These figures come from one home. Hilltop Haven on Big Green joined in August 2026 and has no reviews yet.

One stay, closely

The work behind one good stay.

Guests get clear instructions before they set off, a door code of their own, and directions written for the long drive between the stone pillars and past the farm.

The renovation that started it all.

Kropp Collective’s first property, renovated into a bright, lake-themed duplex a short walk from downtown Green Lake. The kitchen is where the group tends to gather again by evening.
