Beautiful family getaway
The view is breath taking!!! My husband and I brought 2 dogs and our 2 kids under 12 yr and we had the best weekend getaway. It was so quiet, relaxing and the perfect family atmosphere. We can’t wait to come back!

Happy Thanksgiving 2023
A quiet and peaceful home to enjoy each other's company with beautiful views of sunrise and the mountains. Getting to the cabin was made an enjoyable journey on the steep roads with the excellent directions provided by Charles. Check in was a breeze. We cooked our turkey in the smoker and the traditional sides in the kitchen while we watched the Macy's parade then football and talked of family memories. We took in the Winery, and one cannot miss a visit to Redbone Willy's Trading Post. Thank you for letting us create another family memory at Hilltop Mountain Retreat.

Mountain Getaway Fall 2023
Quiet retreat with beautiful views of ever changing sky and mountains. Getting to the cabin is a bit daunting if you are not used to mountain roads, but once we did it a few times, it got easier. South Mountain State Park is a short drive and has lots of hiking trails. The hot tub was a great way to relax and relieve the muscle soreness after hiking. Great place for a quiet family retreat.

Quick Family Getaway Success
We had a great time at this quiet mountain retreat. Our group spanned from age 2 up to age 50 and we all enjoyed the comfort of the home's furnishings, the peacefulness of the surroundings, and the ease of the booking process on short notice. Our host was so easy to work with on the booking and provided enough basics within the home that it was easy to just land for the night and worry about groceries the next day. The outside deck is very well made and secured, so we felt completely comfortable letting our 2 and 5 year old children play on the deck. Beautiful sunrise view and AWESOME water pressure!! Do know that you will be taking steep mountain (but paved) roads to get to this rental. That said, it is worth every hill to reach this peaceful retreat.

Great stay.
Beautiful view of the mountains. Property had everything you would need to spend time there. T.V. is a little challenging but with the surrounding state park area, should be something you don't need to focus on. Would definitely stay there again when in the area.

Beautiful location with an incredible view, this house afforded us a great opportunity to get away and unplug. South Mountain State Park was just up the street and had some great hikes of varying difficulties. Would definitely book again.

Just needed to get away from my work for a few days. Had a great time visiting the South Mountain State Park. This time of the year, very few people out in the park.
