Hill house was a beautiful property with great views. The host was very responsive and accomodating, and everything was thoughtfully stocked. I really wish there was a second bathroom, but that is the only negative. We had a wonderful stay!

This place was amazing! Absolutely love the lake cabin vibe and killer views of the Sandhills. It was a more expensive place than I typically go for but was totally worth it. They’ve thought of everything, VERY well equipped and stocked. Even had wheel caulks for parking the boat. We’ll be back someday.
