Hillcrest is a private, spacious home in a quiet, safe neighborhood on a cul-de-sac, nestled high on a hill surrounded by wooded privacy. The vaulted ceilings, towering windows, hardwood floors, and massive granite kitchen island will make this space ideal for a large group, such as a corporate or family retreat, yet even a single family. You'll love the close proximity to the areas premier amenities including Tioga Beach on Pokegama Lake with a nice boat launch, pavilion picnic area and playground (4mn walk on a private trail, steps from the driveway). Tioga Mountain Bike Trailhead is also a 4mn bike ride from the driveway. There are 4 golf courses within a 20-minute drive. Grand Rapids' myriad amenities, and of course, over 1,000 lakes in the county make this a spectacular place to explore with your family and friends.

Inside this 4,500 square foot house, there is room for everyone and then some. The gathering spaces include a living room/dining room, kitchen, loft, and recreational room. The living room/dining room space includes an electric fireplace, puzzle table, a large Smart TV, a bar with wine glasses. The dining room table has leaves to seat 8+. The French doors lead outside to the stamped concrete entertainment area with patio furniture and a gas grill.

The kitchen has the largest refrigerator and island you've ever seen! The 20-foot vaulted ceilings and wall of windows make this a beautiful and inviting space. The gas stove, sinks, and fridge are surrounded by black maple custom cabinets. There are 5 taller chairs to belly-up to eat at the island and two standard-size padded dining chairs off to the side to enjoy your coffee or tea. There are two sinks, a separate pantry, and dishwasher. It's fully equipped with high-quality appliances, utensils, pots/pans, and dinnerware like a Kitchen Aid mixer, Instapot, 40-cup coffee pot, blender, 4-slice toaster, toaster oven, coffee pot, and more. The kitchen is also fully stocked with dishwasher detergent, paper towels, some coffee and tea to get you by (suggest bringing your own), a variety of spices, and some condiments. You may want to bring ice since the ice maker typically can’t keep-up with the needs of large groups.

The loft is a great place to look at the views of the surrounding area, relax in the large sectional, and enjoy the electric fireplace. This cozy space includes a large Smart TV, a small desk, kids’ games, and a variety of books.

The attached garage was turned into a Rec Room great for teens or young adults who want to let loose playing foosball or games at the card table. The room has a second fridge/freezer and an oversize chair with an ottoman. One of the two garage doors has a remote-control screen that can be put down allowing fresh air in (either day or night) while keeping the mosquitoes out! In this room you will find outdoor games, balls, ~6 nylon lawn chairs, bocce ball, small cornhole boards, and beach toys. As an extra bonus, there are two solid twin-size bunk beds for 4 extra sleeping spaces.

The front yard gradually leads you to the large fire pit and makes for breath-taking star gazing. The massive driveway allows many cars, boats, snowmobiles, you name it to comfortably park. There is plenty of grass space for an RV and trails to play and explore around the property. A jog stroller, high-chair, pack and play, dog toys, a cupboard full of board games and puzzles (in the kitchen island across from the windows), baby gate, beach towels, kids’ life jackets, and an adult-size electric bike that can be rented separately (contact host for more details).

Things to consider: The driveway is relatively steep. The main living area requires climbing up a large staircase from the front door. Bringing slippers or indoor shoes is suggested.

Enjoy searching for the hidden door!

    House was great for a large group of friends. The only negative of the location for us was that we needed to haul our ATVs to the trails. But if you are not there for that purpose This house is absolutely amazing! And the communication before & during with the hosts was exceptional! Highly recommend! Note: there are a lot of steps up to main area.

    Such a nice place. Wish we had known that the main floor was not on the entrance level though. Made for a bit of carrying with the amount of food we had brought. Otherwise we were very happy with the accommodations.

    Beautiful property with easy access to the lake and to town. It was absolutely perfect for what we needed. Everything was super easy, from booking, communication with the owners and checking in/out. Would highly recommend for your visit up North.

    This home exceeded our expectations! We had every age group with us, from infants, toddlers, kids, teens, adults, and elderly. There was truly something for everyone! The biking trails nearby were awesome and having the lake just a short walk away was a huge plus. Eric and Brenna are very helpful and were quick to respond to any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again if we are back in the area. We loved the huge kitchen island, plenty of space for everyone to hang out and play games, lots of provided games and amenities. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Great whole house sound system. House location made for easy access with minimal traffic. Not on water, but very short walk to nice beach/recreation area. Host communicated very well. Would definitely stay here again.

    This house was perfect for our friends getaway weekend. We used this house for 3 households to come together and be able to getaway for a few days. We have children in the group ranging infant to 9 years of age and from the kids to the adults, the house met all our needs. There was plenty of space to come together or spread out as we needed. All of the amenities were comfortable and it was very clean. We would definitely stay here again.

    My family booked Eric’s beautiful rental for a quick weekend getaway. We have rented multiple different properties throughout Minnesota over the years, and most of the group mentioned how much they loved this one. The features of the home were amazing, the location was beautiful, we enjoyed the privacy, the home fit all 13 of us, and there was always something for us to do. I also really appreciated Eric accommodating us when we asked if we could check in a bit earlier. Eric gave great instructions, and was very communicative through out our stay and assisted us with all of the questions we had. We definitely will be back. Thanks so much Eric for being such a great host.

    Spacious enough for a group of 5 to spend quiet time. The kitchen island made a great dining table, the table by the bar was to far from the kitchen. Loft was great space but the furniture was horrible (to soft). Night sky is beautiful out the kitchen windows. AC was perfect and consistent thru out. If you bring a dog make sure it is on a leash, people in the area do not use leashes. Also for bears at night. We had a great 5 days and check out Judy Garlands house with Children's Museum.
