This house was the perfect setup for our family to be together in one big room to eat, play games and just hang out. We made use of the ping pong table and dart board and enjoyed sitting around the campfire in the evenings. It was very clean and nicely stocked. I would definitely recommend to any group. We had a really nice weekend!

We had a wonderful family weekend get away! We could not have asked for better communication and recommendations for fun activities and great food. The online manual was a super helpful tool for planning food and fun activities appealing to the whole group.
The cabin was beautiful and clean. My nephews enjoyed the game room. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could think of. We were able to relax and enjoy each others company around the fire pit at night.

The home is even nicer than the pictures! It was perfect for our 3 generations to gather to celebrate a milestone birthday. Close to hiking, vineyards, and orchards. The home had all of the amenities needed. We will definitely be back.

Simply outstanding property. Saw picture of cabin on VRBO but it’s one of those instances where you must see to believe. I am 70 years old and my son and his friends asked me to join them for four days to celebrate their college graduation and all getting commissioned as 2nd Lieutenants in the military (5 Air Force & 2 Army). Plenty of outdoor space to play flag football(I can still hang), spikeball and corn hole. Hiking trails nearby. Indoors, we had ping pong, darts and to the delight and surprise of the boys, video arcade with LOTS of games. With 4 bedrooms and 4 baths, the cabin was spacious to accommodate all 8 of us. Large living room/ dining room/ kitchen. Had indoor fireplace but did not use. The fire pit area was great and a great place to hang out. The surrounding area was wooded and beautiful. Already thinking of bringing wife and my other children for a stay. We did lose power for a little over an hour one day due to thunderstorms but quick communication with Ashlyn kept us informed of our status. Thank you Hartline Cabins. We will come back

We "stayed in" for a low key "relax and refresh retreat" with family, and enjoyed the living room with fireplace and porches. Communication was superb. Location is easy to get to with a rural feel and city amenities within easy reach. The family agreed we would love to return.

It is a beautiful property and the property manager was very helpful. I had a great experience.

The Cabin was very clean and comfortable. My kids loved the ping pong table and games in the basement. The Gentleman’s lounge was the perfect spot to hang out. We would definitely stay here again.

This is the best place that I have stayed at. The interaction with the host was delightful. Far and above the best stocked kitchen I have seen. The first night of the stay we had a stellar view of a meteor shower. We will be staying here or at another one of Allison’s properties again.

This house was stunning and was the perfect place to reset after a long week. Perfectly located. This is also the cleanest place we have rented on VRBO. The fireplace is the perfect touch.

A gem of a rental❗️
Photos are spot-on.
Great space. Glorious fall foliage setting too.
House is well equipped and suitable for anyone; couples, groups or families with kiddos.
Our group of 6 enjoyed all of the house amenities ( especially the outside fire-pit area), wine country and the nearby casino.
Highly recommend a stay in this well appointed place❗️

We were looking for a quiet getaway for our family. It ended up raining while we were there but with the arcade games and other games on the lower level we were still able to enjoy ourselves and have an amazing time. We really enjoyed ourselves and felt right at home.

We had a wonderful family get away seeing the sights around Giant City State Park. We enjoyed hiking the trails and being together. This cabin is beautiful, clean, spacious and just as pictured. From the moment we arrived we were happy with our decision to stay at Hartline Hill Cabin. The game room was a fun for our granddaughters. We were very comfortable, had plenty of room and it was perfectly clean. We would stay here again, if ever back in this area. It was close to everything and Allison and Ashlyn were easy to communicate with. The night sky is spectacular!!

Very nice cabin! We loved our stay there. We really appreciated the welcome website with all the information to help improve our time there.

The cabin was beautiful and stocked nicely with everything you need. The surroundings were peaceful and tucked away from the noise of the city. However, it was located within minutes of wineries, eateries, and more. We had a great stay and would recommend it to anyone needing a lovely retreat.

We enjoyed our stay at this property! It was very clean and well stocked! The space worked well for our party of 6. We liked having coffee on the front deck in the morning and drinks on the back deck at night .
The location was nice for that rural feel but groceries and pizza were less than 15 minutes away. We would stay here again.

This house was perfect for our family of 7…plus our two dogs! It was comfortable, spacious and great to come back to after a long day of exploring and hiking.

A little confusion with the door code, which was quickly resolved, but everything else was in fine order. Plenty of room to spread out and relax. This is a beautiful home and property, plenty of outdoor exploring to do around the area as well. Overall we had an enjoyable, excellent experience
