Stayed 3 days ending in February, 2024
Hillside Retreat was absolutley perfect for our family ski weekend! We loved being able to ski in and ski out. The house was spotless, the kitchen was well stocked with anything we could have needed for cooking large meals, and the propert was overall very well maintained. There were plenty of sleeping options for all and it was so nice to have multiple private bathrooms for guests. We enjoyed the hot tub each night after a long day of skiing. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

We had a delightful time at the Hillside Retreat with family. Although we ran out of time to use the fire pit it was a nice addition. There was plenty of seating for meals and the kitchen was well equipped. We enjoyed being able to play corn hole and putt putt down at the Highlands. We signed up for horseback riding, mountain biking, the zipline, and attended a delightful show with the Young Americans. We also went to Boyne Mountain for the indoor waterpark on a rainy day. Petoskey State Park is nearby and has a nice beach and hiking trails. The only negative was the washing machine which needs to be replaced.

This was our third year at the property and have mostly lucked out on weather each year. Great backyard for a fire, dip in hot tub, and lots of room for kids of all ages to setup yard games, etc. The inside was clean, and we noticed some improvements from previous years - TV moved above fireplace allowed for more seating and better visibility. Host was quick to respond to a couple questions and very accommodating! None of our stays have been during snow season, but would make for a great ski trip being on the hill. Good for hiking around while we were there.

Great home! Our large family enjoyed all the amenities that the home offered. We adults love the hot tub. The kids enjoyed the fire pit and star gazing at night.<br/><br/>The house is a short drive to Boyne Highland resort and the ski lift. The chair lift was an amazing experience.<br/><br/>We had the opportunity to spend the day at Mackinaw Island. A short drive from the house. <br/><br/>Thanks for the helping us build memories in upper Michigan!

We had a wonderful experience in the house. There is a fully stocked kitchen with plenty plates, cups, and cookware! The bedrooms were spacious for all 8 adults, and the kids had their own bunk beds. Beds were comfortable. The house was very clean upon our arrival. We thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor space, from the porch, outdoor dining table, the hot tub, and the firepit. There was plenty of room in the back yard for outdoor games. Plus the kids had tons of fun exploring in the woods. Can't recommend this house enough!
