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!

Really unique experience
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. Already shared the listing with so many of our friends

Was hoping for a little getaway after thanksgiving and what a pleasant surprise. For once the place is better than the photos. Everything is so clean. So well maintained. The property is gorgeous! Already talking about coming back. So much fun. The host was so accommodating. Wayne gave us a great tour and we felt at home. Great town. Went to the Dickens festival and hung out with the locals.

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! Wayne was amazing too in explaining all the amenities for us.

Amazing funky house that suits all ages.
The owner of this house “Shack On The Hill” must have a superb taste on putting things together which combined with location,theme,and fantasy dreams.Three nights staying at Shack has passed by so fast I wish I could stay even longer since my niece and nephew enjoyed everything around them;swinging ropes,swinging pool,and the hot tub.And most of all the owner and the caretaker Brad and Wayne are so nice and very helpful and easy to reach..We will be back again soon.

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

Exactly what we needed
The pictures really don't do it justice - a big interior space, full of adventurous decor (pirates! elephant!), a great kitchen, a fantastic bar lounge. Outside, there was almost never a moment when someone wasn't in the pool or hot tubs. Lots of outdoor seating, fire pits, grills and a griddle. We had a stellar time, and hope to return again and again.

Fun and Relaxing stay
We rented this property for my daughter’s 11th birthday. She brought a friend with her. The girls had a great time. The Shack is really close to the lake and the town. It has AC which is great cuz it was hot this weekend. The pool is great and the property itself is huge so the kids had a lot to do. Wayne, the property manager and Brad the owner are amazing to communicate with. The only downside is because of its remote location, internet is spotty… but it worked out great because it prevented me from checking work emails. So it’s not a real downside since we had a lot of QT with no screens. We had a great time and will likely rent this place again. ☺️

We usually go on a houseboat trip, but this year we decided to rent a house. We couldn't be more pleased with this house. The staff were friendly, helpful, and very accommodating. The views and vintage antiques all around the house and property kept us intrigued and amused all weekend long. We would highly recommend this house, and hope to return for our trip again next year.
