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.

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.

The cabin was a nice place just to sit back and relax. The cabin was very clean and had all the amenities one would have in their own home. It was a very quiet and relaxing stay.

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.

We have stayed at the Hillside Cabin for many years. We are there every May. We love this cabin. It is perfect for a couple. It is clean, quiet, and very relaxing. The full kitchen is nice if you want to prepare meals at the cabin. The wildflowers around the cabin were beautiful this year. We will continue to come back.
