  5/5

  Our extended family ranging in age from 16 months to 70+ and a dog recently stayed at The Hilltop Hideaway. The well appointed home was large enough so that no one felt crowded, yet is cozy and comfortable. The main floor public rooms are flooded with daylight, offering views into the trees and the nature that surrounds. We were greeted daily by the neighborhood deer - the kids loved that aspect.

  Our initial concern reviewing the photos was that the dining table was undersized and would not accommodate everyone, however the hosts have a drop down table/ sideboard which may be combined with the dining table and seat a crowd.

  The hosts have considered little details throughout, from small step stools for the little ones in each bathroom, fold up tv tray tables and a card table, an assortment of boards games, the 2 electronic video games, a toddler bed, multiple fold up cots, a large pet crate, pet food bowls and pet litter bags, and extra blankets and towels.

  We did not utilize the exterior movie screen, but did partake in the outdoor fire pit (with provided firewood and marshmallow roasting sticks) and large, elevated deck. Be sure to bring your s'mores ingredients.

  As mentioned in the description, access to the house is down a series of steps then up a few steps to the main entrance, and a few hundred feet from the parking area (parking is not allowed in the driveway close to the house). This could be an issue in inclement weather or for those with mobility issues, but was a nice feature for us, as the cars were not the first thing you see looking out the windows.

  All in all, we had a fun-filled, relaxing family weekend!

  Thank you to the hosts, Nadine and Jack, for sharing your special getaway with others. You've created a wonderful, special retreat!

• Bachelor Party Headquarters

  5/5

  For my bachelor party we all stayed here and it was a great homebase. Kitchen was great and had all the tools we needed. Everything was clean and the house felt really great to be in. We were all saying how much we wanted to come back.

• Lovely Place!

  5/5

  My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. The house is big and spacious. LOTS of windows and natural light. Very homey and comfortable. The decor is cute and clean. I liked how the instructions were printed and framed and placed neatly around the house. It rained most of our trip so we didn’t really get to enjoy the back deck and gazebo until our last night. The few times we were able to get out we watched a family of deer walking through. The kids loved it. We would definitely stay here again and hopefully get to enjoy the outdoor movie screen!
