Welcome to The Hillside

Lake Madison's gathering place.

A boat off the dock, supper on the deck, a bed near the shore — around here, a lake day means Hillside. Come out for an evening, or make a weekend of it.

A Day at The Hillside

Sunup to sundown.

The Sea Store in the morning

Morning

Stock up across the street

The Sea Store opens early — bait, ice, breakfast supplies, and a full tank before the water gets busy.

Docks and boats on the water at The Hillside

Afternoon

Get out on the water

Put a pontoon on the water, right off the marina dock — it's steps from your door.

The deck and outdoor music space in the evening

Evening

Settle in for supper

Hand-cut steaks in the dining room, burgers and pool tables downstairs, and music on the deck on show nights.

Upcoming at The Hillside

What's coming up at the lake.

The Party Room at The Hillside, set for a private event

Private Events

Two spaces for your event.

From an intimate upstairs gathering to a full lower-level party with the bar and the games — Hillside has two private spaces to host birthdays, reunions, showers, company events, and celebrations on the lake.

The Proof

Why families come back.
