Edmonton's Ultimate Family Hangout: Retro Gaming Garage and Private Hot Tub!


Some of the best vacations aren't about where you go—they're about the people you share them with. At The Hillview Hangout, families and friends come together to laugh, unwind, and make memories that last long after they've returned home. Play classic arcade games in The Hangout, soak in the hot tub, gather around the fire table, or share meals around the kitchen island—every space invites conversation, connection, and quality time.

⭐ WHAT YOU'LL LOVE

✔ The Hangout – your retro arcade garage packed with classic games, interactive fun, and a giant 85" TV and oversized sofa. Heated for year-round use!

✔ Private hot tub retreat tucked away for a quiet, secluded soak under the stars.

🏠THE HOME

The Hillview Hangout features three bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, and a bright open-concept living space that's perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring Edmonton. The modern, well-equipped kitchen, dedicated workspace with high-speed Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and in-home laundry make longer stays just as comfortable as weekend getaways. Conveniently located in southeast Edmonton, The Hillview Hangout offers easy access to downtown, Rogers Place, Commonwealth Stadium, West Edmonton Mall, South Edmonton Common, and Edmonton International Airport.

Step outside to your own private backyard retreat. Soak in the hot tub, enjoy drinks at the outdoor bar, gather around the fire table beneath the string lights, or let your four-legged family members roam the fully fenced yard and private dog run.

The heart of the property is The Hangout – our heated retro arcade garage that's become a guest favourite. Play classic arcade games, watch movies or the big game on the 85-inch TV, or sink into the oversized sectional between games. It's the space guests remember most – and often the reason they can’t wait to come back!

When it's time to call it a night, retreat to one of three inviting bedrooms designed for a restful night's sleep. Comfortable mattresses, quality cotton linens, and cozy touches help you wake refreshed and ready for another day.

Whether you're visiting Edmonton for a family vacation, a reunion, a sports tournament, a concert, or simply a weekend away, The Hillview Hangout offers the space, comfort, and unique amenities to make your stay both relaxing and memorable.

This is lovely, well kept property with a beautiful big yard. We really enjoyed the hot tub and the arcade. The host was very accommodating and kind and let us check in a bit early because we had arrived sooner than we had planned. The dog yard was cute! The house had all the amenities we needed and we were made to feel very welcome. The inside was very clean and immaculate. Five stars! We hope to come back again!
