What a great family friendly place to stay!

Property was great. The house is set up on 2 levels with a large covered deck, fire pit and and a short walk to the dock. This is the second year in a row we have stayed here and will most likely be back next year.

1000000000000% Satisfactory

I always read reviews before staying somewhere. I was so nervous reading some of the bad reviews, but I tell you what, ignore them like I did because our stay was phenomenal! I never had to reach out to Kelly, but I know if I would have, communication would have been perfectly fine. We had Verizon, so our service was just fine, but even if you had to back track a little for reception, it wasn’t a big deal. The lake is literally right behind the house. It is on an incline, but the name “Hilltop Haven” is a given so we came prepared. I do recommend bringing a wagon if you have intentions of loading up a boat at the shared dock though. When they say their kitchen is well equipped, they mean it. We did not need anything extra our whole trip for cooking. There is a Dollar General and ALP store fairly close by if you do happen to forget something. The home was so cute with its Rustic Lake House decor. We were wanting to unplug, unwind and just hang out with our friends and this was the perfect place for it. Super quiet area! We saw lots of wildlife which was fun for the kiddos. The back porch was absolutely delightful for any time of day. We honestly stayed so busy we didn’t get to use the fire pit as much as we’d like, but how nice and convenient it was! I’m definitely keeping this place saved because our group already wants to start planning its next trip back! Thank you Kelly for offering such a wonderful space. So happy we found your place!

Hill Top Haven has everything you could possibly need. Very warm and inviting ... Kelly the Host, not so much! Be sure Vrbo and Host contact you days before your stay to confirm your reservation and get Door Code, because phone service very spotty and panic will set in quickly.

Cozy lake home

Since it was winter we didn’t get to enjoy the lake amenities but the home is well stocked and beautifully decorated in an antique country motif. The basement space is rustic and adds extra gathering space. Having an extra refrigerator was a real bonus. We celebrated Christmas with family, and while the weather kept some away, it was a great place for us to share.

Lovely Property!

We stayed over the Christmas weekend and spent Christmas there as one big family. There was plenty of space for all of us. The kitchen was a good size for everyone to work around in and the living room and dining room areas were great for hanging out in. We did have some concerns slash suggestions but nothing majorly bad or wrong with the property. First, there was limited seating around the dining room table and not enough chairs for us. You might look in to keeping some folding chairs in the closet? Second, the beds in the top floor bedrooms were pretty high off the floor, our older parents had a little trouble with that but it worked out. They were very comfortable beds from what they said! Overall, great place to stay, especially if you are looking for a lake house. The basement area was really cool and personalized! Last suggestion we had was to keep a guest book for visitors to sign once they leave. This is the first rental we’ve had where there wasn’t one and we always enjoy writing a thoughtful nice message to the property owners at the end of our stay, I’m sure others would enjoy that too. Thank you again for being such good hosts and thank you for allowing us to stay in your guys house!

Thanksgiving at The Lake

we found the house cozy and warmly decorated. All supplies were provided as indicated, kitchen well stocked. Plenty of room for the six of us and our dogs. Only negative was the weather (but this is November afterall) - we had hoped to use the firepit to roast marshmallows and cook hotdogs. But great that there was a grill for us to use. Boys and their dad enjoyed wal to the lake - finding neat rocks.

