It's a nice location in the Smokehole area, close to all the adventures in the area. The bathroom is very tiny but overall clean which is what you want for a place to adventure around from.
We had a nice stay Our grandson and us love the added bonus the goats that lived next to us We had nice weather we hiked our dog and grandson swam in the river and lots of other things
very comfortable. The goats in the back are really cute. Clean. No issues with
WiFi. Close to trout fishing. Would stay again.

Pretty cool house, unfortunately, when we arrived the bed was naked and some dirty bedsheets were by the washing machine In a pile. After reading the house rules, we figured out that the previous guests left their nasty bedsheets by the washing machine as they should, but the staff/ the owner never ran the load of laundry. We arrived at midnight and had to do the laundry to have clean bedsheets. We were exhausted after a long car drive ( 7hr) so that was annoying. The grill didn't work. The area was beautiful. Pet- friendly so that was nice cause we traveled with 2 dogs.
House was clean. Hot tub and fire pit were great! Only four stars because of the following: 1. Inadequate bedding. No top sheet on one bed. No extra blankets. It was 20 degrees outside and the heaters had trouble keeping up. We were cold due to lack of adequate bedding; and 2. No shampoo or soap in shower. There was a dispenser for each, but it had not been refilled.
This home provided a great space for a long weekend stay. It was about 17 mins from the closest grocery store in Petersburg and 30 mins from Smoke Hole caverns. The home itself had everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen was fully stocked and there was coffee/coffee pot available. If a Keurig is important to you, you’d want to bring your own. The beds were clean and comfortable. There were a few ants in the kitchen that we had to get rid of. Be mindful that the home sits up on a hill so you do have a little hike to take all of your belongings inside as the parking spaces are at the bottom of the hill. Therefore, it may not be suitable for someone with mobility issues. Otherwise, it’s in a great location for hiking and enjoying nature. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

The property is okay inside but outside needs improvement including the deck boards with nails sticking up, yard was not mowed. Like I said it was ok but I wouldn’t go back.
My dog and I really enjoyed our stay. Place was well equipped and clean. Holly especially liked the goats and vice verse. Had great communication with Tyler through out. Starlink was flawless. Beautiful area. Would definitely stay there again.
The cottage is much bigger than it looks from outside. It was very nice to have a kitchen, deck, and laundry facilities. Very quaint and comfortable. Just a few miles from Smoke Hole which was absolutely beautiful and swimming holes galore. A close ride to the town of Petersburg for shopping, gas, eats, or supplies. Thanks for the stay!!
The property is located very close to the 'smoke hole' historic valley, and the Monongahela National forest. It's an excellent base for hiking and nature lovers. The cabin is well furnished and the kitchen has everything you need to cook. Washer dryer is excellent for muddy hikes. My only issue was with flies and mosquitos inside the cabin when we arrived.

A great hide away
My husband and I just wanted to get out of state for a long weekend. This was a perfect random stay that we found. Lots of farm animals to look at. The mountains were beautiful. We would stay here again.
House was perfect!! Clean comfortable and perfect! We had a wonderful time got in a few beautiful hikes! So grateful to find the property hoping to go back!
It was enjoyable my son liked the water slide in town at the pool was a pretty nice getaway we rode the train at Cass wanting to go back to see Douglas falls didn't care for the science center much wasn't very much there had a pretty good
Great relaxing family get-a-way. The location was perfect for us to hiking Seneca Rocks, visit Smoke Hole Caverns, fish and swim smoke hole near eagle rocks, and even visited spruce knob on the way home. The place was nice, clean and we took full advantage of the fire pit, the hot tub, and the even the grill. Can't wait to visit again. Thanks
Nice property, well maintained, well supplied, good location for multiple activities, hot tub and fire pit add a bit of fun. Easy in and out. Our family enjoyed and recommends
We were seaching forever to find a small cabin or a place to stay for a few days to relax. This place hit the spot. Close to seneca rocks and multiple caverns. After walking and hiking all the hot tub is a nice way to relax. Check in was easy, the cottage is very well kept. The beds are comfortablelove this olace will definitely book again when back in the area

The cabin itself is setup nice for 2-4 people. Check-in and out is easy. Starlink is a plus. Our poor review is due to the fact both sofas and both beds were completely covered in dog hair! I’ve never seen it so bad in any place I’ve ever stayed. Unacceptable and simply gross. If that is resolved, it can be a decent place to stay.
We stayed at HillSide Getaway for a short weekend escape to do some hiking and fishing, and the place was exactly what we needed. The bedrooms were very comfortable and clean, and we we really enjoyed the back deck, hot tub, and fire pit. The grill is in good condition. The goats next door were a joy to watch. The house is really close to Smoke Hole if you are looking to fish.
