The Hillside B and B was unique for a bed and breakfast. Our accomodations were in a two bedroom, two bath house across the drive from the proprietors private residence. We had the entire place to ourselves so had ultimate privacy. One caveat: this guest house does not have "insuite" bathrooms which is no probem if one is staying there without other guests. However, if the guest house is being shared, one must be somewhat aware (for modesty purposes) that you are sharing a house with someone else. Because there are two bathrooms, each guest would have their own, so that is nice. There is another guest house on the property that is about 100 yards up the canyon. I would imagine that this place would be ideal for someone who wants complete privacy.
One of my major issues with staying anywhere is cleanliness. The Hillside B and B is clean as a whistle!
Remember, this is a remote place, so relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
As we entered the drive up to the B and B a family of quail crossed our path. Then the proprietor's free range chickens appeared. On the right were some lovely horses in the pasture. As we came up to the entrance we were stunned at the beautiful flower gardens all around. The proprietor must have a green thumb.
We enjoyed two healthy breakfasts while staying there. The first morning we had an omelette made from the proprietors fresh eggs from her free range chickens and fresh berries from her own garden. The neighbor down the road stopped in for a bite and we had a lovely conversation. This is the place to be made to feel right at home.
The second day we had homeade pancakes and more delicious fresh picked berries.
Because this place is quite far from any major city, I assume that is the reason the proprietor can only take cash or checks. No matter, it was a lovely, enjoyable stay in the most beautiful surroundings. It is a 45 minute drive to the "put in" for the Hells Canyon boat tours. Quite convenient.
