Hillside Retreat is a one-of-a-kind urban retreat! Ideally positioned in popular Hardin Valley, this home offers convenient access to shopping, dining and major routes, while still feeling tucked away.

There are two levels, each with its own living area, kitchen and sleeping quarters. A new 12x32 upper level deck was added in 2025, which is perfect for gathering with friends, family or group getaways. There is also a smaller deck in the back, a porch just outside the lower level living area and a fire pit, giving everyone plenty of places to spread out. An outdoor shed houses extra chairs for the fire pit and several outdoor games for your use. If you need to work while visiting, high speed 1-Gig internet with fast upload and download speeds is provided. Although internet speed is not guaranteed, see speed test photo .

OTHER DETAILS TO NOTE:

PET POLICY: We welcome a maximum of two well-behaved, house-broken dogs weighing 50 LBS or less. The per-stay fee of $50 for one dog is included in your quote when clicking the box “Traveling with Pets.” If you are bringing a second dog, please include that in the messages. The additional $50 will need to be added manually to your total.

PARKING: The main driveway up the hill is shared with our neighbor so be careful not to block. You can park 4 cars max on the lower driveway. 3 or 4 cars can be parked in the upper gravel driveway. No parking or driving on the grass please.

WOODED AREA: Please keep in mind that you will be staying in a very wooded area. We treat regularly for bugs and insects but an occasional spider or ant make its way into the house during your stay. You may also see deer, raccoons, large owls and other birds of prey. Keep an eye on smaller dogs when outside as owls can lift 2-3 times their body weight so dogs up to 10 pounds are vulnerable.

FIRE PIT: If firewood is present at the time of your stay, feel free to use it. Firewood can also be purchased at nearby retail stores, such as Walmart & Food City. Please extinguish the fire pit after use.

OUTDOOR GAMES: If you use the outdoor games, please place them back in the shed overnight so they don't get exposed to rain or animals.

NO SMOKING OR VAPING inside the home. Smoke remediation fee is $500.

BOOKING: Primary booking guest must be 25 years of age or older.
