Great Stay

After countless visits to Hillside Cabin, we never fail to enjoy the experience every time. The country setting and easy trip into town makes for a great place to relax and enjoy the views. The Cabin is very clean and comfortable with full kitchen, wifi, and TV service. The front porch looks across the valley with deer and birds abundant. We will be back again to recover from city life.

Perfect place for our extended weekend

Enjoyed our stay again at Hillside because of location outside of town and all the creature comforts you would have at your own home. The view from porch is nice too and would see birds and deer from the windows and porch.

Quiet, quaint getaway cottage

The Hillside Cabin is perfectly located and the property has little nuances that are unique to it, like the cardinal who hangs out on or by the car and the little fairie garden behind the cabin. Even saw a deer wander by our first night!

We have stayed at the Hillside Cabin for many years. We are there every May. We love this cabin. It is perfect for a couple. It is clean, quiet, and very relaxing. The full kitchen is nice if you want to prepare meals at the cabin. The wildflowers around the cabin were beautiful this year. We will continue to come back.
