The Hillside Hideaway UNIQUE MIX OF RETRO & MODERN - Steps to Pool, Food & Golf

The Hillside Hideaway is truly a unique and memorable space - a newly renovated 1970's home with a few fun retro throwbacks on a wooded half-acre hillside - a very short walk (less than 250 steps, to be exact) down a private, groomed & lit trail to the 18-hole championship golf course, driving range, pickleball, bar, restaurant and hot springs pool! This is also a PRIME location for sledding, snowshoers, snowmobilers & ATV enthusiasts!

The outdoor living space is absolutely stellar - Ambient lighting hung high in the pines over an expansive deck with ample seating, complete with a BBQ & space heater you're welcome to utilize. There is an additional entertaining area below the deck with a fire ring & bench seating for that smore-filled-Summer night experience every family dreams of! In the winter it becomes a scene out of a Hallmark movie with your own personal snow-covered forest and a heater on the deck to enjoy the outdoors and the view while staying nice and cozy.

Indoor living is equally exceptional - Offering smart-home amenities - our Alexa is set up to be your personal assistant during your stay, when you arrive, just say "Alexa, we've arrived!" and she’ll take you on a tour of The Hillside Hideaway, our community, and the surrounding area. We also have guest WIFI, smart door lock, ROKU & TV's. We have an AC unit that keeps the common areas cool and comfortable, window & a floor fan, & 2 small portable coolers, as well as central heating in the cooler months to help make your mountain-living experience even more perfect.

The spacious master suite is equipped with a plush king-sized bed decked-out with lavish, ultra-soft bedding, closet, dresser & private bathroom.

The second bedroom - while the master bedroom has the feel of a modern resort, this bedroom offers the nostalgia of the good ol' days of Summer camp! The atmosphere is that of a wooded cabin in a mountain getaway. It can accommodate 3 adults comfortably, or 4 kiddos, boasting an adult bunk bed and pull-out sofa with a full-sized hide-a-bed. Be sure to check out the vintage board games in the closet for endless hours of entertainment for all ages! We also offer a queen-sized air mattress with it's own bedding if you and your party need the extra accommodation.

The large guest bathroom is a colorful splash of retro flare complete with a bathtub and plenty spots to hang suits and towels after a day at our community's hot-springs-fed-pool or the nearby river.

The living, dining room & kitchen are a mix of modern and retro - a fantastic cross of luxurious comfort and nostalgia. The kitchen is stocked with all the dishes & cookware you could possibly need, It includes a refrigerator, water cooler, pantry, microwave, electric griddle, oven & range, and of course a coffee maker!

And the community - Terrace Lakes is a mountain resort that is just as unique as The Hillside Hideaway - offering an 18-hole Championship Golf Course, a driving range in the Summer that becomes an enormous sled hill for those snowy Winter days. An outdoor hot-springs-fed pool that's open year-round (access is only $12/day). There's a poolside bar that can accommodate golfers & swimmers alike. The club house contains a restaurant on the front end that's open for all meals of the day and the golf shop on the back to book your tee time, rent golf carts, or purchase a souvenir. For those 21 & up - walk upstairs to the BEST BAR IN IDAHO! The Lodge is a hidden GEM where you can enjoy inexpensive well-drinks, sports on the big-screen, pool, darts, and shuffle board - hours of endless entertainment.

A note to our winter travelers: Garden Valley, ID gets a fair amount of snow and has the look and feel of a winter wonderland on a Hallmark card! Terrace Lakes plows the main roads of our community, but please keep in mind that The Hillside Hideaway is located… well… on a hillside. There are two driving options that will get you to The Hillside Hideaway, an uphill option and a downhill option. Either way - 4WD vehicles &/or chains are recommended in snowy conditions. You can also park in the clubhouse parking lot and walk up our path or road for access on foot. Just ask us for details. The fire pit & pathways are not maintained during snowy months, we do plow the driveway and shovel the entryway & back deck prior to your stay. Snow shovels are provided.

For safety & security there are 2 motion activated security cameras on the outside of the home.

Come stay at The Hillside Hideaway for an unforgettable experience!

Other things to note:

Our community - Terrace Lakes - is a natural hot springs community that was established in the 60's. Along with the benefits of having a heated pool year round and the draw it is for wildlife - there are a few set backs to this. Mineral deposits occasionally get into the community water which may cause the tap water to change color. Though this isn't going to cause illness, our family prefers to drink filtered water. There is a Brita water filter in the fridge and I also provide 1-3 gallon jugs of drinking water for our guests, depending on the length of their stay. The spares are located in the floor of the pantry. There is a Laundromat in Crouch, Spit & Shine that uses a water softener, if you would rather wash your clothes there.
