We recommend Hillside retreats to anyone looking for a clean comfortable stay! They went above and beyond and placed a “Happy Anniversary” sign in front of our place. We stayed in the Bluebird. It was comfortable and fun! Hot tub was amazing after lots of hiking. Lot of privacy and not far from all the things around Hocking HIlls. Will be returning again.:)

Cute and Quaint

The Bluebird was a great 4 day escape for my husband and I. It was perfectly located, remote and private but easy to get to all of the trails, parks and restaurants. The was our first container stay and will definitely be staying again.

Perfect Cozy Getaway

I booked The Blue Bird for a little getaway with my husband on our wedding night, since we aren’t leaving for our honeymoon right away. The tiny home was adorable and very clean. The hosts went above and beyond by surprising us with a “just married” sign in the yard, and we were delighted by the thoughtful gesture. I highly recommend this location and will definitely be staying there again.

Great Tiny House

Great place to stay. Really enjoyed the tiny house experience. The deck is awesome on this unit and makes for a great place to enjoy relaxing sitting outside and cooking on the grill. Hot tub is a nice added bonus. Internet is there but best results if you place myfi hotspot in the kitchen window to get reception. I would definitely stay here again. Super clean and well maintained.

Comfortable place to stay

We stayed three nights here. We came to explore the caves and all Hocking Hills had to offer. We wanted a smaller place with a hot tub and firepit. This has just that. The other places are a little closer than I thought, but honestly we hardly saw any other people. There was a game room that was clean and cute (although we did not use). Pretty nice place to stay for a container house. We did have to go to the store for a few things, but we still had an absolute blast. We thought for sure we would see some wild life being close to the woods, but we did not. Really nice property for the outdoor lover.

Nice time

I enjoyed the shipping container house but there were some things that could have been better. The deck area was great, but couldn't spend much time on the roof deck because the couch cushion was soggy and there were wasps during the day. Also the firepit would have been nice but didn't get the chance to use it. I didn't care for the check in process because I felt like the code should have just been posted in the app instead of having to look through the contract to find it. Overall I like this cabin but because of the price vs amenities, I would likely not stay here again.

Coziest 30th birthday getaway!

This was our second time staying at The Blue Bird (first time being last summer) as I picked this location for my 30th birthday because I remembered how lovely it was the first time! The inside is plenty spacious and I love the comfortable bed and furniture. It gets a bit chilly inside during the cold months I realized, but the provided heating unit works perfectly. Using the smart fire pit and the hot tub are a must while we stay! Host made sure to let us know where wood would be accessible if we needed more, and we were able to enjoy our s’mores, sweet potatoes, and hotdogs. Hot tub has lots of great features and felt good even on a crispy, drizzly night. The host was even kind enough to prepare the space for my birthday and was thoughtful enough to welcome me with a birthday display and a card inside! This area is quiet, serene and beautiful. It will feel like there might not be enough hours in a day when you arrive to stay, because you might like myself and be super excited to enjoy the time in all the ways possible: going for hikes on local trails, cooking a nice meal, napping in a hammock in the sun, drinking tea and reading a good book on the deck, healing aches the hot tub, watching a movie in the plush bed, the list goes on… It is certainly a gem for a perfect nature getaway, away from the city! Thank you so much! :)

Awesome weekend getaway

Husband and I needed a quick quiet weekend getaway and it was just that. Alissa and Josie was super helpful and very kind. Could not have asked for better customer service. Great job ladies! We will definitely go back. The bluebird was very quaint and bed was comfortable.

Bluebird

We had a great time staying at the bluebird shipping container! The property was perfect for my partner and I. We enjoyed the hot tub, and having access to the communal game room was very fun. The property was in a great location, remote but close enough to the hiking trails that we wanted to explore during our stay. We’ll definitely be returning in the future!

Better than imagined!

It was our first time staying in a converted storage container and it was perfect - clean and well decorated and maintained. We had a slight issue getting the key code but that was my fault for not getting information turned in when I was supposed to but the property management team quickly responded to all my texts and followed up to make sure everything was going well. I would not hesitate to book this specific location or use this management company again!

Came to the area to do some hiking. Great location and it was perfect for us. Easy check in. And great communication with the property managers. Everything we needed was in the cute shipping container house. Hot tub was clean and the game room was a fun extra. Would definitely come back. Might even check out a yurt next time.
