This refined, cozy, and newly renovated mountain cabin property offers a touch of luxury in its three bedrooms and two bathrooms for 6 people, an expansive wrap around screened porch and 20 acres of wilderness for relaxing and exploring. Whether you come with your family for vacation or as a couple's getaway, you will find relaxation and tranquility in this quiet property in the wilderness. If you are looking to vacation with additional family or friends and want more space to spread out, including access to our private swimming and fishing lake (Misty Morning Lake), you have the option to also book the neighboring property at the Lakeside Retreat at Misty Morning Lake which can host 8 people. www.vrbo.com/2342047 After booking, please discuss with your host if the private access to our entire resort property is desired. Our entire woodland and lake resort spans 55 acres of hiking trails, picnic areas, swimming, fishing, boating, camping, RV parking, etc. If this is something of interest to you and your guests, please contact your host for details. Additional Notes: The driveway to the Hilltop Cabin and the parking around the cabin is newly built and in good working order. However, the final approach to the Hilltop Cabin is a steep grade and it is recommended that you utilize all-wheel or 4-wheel drive. If this is of concern, you can look at our sister property, The Lakeside Retreat at Misty Morning Lake (www.vrbo.com/2342047) as this adjoining property has no steep slope concerns. At the Hilltop Retreat Cabin, you will find a first-floor master bedroom with an amazingly comfortable king bed, two-night tables and closet for all of your belongings. From the first-floor master, you may access the screened porch from the sliding glass door. Our first floor living room offers a leather couch with recliners and TV & entertainment center for cozy movie nights. The kitchen is well equipped with pots & pans, dishes, blender, toaster, microwave, split oven and range, dishwasher, crockpot and coffee maker. Our laundry room has a full-size washer & dryer and minifridge for beverages.

Our dining room seats 6 or move to the porch for another dining table to eat on a screened porch overlooking the front garden and forest. Upstairs we have another living area with two leather recliners, a leather couch, a game table, and a large screen TV. You will find a custom-built bunk room with 2 twin bunks, chest of drawers and closet and a giant bean bag chair. The secondary master bedroom which is also located upstairs offers another luxury king bed, a desk for mobile working, chest of drawers and closet.

Watching the stars at night from the hot tub is amazing experience. We have very little light pollution and the number of stars that are visible to the naked eye is awe inspiring. There is so much to do on the property or in the area for the outdoor adventurer such as hiking, mountain biking, fishing, or rafting and tubing.

With six adults, there was plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy. The kitchen was impressively well-stocked, making holiday meal prep a breeze. The outdoor amenities were a highlight—sitting around the fire pit with the provided cut wood was such a cozy experience, and the hot tub was absolutely amazing, especially in the crisp 30-degree weather. The scenic views from the property were breathtaking and added to the peaceful atmosphere. This retreat provided the perfect setting to create wonderful memories.

It was great, as we had some younger kids staying with us so during the day we hung out lakeside and when my dad was tired he went back to his peace and quiet on the hill...we took the two teens back to his cabin as well with the awesome upper level and two rooms. It couldn't have worked out better! No complaints. ##### Alicia B. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heidi S.

Everything was clean and organized. The cabin was nice and cool. Everything worked as it should. The backup generator even kicked in without any trouble when the power went out during a storm. The one thing I will say is that you must have a 4-wheel drive to get up to the property. The final approach is very steep, so please keep that in mind. We would definitely stay here again. It's a great property for a couple or even a small family. ##### Heidi S. Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brett C. Oct 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Retreat That I Needed Such a beautiful cabin atop a serene hill. All the amenities to relax without the feel of a rental. In fact, it felt like home away from home. I needed a break from work and this cabin really did the job of rejuvenating me. From a comfortable bed to a superb kitchen and the porch furniture, it is set up to relax. And if the rain on the metal roof doesn’t relax you, then the hot tub surely will. Even staying dry is relaxing by the fire pit where the firewood is provided. There were a state park’s worth of very walkable trails. A map is provided at the cabin for the trails as well. Really an amazing property. I am counting down the days until I return. If you’re reading this and wondering if you should…you definitely should! ##### Brett C.

Jul 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy My two teenage sons and I had the best time staying at this cabin. It is absolutely beautiful and completely surrounded by woods and nature. The beds were so comfortable, the rooms were private, and the kitchen was wonderfully stocked. We had some thunderstorms during our stay, and we loved sitting on the screened porch listening to the rain while playing board games. Of course the highlight for us was seeing black bears! I can't say enough positive things about the Hilltop Retreat. We will happily stay again! ##### Laura E. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peggie H.
