Guests Reviews

The Hillcrest House

“The Hillcrest House is cute as a button! Communication with Hope was easy and fast. The self check-in was seamless, and we walked into a beautifully appointed cottage. Our family of four spent 4 nights here and felt so at home. We loved walking down to Our Father’s Farm to get much of our meat, dairy, and specialty items. Food Lion was only minutes away for everything else. It is well-located for visiting historical sites in the area. We highly recommend The Hillcrest House for a peaceful retreat in the countryside.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Hillcrest House. It was clean, peaceful, and had everything we needed. It’s also super cute and cozy, which is always a plus!”

“Super cute and clean as a whistle! Hillcrest is the perfect home away from home. The view is picturesque – overlooking the gorgeous pastures of Our Father’s Farm. As you step in the door, you can feel the attention to detail that has been lovingly placed throughout this quaint home. The bed is super comfy with lush linens. Organic coffee and tea are provided, reading material abounds, and, as you relax in the living room, you find yourself already planning your next getaway to stay in this cozy home. Communication with the host was perfect from before check-in right through check-out. I honestly can’t say enough – you simply have to experience this little piece of Gretna paradise for yourself!”

“Staying at Our Father’s Farm was such an amazing experience. It is so beautiful and peaceful!!! The drive to the cottage is gorgeous, with green pastures filled with cows and horses to captivate you! The location of the cottage is very peaceful. It is a nature lover’s dream. The interior of the cottage is incredibly charming, cozy, and very, very clean. For someone who loves interior design, it is decorated perfectly. The beds and pillows are so incredibly comfortable, which made our stay feel luxurious. It comes with a beautiful kitchen, washer, and dryer. It’s like a dreamy home away from home! Communication with the host is also great and easily accessible. The owner and her family are so friendly. I would highly recommend staying here. You won’t regret it!”

“Beautiful location! The house is very cozy. The sunrise views are hard to beat! We enjoyed our stay and hope to go back in the future. Communication with the host was great! Very sweet family!”

—Hannah from NC, 1/2024

“Our stay at Hillcrest House was wonderful and smooth from start to finish! Hope communicated in a timely and clear manner; the house was spotlessly clean; sweet touches made it feel inviting and cozy; we enjoyed the coffee, tea, and other amenities provided; and our family of seven fit very comfortably. Our family’s highlight was the included farm tour the next morning. We were blessed by our time at Hillcrest House and the Fuhrmann family and would highly recommend the house, with or without the farm tour, to anyone looking for a quiet, refreshing get-away. We hope to return again.”
