REVIEWS
"I stayed at the Hilltop Retreat for my wedding weekend, and it was the most fun and amazing weekend of my life. My bridal party was obsessed with the views from the house. We were able to walk to the beach, or sit on the porch and watch the waves crashing. It was so peaceful and incredible. Even amazing views from the bedrooms. 10/10 would stay again."
Kaela G.
"We had a wonderful time staying at this rental. Gorgeous views of Lake Michigan and a short walk to the beach. Walkable distance to downtown and lots to do. We would definitely come back."
Jenny P.
"Second time renting. How was just as described and very clean. Booking again for next year !"
