Best Stay We Have Had

Our family has been doing summer get togethers for around 10 years at various VRBOs in Wisconsin and Minnesota, and this was the best one yet. The combination of being comfortable, quiet and relaxing, along with great fishing and a very responsive host makes this a place we will be returning to.

Family vacation

This was the perfect place for our family vacation! It was nice to spread out if needed. The view of the lake was beautiful and having the use of the pontoon was an added bonus! Will definitely stay there again if we are back in that area!

Our stay at the lakehouse was fantastic! The view of the lake, especially at sunset was nothing short of stunning. Getting out on the lake was a breeze by kayak, paddleboard, or canoe. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking implements and the hosts are great about letting you know what to expect. The beds were plentiful and quite comfortable. Our hosts were excellent communicators and made our stay a breeze. 10/10 would stay again!

The host was very welcoming and all of our questions were answered in a timely manner. The house was big enough to fit all 16 of us comfortably. The only suggestion I have is to have extra bedsheets and pillow cases available for guests. I am not sure if these were stored elsewhere but we were unable to find any. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay and would come back.

Summer Family Get-away

Roomy property with many amenities. Beautiful sunsets and plenty of activities for adults and children. We loved the use of the pontoon boat, fire pit, kayaks, lily pad, and fishing equipment.

Our family enjoyed our stay, house is perfect with number of bedrooms and bathrooms. Kitchen is rather small with no counter space but we utilized the black stone to cook a lot of our meals. Rented the pontoon so spent a lot of time out on the lake. Had great weather so that was a plus. We hope to stay again next year.

My five children and their spouses and I enjoyed our stay in this home. It accommodated us very well. we enjoyed the closeness of the lake from the house and the very nice pontoon boat.There was room for all of us to sit together and eat or play games outside as well as inside. A good time was had by all.

Fantastic destination on the labk

My kids and grandkids had an awesome time. The home is beautiful, very clean, and large enough to accommodate 11 of us. The teenagers enjoyed the upstairs hangout space when they weren't on the lily pad, using the kayaks and paddleboard or fishing. The evening bonfire and smores were a great way to end a spectacular day with the entire family.

Clean, easy to walk due to level yards. Nice shade with lots of game and swim accessories (canoe and kayaks. Super nice pontoon with a lily pad for kids to play on. Owners responded promptly and politely to our questions and needs. Very nice people to deal with. The kitchen is nice and fully loaded, with TVs all over the place. Wi-Fi is also good. Pricey but worth it.

Perfect family getaway

We stayed here for a family gathering with my siblings and kids. There was plenty of space to spread out, the kids loved the upstairs bonus room. The beds were very comfortable for sleeping, and with multiple seating areas, we all found places to congregate. We rented the pontoon boat, and enjoyed every minute of our time on the lake. When questions came up, the owners were very quick to respond and very helpful. I highly recommend this home for group gatherings!

Family Fun

Great location! We enjoyed beautiful weather, sunsets and a quiet lake. There was lots of opportunity to enjoy the water, do some tubing and relax. Close enough to town where we were able to go grab a bite to eat or enjoy the local area zoo. Laura is easy to work with and communicates often. We had so much fun as a family just enjoying time together.

Fantasy location for a quiet Christmas Getaway

It was perfect. We utilized every room in the house. Everyone got their own sleeping space and we had enough room for gift opening, game playing, cookie baking, relaxing by the fireplace and enjoying the sunset views. We even got some ice fishing in and got plenty of keepers. We would definitely stay again and recommend it to anyone. Laura was a pleasure to work with.

Cozy and fun

Our family had a great time at the Hillman House. 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!!

Great Stay, Well Worth It

Beaytiful property inside and out. Cabin has new wood floors and everything is roomy and comfortable. Fishing was very good, had a fry with bluegill, bass and pike fillets.Used the pontoon for 3 days, highly recommended and the Lily Pad made it a lot of fun. Water was a little cool but this was early June, kids had a great timing wading and swimming and loved the loft in the house. Two grills (Weber and Blackstone) made it easy outdoor cooking and the ability to have a fire outside made great Smores. Overall, another great stay, our 2nd time around. Laura was an excellent host, very responsive to all our questions and texts.

Plan on returning

This large home on Platte Lake worked well for our group of individuals & couples from numerous families. Besides having 5 bedrooms and multiple living rooms, it had ample parking space. The kitchen was small, with limited counter space, but it worked. The views, especially the sunsets, out the living room window were amazing! The hosts were super helpful and got back to us right away. We plan to book it again next fall.
