The Hilltop Hideaway on Little Long Lake.
About this cottage rental
Situated in Indiana, this attractive cottage for $189 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. This is a small, cozy cottage, with a huge view. Enjoy your morning coffee relaxing on the deck while watching the sunrise over the lake. The cottage has a full kitchen, dining area, living room, two bedrooms (one with a queen bed and one with a full/twin bunkbed), and a full bath. The sofa in the living room is a queen sleeper sofa. The maximum number of guests is 5. This is a true tiny house, but when you are at the lake you are there to enjoy the outdoors, and we have plenty of outdoors available :-) The kitchen is stocked with dinnerware, flatware, pots and pans, small appliances including coffeemaker (full pot and Keurig), toaster, mixer, etc. Bed linens, kitchen towels, bath and hand towels are provided (please bring your own beach towels). There is a Roku/Smart TV with Blu-ray DVD player in the living room and a Roku/Smart TV in the lakeside bedroom with the queen bed. The cottage is stocked with a variety of children and family games. If the nights are cool there is heat and if it gets too warm there is air conditioning. We upgraded to a high efficency mini-split heating/air conditioning system in 2024, eliminating the need for the window air conditioner. The Hilltop Hideaway is located at the end of the lane so there is almost no traffic and the cottage is positioned at the top of a hill that overlooks the lake. The front deck is the full width of the cottage and has railings and latching gates to keep the little ones (kids or dogs) contained. The deck has a patio table and chairs, as well as a propane grill (propane provided). Make use of the fire pit to enjoy evening campfires, roasting hot dogs, and consuming s'mores. The cottage faces to the east, and is overlooking the lake toward an undeveloped portion of the lake's shoreline, this adds the the natural beauty of the view of the lake. You will have a private 30’ dock where you can tie up your boat(s). Please let us know if you plan on bringing a boat or jetski. Note - The dock is removed around the end of Sept/early October and will be reinstalled in late April/early May. There is a very large sandy beach at the base of the hill, right in front of the cottage with a large swimming area that has a sandy bottom and a gradual slope. Our association has about 900 feet of shared shoreline. The owner's cottage is located next door and has two kayaks, a stand-up paddleboard, two paddle boats, a rowboat, and an Otter Island swim raft available for your enjoyment. The "water toys" are available normally from the end of April/early May through the end of Sept/early October. The swim raft is normally removed from the water in early Sept and put back in service around mid May. Little Long Lake is a 154-acre spring-fed lake that spans the IN/MI state line, with the lake about evenly split with half of the lake in Indiana and half in Michigan. There are times designated for high speed fun such as waterskiing, tubing, or wakeboarding and also no-wake times to allow for peaceful fishing or lazy cruises around the lake. The Michigan half of the lake’s high speed times are 11am-7:30pm, while the entire lake allows high speed from 1pm-4pm. There is a concrete public boat ramp on the MI side. Those that enjoy fishing regularly catch largemouth bass, bluegill, crappie, and perch. The WiFi in the area was recently upgraded to fiber. The Hilltop Hideaway now has 100meg internet. The Hilltop Hideaway is located in a quiet neighborhood, so we ask for no loud parties, and please observe quiet time after 10pm. There are two security cameras on the property, exterior only. They are both for our protection and yours. Please leave the cottage in the same condition that you found it. We purchased this cottage in January of 2019 and spent the spring remodeling the cottage, including a new kitchen, remodeled the bedrooms, replaced all woodwork, all doors, some windows, and freshly painted the entire interior. We understand that you might want to have friends visit for an afternoon at the lake, but at no time should there be more than a total of 8 people (total of registered guests and day visitors). We do welcome dogs as guests, there is a $50 pet fee (per stay, not per night or per dog, max of 2 dogs) and dogs must be on a leash when outside. We ask that dogs not be allowed to bark excessively as to not disturb the neighbors. Please observe the 10mph speed limit when driving on the roads/lanes in the subdivision.

Property was great. We came for a relaxing getaway on the lake, and we're not disappointed. The view and atmosphere were above our expectations. The cottage was clean, cozy and comfortable. The owners were a pleasure to work with. If I had to sum up our stay in one word it would be "blessing".

The inside of the cottage was well equipped with just what you need for an easy week. Shopping is restricted to a Dollar General, but no worries because if you forget kitchen staples or toiletries, they had extra. We especially loved the selection of games! Brad & Deb are very welcoming!! And, don’t miss going to the Amish Bakery.

This cabin is perfect for a getaway. Brad, Deb and Logan were wonderful hosts. The porch with gates was ideal for us with our dog and he LOVED it more than we did.
Check-in was very easy and Brad greeted us after we arrived and got settled. He let us know about the local area, recommended Pizza King (our favorite) and some activities in the area.
On Saturday, Deb told me her secret Amish store was open and did I want to go with her. I was like "YES" and off we went. I got the best strawberries, Carmel corn and the Sausage Cheese Bread that I'm still dreaming about.
Logan was a delight. He was so polite, introduced himself and shook our hands. He was very helpful for things we needed and even took our trash out as we were leaving.
We loved this place and we will definitely be back for a longer stay. We didn't get in the water, but it's a beautiful lake. The parade of boats at sunset was so much fun to watch.
The only thing we didn't expect was that there were a lot of people around during the day. It wasn't an issue. We met some great people and met some really cute dogs.