Not What I Expected

I will preface my comments by saying the property overall was clean though I did some scrubbing in the fridge prior to putting my food in it. Didn't have the best start when the door keylock didn't work. We tried for 30 minutes in excessive heat to gain entry before we were able to get inside. I expected (my mistake) a lake view which we didn't have. Our goal was to swim & fish off the dock. Make sure you have water shoes to swim it was so muddy - my husband cut his foot on the side of the dock. I didn't take first aid because I read it was available in the house - never did find even a band aid. Understandably, the property is well water which I've lived with before. We smelled sewage in the water from faucets. Owners reported it was sulfur which I've also lived with but it didn't smell like sulfur to the 3 adults that stayed. Nothing we could do about that though I did boil water before making iced tea. Our 16 yr old grandson slept w/his mother & 7 yr old brother in a full bed because both boys refused to sleep downstairs. Oh, the nice grill pictured didn't work. Couldn't get the knobs to adjust. Did get a small flame in the back wall of grill which isn't conducive for grilling steaks. The property was decorated in a very cute manner & the kitchen offered almost every appliance one would want. I'm not accustomed to writing a negative review & gave myself a couple weeks cooling off period prior to doing so. It didn't help the day we got home the price was dropped $30 nightly. This is the 1st time we've used a 3rd party rental & quite possibly may be the last.

make sure dock is accessible

They only down fall was THE DOCK!!! That sucked big time. If I had know the dock was not accessible we wouldn't have chosen this place we had to swim out and pull our self up on the dock causing cuts and bruising, Very hard for the little one and my father. The neighbor was very rude about us using his dock and would not let us use it. commenting that it is a shame that the owner will not/ has not fixed it. Other then that the stay was wonderful! very clean and beautiful home. If dock was fixed I would go back.

Hill Top Haven

Nice property; insufficient vehicle parking (3 cars max and they should be small, not full size or just 2 pick ups). Access to the lake from the house (which is more 3rd tier) requires a moderately steep long walk. Have cleaning crew clean under sofa and chair cushions in upstairs living room. Key pad and entry code did not work and required an actual key and a call to the property manager.

Loved the wrap around porch!

Cute place to get away from everything. Temperature was moderate and rainy during our stay - and the wrap around porch was our favorite hang out. A small grocery store is conveniently located nearby so you can stock up on all the essentials there. We didn't plan well and arrived hungry and weren't able to find a restaurant nearby but just made a quick run to the grocery and were able to get what we needed for our stay. Fun little getaway with lots of personality.

We will Definitely be going back!!

We had a nice relaxing wonderland time! We had pets, kids, adults, and the house accommodated us all!! This house was fully stocked with everything you could think of!! We have stayed in places before that cost more to stay and didn't have so much as a kitchen towel, and 2 rolls of TPaper. My mom was impressed and let me tell you that says something. The only thing I would say and it has nothing to do with the house, is I wish you were able to drive down closer to the water cause the walk back up the hill with all our coolers, beach bags, etc. at the end of the day sucks!! So for the inconciterate people who made it so there is no longer a golf cart to use just take a second next time and think of your elders who could really use something like that. My folks worked hard all their lives as we all do, and their bodies hurt at the end of the day, so don't always take things to far and ruin it for everyone else. Comunication will the host was very quick and helpful. We have been renting lake houses now for several years and this is the first one I've ever wanted to go back to, it's everything I wanted!!

About the host

Hosted by Kelly

2 couples own this home. We travel all over the world together and have several business ventures together. We love having a lake house for the weekends when all of our a families get together. Our lake house was a labor of love. When we purchased it, all 4 of us spent many hours cleaning, repairing and redecorating it so that we would feel like home when we walked in......and we do. We hope you love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

This property was purchased for the benefit of our families and many other families to enjoy. We searched forever to find the perfect home that had the necessities we thought were important to our families to make lots of memories in. This home features an amazing upstairs with 2 rooms and a brand new kitchen and bathroom. Downstairs the kids will enjoy the additional space to watch tv and have their own room and bathroom area. The beautiful deck stretches the entire length of the home and features an amazing view as the sun is coming up and going down. A 100 yd walk and you are at an area that you can enjoy swimming, fishing or relaxing at. The dock is also located in this area which can be reached easily by foot.

What makes this property unique

The home having walk-to water access is very rare on Pomme De Terre lake. This is definitely something we wanted and waited to find the perfect home that had this unique feature. It is a 2nd tier home that does require a walk up a hill back to the house which is why we named it Hilltop Haven.
