The wrap-around porch offers the most beautiful and relaxing view imaginable. All we could hear were birds and a few fish jumping in the water. Carol is a great communicator and truly cares that her guests have everything they need. The master bed is super comfy and the kitchen is well equipped. Be ready for a steep curvy driveway. Very doable, but just a heads up for those who fear heights like me! Great stay with easy check in and out. Be sure to keep an eye out the kitchen window for deer in the upper pasture. Beautiful!

We stayed at this property to celebrate my Dad’s 80th and it was wonderful. Plenty of space, comfy beds, gorgeous views allowed everything to be perfect.
The location of the house was perfect. We enjoyed using the kayaks, canoe and paddle board provided. We also rented a boat for one day to explore the lake and were able to easily dock it. Having a small refrigerator down by the dock was very convenient. We also enjoyed making snores at the fire pit. There was plenty of firewood available.
The house was very clean and spacious and the kitchen was fully stocked. The front porch was the perfect spot for reading and enjoying our morning coffee while looking out at the lake.
Carol is an excellent host who made sure our stay was perfect from start to finish. We highly recommend this property!
My family and I had a great stay! We stayed here to enjoy the water and waterside fire pit and for some of our group to go skiing. The slopes were about 40-60 minutes away so completely doable. The hosts were very friendly and even helped us feel more comfortable when we made a request. We all had a wonderful time!
The property is simply fantastic. It was not only beautiful but was also very spacious. We had 7 in our group and never felt crowded. The owners made us feel welcomed and were always available for questions and advice. We loved the place so much that we are already planning a trip back in the summer.
We loved staying at this property! The location was beautiful, the home was clean, and the entire process was seamless! We will definitely come back again!
Great dock, paddleboard, canoe. Downstairs was fun for kids and very spacious. Comfy beds. Fire pit was wonderful. Owner was helpful and made sure we had everything we needed before and during our stay.
We loved the location of the property. Lake access was great. We loved being able to bring a boat to the dock provided . The upstairs bedroom facing the lake could really use some blinds , the sun beams in early in the morning with no curtains or blinds . We had two preteens staying in the downstairs area . I did not feel like the air conditioning was working properly in the downstairs area . It always seemed to be hot downstairs. We loved having the kayaks and paddle boards to use.
Hilltop Hideaway was a lovely home that housed our family this week. We were a family group of 9, with ages ranging 7-73. The lakefront access is exceptional with a large covered dock, kayaks, a canoe and paddle board. We used the lakefront fire pit, graciously furnished with Adirondack chairs and GOOD firewood several times. The location is remote, but we loved being at the end of a channel.
Our family of 10 enjoyed a nice weeklong stay at the lake. The hosts were so gracious and helpful. The property was well-kept. It was one of my favorite vacation spots/rentals that I have stayed at in the past 10 years. We will definitely be returning.
Wonderful house. Quit and peaceful. All my kids had a great time. So nice to have two separate areas. Downstairs great for older kids who stay up late. Upstairs for early to bed and early to rise kids. We loved the dock with all the water crafts. My kids did hours of fishing of the dock! Carol was easy to communicate with. Great place we hope to return!
My family loved the breakdown of bedrooms and ratio to bathrooms The dock had several watersports and a great area for a bonfire. Three separate dining tables and an awesome kitchen to cook for everybody. Extra bonus was a bird had laid her eggs in a nest behind a pillow on a chair on front porch. Love that nature was so close. We will absolutely be back.
The lake house was magnificent. The hosts were very helpful. They answered every question that was asked, they left out towels, and hand soap to be used, and every bed was furnished with pillows and blankets for my group and I. I only had two complaints, the first was that, as the listing description states, the house as no cell service and we relied on the WIFI in the house for any task such as loading directions in our phones to venture into town. With several people accessing the WIFI at the same time, it bogged down becoming unusable when one person was making a phone call. The second and less serious complaint was that the pull out bed downstairs had a horizontal bar that poked into the ribs of the person that was sleeping on it.
Our stay was amazing and he host was excellent. The property was in mint condition, very clean and we simply loved it. I highly recommend this property and host!!
The lake house was spacious (3 bedrooms plus a basement apartment). many amenities and well equipped.
The grounds were well kept. The firepit by the lake dock side was fantastic to warm up in the evening roasting marshmallows.
The area is amazingly beautiful and peaceful. A great place to escape and recharge your batteries. No cellphone reception but satellite TV/internet.
Carol was very helpful and responsive.
Overall, a great time. Will repeat.
We absolutely love this place. It was beautiful and definitely would go back. It was so family friendly and the winery up the the road was gorgeous. It is slice of heaven.
This beauty is set above a lake, tucked Hmong the trees. It features a grand living room with two story ceilings and a nice place to relax after a hike or kayak ride.
The home provides all the amenities needed for an enjoyable retreat. The host is amazingly informative and very friendly. Such a pleasurable stay.
Beautiful home! My family and I truly enjoyed our stay. We loved the front porch, the fire pit, and hanging out at the dock with the kayaks and paddle boards. Only two things the hike to lake (well back up the hill) is brutal but we got use to it and the up stairs bedrooms are a little warm. My son said there wasn’t much AC up there. But we loved spending our time together in this gorgeous home on the lake we will definitely be back.
My family and I were excited to see that the house was just as advertised, with fantastic amenities on the water such as a boat dock, kayaks, canoe, fishing gear, etc. The house was in great shape and provided ample room for all seven of us. The close proximity to local wineries and marinas for boat rental is superb. A+
After a wonderful week at this beautiful location I did not want to leave. The home and property are beautiful. Very peaceful location with beautiful view. We got much use of the kayaks, canoe, paddleboard and parked our boat at the private covered dock, and one day pontoon boat rental. Long ride from NJ but absolutely worth the trip, Carol and Tom were available to answer any and all questions. Perfection - THANK YOU
