Just had a fabulous week for our family of 13 at Hilltop Haven. David was wonderful, he has thought of every last detail for this beautiful home. Always quick to get back to us and always very helpful to answer all our questions. Plenty of space and very clean and totally up to date. We loved the island and all the toys on it. Rode the bikes several times to the nearby ice cream and coffee shop. We also rented his pontoon boat, which is maybe a little bit older, but got us just fine around the lake. Would definitely recommend and come back.

Unique and amazing property

I stayed with extended family for a long weekend and we all loved our time here. The island is such a novelty and we spent most of our time on it as it’s set up beautifully. The home is the nicest I’ve stayed in across many lake rentals in the broader area. We’ll definitely be back!

This beautiful home was amazing and just like the pictures! The private island is awesome for campfires, paddle boarding, and kayaking. The hot tub is great! The beds were comfortable, nice appliances, nice bathrooms, and beautiful views! The communication with the owner was great too! Highly recommend!

Gorgeous property!

Everything was “top of the line”. We fished and swam in the lake. Took advantage of the kayaks, paddleboat and paddleboards! Used the hot tub every night! Kitchen had everything you could possibly need. Check in/out was easy! Great communication with hosts! Thanks for sharing your property - we would love to stay there again!

Absolutely amazing all the way around

We rented this location for my daughter's sweet 16 birthday. A 2 day long surprise party that went even better then anticipated. Itnwas everything i had hoped and then some. The location is gorgeous. Inside and outside is full of things to stay busy and even when it rained we have a fantastic time. Everyone is busy discussing when we can do it again already!!

Excellent

My husband and I booked Hilltop Haven on Sylvan Lake for our family of 16 ages 11-70ish. The home was beautiful with room for our entire family. Having our own private island with all the extras was really cool. Our grandkids and kids spent lots of time on the kayaks and paddleboards provided, and fishing off the island and bridge connecting the house to the island. They also enjoyed swimming in the lake. We brought our own boat to ski, tube, and knee board behind. We also rented Hilltop's pontoon. Our grandson said we had a leisure boat and a fast, fun boat!! Exactly what we needed so everyone could go out at the same time. Sylvan Lake is a really nice lake, I highly recommend Hilltop Haven on Sylvan Lake. It was off the beaten path and a little piece of heaven. I would go again and again!
