Quiet, quaint getaway cottage

The Hillside Cabin is perfectly located and the property has little nuances that are unique to it, like the cardinal who hangs out on or by the car and the little fairie garden behind the cabin. Even saw a deer wander by our first night!

Relaxing

The cabin was a nice place just to sit back and relax. The cabin was very clean and had all the amenities one would have in their own home. It was a very quiet and relaxing stay.

Perfect place for our extended weekend

Enjoyed our stay again at Hillside because of location outside of town and all the creature comforts you would have at your own home. The view from porch is nice too and would see birds and deer from the windows and porch.

Quiet and peaceful cabin with a country hillside view.

If you like the seclusion of the countryside, and being just 8 miles from town, you'll love this place. Fully equipped cabin that makes you feel like you're right at home.

So Impressed

Ok, we did a last minute reservation and to our surprise Hillside delivered. We are regulars at Honey Creek (next door), now realize Hillside is just as nice. So relaxing and great views.

We have stayed at the

We have stayed at the Hillside Cabin for many years. We are there every May. We love this cabin. It is perfect for a couple. It is clean, quiet, and very relaxing. The full kitchen is nice if you want to prepare meals at the cabin. The wildflowers around the cabin were beautiful this year. We will continue to come back.

Anniversary getaway near Fredricksburg

We had a great long weekend stay at the Hilllside Cabin. THe property is close enough to town to be convenient but far enough away to get away from the lights and sounds of the city. A sweet Cardinal landed on our car as soon as we arrived, and he and his family visited all weekend. The surrounding area made for some great photography and the cabin had everything we needed. I haighly recommend this location if you are planning a trip to Fredricksburg.

Our favorite

We have stayed many times at the Hillside Cabin and enjoy it every time.It is well furnished and very comfortable for us. The porch is a great place to watch life in the hill country with shade and a good breeze, even in July heat. The trip into town is quick and easy, but the country environment seems much more removed from the city action. Overall, a great place to relax from our normal big-city life.

Favorite home away

We have stayed many times in the Hillside Cabin and enjoy the comfort and quiet every time. The WiFi and internet have been upgraded and work great. Did have a slow drain in the bathroom sink that was fixed during our stay. This is our first choice place in F'burg.

Hillside Cabin

We enjoyed our stay. The cabin was clean and well furnished. It was nice waking up and see 7 deer nearby. If I may make a couple of suggestions. The tree where you park could be trimmed and the intake to the exhaust fan in the bathroom needs cleaning.

Thoroughly enjoyed.

As always we thoroughly enjoyed our little getaway at the Hillside Cabin. Watching the birds and deer by day and stargazing at night, it was just what we needed. Only one thing could have improved our visit and that's a little larger bed with a firmer mattress. Still we had a really nice time. We'd love to come back. Thanks.
