Hilltop Hideaway -1500+ sq/ft home - views of private lake on 42 beautiful acres

House was very nice, I loved the isolated location of the property and the security of being inside a gate. One slight negative is the narrow and tight spacing for those like me who are on a fishing trip and pulling a boat, but other than that it was perfect.

Perfect Getaway

We wanted a long weekend get-away with a chance to pond fish. The Hilltop Hideway did not disappoint! The house was just fine and had everything we needed. An extra star for the excellent water pressure and A/C that works great! We like to fish; but when it hits 90, we like to sit in the A/C! The pond was great too, caught some "pond fish" and a pretty large catfish but we were after the Bass. Over a 3 day period we caught around 30 bass weighing in average of 2 pounds, the largest we caught was 3.5 pounds. Caught quite a few more but did they did not wish to meet us on the shore. They were all put back in for you to try to catch. We also enjoyed watching the "pond mermaid" as she gracefully swam around in the mornings and evenings; The Beaver that is. It was a great long weekend getaway!

Great Stay for First Monday Show

This wooded property was beautiful, with a cozy home and a pond/lake. The home owners provided bottled water in the fridge. Also, there was a box of laundry detergent in the laundry room. We enjoyed our stay in this nicely furnished home!

House is great and the views from the back porch or deck was awesome. Pond is beautiful too. Saw lots of birds and a couple of deer. The wild pigs squealing in the darkness, when you shine a flashlight their way, adrenalin rush:) Very secluded. Hiked all the trails. Property is well groomed in all the right places and wild on the rest.
