Hillis House | Lakefront house in Arbor Vitae w/water toys & two kitchens

Hillis House

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

A serene escape from the city, Hillis House overlooks a gleaming lakeshore. Under the warm Wisconsin sunshine, glide across the water on the provided kayak and paddleboard, play a yard game, or fish off the dock. During the colder months, this area is wonderful for snowmobiling, and your rigs can be parked in the home's garage - safe and secure.

Inside, kick back and warm up in front of the heat of the stone gas fireplace. Steps away, the full kitchen positively gleams with its granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and wooden cabinetry. Meals can be enjoyed as a family at the in-kitchen dining table or alfresco on the picnic table.

Adorned with wilderness-themed mementos, each of the bedrooms offer airy spots to rest your head. Downstairs, a second kitchen, a second fireplace, a dart board, a wet bar, and a seating area are ready to host hours of entertainment. A designated work desk, separate washer/dryer, and central air-conditioning round out the home's conveniences.

As the sun begins to set over the water, gather around the firepit for gooey s'mores and campfire stories.

Away from your stay, the adventure continues at Torpy Park, Min-Aqua Bats Water Ski Show, Wildwood Wildlife Park Zoo & Safari, and Northwoods Zip Line Adventure Tours.
