If you are searching for the perfect escape, look no further. This home is, without question, the ultimate retreat, and I mean that in every sense of the word.From the moment we arrived, we were completely swept away. The interior design is nothing short of exceptional, thoughtfully curated with a level of care and artistry you rarely encounter in a rental property. Every room felt intentional, every detail considered. Walking through the door felt like stepping into a fairytale. The atmosphere was so warm, so beautiful, and so serene that all of life's noise simply fell away. I felt deeply relaxed in a way I haven't in a very long time.This is genuinely a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and yet we are already planning our return. That says everything.The only small suggestion we would offer is to heat the pool. Modern solar heating options make this very achievable, and it would take an already incredible property to an entirely new level. A heated pool would be the perfect finishing touch to what is otherwise a flawless stay.We cannot recommend this home highly enough. Book it. You will not regret a single moment.

A Property that Needs to be Experienced

This is amazing property that offers a one-of-a-kind experience. Every time I had a opportunity to sit down and look, there was something new. This property is an absolute delight. The décor is something else, with an elephant in the great room and pirates greeting you in the loft and hanging from the ceiling. The house has a rustic atmosphere, but the amenities are modern, including three large screen TVs and Alexa managing the music. The kids spent most of their time in the pool, hot tub or the game room (which has a pool table, foosball and table tennis). We managed to learn some history of the property, which was really interesting. I wish there had been something at the house that provided a complete story of the property, I’m sure it would be appreciated by all. Our host was incredibly responsive, which added to the enjoyment of our stay.

The Shack on The Hill is everything as shown on the VRBO listing, and then some. The place is Eclectic, my family and the teens were engaged the entire time. This could easily be a movie set or place at Disneyland. And it’s located where views of the area are pretty relaxing 😎 Great Thanksgiving time away

Nice Place

The area is nice and beautiful. The views are amazing and the house is wonderful. The pool was extremely cold which made it difficult to swim. Also, some of the burners on the stove were not functioning making cooking inside a bit tricky. Overall, a very nice place that I would consider stayig at again.

Incredible property!

Hands down one of the coolest and unique properties you will ever encounter. Many cool features and the flow of the home is very well thought out. Here’s our experience: First stepping in the house, you’ll feel how much space there actually is. The floors are well maintained, clean and warm and the home smells pretty great! The sound system works for indoor and outdoors The kitchen is large with a reverse osmosis water drinking system. Plenty of pots, pans and dishware. Plenty of prep space for food. The stove top knobs are a bit difficult to turn, but once you figure them out they’re fairly easy to work with. there’s alot of space in the living room and bar. The outdoor space is incredible with a gas fire place that we utililized at nighttime. Hot tub is great! Unfortunately, pool isn’t heated but wouldn’t be a problem during summer heat. The outlook area is a great place to spend some quiet time. Upstairs bedrooms are great! All beds are comfy and clean. There are extra beds in 2 of the bedrooms that are not shown in the pics. Really unique features upstairs with some pirates hanging around. Overall, this is an incredible space with well thought out aesthetics and flow. Communication with owners are easy. Don’t pass up on this property!

Loved this property. We had three families and our trip was really amazing. The house is well equipped with everything and the pictures probably don't do justice to the stay experience. Wayne the house manager was amazing with the house tour. Nina, the new owner reached out to check on us and responded promptly to any of our queries.

Funnest house we have ever seen!

This property is likely going to the most interesting house we will ever stay in, in our entire lives! The decor is so fun! The property location is perfect, atop a hill but also very close to local amenities (grocery store, take-out options, downtown, the Lake). The children loved exploring the house and even more loved the pool. The view was amazing! There is no doubt that this house has (and will continue) provide many families with great memories.

The Shack on the Hill was much more impressive in person than online. The moment we got to the property we were in awe! At least every half hour someone would comment about how cool it was. It's so unique and fun! It has a great flow to the floor plan too so it makes it easy to socialize. We had a blast and can't wait to go back!

More like WONDERLAND Shack on the Hill!!

I wish I had the time to type out the novel length review this vacation home deserves! We took our family of 10 here for Labor Day weekend with the intent to spend most of the time at Clear Lake, but the amenities were so amazing at Shack on the Hill that we opted not to leave this private resort! Or as our kids would call it “Pirate Resort”! We couldn’t have found a more exciting and accommodating vacation home to have our family weekend getaway! From the huge beautiful resort style pool, to the breathtaking views, to the pirate fun house for the kids (and adults!), to our own private party stage and bar with disco ball, to the finishing touch of a rope swing, I really can’t think of one single thing I could add to this perfect vacation spot…other than maybe a pirate ship somewhere on the private acreage! And on top of ALL that…the owner, Brad, and property manager, Wayne, couldn’t have given us a warmer welcome! Thank you so much for the opportunity to stay at your AMAZING vacation home Brad!! We had a truly wonderful stay and we will count the days for our next booking! We also decided that as cool as the name “Shack on the Hill” is, this name does not do it justice! You need to add “WONDERLAND Shack on the Hill”😍! Cheers🍻, -The Verberne Family
