About this house rental
Summary:
The Hill House is a unique lakeside gem: a forested three acre hilltop retreat perched above clean, lovely Turtle Lake. It is 10 minutes from restaurants, 30 minutes from Detroit Lakes, 45 minutes from Fargo, and 3.5 hours from the Twin Cities.
The Space:
This spacious lake house sleeps 11 in 8 beds (1 king, 2 queen, 3 twin, 2 twin upper bunks) across four bedrooms named after Scandinavian countries. A 12th person can spend the night using the roll-away bed or couches (all new). (Groups of more than 15 during the day require advance permission.)
-Norway Room: 1 King Bed
-Iceland Room: 2 Twin Beds
-Sweden Room: 1 Queen Bed
-Denmark Room: 2 bunk beds (one twin over twin and one twin over queen)
The house was updated in 2022-23. It has two full baths (one with a bathtub/shower, one with just a shower), a large kitchen, W/D, dishwasher, wifi, and two new smart TVs.
Relax on two second-floor decks: one to the east for sunrise through the forest, one to the west for gorgeous nightly sunsets over the lake.
Turtle Lake is ideal for swimming, fishing, and boating. Public access is nearby. Bring your boat and kayaks!
Roast marshmallows and stare up at the cathedral-like oak canopy above the fire pit. Along with the grill, the fire pit overlooks the lake and its spectacular evening hues.
In autumn and winter, curl up by two indoor fireplaces. Very cozy in the winter, this lake retreat offers great cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and ice fishing. Detroit Mountain is a 30-minute drive away and offers downhill skiing and tubing.
The Hill House is quiet and secluded. It has a 500-foot private wild shoreline, with forest on two other sides. Nestled in the woods at the end of a quiet road, there is zero traffic. The lawn is massive. A magical winding path leads down the rustic hillside to the new dock. Pause at the towering Cottonwood tree to watch Bald Eagles roost and fish. Walk the hilltop Edge Walk at dusk, and then stargaze in the open embrace of your own private meadow.
Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the entire property for the duration of their stay, with the exception of a few locked storage areas.
The Neighborhood:
Turtle Lake is a quiet lake that is an easy drive from Fargo (45 min), Detroit Lakes (30 min), and 10 minutes from restaurants and convenience stores.
Getting Around:
You'll need to drive here, but there is plenty of room for parking for several vehicles. The boat access for the lake is on the north side of the lake. Follow the signs at the turn off for the cabin.
Interaction with Guests:
Your host, Noah, is available before and during your stay via message, text, or cell.

10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2026
We were a group of Friends from High School and we have been getting together for the last few years. The location of the property was kind of in the middle of where we all lived. The house was well kept and clean, plenty of room for the group. Total was 7, but only 4 actually stayed the nites we were there. The kitchen/dining area had everything that you could possibly need..not that a group of older guys are chefs! The location was nice and quiet and the neighbors on the way in were friendly and waved and smiled. The checkin process was simple and easy. Got into the place with no issues. Noah was very good at communicating with me. The only problem was me not being a cell phone tech guy! I missed some communication because I don't do e-mail on my phone! When I got home I saw missed e-mails and explained. Noah was understanding. Our group really enjoyed this place and won't hesitate to stay there again!

We had a blast at the Hill House! Our group had ten people, including four kids ages 3 to 9, who loved swimming in the lake. When we weren't in the lake, there were lots of board games, books and puzzles. Adults appreciated the well stocked kitchen, good mattresses, and nice linens. This is the second time we've stayed at one of Noah's houses, all the little extras, providing soap, shampoo, towels, spices, makes our cross country trip much less stressful! The house is spacious, with plenty of seating in multiple areas, which facilitates socializing or a little quiet time. All around great week at the Hill House!

This house was perfect for our gathering of friends. We spent time in group activities, both inside and out, and ate meals together. The peaceful natural setting and the spaciousness of the house made for a perfect retreat from the busyness of life.

This property was wonderful. The house was clean, well organized and suited the needs of our large group with kids. The fishing off the dock was wonderful. Check out the view from the dock! I highly recommend this property!
