it’s kinda sad to see such a negative review of this place, but luckily it looks like there’s only one… and it sounds like it was due to unfortunate outside circumstances… not a reflection of the management. sadly, things can go wrong. crappy things can happen even at a 4-star Hyatt. but i digress. my wife and i celebrated recently our one year wedding anniversary. living in austin, we didn’t want to go too far from home. the hillside cabin was perfectly located smack in between wimberley and dripping springs, making a day trip to either town super feasible. for being a cabin built in 1865, i’d say it’s aged beautifully. the cabin is located on gorgeous grounds; you really feel like you’ve been able to get away from it all. there was a slight problem with a couple of wasps in the cabin, but let’s be honest folks: this is texas. you can’t escape them no matter what, especially out in the country. you just have to keep that in mind whenever you’re going out in the country: there are going to be critters out in the world. but after a quick call to Tricia Dabney(the proprietor), the groundskeeper came to take care of the pests. Tricia was very accommodating and the fact that she was so willing to make everything just right for us spoke volumes of her character. She went above and beyond in making us comfortable after that! The king bed was comfy and the hot tub was amazing… and the views of the stars at night are stunning. Truly a beautiful place!

I occasionally go to Hillside for relaxation and a little down time. I have also gone with my girlfriend. The place is really great to me. There is plenty of privacy and it is very romantic. I read the last review and it just doesn’t describe my experiences there. The family is awesome and the cabin itself is one of my favorite places to stay. — Rob

My fiancé and I chose Hillside Cabin as our honeymoon spot and were so excited! The reviews on trip advisor were glowing so we couldn’t wait to get there. We made it here late Friday night after our wedding and were appalled at the conditions. While cute and quaint, the cabin is filthy. There is dirt and dust everywhere. Mouse droppings were under the sink and random old food was in the refrigerator. The bathroom looked amazing and after a day of heavy makeup and big hair, it looked welcoming… Until I took another look. There was a bar of soap on the shower that once I looked at, realized it was used. It was covered in lower regional body hair. Then I looked at the glass shower door and saw water spots all over it like it had been used and not cleaned. My husband commented he felt he needed shower shoes to use it. We decided we were just ready to go to bed(which is located in a cool, yet dangerous loft). When we pulled back the covers, more dust, seriously thread-bare sheets and more hair and dirt. If it had not been 1am, we would have left. It was like the cabin wasn’t cleaned after the last guest. We are planning on left the next morning… We could not sleep in this place another night. Such a shame! We were so looking forward to being there for our honeymoon, but now we don’t get a honeymoon since we only had this weekend and now no place to stay. Thank you Hillside Cabin for thoroughly ruining our wedding night and honeymoon. I hope you go back to being a great place for ppl to stay bc your place has the potential for being a perfect honeymoon hideaway. Unfortunately, for us, that’s not the case. Good luck to you. Ps on a side note, the owner is extremely nice and took our concerns to heart. We wish her well.
