Summary: It was perfect. We utilized every room in the house. Everyone got their own sleeping space and we had enough room for gift opening, game playing, cookie baking, relaxing by the fireplace and enjoying the sunset views. We even got some ice fishing in and got plenty of keepers. We would definitely stay again and recommend it to anyone. Laura was a pleasure to work with.

Summary: This is a great place. We had one hiccup, which was minor, a smoke detector battery started chirping...which was taken care of within 30 minutes or less of us asking what WE could do. Excellent service. Will be back. Great location for all of us. Fishing off of the dock was even great. Will be back if it works out. Thank you!!!

Summary: Just feet from the lake, the wildlife and sunsets do not disappoint. We enjoyed exploring Platte and Sullivan lakes in the luxury pontoon. We watched the eagles in the morning with breakfast on the patio, and listened to the Loons in the evenings around the fire. You'll want for nothing here. The generous layout of the home and well ammended bedrooms, means you have the room and comfort to truly relax. The host was gracious and quick to communicate which made our stay easy, and stress-free. Look no further, Whether you're a large group or small, this home and it's location will impress. Already planning our next trip back.

Summary: Our family had a great time at the Hillman House. The house was very cozy, plenty of comfy beds and just enough room to have everyone around the dining room table! It was fun to fish right off the end of the dock. Nice supply of safety gear, fun outside toys and lake was very smooth to take the pontoon for a spin. Beautiful view of the lake. Owners were awesome to work with and very kind when we had questions. Would definitely consider renting this place again!!

Summary: Our 3 generations of family, ages 12-74, just returned to Hillman Hideaway for another 4 nights. Last summer was supposed to be a once in a lifetime vacation here for all of us together. Then last Christmas, our kids and grandkids all decided to come back. We did. I learned to paddle board at 69 yrs old. We canoed and kayaked. The kids jumped on and off of the Lilly pad both from the pontoon or running off of the dock and jumping on to it in the rain. We all played cards together at the picnic tables or on rainy days at that huge dining room table that held all 14 of us! Most of our cooking was done on the blackstone or the campfire, but the kitchen works, too. We caught fish from the pontoon and in the evening the kids could catch fish from the dock or a kayak. We sat around the fire using the wood the hosts provided and watched glorious sunsets over the lake. We relaxed in hammocks listening to loons calling as eagles soared and swooped to catch fish. The cabin has plenty of room to spread out. The shed fridge was much appreciated, as well as the life jackets, fishing poles, and lots of water toys. Laura was great to work with, answering any questions promptly. Jeremy too, wanting to make sure the pontoon was working for us. We’re glad we rented the pontoon. It’s beautiful. Thank you for this slice of paradise!

Summary: We stayed here for a family gathering with my siblings and kids. There was plenty of space to spread out, the kids loved the upstairs bonus room. The beds were very comfortable for sleeping, and with multiple seating areas, we all found places to congregate. We rented the pontoon boat, and enjoyed every minute of our time on the lake. When questions came up, the owners were very quick to respond and very helpful. I highly recommend this home for group gatherings!

Summary: We had a great time. The property is just as described and as it shows in the pictures. Very clean, organized, and nice areas to spread out in. Laura was very helpful before check in telling us what we might want to bring and giving us other tips. Laura and Jeremy were also super at talking us through a few issues with the boat, and very timely at it as well. The grandkids loved the lily pad, and all the other water toys. They would have spent the entire time jumping off the dock or lily pad if they could have. Very quiet and relaxing. Thanks for a great time. Hopefully we will be able to return again sometime.
