Welcome to Hamilton Skies — your private 4-bedroom lakefront escape on Lake Hamilton, built for big gatherings and easy days on the water.
Sleeping up to 10 guests, this restored retreat blends rustic charm with modern comfort: soaring wood-beamed ceilings, a stone fireplace, walls of glass framing the lake, and sunsets that turn the whole sky pink. By day, swim in the heated saltwater pool, soak in the hot tub, warm up in the sauna, or head down to your private dock to kayak, paddle board, and fish. By night, it's a private planetarium overhead and a game-filled house below.
Whether your group wants a slow, screen-free reset or a non-stop activity weekend, there's room for everyone to spread out and still come together around the fire.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
About This Listing
This is a smaller version of our 6-bedroom Hamilton Skies property, set up for smaller groups. When you book this listing, the guest house is not rented out to anyone else at the same time — so you'll have access to the entire property, grounds and all.
Booking Requirements
A signed rental agreement is required upon booking confirmation.
Minimum age to rent is 25. The primary guest must be 25 or older and present for the duration of the stay.
Heated Saltwater Pool
The saltwater pool can be heated to 90 degrees for your stay — heating must be arranged before arrival. It is $100/night and, if selected, must remain on for the full duration of your booking. Please message us in advance to add heating.
Getting to the Dock
The private dock sits below the house and is reached by roughly 150 steps / several flights of stairs. This can be challenging for young children, older guests, or anyone with mobility concerns. For easy water access, the Hill Wheatley boat ramp is just 3.5 miles away.
Fall–Spring: Our dock is in a deep-water area, so it's usable year-round despite the seasonal lake drawdown (Nov 1 – Mar 15). The stairs can ice over in cold weather — on those days we recommend enjoying the view from the deck rather than heading down.
Parking
Plenty of room for the whole group — a large circular driveway comfortably fits up to 8 cars, and boat trailers are welcome too.
Nature & Wildlife
Hamilton Skies sits in a beautiful wooded, lakefront setting, which means wildlife is part of the experience. Guests may encounter birds, deer, squirrels, foxes, coyotes, snakes, insects, spiders, and other native creatures on or around the property, both outdoors and occasionally indoors. We treat and maintain the property regularly, but the surrounding nature is wild and beyond our control. By booking, guests acknowledge this is a natural lakeside environment and accept it as part of the stay.
Good to know
Designed to sleep up to 10.
No pets, please. Members of our family have allergies, so the home is kept pet-free for everyone's comfort and safety.
No parties or events. This is a private residential property, and we ask that all guests respect the quiet, residential nature of the neighborhood.
Full house rules are provided in the rental agreement.
