Our Story

Welcome to a place where time slows down and nature becomes your companion.

Our Homestay

A Home Among the Pines

Hillside Haven began as a dream – to create a sanctuary where the boundaries between living space and nature blur into one harmonious experience. Nestled at 6,000 feet above sea level, our homestay was lovingly built by hand using local materials and traditional techniques.

What started as our family's mountain retreat has now become a cherished haven for travelers seeking authenticity and connection. Each corner of our homestay tells a story – from the reclaimed wooden beams to the hand-woven textiles made by local artisans.

As your hosts, we've poured our hearts into creating spaces that invite both comfort and wonder. Our philosophy is simple: slow down, breathe deeply, and let the rhythm of the mountains guide your stay.

Far from city lights, our mountaintop location offers breathtaking views of the cosmos. Wrapped in warm blankets with hot cocoa in hand, learn about constellations from our resident astronomer on clear evenings.

Our Sanctuaries

Each room is thoughtfully designed to bring the outside in, creating spaces of tranquility and wonder.

Meadow Suite

The Meadow Suite

"Where wildflowers dance outside your window and the valley unfolds like a painting at dawn."

Our most spacious accommodation features floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the meadow and valley beyond. The handcrafted king bed faces east to capture the first light, while the sitting area with woodstove provides cozy evenings.

The Pine Nest

"Perched among ancient pines, where birdsong becomes your morning alarm."

This intimate hideaway feels like a treehouse with its elevated position and wraparound windows. Natural wood textures and moss-green accents echo the surrounding forest. The private balcony offers a perfect spot for morning meditation.

Sky Loft

The Sky Loft

"Where clouds drift by at eye level and stars seem close enough to touch."

Our highest room offers panoramic mountain views through its skylight ceiling. The minimalist design with cloud-white linens and blue accents creates a feeling of floating. A telescope is provided for stargazing from the comfort of your bed.

Echoes From The Hills

The experiences of those who have found peace in our mountain sanctuary.

My husband and I spent three nights in the Sky Loft and it was genuinely transformative. Watching the mist roll through the valley each morning while sipping tea in silence – these are memories that have stayed with me through the busy months since our return. The attention to detail and the genuine warmth of our hosts made this more than a stay; it was a homecoming.

As a wildlife photographer, I've stayed in many remote locations, but Hillside Haven offered something rare – true quietude. I captured some of my best bird photographs from the private balcony of the Pine Nest. The hosts' knowledge of local wildlife patterns was invaluable, and their respect for the natural environment is evident in every aspect of this thoughtfully created space.

I came to Hillside Haven seeking respite from burnout, and found healing in the simple rhythms of mountain life. The forest bathing experience was profound, and for the first time in years, I slept soundly through the night. I appreciated that sustainability wasn't just a buzzword here but practiced thoughtfully throughout. This place has reset my relationship with technology and nature.
