Best Stay We Have Had
Our family has been doing summer get togethers for around 10 years at various VRBOs in Wisconsin and Minnesota, and this was the best one yet. The combination of being comfortable, quiet and relaxing, along with great fishing and a very responsive host makes this a place we will be returning to.

Family Fun
Great location! We enjoyed beautiful weather, sunsets and a quiet lake. There was lots of opportunity to enjoy the water, do some tubing and relax. Close enough to town where we were able to go grab a bite to eat or enjoy the local area zoo. Laura is easy to work with and communicates often. We had so much fun as a family just enjoying time together.

Summer Family Get-away
Roomy property with many amenities. Beautiful sunsets and plenty of activities for adults and children. We loved the use of the pontoon boat, fire pit, kayaks, lily pad, and fishing equipment.

Fantastic Stay at Hillman Hideaway
We had a great stay at Hillman Hideaway. We had 5 adults and 9 kids ages 5-13. The place is excellent with plenty of space. The three separate family room areas left plenty of room for the kids to be upstairs playing games and hanging out while the parents were relaxing. We rented the pontoon as well and the kids loved floating out in the lake and swimming with the lily pad. Laura was outstanding and easy to work with. We did a lot of fishing with our boat as well and the fishing was good to excellent. Overall a great experience. The grandkids have already asked if we could go back again next year

A Perfect Vacation!
This property was so perfect for us! The 5 bedrooms downstairs meant that all of the adults, plus the 15-yr. old, had privacy. The other 5 grands, ages 8-13, slept and hung out in the wonderful large space upstairs. They loved it! We spent most of the mornings relaxing on the two patios with tables, while the kids played. We rented the pontoon for 3 days. Each afternoon, we loaded it up with the Lily Pad and headed out for deeper water to swim and play. It happened to be a very hot week, which was perfect. Bonfires every night. Except for one golfing outing, we never left the property. We did all of our cooking there, and just enjoyed being together. I would definitely book this property again!

This was the perfect place for our family vacation! It was nice to spread out if needed. The view of the lake was beautiful and having the use of the pontoon was an added bonus! Will definitely stay there again if we are back in that area!

Fall family getaway
Great place to stay with a group, lots of space to spread out. Super kid friendly - lots of beach toys, many sizes of life jackets, indoor toys too. Hosts were very approachable and helpful. Only downside I would say is not too much counter space in the kitchen. Really enjoyed our stay and plan to return!

Family Togetherness
Plenty of sleeping options for 13 people, various ages, from 4 related families. Three gathering places. Kitchen counter space limited. Communication as to what’s at cabin top notch so we weren’t hauling items not needed and we’re hauling items we would need. Games, fishing equipment, chairs and second fridge in shed were very handy. Plenty of parking for our 4 vehicles. LOVED having pontoon on site for additional rental. Beautiful, large lake with second lake thru a tunnel. Fishing was good.

Peaceful well equipped cabin!
Our family of 8 Adults and 6 kids loved our stay at Hillman House. There’s plenty of room for everyone! The house is well equipped and right on the water. The pontoon boat was a highlight as well as fishing from the dock! Laura is a very attentive, courteous property owner. It’s a great place for a large group or family.
