Guests will appreciate the hand hewn Appalachian log cabin flare in a property that gives you the feel of a mountain chalet. The ski access couldn't be any better sitting directly on Hilda’s Hideaway run. Ski any run left from Hilda’s hideaway to Alpine lift, ski any run right from Hilda’s Hideaway to Disciples D8 lift which also runs at night. Direct access to D8 lift is important as Alpine Lift isn’t always running. In the spring summer and fall, the Hilda’s Hideaway ski run is a paved road that is a part of Boyne Mountain Resort’s 7 miles of paved golf cart, biking and walking paths. The mountain bike bath is a few feet away. A short walk up the hill past 4 homes takes you to where the new D8 lift drops off, the new 1200ft SkyBridge, a food truck, restrooms, and Alpine Golf Course’s 1st tee. A short walk across the bridge, or a short walk around to the other peak takes you to the disk golf course hole 1st tee, the Eagle’s Nest mountain top restaurant. The Hemlock lift typically runs year round down to the main village giving access to restaurants, bars, a game room and other activities like zip lines.
Parking and access:
The garage and mostly flat paved driveway has plenty of parking as it is the deepest lot in Edelweiss. Additional parking that can accommodate RVs and trailers is by the tennis courts. While the roads are well maintained. There is a fairly steep incline at the bottom of Cabin Drive so an ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED in the winter months. The Boyne Shuttle Bus does service this location.
Garage:
Enter through either the small door or large garage door into an insulated garage. To charge your EV you can plug in with no fee using either the Emporia 48 amp J1772 charger, or L14-50 50AMP outlet. A full sized gas grill and spare tank are located in the garage as well as an air compressor and other items you might need in a pinch. There is plenty of firewood stacked inside that is dry and ready to enjoy.
1st Floor:
Only two steps up from the garage is the mud room with plenty of room to store your coats, hats and boots.
Off the mudroom is a well-appointed gourmet kitchen with custom cabinets and stainless steel appliances including a large gas range, dishwasher and refrigerator with an ice maker. For the coffee drinkers, there is a conical burr coffee grinder, a 14 cup coffee pot, and a Keurig. A full CutCo knife set, Instant-pot, crock pots as well as many other kitchen essentials are available for use.
Enjoy a meal at the large dining room table that seats 8 people comfortably with 4 additional seats at the breakfast bar.

The large ski locker room is like none other and has 8 built in lockers for ski apparel and hanging racks for ski and board gear. It features a boot dryer and large upper fan to dry out your outfits quicker.
From the ski room it's only two steps outside into the 6 person hot tub after a long day. If you don’t want to sit in the hot tub, you can still be a part of the conversation sitting on the historic Disciples II #78 Chair Lift, now bench seat, that spun at Boyne Mountain until April 2022.
We have a large concrete outdoor fire pit area with 8 chairs to enjoy year around. If only that fire pit could talk!
We have put a lot of effort into improving your comfort here. Both the temperature and the humidity are controlled individually on each floor and there is a dehumidifier in the ski locker room. The furnace fan is set to filter the air throughout the hour. The upstairs gas fireplace has a remote that has a thermostat function as well. There is an automatic generator that kicks on if the power is out and with alternate heat sources, not even a broken down furnace can ruin your vacation here.
