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!

Overall content with the stay
We went to get the key for our cabin in downtown Fredricksburg. At check in, we received a key and 3 breakfast coupons to use during our stay. When we got to our cabin, we realized that we received the wrong key and at the same time, the property manager called to inform us of the same. So, we had to drive back to get the correct key and were also asked to return our breakfast coupons for some reason which led to us wasting about an hour. We asked for late check out for the inconvenience and were granted an extra hour for check out. Other than this, the cabin was nice, clean, comfortable, and fairly private.

Good dark skies and manager response
My stay was very pleasant. I especially enjoyed the full kitchen and the efficient, quiet central air and heat. The router supplied strong enough internet to reach outdoors, but needed to be reset a few times. The milky way was clearly visible and I got a couple of nice astrophotographs. My car was damaged on the way up, and I asked if I could stay a little longer. The manager, Gasthous Schmidt, kindly allowed me to extend my stay for two days.

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.

Clean and comfortable, but small issues
We very much appreciated being allowed to check in an hour early, as we were staying at this rental due to a medical procedure planned at the hospital early next morning. However, the living room TV worked for about 15 minutes before it quite working. The coffee pot leaked water all over the kitchen cabinet. We noticed no window coverings on the windows in the living/kitchen areas online, so no surprise about that feature. But experiencing the open windows after dark in person gave us an uncomfortable feel. Overall the rental was super clean, private, and cozy. We got a good night's sleep on the nice mattress and enjoyed the roomy, sparkling clean bathroom. I definitely recommend this rental if you enjoy nature and cleanliness, but be sure to ask if the living room TV and coffee pot have been replaced or at least checked out. pfjw and jrw Feb 2023

Amazing cabin in country just minutes from Fredericksburg
The cabin was as pictured. What you don't see is the little "extra" things the owner provides to make you feel right at home. Perfect for our weekend away from the norm and we will be back!

Great getaway
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hillside Cabin. It was nice to have the peaceful of the countryside but still be close to town. We saw lots of wildlife during our stay, so keep your camera close. The kitchen had plenty of supplies. I wish we could have had full use of the chest of drawers and more than two hangers. But I'm sure that can be fixed easily and it wasn't a big enough deal to affect the over rating of this beautiful property.

Wonderful, cozy cabin!
Such a quiet, relaxing location. The cabin is the perfect size for a couple. Comfortable furniture with full kitchen is a huge plus! Close enough to town to make it convenient but far enough out of town to be quiet and secluded. We'll definitely use this cabin again in the future!

Property exceeded our expectations. Very clean, well maintained, and decorated nicely (always a plus for me but not necessarily an expectation). Property was convenient to town but far enough away for a great view of the stars at night and quiet times on the front porch. We will definitely be back!

Long weekend spent relaxing and sightseeing. Peaceful cabin in the woods. Very clean. They have everything you need; music, videos, books, utensils, ice, big refrigerator, comfy chairs and table on porch. If you are a big coffee drinker bring your own ground coffee for the Mr. Coffee drip machine. You might want to bring bird seed for the feeders, hummingbird nectar, a fan and mosquito spray. It was hot of course in August outside and even with all the bats at the bat tunnel, we still have a few mosquitos. The stars were so beautiful looking up as we sat on the driveway.