We enjoyed our relaxing stay at Brad and Deb’s place. Brad was a gracious host and even offered to take us out on a boat ride! The cottage was clean, well-stocked and perfect for a small group.

This cabin on the lake forces you to spend time with one another whether thats walking down to the lake, cooking, playing board games, or watching TV. I highly recommend this stay!

Nice quiet place, very clean. Only thing felt a little uneasy about all the cameras around. (Outside)Wanted to sit on the deck and talk with the sweetie but couldn’t do it after seeing the camera on the tree looking right at you

Cozy and clean cottage on the lake. We had a very nice time at this location. The owners were very communicative and we found everything as advertised! Games, fully stocked kitchen, bathroom tissue and more. The beds are especially comfortable. WIFI was a little weak. The TV would buffer if someone was using data on their phone and we couldn't use both the bedroom tv and living room tv at the same time. HOWEVER! Like I said, lot's of games to play and so that is what we did. The only thing that we didn't care for was the neighboring atmosphere with signs posted about "no dogs allowed off leash", "no barking" etc. And the fact that our dogs were kept on leash and quiet but there were two Brittany spaniels and two black/chocolate labs running all over the neighborhood and on the porch and steps where we were staying. They were exciting our dogs and we tried our best to keep our pups quiet. I realize that isn't anything under the owner's control. Just a warning for anyone needing to bring their pets along. But overall, we were very happy with how clean and nicely set up the cabin was. I think I would like to come back during summer months to play in the water ~ sans the dogs.

We had a great stay here and the hosts were great. We were able to add 2 nights onto our stay and was delighted. Beautiful fall weather and great lake views from their deck. Very private this time of year. The place was clean and all you need was available.

It was very nice. Very clean, peaceful, and the cottage had everything that we needed. The weather was a little windy so we didn't get to do much fishing. It was still nice to just get away.

Every part of our stay was perfect! Brad and Deb went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our stay. Booking and check in was very easy. Owners even offered turn by turn directions to avoid traffic and had firewood ready for us so we could enjoy the fire pit. The photos of the house online don't due it justice. House was updated,bright and very clean. Our favorite activity was using the available kayaks and exploring beautiful Long Lake. This was a perfect getaway for my wife and I to celebrate our anniversary and we even brought our dog Tucker. Can't wait to visit again!

Cabin living with all the luxuries of home! Amazing location and views . . . a quiet retreat for rest and relaxation! Perfect for a small family or couple! Lake access is steep climbing for us oldies but oh the beauty just sitting on the deck or upper yard is just beautiful! Can't wait to schedule another visit next year! Thank you Brad and Deb for sharing this hidden treasure on a hilltop! God bless you and all that stay at The Hilltop Hidewaway!

I cannot recommend this property enough. Perfect quick weekend getaway. Super clean, comfy, newly remodeled cabin. Reasonably priced and full of thoughtful amenities. Hosts are very friendly and accommodating. Plus, best of all- you can bring your fur baby for a small fee. We can’t wait to come back!!

This was our 2nd stay, and we will be back next year. Lots of swimming, paddle boating, kayaking, fishing, camp fires and smores fun for the family. We were going to find some things to do off site a few days, but the kids couldn't be pulled away from the lake. Clean, comfy and cozy cottage. Beautiful, peaceful and scenic setting in the woods on the lake.

The sofa bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on!!
I was so happy that Brad and Deb had kayaks, paddle boat, stand up paddle board, canoe, and raft for us to enjoy!! The lake was quiet and the kids loved being out on the water!!

Perfect for us
From the moment we arrived it was perfect. Honestly, we don't want to say how wonderful it was; because it will be hard for us to book again. We booked for 2023, before our vacation stay was over!

This property is a perfect little getaway! The cozy cabin is located on a beautiful lake with gorgeous views. The kitchen is well stocked & has most everything you might need - including a wonderful dual brew coffee pot! The bathroom has very nice towels & some extra toiletries if you forget something. The bedrooms are very nicely decorated, with great storage & have nice quality bedding. Although this cabin may be small, it is truly mighty!
The outdoor deck area was perfect for our dog as it is completely enclosed so he could freely enjoy the sights, sounds & smells! The property is beautifully treed with a slope down to the water. A wide variety of birds & squirrels were quite the entertainment! We also really enjoyed the paddle boat to explore the lake.
The hosts could not have been more helpful or friendly! They also suggested a local Amish Bakery that provided us with some fantastic treats during our stay!! We are looking forward to staying again soon!
