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.

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.

A great location, peaceful and relaxing

We found the site on-line and it was everything the reviews said it was and more. I grew up in Hillsdale and what I miss most since I left are the fireflies in the summer and the color of the leaves in the fall. We were able to see the fireflies this time. This location is close to everything in Hillsdale and Jonesville. This was a home away from home and the Hosts were very pleasant. We had a full kitchen with living room and separate bedroom with king bed. I kept their information for our next visit.

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.

First visit to Hillsdale

Although the weather was a little off with sporadic rains and higher temperatures than normal, we had a very memorable visit. Rob and Regina are very kind and friendly hosts who love sharing this property with others. Hillsdale College was our focus but we enjoyed the neighborhood too. The Olson's neighbor a mile down the street offered farm fresh quality meats and cheeses and Rob's gas grill made our 1st evening meal a winner! We only had allowed 5 nights for our trip, and would have loved to stay longer. Highly recommended!

Sweet spot

This was a lovely place to stay for Parents Weekend at the College. Very welcoming host and nice location. The property is beautiful, especially in the fall, and don't miss the local rancher's beef shop on Sand Lake Rd. for some excellent meat! Comfortable king bed, nice restroom, cute sitting area and kitchen. No laundry.
