Stayed at Dream on a Hill because we had a family reunion in the area. The lodging was clean and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The host was friendly and was quick to respond to any messages.
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!
