It was a comfortable place to stay with our family and dogs for our bird hunting trip. Hot tub was nice and clean and wonderful to soak in after hunting all day. No fish were biting during our stay probably due to time of season. Would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay at this gem of a property on Beaver Lake. The long private dock out to the water provides a tranquil environment to sit and relax or hop in the paddleboat and do some fishing. The Smores provided as part of our stay was a nice touch. Would stay here again on my next trip to Hillman.

Wonderful vacation!

Our family gathered at this clean, roomy, well supplied home for a few days of peaceful time away from stressful lives. Grandchildren loved the paddleboat and dock. Adults loved that location was so close to bigger fishing lakes in area. We had a wonderful time! Loved this place!

Very dog friendly! But didn't "smell" like a dog property! Nice and clean. Loved being right on the lake. Super quiet. Hot tub was scrupulously clean and ready to be used upon check in. Property feels very private. Great stay and wish we could have stayed longer.

The cabin was very clean, everything you need to cook a home cooked meal, including a crockpot. Us order folks couldn't use the paddle boat, too hard to dump water out of it after the rain. Nice picnic table with umbrella for the hot sunny days. We would definitely recommend this place!

Oasis

The cabin was absolutely beautiful! The lake view was stunning. Pretty much had the lake to ourselves. It was really nice to get away from the metro Detroit area and recharge. My husband and I brought our dog and she had such a blast. I would highly recommend this cabin for anyone that is looking to spend time with their family, loved ones and their dog!
