffee while looking out at the lake. Carol is an excellent host who made sure our stay was perfect from start to finish. We highly recommend this property!
