Private Lakefront Home on Compass Lake! Private Dock! Quiet Family Escape

This was a last minute to decision to come home to visit family for the holidays. The Hillen house was an offered a wonderful place to relax while also close enough to attend family events in the area. The home was clean, the view lake view was amazing. It would be a terrific place in the summer.

We had a WONDERFUL time! The Host and the Property Manager were super responsive to any questions we had - we will Definitely be back!I wouldn't change anything but I would suggest perhaps having at least one hair blow dryer available and some throw blankets would be nice.

This is our 4th year staying a week at the Hillen House and it is the absolute highlight of our Summer every year! The house has every amenity you could think of and is always super clean. The layout of the house is ideal for a big group and the outdoor space is the best part. Nothing beats the sunset views from the swing on the dock or the rocking chairs on the back porch. We love our time at Compass Lake and The Hillen House!

Our family was extremely happy with our accommodations at Hillen House during the week of the 4th of July. When we arrived, we were greeted by the property manager and given a full, guided-tour of the property. The property manager was friendly and informative as he told us about the house, the lake and the surrounding area. The house is a unique design with a wonderful breezeway between the two sides. We enjoyed spending time just sitting in the breezeway looking out over the beautiful lake. The setting feels very private and we didn't feel crowded at all, whether we were inside or outside. And speaking of outside, if you have a boat and you like watersports or fishing, it really doesn't get any better than this. The dock and boathouse are outstanding and there is a nice, sandy-bottom swimming area with easy access into and out of the water. High-quality composite decking along with covered areas to relax and enjoy the view made the dock one of our favorite areas. Also, we were very impressed that the owners had installed an electrical safety system that monitors the water around the dock and gives off a warning in the event there is a dangerous electrical current. This is a wonderful safety system to protect swimmers or anyone in the water around the dock. The home is well furnished and the beds were very comfortable. The design of the house allows everyone to easily gather together or retreat to their separate spaces for privacy. The kitchen is nicely equipped and there is a large dining room table to gather around for eating or playing games. Compass Lake is very nice and there are wonderful views from most areas of the house. Overall, it was a fantastic place to stay and we hope to be able to return for another relaxing vacation!
