    Clean and accommodating! The host was quick to respond and went out of her way to make sure our stay was perfect. We actually rented both homes on the hill and it worked out perfectly for our large group of fisherman. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you

    Ashley was always quick to respond with questions that I had! We had everything we needed and the house was ready for us! The kitchen was an open concept with the living room, which was very nice! The house situated on a dead end and it was very quiet and peaceful! Nice to set on the front porch where you could see the lake and watch the deer! Would definitely recommend this nice home!

    Nice open floor plan to spend time with family. Quiet area and fun fishing but not that far from stores when something was needed.

    Great location, very quiet and end of road. Loved seeing the stars so bright. Close to food and in the middle of the wine trail. Three couples each had their own bedroom and the living room Love Pit LOL, had plenty of space to fellowship and talk about our time together on this trip. Will try to stay again if in area.

    Our granddaughter attends SIU and marches with the band. Our family of six stayed at Hilltop Retreat and it was very nice and convenient to the campus. We also went to several wineries on the Wine Trail and to the Little Grand Canyon. Very comfortable stay.

    House was nice and secluded location .. few things were broken .. ceiling fan in bedroom and they had a standing fan in that room that legs were broken.. drains in both bathroom sinks hardly worked at all. 2nd night (we only stayed 2 nights) the AC stopped working and only blew warm air .. let owner know .. she refunded me $50.. but felt like I should have received more .. overall we had fun just uncomfortable 2nd night and morning

    We came into town for our annual birding competition. We did not use much of what was available to us as we were out birding all day. Plenty of room for 5 adults. We had all the dishes, towels, and bedding we needed. Everything looked clean. No hassle check-in and the host communicated all we needed to know in a timely manner. Eastern Whip-poor-will heard outside at night which was a reat bonus for us. We might make staying here an annual thing.
