Unexpected modern luxury on a humble Idaho hillside - The Hillside Hideaway is truly a unique and memorable space - a newly renovated 1970's home with a few fun retro throwbacks on a wooded half-acre hillside - a very short walk (less than 250 steps, to be exact) down a private, groomed & lit trail to the 18-hole championship golf course, driving range or sled hill, 2 bars, restaurant, and hot springs pool! The space The outdoor living space is absolutely stellar - Ambient lighting hung high in the pines over an expansive deck with ample seating, a BBQ & space heater you're welcome to utilize. There is an additional entertaining area below the deck with a fire pit (firewood provided), bench & additional chairs for seating - for that s'more-filled Summer night experience every family dreams of! Indoor living is equally exceptional - Offering smart-home amenities - our Echo Dot (Alexa) is set up to be your personal assistant during your stay, when you arrive, just say "Alexa, we've arrived!" and let her take you on a tour of The Hillside Hideaway, our community, and the surrounding area. We also have guest WIFI, smart door lock, ROKU TV & a wireless smart device charging station. We have an AC unit that keeps the common areas cool and comfortable, window & floors fans, & 2 small portable coolers, as well as central heating in the cooler months to help make your mountain-living experience even more perfect. The spacious master suite is equipped with a plush king-sized bed decked-out with lavish, ultra-soft bedding, closet, dresser & private bathroom. The second bedroom - while the master bedroom has the feel of a bright & airy resort, this bedroom offers the nostalgia of the good ol' days of Summer camp! The atmosphere is that of a wooded cabin in a mountain getaway. It can accommodate 3 adults comfortably, or 4 kiddos, boasting an adult bunk bed (sturdy as a rock for adults, up to 350lbs) and pull-out sofa has a full-sized hide-a-bed and our tall queen-sized air mattress with additional bedding is tucked away in the closet. Be sure to check out the vintage board games in the closet for endless hours of entertainment for all ages! The large guest bathroom is a colorful splash of retro flare! Complete with a bathtub and plenty spots to hang suits and towels after a day at our community's hot-springs-fed-pool or the nearby river. The living, dining room & kitchen are a mix of modern and retro - a fantastic cross of comfort and nostalgia. The kitchen is stocked with all the dishes & cookware you could possibly need, and includes a refrigerator, water cooler, pantry, microwave, electric griddle, oven & range, and of course a coffee maker! NOTE FOR OUR WINTER GUESTS: The fire pit & pathway are not maintained during our snowy months, but we do plow the drive way, shovel the entryway & back deck prior to your stay. Snow shovels & rock salt are also provided. Guest access Hosts will provide turn by turn driving directions and keyless entry information within a week of your stay. Winter access (mid-November through mid-March) requires 4WD vehicles or chains to access property. Other things to note Our community - Terrace Lakes - is a natural hot springs community that was established in the 60’s. Along with the benefits of having a heated pool year round, and the draw it is for wildlife - there are a few set backs to this. Mineral deposits occasionally get into the community water which may cause the tap water to change color. Though this isn’t going cause illness, our family prefers to drink filtered water that is dispensed in our water cooler or the Brita water pitcher we provide in the fridge does a great job at filtering out those mineral deposits. We provide 1-3 5 gallon jugs of drinking for our guests depending on the length of their stay. The spares are located on the floor of the pantry. Terrace Lakes is also a mountain community and like most mountain communities does not offer a trash pick up service. However, they do provide large dumpsters located by the clubhouse for bagged trash. We just ask our guests to be responsible for their garbage - we have plenty of extra trash bags under the kitchen sink.
