Located off the scenic highway, South 127, our newly renovated house atop Hillbilly Hill Trail, has everything you and up to 9 others would need in a guest home. Relax at the fire-pit in the private back yard with an uninhibited view of the sky, pasture, and private lake. Just pack a bag of clothes, your favorite food and drink, and come on over!

Family Christmas Trip
Nice open floor plan to spend time with family. Quiet area and fun fishing but not that far from stores when something was needed.

November wine trail trip
Great location, very quiet and end of road. Loved seeing the stars so bright. Close to food and in the middle of the wine trail. Three couples each had their own bedroom and the living room " Love Pit " LOL, had plenty of space to fellowship and talk about our time together on this trip. Will try to stay again if in area.

Family Weekend
Our granddaughter attends SIU and marches with the band. Our family of six stayed at Hilltop Retreat and it was very nice and convenient to the campus. We also went to several wineries on the Wine Trail and to the Little Grand Canyon. Very comfortable stay.

Fun Time but No AC last night/morning
House was nice and secluded location .. few things were broken .. ceiling fan in bedroom and they had a standing fan in that room that legs were broken.. drains in both bathroom sinks hardly worked at all. 2nd night (we only stayed 2 nights) the AC stopped working and only blew warm air .. let owner know .. she refunded me $50.. but felt like I should have received more .. overall we had fun just uncomfortable 2nd night and morning
