Fishing Trip w/ friends
I booked this property for a long weekend - 4 days of fishing at Otisco with a group of friends. The house is fantastic. It has tons of space, lots of sofas & chairs, a huge, well-stocked kitchen, tons of chairs outside for the fire ring, a great view, no visible neighbors, and even access to the garage which is really rare. Great place for a group or a big family!

Outstanding accommodations with scenic fall views to die for, will definitely stay here again!
The Hilltop was one of the better rental properties we have stayed at!! Jason and Emily were responsive and very helpful with great recommendations and helpful insights. The property was clean and well cared for with modern amenities. The surrounding views were second to none in a lovely country setting. Thirty-five minutes from the airport and a few short minutes to shopping and fun. We thoroughly enjoyed the tours of the local orchards and cideries as well as the vineyards, not far from the property. We had returned to central New York to visit family and have found a new spot that we will definitely stay at again. Check this place out, you won't be disappointed!

Beautiful property!
Jason & Emily were great hosts and we had a wonderful stay. The property was very clean and well looked after, it had everything we needed. It was such a nice peaceful retreat and getaway.
We stayed at this property to celebrate my two best friends that are getting married. It was in a great spot, very beautiful and perfect for what we needed.
We had a wonderful time at Hilltop Retreat. The hot tub was a wonderful way to relax and was welcome warmth on the chilly days. We found everything we needed in the kitchen to prepare family meals and plenty of space to be together or get a little alone time. We also enjoyed the charming Tully Market and Flourish Farm cafe in town. A very welcoming community. We enjoyed the farm fresh eggs from your neighbors roadside stand.Thank you Jason and Emily for hosting us, you have thought of everything to make your guests feel welcome and well cared for.

Thank you for choosing our home to spend quality time with your family. We are happy that your stay was five star and hope to have the opportunity to host you and your family again! Thank you again!
A blizzard rolled through during our stay which made fire awesome views the next day. The woodstove kept us all super toasty and the kitchen had everything we needed!

Lovely home in a peaceful setting!
This was our second time staying at the Hilltop Retreat. The house is spacious - enough room for my family upstairs and my sister's family downstairs to spread out. We love the large open living room and deck for sitting. The hot tub is amazing. Everything was clean and comfortable and we hope to return again!
The property was perfect for our family with lots of space and gorgeous views. We appreciated all the thoughtfulness that Jason and Emily put into making the home comfortable and enjoyable. We’d love to stay again when the weather warms up!
Love love this area and the home/property. We fixed dinner at home 2 nights and ate out another. Kitchen was nicely stocked. The view of the lake and the western view made for stunning sunset pics. We would definitely stay here again!
