Loved our stay! There were so many personal touches and the house was stocked everything we could want or need. The house definitely had its squeaks and creeks, and was a bit of a distance from the house down to the beach, but the views and neighborhood eagles made it worth it.

We booked this cabin for a family week long getaway, and it was perfect! The house was clean and had all the amenities as you could ever need. Great beach for the kids. One of my favorite things was the huge porch to sit and watch the lake. Oh, and there were two eagles with a nest right outside the cabin, and we could sit inside and watch them hanging out in the trees. We loved it! Highly recommend!

Lovely Family Weekend!

We spent a long weekend at Cabin on the Hill with family and it was the perfect location! Big Sandy was beautiful and had plenty to do - fishing, swimming, kayaking, and restaurants and resorts within boating distance. The cabin was beautiful and well-stocked and made for the perfect home base. We will certainly be back!

Yearly family get away

The property was great for our yearly family get away. The house had everything we were looking for. The lake area and dock for fishing were perfect and got used very often. We spent one afternoon out on the boat which was also great. Would definitely consider coming back next year.

Great Property!

House was very clean and we were welcomed with a super cute Welcome Basket. We basically stayed inside all weekend, as it was rainy all day and night. Plenty of seating at the table and in the livingroom. Kitchen was very cute and had everything we needed. Beds were comfy as well. Great place, would stay again and recommend to others! Thanks for having us!

Great Family Week Up North

Cabin was just as advertised! We loved the big wrap-around deck, the comfy beds, the pontoon & dock, coffee in the morning and having access to the water toys, sauna, games, and well-stocked kitchen. Access down to the lake was a little tough for my parents (in their mid 70's), but the rest of us had no issues with it. Would definitely recommend! The cabin is beautiful and hosts were easy to reach when needed.

We had a blast at the cabin! The location was awesome. It was super quiet. We took full advantage of the Lily Pad, and had a lot of fun on the pontoon. We spotted swans, loons, and 2 eagles right outside the windows of the cabin. We highly recommend two restaurants, McGregor Baking Company for delicious treats and sandwiches/salads, and The Craft House for anything on the menu. There were plenty of games and books for young kids, and paper/markers for creating artworks.

Labor Day weekend 2022

Loved the cabin, location, view, and the pair of eagles that constantly roosted in a tall tree in front of the cabin. It was a great time for my wife and I, our two married children and spouse, and our two grandboys age 10. I grew up in the area, and it was a chance to show the children where and what Papa did when he was a boy.

We had a truly wonderful stay at this cabin. The space was peaceful, well-kept, and perfect for creating memories with family. One of the highlights of our trip was hiking up to the Sandy Lake Fire Tower, which offered an unforgettable view of the surrounding nature.As an East African family, this type of retreat isn’t something we grew up with, but staying here allowed us to create new traditions together. The cabin gave us the perfect setting to laugh, relax, and connect in a way we’ll carry with us long after our trip.We are deeply grateful for the experience and would recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a place to unwind, reconnect, and make lasting memories

Memories Made

Loved the location and the accommodations. We had 6 adults and 4 kids and everyone was comfortable inside and outside the home. Kids were able to catch fish from the dock, play on the lily pad and other water toys. Lower level was great space for kids to play while adults had space on main level. Kitchen was equipped with everything you may need. Hosts were very responsive to any questions we had. We had a great time and made memories that we will cherish.

Perfect Family Lake Vacation

Such a great time in this beautiful home on a blissfully quiet bay of Big Sandy. Wonderful, well-appointed kitchen, great outdoor spots for beach play, campfires, lawn games. We so appreciated the many small hospitality details- coffee mugs for early mordiendo by the water, lots of kids beach toys (and adult beach toys), a bottle of wine and fixings for s’mores to make everyone happy- really one of the best, most welcoming places our family (G&G, adult children and 2 young grandchildren) have stayed. Very much looking forward to coming back!!! Thank you so much!!!

Great week at 'House On The Hill'

My family stayed at House On the Hill for 1 week in August and we had a wonderful time. The house was very well appointed with everything we needed. There were ample towels, extra linens, and a fully stocked kitchen. We enjoyed the selection of indoor and outdoor games provided. We also made use of the the kayaks and pontoon out on the lake. We were delighted to share one of the backyard trees with a bald eagle that came back almost daily. We had many bonfires with smores. The hosts were very attentive to our needs and were easily reached. Overall, we had a great vacation. Thank you for being our host and sharing your beautiful lake cabin!

Fourth of July weekend

My family and I rented this cabin on the Fourth of July weekend. It was so much fun! The cabin had everything and anything you would need for your stay. Even waterproof cell phone covers! The pontoon was a lot of fun. The fireworks that are right in front of the cabin were amazing. We went out on the pontoon to wat h them. It was beautiful. So many boats. One of the best ways I have seen fireworks! Definitely would recommend. The owners were very easy to get a hold of and so nice. You won’t be disappointed when staying at this cabin.

Relaxing getaway!

Even though the weather didn’t cooperate we had a wonderful time. The cabin was perfect and the lake was beautiful. We enjoyed a fire with s’mores the night it didn’t rain and a boat ride when the sun came out!
