The beds were comfortable, it is in the country but we did find multiple live bugs in the bathroom and kitchens otherwise it was clean. It was pretty far (driving wise) from the Seneca rocks attractions. It doesn’t look that far on the map. The bathroom also has a window facing the road with no covering/privacy film which was off putting. Otherwise the house was well equipped and provided us a nice place to hang out in the evenings.

The property is okay inside but outside needs improvement including the deck boards with nails sticking up, yard was not mowed. Like I said it was ok but I wouldn’t go back.

This home provided a great space for a long weekend stay. It was about 17 mins from the closest grocery store in Petersburg and 30 mins from Smoke Hole caverns. The home itself had everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen was fully stocked and there was coffee/coffee pot available. If a Keurig is important to you, you’d want to bring your own. The beds were clean and comfortable. There were a few ants in the kitchen that we had to get rid of. Be mindful that the home sits up on a hill so you do have a little hike to take all of your belongings inside as the parking spaces are at the bottom of the hill. Therefore, it may not be suitable for someone with mobility issues. Otherwise, it’s in a great location for hiking and enjoying nature. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Nice location

It's a nice location in the Smokehole area, close to all the adventures in the area. The bathroom is very tiny but overall clean which is what you want for a place to adventure around from.

The cottage is much bigger than it looks from outside. It was very nice to have a kitchen, deck, and laundry facilities. Very quaint and comfortable. Just a few miles from Smoke Hole which was absolutely beautiful and swimming holes galore. A close ride to the town of Petersburg for shopping, gas, eats, or supplies. Thanks for the stay!!

The property is located very close to the 'smoke hole' historic valley, and the Monongahela National forest. It's an excellent base for hiking and nature lovers. The cabin is well furnished and the kitchen has everything you need to cook. Washer dryer is excellent for muddy hikes. My only issue was with flies and mosquitos inside the cabin when we arrived.

A great hide away

My husband and I just wanted to get out of state for a long weekend. This was a perfect random stay that we found. Lots of farm animals to look at. The mountains were beautiful. We would stay here again.

Great Relaxing Family Get-a-way

Great relaxing family get-a-way. The location was perfect for us to hiking Seneca Rocks, visit Smoke Hole Caverns, fish and swim smoke hole near eagle rocks, and even visited spruce knob on the way home. The place was nice, clean and we took full advantage of the fire pit, the hot tub, and the even the grill. Can't wait to visit again. Thanks

Nice get away

We were seaching forever to find a small cabin or a place to stay for a few days to relax. This place hit the spot. Close to seneca rocks and multiple caverns. After walking and hiking all the hot tub is a nice way to relax. Check in was easy, the cottage is very well kept. The beds are comfortablelove this olace will definitely book again when back in the area

The cabin itself is setup nice for 2-4 people. Check-in and out is easy. Starlink is a plus. Our poor review is due to the fact both sofas and both beds were completely covered in dog hair! I’ve never seen it so bad in any place I’ve ever stayed. Unacceptable and simply gross. If that is resolved, it can be a decent place to stay.

Cozy Cottage

We stayed at HillSide Getaway for a short weekend escape to do some hiking and fishing, and the place was exactly what we needed. The bedrooms were very comfortable and clean, and we we really enjoyed the back deck, hot tub, and fire pit. The grill is in good condition. The goats next door were a joy to watch. The house is really close to Smoke Hole if you are looking to fish.
