About this property

The Hillside Hideaway UNIQUE MIX OF RETRO & MODERN - Steps to Pool, Bar & Golf

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 snow hill, bar, restaurant, and hot springs pool! This is also a PRIME location for snowshoers, snowmobilers & ATV enthusiasts!

The outdoor living space is absolutely stellar - Ambient lighting hung high in the pines over an expansive deck with ample seating, complete with a BBQ & space heater you're welcome to utilize. There is an additional entertaining area below the deck with a fire ring & bench seating for that smore-filled-Summer night experience every family dreams of! In the winter it becomes a scene out of a Hallmark movie with your own personal snow-covered forest, we provide sleds for our adventurous guests and a heater on the deck to enjoy the outdoors and the view while staying nice and cozy.

Indoor living is equally exceptional - Offering smart-home amenities - our Alexa is set up to be your personal assistant during your stay, when you arrive, just say "Alexa, we've arrived!" and she’ll 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 & floor 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 modern 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 and pull-out sofa with a full-sized hide-a-bed. Be sure to check out the vintage board games in the closet for endless hours of entertainment for all ages! We also offer a queen-sized air mattress with it's own bedding if you and your party need the extra accommodation.

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 luxurious 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!

And the community - Terrace Lakes is a mountain resort that is just as unique as The Hillside Hideaway - offering an 18-hole Championship Golf Course, a driving range in the Summer that becomes an enormous sled hill for those snowy Winter days. An outdoor hot-springs-fed pool that's open year-round (access is only $12/day). There's a poolside bar that can accommodate golfers & swimmers alike. The club house contains a restaurant on the front end that's open for all meals of the day, and the golf shop on the back to book your tee time, rent golf carts, or purchase a souvenir. For those 21 & up - walk upstairs to the BEST BAR IN IDAHO! The Lodge is a hidden GEM where you can enjoy inexpensive well-drinks, sports on the big-screen, pool, darts, and shuffle board - hours of endless entertainment.

A note for guests with pets: We allow for up to 2 small dogs only with paid pet fee - please read house rules & rental agreement for more info.

A note to our winter travelers: Garden Valley, ID gets a fair amount of snow and has the look and feel of a winter wonderland on a Hallmark card! Terrace Lakes plows the main roads of our community, but please keep in mind that The Hillside Hideaway is located… well… on a hillside. There are two driving options that will get you to The Hillside Hideaway, an uphill option and a downhill option. Either way - 4WD vehicles &/or chains are recommended in snowy conditions. You can also park in the clubhouse parking lot and walk up our path or road for access on foot. Just ask us for details.

For safety & security there are 2 motion activated security cameras on the outside of the home.

Come stay at The Hillside Hideaway for an unforgettable experience!

Fun Birthday Getaway
We celebrated our daughters 10th birthday here and had a good time. Very close to pool and sled hill which was great! I wouldn’t say anything in this place is modern or updated, just pretty dated overall but it was cozy. For some reason, there were a ton of gnats flying around inside so that wasn’t enjoyable. The cleaner seemed to overlook a couple of details that I would recommend to always check. There was a gross brown film at the bottom of the Keurig water reservoir like it hadn’t been checked or cleaned in at least a month. I had to run it through the dishwasher and use a paper towel to scrub it off. Overall it was a fun stay, everyone enjoyed the couple days.

About the host

Hosted by Mike & Cortney Lyskoski

Host profile image
Our names are Mike & Cortney - we're high school sweethearts, have been married for 19 years and have two kids. Due to our earlier years working in military & ministry, we've lived all over, but landed in Idaho about 10 years ago and absolutely LOVE this state! We recently purchased this 1972 home on a quaint hillside in the Terrace Lakes community. We fell in love with the location and the size of the home was perfect for what we were looking for in this season of our lives.

The home came fully furnished and was truly a 1970's time-capsule - complete with wood paneling, velour furniture, amber lamps and avocado green...well everything was avocado green... we're talking the sink, the floors, the bathtub, and the fridge! It was a 70's throwback of Brady Bunch proportions!

As groovy as all that was, we wanted to make The Hillside Hideaway something that was more 'us' a little modern, mixed with some retro flare. We've put A LOT of work into The Hillside Hideaway and want to share this space with other families that will appreciate and care for it like we do.

If you'd like to view some photos of our DIY journey and learn more about The Hillside Hideaway & your hosts follow us @ourhillsidehideaway on Instagram &/or Facebook.

Cheers!

Why they chose this property

The Hillside Hideaway offers a fun and unique mountain community experience. This isn't your typical 'cabin in the woods' - it's bright and airy with a few fun retro throw backs that give a little wink and a nod to this home's heritage.
Located within 300 steps of the golf shop, lodge, and hot springs pool - we're close to all the amenities Terrace Lakes Resort has to offer, but tucked away on a 1/2 acre wooded lot so you still feel secluded.
We're only 15 minutes from the quaint and quirky town of Crouch, ID that boasts the Starlight theatre, white water rafting and ATV rentals in the Summer months with several restaurants, wine bar, coffee shops & a grocery store year round.
PLUS we're only an hour to the Boise area, so if you want a breath of mountain air, but still need to work the commute is plenty doable and it's a GORGEOUS drive any time of year.
