Caleb, we have been out of the country on vacation, hence our late response. We are happy that you had a good experience at the Hillside Mountain Retreat. We do our best to meet or exceed your expectations, and hope we did. If we have the opportunity to host you again, the only request that we would ask of you, is that you leave our home in a more tidy condition. There were dishes, socks, and trash items scattered throughout and our home wasn’t left in the clean and tidy condition that we generally expect. That said, most people like being on the summit in the winter, but they love it in the summer. If you have any desire to be on the summit during the summer, the Hillside Mountain Retreat, and the outdoor living experience we offer is tops. If your summer plans include a visit to the mountains, the Hillside Mountain Retreat awaits and we hope that you will give us a good recommendation to your inner circle of family and friends Enjoy today Chris and Denise

Chris is a wonderful host! Everything was just incredible. The check-in was as easy as it could be. The house is just lovely and so inviting. In short, it feels like home. The hosts have thought of absolutely everything. The beds are very comfortable and there are plenty of extra blankets to feel cozy before the fire after a day of c-country skiing. They even offer toothbrushes and toothpaste in case you forgot it.The kitchen was by far the best stocked kitchen we have ever experienced in a rental. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Perfect home for families!

We had an absolutely lovely stay at the Hillside Mountain Retreat. The home was beautifully designed and the host made us feel so welcome. We spent our evenings relaxing on the couches by the fireplace after skiing at nearby Soda Springs. What really set this home apart for us was the many amenities for young families. Multiple baby gates, pack n plays, high chairs and toys for all ages. It was so easy to feel settled and safe with our babies. It snowed on the last day and the big kids had a fun adventure making snow angels on the deck. We were two young families traveling together and are already making plans to come back next year.

Shawn and his family were great guests, clean, responsive and respectful. Own house would certainly be available to them should their travels plans bring them back.
