About this space The Hillard is a historic private house, offered in its entirety.
Built circa 1865, the house has been carefully preserved and thoughtfully updated, allowing modern comfort to exist quietly within original architecture and proportion.
It is not a hotel or an inn, but a place meant to be lived in — slowly, together, and without interruption.
One group at a time.
No shared spaces.
No turnover energy.
Here, arrival is intentional.
The space The Hillard is a full private estate designed to be lived in as a whole.
The house includes multiple gathering rooms, quiet spaces for reading and rest, areas for movement and recovery, and thoughtfully restored architectural details throughout.
Every space is designed to feel calm rather than styled, timeless rather than decorative.
This is not a hotel or an inn, but a house meant for shared presence, unhurried meals, long conversations, and meaningful time together.
Guest access Guests have full, private access to the entire house and grounds for the duration of their stay.
All indoor and outdoor spaces are exclusively yours — there are no shared areas and no on-site guests beyond your group.
The house is designed to be experienced fully, allowing guests to move freely between gathering spaces, quiet rooms, wellness areas, and outdoor settings at their own pace.
Other things to note The Hillard is a historic home and is cared for with intention.
It is best suited for guests who value quiet, respect the character of older architecture, and appreciate a slower pace.
The house is not designed for parties, events, or loud gatherings.
Fires (indoor and outdoor) should be used responsibly, and guests are asked to treat the home as they would a place of personal significance.
Those who arrive with care often find the house gives something back.
