foosball
2 smart TVs
disc golf
kickball field
fire pit
96 foot dock
6 stand up paddle boards

Kitchen includes 2 refrigerators, plenty of storage and cookware, a 36" electric stove, microwave, and a dishwasher to make cleanup go faster.

6 bathrooms, 4 with walk in showers, and plenty of white cotton towels, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Plus another shower in the sauna area.

A large yoga or movement room on the second floor overlooks the beautiful lake, with 15 yoga mats and a few other props included.

There's also a cozy media room with big screen TV and streaming services set up. Plus a large all purpose "creative" room, great for art projects or board games, and we include basic art supplies and a variety of board games and puzzles for guests to use. Additionally there's a smaller sitting room for small groups to gather or for individuals to relax away from the larger group.
In the walk-out basement you'll find a game room with a pool table, foosball, a big TV and a couch to lounge on. There are also several windows for lots of natural light and a door out to the lake side of the property. Next to the game room is the sauna area with an additional shower, sink, and a stacked washer and dryer along with laundry detergent.

The property sits behind a small church that's no longer being used regularly and has 800 feet of shoreline on a small lake with minimal boat traffic. A canoe is available along with six stand up paddle boards, and there is a 96 foot dock with a small bench for relaxing. The lake is great for fishing, and we have a small beach area to wade into the water alongside the dock. We're clearing the plant life on one side of the dock to keep a nice swimming area, and the depth stays around 4-5 feet all the way out past the end of the dock.
Use the giant grassy field for outdoor games or disc golf -- we have four holes set up and several discs for guests to use. Across the field is our field house with an indoor pickle ball court set up for guests to use during their stay. There's also a bar area and bathrooms in that building, along with a bluetooth sound system for playing music from your devices. Wi-fi is strong in both buildings.

The Hillman House was amazing place for our multigenerational family reunion. Lots of space to connect, and room for everyone to eat together at the extended size kitchen table. Large number of private bedrooms to accommodate all is very unusual to find and beds were very comfortable with quality linens. Had lots of fun in the indoor gym playing pickleball and other games. The paddleboards were great for on the lake and there was a nice sandy beach area for the little kiddos to play. Can't say enough about this place, even better than the pictures!

We loved our reunion weekend. The house easily accomodated our extended family of 22 people. We played pickle ball, fished, played games, cooked a ton, had a craft night and generally just played together. We had an amazing time and can’t wait to cone back! If you aren’t an early riser, bring eye shades otherwise everything you could need was there.

This location was perfect for a board of directors retreat! It was secluded enough that we could get away from our daily lives to focus on our work but there was still plenty to do in the area. The space was large and had several places for group gatherings and small areas for smaller groups of people to meet and work. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. You could tell that a lot of work had been put in to make this place updated and welcoming.

The Hillman Retreat House was perfect for our team bonding trip this year. Plenty of room for all the players, coaches and chaperones. A nice big kitchen for making meals. Loved the large table so everyone could eat together. The clincher for our group was the many large spaces for doing activities. We will be back to this great property.

We don’t want to give a glowing review because we don’t want to compete against others when we try to rent this property again. IT.WAS.FABULOUS! Our family (21 adults and 3 kiddos from Alaska to North Carolina, New Mexico to MN) LOVED this property. We played endless pickleball games, held a Pickleball tournament, used the paddle boards for jousting, held rousing foosball and billiards competitions, spent countless hours laughing and talking in the spacious kitchen (including a hymn sing), and other sitting areas. DON’T come to this place if you want to be bored. And don’t interfere with our plans to rent it again!

My siblings and our children used this house for a long weekend. There was an incredible amount of space for us all to be able to spread out when we wanted. There were also large rooms for us to gather together. We enjoyed all being able to eat together, and we enjoyed all being able to use the craft room to play board games. There were plenty of activities inside (including the field house) for us to use when the weather wasn't great. When the weather was great, we enjoyed getting on the lake and using the included canoe and paddle board. Everything was clean and worked well. The house was also stocked well with all supplies we needed for cooking and entertainment. Lilly was great about communicating with us and answering any questions. I would highly recommend this property!

Title: A Perfect Getaway with Unforgettable Activities and an Incredible Host! Review: We recently had the most incredible experience during our stay at the charming Vrbo property. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by an exceptional host who went above and beyond to ensure our vacation was nothing short of extraordinary. One of the highlights of our stay was the wide range of activities available to us. As avid fishing enthusiasts, we were thrilled to find that the fishing in the area was fantastic. We spent countless hours casting our lines and reeling in some impressive catches. We indulged in the freshest and most delicious fish. But the excitement didn't stop there. The property also boasted amenities that catered to all of our interests. We spent countless hours playing frisbee golf, enjoying friendly competitions and laughter-filled moments. The pickleball court provided endless entertainment, and we couldn't resist challenging each other to spirited matches. As the sun set, we gathered around the inviting fire pit for unforgettable evenings. And what a stroke of luck! On one particularly clear night, we were treated to a breathtaking display of the northern lights dancing across the sky while we sat mesmerized by the warmth of the fire Furthermore, the host's attention to detail and genuine hospitality truly set this experience apart. They were readily available to answer any questions, offer recommendations, and ensure our every need was met.
