"We honeymooned on Big Clear Lake 40 years ago and relived the dream by staying at "Dream on a Hill". The location was great, the property very well maintained and the accommodations thoroughly modern and clean! Our host Steve was prompt in answering any of our questions which were few because all we needed to know was laid out so well! A HUGE bargain for the price - 5 Stars!"

"Our first off grid long weekend was absolutely beautiful! The cottage is cozy with fabulous amenities. The towels soft and fluffy, beds comfy, a wonderful greeting basket complete with a bottle of red! Even the fire pit was stocked! No problem with the fridge and we bought a camp stove toaster to make toast on the propane stove which we left for future guests. I used my hair dryer with no issue and never ran out of power. The description was spot on as well as the photos. The weekend did not disappoint at all! Hint, we brought battery operated lamps and votives which lit up the cottage at night giving a lovely ambiance. My cell phone provided music that I had downloaded while playing cards. The stars at night are incredible with no light pollution from towns or other cottages. Beautiful little cottage to get away from it all!"

"My family's weekend stay at this cottage was wonderful. The property has everything you could ask for, and the children loved the outdoor playground, and getting out on the lake. It didn't hurt to wake up in the morning to that gorgeous view, either! Our only regret was that we hadn't booked a longer stay - would definitely return for another visit!"

"This is such a cute property with an amazing view of the lake."

"This property and home was unbelievable! The pictures do not do it it justice, I've been telling all my friends and family about this and showing my photos of the unique home. The octagon shape with the fireplace as the centre of the main room is beautiful. When we first arrived it felt like an adventure to learn the home. Everything you need is there, so not to worry if you forget something. Communication with Tim was great. 10/10 recommend, we will be back! (next with our ATVs/ORVs as the trails aren't too far away)"

"Nice for a night. "

"A wonderful place to stay and enjoy nature. A beautiful cabin in the woods on the lake. "

"Very peaceful retreat , owners are excellent and would recomend to anyone with or without kids who just want to get away from it all ."

"We enjoyed our short stay in this clean, comfortable and spacious cottage. The indoor fireplace was a definite bonus on a rainy day and the cool evenings."
