Welcome to Hillside Retreat — A Private Estate Getaway in the Heart of Minnesota’s Lake Country

Escape to Hillside Retreat, a secluded estate nestled on 20 acres of towering pines and serene woodlands in the beautiful Brainerd Lakes Area. Whether you’re gathering the whole family, reconnecting with lifelong friends, hosting a golf trip, or leading a wellness retreat, this exceptional property was made for moments that matter.

A Distinctive Northwoods Haven!
This thoughtfully designed 4,000+ square foot estate balances the distinctive character of a large Northwoods residence complemented by character with refined, modern amenities. With room to comfortably accommodate up to 19 guests (16 adults max), you’ll find generous gathering spaces, inviting bedrooms, and private nooks for quiet moments — all infused with warm, timeless style.

Your Own Private Playground in the Woods!
Surrounded by pristine Minnesota forest, Hillside Retreat invites you to unplug and recharge. Stroll miles of wooded trails, relax poolside with a drink in hand, share stories around a crackling fire under the stars, or catch a glimpse of passing deer while sipping your morning coffee on the Front Porch.
