We rented the pontoon as well and the kids loved floating out in the lake and swimming with the lily pad. Laura was outstanding and easy to work with.

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.

The 5 bedrooms downstairs meant that all of the adults, plus the 15-yr. old, had privacy. The other 5 grands, ages 8-13, slept and hung out in the wonderful large space upstairs. They loved it! We spent most of the mornings relaxing on the two patios with tables, while the kids played. We rented the pontoon for 3 days. Each afternoon, we loaded it up with the Lily Pad and headed out for deeper water to swim and play. It happened to be a very hot week, which was perfect. Bonfires every night. Except for one golfing outing, we never left the property. We did all of our cooking there, and just enjoyed being together. I would definitely book this property again! ##### nancy j.

It was perfect for all of us. The cabin is clean/homey/cozy yet spacious w/the 5 bedrooms and 3 gathering areas. We were fortunate to be able to eat most meals on the spacious patio w/ great views of the lake, loons and amazing sunset. The upper gathering room was great for our teens though we all enjoyed games, puzzles and movies up there. Outside we had a great pontoon/canoe/paddle board and kayaks plus lily pad and swimming out on the lake. Everyone enjoyed hours of fishing in search of the elusive “big ones”. It’s also close to ATV trails. Our wonderful hosts were quick to respond to questions and came personally when there was an equipment issue. This rated easily a 5 Star from all of us. ##### Sandy H. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marian B. Aug 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family memories 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! ##### Marian B. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly B.

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. ##### Kelly B. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cheryl M.

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!! ##### Cheryl M. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chet w.

Bedrooms were seperate fron living quarters which was great for noise dampening. We were with our children and grandkids. Loved it ##### Chet w.

Super kid friendly - lots of beach toys, many sizes of life jackets, indoor toys too. Hosts were very approachable and helpful. Only downside I would say is not too much counter space in the kitchen. Really enjoyed our stay and plan to return! ##### Sara L.

Three gathering places. Kitchen counter space limited. Communication as to what’s at cabin top notch so we weren’t hauling items not needed and we’re hauling items we would need. Games, fishing equipment, chairs and second fridge in shed were very handy. Plenty of parking for our 4 vehicles. LOVED having pontoon on site for additional rental. Beautiful, large lake with second lake thru a tunnel. Fishing was good. ##### Jeanne G.

Our family of 8 Adults and 6 kids loved our stay at Hillman House. There’s plenty of room for everyone! The house is well equipped and right on the water. The pontoon boat was a highlight as well as fishing from the dock! Laura is a very attentive, courteous property owner. It’s a great place for a large group or family. ##### Kristen B.
