Our 3 generations of family, ages 12-74, just returned to Hillman Hideaway for another 4 nights. Last summer was supposed to be a once in a lifetime vacation here for all of us together. Then last Christmas, our kids and grandkids all decided to come back. We did.
I learned to paddle board at 69 yrs old. We canoed and kayaked. The kids jumped on and off of the Lilly pad both from the pontoon or running off of the dock and jumping on to it in the rain.
We all played cards together at the picnic tables or on rainy days at that huge dining room table that held all 14 of us!
Most of our cooking was done on the blackstone or the campfire, but the kitchen works, too. We caught fish from the pontoon and in the evening the kids could catch fish from the dock or a kayak.
We sat around the fire using the wood the hosts provided and watched glorious sunsets over the lake. We relaxed in hammocks listening to loons calling as eagles soared and swooped to catch fish.
The cabin has plenty of room to spread out. The shed fridge was much appreciated, as well as the life jackets, fishing poles, and lots of water toys.
Laura was great to work with, answering any questions promptly. Jeremy too, wanting to make sure the pontoon was working for us. We’re glad we rented the pontoon. It’s beautiful.
Thank you for this slice of paradise!
