About this property

The Hutch Country Inn of Hillsdale

Located on a small hobby farm, the Hutch is a cozy country inn that's ideal whether you're visiting Hillsdale College, searching for antiques in Allen, or just looking for peace and quiet. Come stay in a comfortable apartment where you can relax and bring the kids.

Walk in from your private entrance on the cedar deck. An open-concept living room and kitchen area await you; help yourself to the shelves with a good selection of books and table games, and don't forget to sign our guestbook.

SLEEPING/BEDS: We offer a king-size bed in the bedroom and a new (2025) couch/hide-a-bed in the living room.

KITCHEN: Enjoy a full kitchen at The Hutch. The kitchen features a full-size refrigerator/freezer, stove, oven, and microwave; you'll find the cabinets and drawers stocked with pots, pans, dishes, kitchen tools, etc. Stay warm with our heat in winter or cool off in the air conditioning during the summer. You'll also enjoy high-speed Wifi Internet.

Enjoy the beautiful bay windows at The Hutch. Inside the apartment, two big bay windows give lovely views overlooking the woods and gardens. Outside, there's a large lawn with a fire ring and firewood in the woods. We happily prepare campfires or the sauna for all guests.

Smoking is not permitted inside; you may smoke on the deck or grounds. Pets are not allowed.

This was our second stay at the Hutch, and the second time we've come for Hillsdale's freshman move-in and orientation. We love the peacefulness of the place... just a few minutes from campus yet a great retreat from the excitement and stresses of the weekend. The hosts are fantastic, and the rooms are comfortable and have everything you could ever need. Grateful.

Beautiful Property

My family stayed at the Hutch while my son competed at the Halter Center. This was a beautiful property that was equidistant to Hillsdale, the Halter Center and The Udder Side ice cream. Rob and Regina were exceptional hosts, providing us with a taste of the Finnish culture of the UP with a sauna experience.

Great location in the country yet very close to Hillsdale. Hosts also live on site and were very warm and welcoming. We enjoyed our conversation with them. Because of the rainy weather, we did not get to enjoy the yard/deck much, but would have liked to used the fire pit and sauna. If there are specific kitchen items you know you will need, I would recommend reaching out to the hosts ahead of time as we found the cooking/serving items were somewhat sparse. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay and was just what we were looking for.

Weekend visit

What a lovely property! We were in town to visit our son for his birthday and had a great time. The hosts were very accommodating with adding the extra mattress for one of our kids, the use of the sauna, and the delicious bread! We would definitely consider staying there again. One thing to consider when staying with multiple people is the only bathroom is located in the main bedroom, it worked out fine, but is a good thing to know.
