About this property

Hillside Cabin | Terrific Front Porch

  • Views, wildlife, bird watching, quiet relaxation- if this is what you are looking for plus staying in an awesome, quiet cabin then this is the home for you. Hillside Cabin is located just a short distance from Honey Creek Cottage and less than 10 minutes from Fredericksburg. Honey Creek Cottage is found at the next entrance on the road and renting both will make a wonderful retreat for family and friends. Hillside Cabin is tucked in the trees enjoying the wonderful wildlife that surrounds it. This small cabin is elegant, cozy, warm and inviting. The front porch has a table and chairs plus comfy seating to enjoy the wonderful views of the countryside. In the back yard are other seating areas designed to enjoy the many birds, squirrels, deer and other wildlife that are so prevalent. Your hosts have created a wildlife refuge for guest making it a spectacular place to stay and enjoy.

    Entering into the house savor the spaciousness of the open living room and kitchen. The living area has a large comfy sofa and chair placed to enjoy the large television. Fully equipped, the kitchen is both practical and elegant. And perfect for those quiet dining moments during your stay. A queen bed is the focal point of the bedroom, with its soft coral walls. The bed is elegantly dressed with tasteful beauty and offers fluffy pillows to accent. Adjacent bathroom has a large shower (handicap accessible).

    The paths around the house are created for nature enthusiasts. Hillside Cabin is being prepared as a Wildlife Refuge property, and your hosts have provided feeders and quiet outdoor space. Guests have told us how they enjoy walking or bicycling on the county road leading to Hillside Cabin.

Quiet, quaint getaway cottage

The Hillside Cabin is perfectly located and the property has little nuances that are unique to it, like the cardinal who hangs out on or by the car and the little fairie garden behind the cabin. Even saw a deer wander by our first night!

Good dark skies and manager response

My stay was very pleasant. I especially enjoyed the full kitchen and the efficient, quiet central air and heat. The router supplied strong enough internet to reach outdoors, but needed to be reset a few times. The milky way was clearly visible and I got a couple of nice astrophotographs. My car was damaged on the way up, and I asked if I could stay a little longer. The manager, Gasthous Schmidt, kindly allowed me to extend my stay for two days.

Overall content with the stay

We went to get the key for our cabin in downtown Fredricksburg. At check in, we received a key and 3 breakfast coupons to use during our stay. When we got to our cabin, we realized that we received the wrong key and at the same time, the property manager called to inform us of the same. So, we had to drive back to get the correct key and were also asked to return our breakfast coupons for some reason which led to us wasting about an hour. We asked for late check out for the inconvenience and were granted an extra hour for check out. Other than this, the cabin was nice, clean, comfortable, and fairly private.

This is about the 3rd or 4th time we have stayed at Hillside Cabin. It fits the style perfectly for how we like to stay when we or away from home. We have always found it to be clean and ready. However, we did have a couple of issues this time. When we arrived the shower curtain and rod had fallen off and it was not where it could be easily fixed. We called the office and were told we could probably use the shower without the curtain because it was wide but it still got the floor wet and we had to keep that wiped up. Also there were only 4 wash cloths for 2 adults/4 nights. It was a little inconvenient this trip but not enough to keep us from renting Hillside again.

Great Stay

After countless visits to Hillside Cabin, we never fail to enjoy the experience every time. The country setting and easy trip into town makes for a great place to relax and enjoy the views. The Cabin is very clean and comfortable with full kitchen, wifi, and TV service. The front porch looks across the valley with deer and birds abundant. We will be back again to recover from city life.

Cozy and quiet cabin up in the hill

Perfect place for our extended weekend

Enjoyed our stay again at Hillside because of location outside of town and all the creature comforts you would have at your own home. The view from porch is nice too and would see birds and deer from the windows and porch.

Quiet and peaceful cabin with a country hillside view.

If you like the seclusion of the countryside, and being just 8 miles from town, you'll love this place. Fully equipped cabin that makes you feel like you're right at home.
