My family had a relaxing time, plenty to do for the kids while the adults could enjoy downtime either in the hot tub or on the deck with stunning fall colors on full display.
We highly recommend staying at this beautiful cabin! It had everything we needed. The view was amazing! The host was quick to respond if needed. Pet-friendly!
We really enjoyed the cabin! Everything was perfect! From booking to checking in, the process went very smooth and the host did a great job of decorating the cabin for Christmas! Highly recommend!
Ricardo was the perfect host: responsive, accommodating and helpful. The cabin was beautifully decorated and the amenities were abundant. We enjoyed the views during the day and at night! We will definitely be back!!
Had a great experience with family of 6 adults and 4 kids. Cabin itself stole the show except couple of things: hot tub water had a slimy layer thing on top, master shower body wash dispenser was loose and broke eventually and Basement shower light wasn’t working. Otherwise great host and highly recommend for location and cozy cabin.

Thanks again for your stay! As far as the shower light there are two switches and both must be turned on for shower light to work. The shower dispenser was working properly but if you push it up roughly it will come loose and break! And the hot tub is cleaned weekly and was actually cleaned the day before your arrival. If you get in the jacuzzi with multiple people and aren’t properly showered, as per house rules, your body oils will release into the hot tub!
We had the best weekend! The house was wonderful. It had everything we needed and was a wonderful place for our family to gather. There was a fenced area for our dogs that was so convenient. We highly recommend this property!

We value your feedback and are delighted to hear that you had a wonderful time at Hilltop Retreat. It fills us with pride to know that you would recommend us and enjoyed your stay. We welcome you to return to us in the future.
We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful home! The mountain views were breathtaking and made our trip truly special. The house was spotless, well maintained, and incredibly cozy. We especially loved the Christmas decorations—the tree was adorable and added such a warm, festive touch. The spacious, gated yard was perfect for our dogs, which was a huge bonus for us. Everything we needed was provided, and the home felt welcoming and comfortable from the moment we arrived. We can’t wait to come back and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful mountain getaway!

Katie was an excellent guest. Very clean and followed our house rules to the T. We hope to have her back again soon.
It’s just like the pictures show - only better. All furnishings are super comfortable. Everything you could possibly need is supplied. Host is extremely accommodating and available. Great location for easy access to the various places in the area that people would want to go to. Sitting out on the main deck was the best part - so relaxing and comfortable!
