    It is hard to get everyone together on one place so when i planned this vacation i wanted a space big enough for everyone. The house is wonderful and so peaceful. We had a wonderful vacation and this home was family friendly with all the accommodations.

    I would not hesitate to stay at this place again. They successfully managed the approx 18 inches of snow that fell during our 3 day stay. The house was very comfy and cozy and everything we needed and more. Fun fact, I was even able to make my egg hash brown casserole because there was a 9x11 baking pan available which my husband was so surprised by as we have stayed places where that was not something available to us. It was a pleasant surprise.

    Hilltop hideaway was perfect for our family ski weekend! We had plenty of room for the 8 of us. It was very comfy and cozy and clean. We enjoyed the game room area, the well stocked kitchen and beautiful area. Ski lifts only a few min away. Highly recommend and would definitely book again.

    The chalet is gorgeous and very well appointed. The game room was awesome and the fire pit was magical for roasting marshmallows and making memories. If I could give this place more stars, I absolutely would!

    Perfect for our extended stay, after one week we all said we could've stayed another week! The home was clean and accommodated all our needs. We loved the “up-north “ feel, massive brick fireplace, vaulted ceilings, awesome outdoor space. The lot has Plenty of parking even with a boat. Having the garage available is a nice plus, being pet friendly was extremely important to us. Best lakes in the state just a short drive away, highly recommend renting a pontoon to get on the water. Grabbing a pizza and beers at Shorts is a good choice. It’s all about “making memories” and this place will truly send you home with a ton of great ones.

    We had a wonderful family vacation. The house was beautiful, clean, and accommodating. We visited torch lake, which was absolutely stunning. We got rained out the last day of our trip, and we were fine with that! We visited downtown Bellaire and did a little shopping and lunch. Then we headed back to the chalet and played some of the many games!!!

    The property itself was beautiful! Spacious, beautiful setting, great fire pit, the beautiful trees were just incredible! The hosts were easy to get ahold of, easy to talk to and work with. They thought of every little detail and it was much appreciated. The one thing we would liked was to have clocks in the bedrooms.

    Very nice place in a quiet area near Shanty Creek. We had a great time. The best thing we were able to bring our dog. That was a huge plus for us. The place is very clean and well stocked with kit hen supplies, that was awesome. Thanks for a great stay.

    We enjoyed our stay and it was within driving distance of all the Michigan sights we wanted to experience on our trip. Very close to beautiful Torch Lake. The three bedrooms with king beds and three bathrooms were perfect for three couples. We enjoyed the game room with pool table and electronic game toss as well as the fire pit. Kitchen had everything we needed for preparing meals. We used the lodge pool and hot tub once. We would stay here again.
