We had a fabulous week at Camp Hillmania! The check in was super easy and the renters were extremely easy to communicate with and responsive. The weather didn’t cooperate the first few days but our kids didn’t run out of things to do in the house. Movies, video games, card games, and countless hours of billiards kept them happy. Then it was out on the lake for the fun. We met loons, snakes, and caught a bunch of fish. The house was very comfortable and we felt at home and relaxed. The hot tub was fabulous and a special treat for us. I would highly recommend this camp for anyone who wants a truly quiet, relaxing, experience on Lake Thompson.

I would love to tell you this place was awful to keep it a secret but that would be selfish .. it was amazing. The hosts were incredibly responsive and provided everything we needed and more. The hosts went above and beyond to ensure that our vacation was fantastic! The house was cozy enough to reconnect with our adult daughters but had plenty of room to give everyone their space. Beds were extremely comfortable (trust me when I say we have had our share of awful mattresses over the years) . The hot tub was alot of fun and helped us to unwind. The water was crystal clear and because we were behind the island it was quiet and peaceful. Dish Washer and washer and dryer were a welcome site as we didn't leave with any dirty laundry :) Can't wait to go back.

This is my 2nd time renting with Morgan, she is fantastic. Excellent communication, and have never had a single issue. Thompson lake is beautiful and perfect for our annual fishing trip. We had two bass boats with plenty of parking for our trailers and room on the dock. The house is stocked with everything you could need need. Screened in porch for dinner is a bonus and we used it every night. I would highly recommend for families w/ kids or just adults, plenty of room inside and out.

Cozy with beautiful lake access and gorgeous views. Would stay again in a heartbeat

Upon arrival, the property is as good as described or better. Amazing view of the lake, all the amenities that anyone could want, and a welcome book that is very informative and helpful. Totaly enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and checkout was a breeze. Wonderful experience!!

The entire process was easy peasy! Great home, great view, easy access, peaceful!

We needed a cozy , quiet spot to get away for the Thanksgiving holiday and this was perfect. Cozy with enough space to spread out, fun games and the Hot Tub was a total joy. Relaxing by the lake , having our dogs along and spotting the Eagle made the stay complete . Thank you !

At 7:00 PM on our second night, every drain in the house started to erupt with sewage. The shower drain, the bathroom sink drain, and the downstairs tub were all ejecting black, cloudy water. Worse, the kitchen sink was shooting out sewage with enough force that the entire sink, and everything in it, was soon covered in sewage. We called the owners and after some troubleshooting, they offered to pay for a nearby hotel and claimed that the plumber told them the last guests must have flushed something they shouldn’t have. We asked if there was something in the basement we could shut off to stop the drains overflowing, and were told not to touch anything, so we didn’t. According to them, because this happened on a Sunday night, no plumbers could come by so there wouldn’t be a fix until the following day (at the earliest). Our belongings were getting covered in sewage. It was 8 pm on a Sunday night and we were 4 hours from home. We decided to gather up everything that hadn’t been touched by sewage and find new accommodations for the week, knowing that even if the plumbing was fixed, the house would need to be cleaned and that would not happen quickly. The next day, the owners called because we had found new accommodations, then tried to charge us for the first night AND the hotel stay we didn’t use, as well as refusing to refund fees. At this point, all drains were ejecting sewage for at least 12 hours and the owners stated that they were cancelling their emergency plumber because we had left, to save money. The owners had very little urgency around it, and primarily seemed irritated with us for finding a new place to stay instead of waiting for news in the morning. We encouraged them to still have someone come out that day because the situation was bad, and we were worried about their house. Now, after our trip, we are back home and they claim to have refunded the full trip but we are still missing over $1000. When we inquired about the difference, the owners threatened to take our deposit to pay for the damages to their house and accused us of flushing “wipes” down the toilet, completely contrary to what they told us on the phone, when they said a previous guest did it. If the owners hadn’t handled this situation so poorly, I wouldn’t have left this review (sh** happens, after all). It was the way the owners handled the situation that earned them 1 star.

Very comfortable property, we felt right at home. Homeowner was available for questions via text , that was much appreciated. We loved that we could bring our dog and he also felt welcome and at home. the lake was beautiful, the timing for the Foliage was perfect.

We loved the house. Dog friendly. The indoor fireplace was great for rainy days. The kitchen was well equipped for some fancy cookers. It was perfect 🥰

Camp Hillmania had everything we needed and more. The location was ideal for us and our 2 furbabies. Listening to the Loons early morning and late afternoon was a constant reminder of why we chose to spend a few days by the lake. Morgan was responsive from the time we booked until the day we left.

