Our family absolutely loved Hillside Haven!

The home has everything that you could possibly need. The host was great in checking in to make sure our stay was going well and if we needed anything. The beds were comfortable, the living room spacious and a great place to hang out. The house was spotless. The outdoor area is beautiful and a fantastic place to enjoy the beautiful setting. Best VRBO that I have stayed at, we are hoping to make a return trip. Would highly recommend!

Incredible find! Truly worth it...

We had an amazing experience staying at this house. The place was super clean, organized and accurate. The hosts clearly went through the trouble of stocking the kitchen with everything one could possibly think of needing. An extra "touch" we loved was the Guidebook (both printed and waiting for us and sent to us electronically before check-in) explaining everything related to the house. The rooms were comfy and could accommodate our group of 9 easily. We definitely loved the place and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. We were there to ski at Mt. Snow and the drive was convenient.
