Great place to stay just off the snowmobile trail.
Property was clean and comfortable. Great access to the lake and we used the boat rental service which was amazing. Our stay was short but it was just what we were looking for. Originally we were going to bring our dog as it was a pet friendly place but it we decided not to. You would never know the place had pets in it. Very clean so the staff must take care when cleaning between visitors.
Everything was good except the swimming. Was advertised as a sandy beach shore and was anything but. The rest of the property was good.

Another amazing winter week in the Northwoods! We have worked with Hiller’s for many years & have never been disappointed. Excellent customer service, beautiful properties! Well stocked cabins both at Lost Paradise (previous vacations) & Knotty Pines. Everything we needed to cook & be comfortable for a week!
Very responsive to any questions I had. Plenty of boat and guest parking. Only 10 minutes from the grocery store. Cozy, clean and comfortable. Loved the second living room and bar for our extra supplies and coolers. Clean and stocked kitchen. Nice level yard and beautiful water access. Pull out couch and futon gave us plenty of options for visitors. Master bedroom was large enough for the portable crib for our grandbaby. Loved the gas fireplaces! Added ombionce and heat on a chilly morning with coffee.

Reviewer Comments:
Overall a good place to stay. The water smells awful...recommend a filter system or something. Layout is odd..have to lug everything up stairs or go to the other side of house to get luggage etc to bedrooms. Very weedy...very poor swimming by the pier...kids were disappointed. It was ok..the Pontoon we rented was very nice. We won't be back to this spot again tho...try another place.
This property was what I expected my Northwoods rental to be: not super up-to-date, but plenty adequate to get away from home and enjoy some time in nature. We booked the property due to the four seasons room, and that did not disappoint: even though the weather was chilly, it was nice to still be close to the lake and all the fall colors.
The property seemed pretty clean, although we found the dirty coffee pot tucked away in a closet.
They have been listening to some suggestions: for example, there were new boards in the steps going down to the lake. The pier could use an update, but that's likely a bigger future project. The kitchen could be stocked a little better, though we were able to cook everything we wanted to.
All in all, we had a great stay! We saw wildlife every day and had fun relaxing in the pretty Northwoods.

Reviewer Comments:
For the second year in a row we rented the Knotty Pines home on Found Lake for our Thanksgiving celebration. My family and I are once again very pleased in the lake home. It is so comfortable and cozy. Having a bar and play room on the first floor gives everyone a large area to call their own. My wife and dauhter like to read and get comfortable near the fire place and have a great view of the lake. My son-in-law and I enjoy watching the football games on the large bar TV while having a cold beverage and our grandson enjoys playing games and foosball in the downstairs recreation area. There is something for everyone in this home. The location is close to St. Germain with its supermarket, restaurant, shops and a very delightful tree lighting ceremony on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It is a fun place for everyone.

Reviewer Comments:
The location was great - we really enjoyed feeling a bit off grid, and the lake's fish population kept us entertained. The property itself was really nice and comfortable for our party of 5. We really loved the kitchen and the set up for eating. The "nook" in the front of the house was great for reading and enjoying the scenery. And we loved the fire pit. The only real knocks on Knotty Pines were the fact that it was a mostly carpeted property; I'm not a big fan of carpeting, although I know it isn't unusual. The steps going downstairs were also kind of "thin", which made it a bit uncomfortable for the person sleeping downstairs. Also would have been nice to have a fish-cleaning area, but again, these are all just personal preferences. The property wasn't completely cleaned either when we entered, but Hiller did allow us to come in early, so we could live with it. We would stay at the property again.

Reviewer Comments:
Perfect setting for a comfortable family Thanksgiving get-a-way! Maybe a bit Hallmark sounding but Immediately upon arriving we opened the truck doors and felt a huge sense of peace! Entering into the cabin each space was an additional surprise! The lower level had a secondary kitchen space that also hosted a FoosBall table (Would have been hours of fun but the dogs didn't like the family playing it for some reason!) The space was then follow up by a beautiful lower level living room with a pot belly fireplace, TV and large bar. Then you head upstairs and are mesmerized by the view from the open kitchen onto the lake! The kitchen was supplied with just about everything we needed to cook our Thanksgiving meal (we brought the food, spices and tupperware for afterward) The kids then quickly ran down the hall and called out their choice of one of the 3 beautifully decorated bedrooms. The open Sunroom ended up being a favorite of EVERYONE'S. To top off the blissful stay we drove to nearby Boulder Junction to experience yet another Hallmark-like event of Santa arriving and walking through town with Cocoa while looking around in the Shoppes! If its peace and comfort you're in search of ANY time of year....I Highly recommend this gorgeous rental!

Beautiful neighborhood but home needs updates.
Just a weekend getaway. Awesome that dogs are allowed on property. (Neighbors and our dog got off to a rough start. Not fun). Beautiful area but home had filthy carpet throughout. Staircase to lower level was was/is scary. Improvements need to be made for safety reasons. Will not return.

We had a fantastic time. The home exceeded our expectations. It was immaculate, well-appointed and spacious. We enjoyed the bar with its lake views while sipping old fashioneds and watching football. The four season room with the cozy fireplace was enjoyed by all. Our 6-year-old grandson thinks we should buy the place! Megan was fantastic!
We had a great vacation here. Rented a pontoon boat that was perfect. Waiting for us at the pier. Perfect to just relax with the family and reconnect. Only problem was no WiFi, but it looked like cable might have gotten cut by County road grass cutters. Not anyone's fault.
Would definitely recommend this home. Remote enough, but an easy 5 mile bike ride into St. Germain which was the second best thing next to the pontoon boat.
We will definitely rent from Hiller's again.
Thanks,
Denise and family
Comfortable but did not quite meet expectations in some areas, such as, no sandy beach and dining seating limited to a few people at a time. No easy access into main level.

Reviewer Comments:
Overall, the house was very comfortable and clean. There were a few minor things that we noticed like, clothes left behind from previous renters were in dresser drawers, a chair in the dining room had a sign saying it was "broken" dated 5/2021, a piece of patio furniture was broken, one of the beds was missing a crossbar on the frame so the mattress would fall crooked. The yard was nice for hanging out and playing games- our dog also loved running around it! The lake is beautiful - we had a great time boating, tubing, knee boarding and exploring the Island. There are nice hiking/biking trails close by as well. The most disappointing thing were the amount of weeds by the pier. We couldn't play in the water by the pier. The pictures on line did not show that at all. For me, that was the hardest thing. If you wanted to swim or float on something, you had to do it out in the lake where there were less weeds. If I would have known that ahead of time, I wouldn't have picked this property. I think it would be a good investment for the owners to clear the weeds and make it swim friendly.

This place was the cabin experience I was looking for. The visits by wildlife were fantastic. Bald eagles flying over the cabin and deer walking through the yard. The dog was so excited to see them. The lake views were wonderful.The sun room was a great place to sit and read a book or just look out at the lake. The home is a bit older but felt like a family place. We would definitely stay here again.

We've stayed here in the past. The addition of A/C by the new owners is a welcome bonus, but the cameras on prem are not! Supposedly they are only on when someone is not renting, but ... Also, a good deep cleaning and checking smoke alarm batteries and lights that are out (stairwell) is needed. All that said, we do enjoy the home and it's location.
