We had a great time at Hilltop Hideaway, perfect base for exploring the Hayward area. Thanks for the use of all the kayaks and canoes-the lake is perfect for padddling! Everything in the cottage was functional and clean.

Cabin was perfect. Had everything we needed for us and the kids. We’ve stayed in a number cabins in similar settings and this was by far the nicest. It’s a cabin that you actually enjoy spending time in, not just a place you put up with because of the location. Had an amazing vacation and caught tons of fish.