We just completed our stay on August 20, 2022. It was a fun time for everyone in our extended family. We had two parts of our family stay on consecutive weeks. Everyone had a great time and the amenities for our teens and adults were spot on, especially the kayaks, corn hole and hot tub. We rented a pontoon boat and were able to swim and go tubing every day from the boat on the main part of the lake. Only downside was how shallow the water was in front of the house making swimming there impossible and how we had to take the boat very carefully through a weed and tree stump patch to get to the dock. On the up side, the house was fully supplied with all our needs and Morgan and Aaron were very accommodating and always answered our questions and concerns immediately. All in all, it was a beautiful setting and a marvelous two weeks.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hillmania during this recent heat wave in Maine. Home was perfect for our needs. Teen sons loved the downstairs rec room. Only wished the lake frontage was deep water instead of sand bar to allow swimming right at the house, but the beach across the lake was easily accessible by kayak/canoe or car. Owners were quick to answer any questions.

The house is spacious and had everything we needed for a group of 6. The beds were very comfortable and the AC was so helpful when the temps hit the 90s. The screen porch was great for meals, game nights and sing alongs! Kayacking was wonderful and sighting a Loon pair with their baby chick was a bonus. The lake front is beautiful, but the water is shallow. Not great for swimming, but this is probably not an issue if you have a boat. We kayaked across to the public beach, for swimming. Overall, it was a fun and relaxing week. Morgan (the owner) was very responsive and helpful.

“I almost don’t want to leave this review so no one will steal our week!! But boy, what a gem of a place this is. The house was so comfortable we didn’t want or need for anything. It is well-appointed with the basics (the kitchen had everything we needed!) all of the bedrooms were comfortable, an adorable eating area with a window seat that even has a step stool for the puppies! There are two comfortable spaces for TV watching (upstairs and downstairs..ideal if you bring kids!) pool table, LOTS of games, DVDs, and the outdoor amenities..wow. A huge screened in porch that lets you enjoy the outdoors but keeps you away from bugs and rain (we had all our meals there!!) a huge, beautiful gated deck that our dogs could enjoy with us, and a slider to the deck right off the main bedroom…and a glorious HOTTUB that we all enjoyed. And as a nice little “extra” we enjoyed the deck at night with the soft glow of the string lights. We enjoyed kayaking with the loons, floating on the lake, and the last night we enjoyed s’mores at the firepit! And don’t think we didn’t enjoy the sunrise with our coffee from both the deck *and* the dock. We truly didn’t want to leave. When we are on vacation, we are often looking for things to do in the area because eventually we get bored at the house. Not this time! I could have stayed for a month. Thank you, Morgan and Aaron, for being real-time responsive when we had some minor questions, and for sharing your home with us! We can’t wait to come back.” The Bolton Bunch”

Great stay at Hillmania! We enjoyed the shallow wading off the dock for our young son. The lake is large, and boat traffic seemed fairly tame at this point in the year. We canoed and kayaked around the area. Dogs being allowed was a huge plus. And the owner was super responsive when we had a question. Thanks again!

This property has everything you need - beautiful views, lakefront, well appointed and tons of great amenities. Morgan is a great hostess. She is very responsive and checks in to make sure you have what you need. We will be coming back to this place in the future!

Morgan’s home was perfect! Ready for family attending Bates Graduation. Special amenities made our stay easy with a busy schedule. Our dogs enjoyed the peaceful walks near the Lake.

We had such a good time! This place was perfect and had everything we needed. The views were amazing, neighborhood was quiet and Morgan was absolutely amazing. She responded very timely to any questions we had and went above and beyond to make our experience great. We will definitely be coming back as long as she will have us!

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a week and we lived the place. Very home like feel. We had family and friends over and plenty of thing for all ages to be entertained. Great place to stay at for a getaway.

What a beautifully cozy place to spend a few relaxing days!

I believe this house would be much better in summer as there's just one place to lounge, be warm, and look at the beautiful frozen lake and that is in the hot tub. The only inside chair thats facing the lake, is one wooden kitchen chair. During the warmer months, I could see how the deck and screened in porch would provide more of that pretty lake view this property has to offer. The Hosts have done a fabulous job, but the house design wasn't ideal for us as a winter retreat.

We loved the hot tub and pool table! Very responsive host

Super relaxing stay, everything was good.

This is first time looking specifically for a place that takes dogs. Loved it and it worked out great for my additional family members that joined us.

Great experience. Would love to go back in the summer to experience the lake more.

Easy to rent thru VRBO. House location excellent easy to get to family wedding site. Enjoyed the ducks & geese

I was able to get in touch with Morgan about our arrival, she is very accommodating

We wanted a quiet getaway up north and that's exactly what we got. Everything was as advertised with this place. The jacuzzi, the fire pit, the string lights in the backyard. Everything was perfect. Check in was a breeze. All we needed was a code to get in the front door. Morgan even notified us on check in day that the house was ready a little earlier than expected if we wanted to plan ahead. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone looking for some relaxing down-time right on a lake.
