Really beautiful place to stay! The view out the back was stunning!The inside was truly nice and really clean!We would stay there again in a heartbeat!The reason we stayed was because we had track day at Road America which was really close. Thanks again!!
We enjoyed our stay Hillside Cottage! It is a great location with great morning coffee views! It was so nice to have a nice comfortable King bed after our long drive. The home was vey clean and comfortable. Heidi was a wonderful host!
We really enjoyed our stay at Heidi’s home. The proximity to Road America was perfect as we were there to watch some racing. The backyard is beautiful. I sat outside and watched some eagles fly over. The house has everything you might need and is beautiful.

Thank you! You and your family are always welcomed!
Super nice property— exactly as advertised. We stayed as it was close to the track and two racers were staying there—super convenient. Addition nice touches were: decent kitchen knives and cookware, nice kitchen, gorgeous views and sunrise, fire pit, deck. Really could ask for much more. Owner was super responsive.
