Awesome property
This house was spectacular! It was laid out nicely with privacy for everyone. The kitchen had everything we needed…including spices…sometimes we have had to buy even salt and pepper at other houses. The basement game room had more games than we could get to in just 1 week. If there was any negative, it would be crossing a 55 mph road to get to the dock. Overall, we were very happy!

Amazing!!!
The Hilltop Log Lodge is an incredible log home with tons of space. Lots of room to spread out and enjoy a variety of activities. The lodge is very well-appointed with all the amenities you could possibly need. Everything was extremely clean. Beds were very comfortable with quality bed linens. This was one of the nicest VRBO's we have ever stayed in. Would definitely stay again! You will not be disappointed with a stay at Hilltop Log Lodge!!

Family weekend
Property is amazing. Large high-end log cabin with great spaces and nice comfortable furniture. Bedrooms very nice. We were a party of 8 and it was just right size-wise. Loved the outdoor fire circle. Perfect base of operations for all the adventure that Sutton’s Bay and Travers City have to offer…biking, hiking, views, wineries, breweries, restaurants. We’ll be back!
