Hillside Cottage

This picturesque two-story, three-bedroom cottage is a great place to come for a getaway with a few friends. Perched on a ridge above the hollow, at the edge of the woods, Hillside Cottage has a more open view than the other cabins at New Song.

In the morning, you can make yourself an excellent cup of coffee from the lovingly-equipped coffee bar. Sip it indoors by the fireplace, in a rocking chair on the porch, or on a park bench by the campfire, under the oaks and hickories.

At night, there's plenty of room around the campfire to sing, connect, or process life with friends. If you're by yourself, you'll appreciate the silence of an Ozark night and the calming sounds of nature that fill that silence.

Your stay at the Hillside Cottage gives you access to New Song's network of scenic trails. Meander across ridges and through hollows where the only sounds are wind and birdsong, or pause on a park bench to pray and reflect.

Things to Know About Creekside Cottage

🌲 Your stay includes a generous firewood supply, and you can purchase more should you run low. (To avoid spreading disease, please do not bring firewood from elsewhere.) Ask for details.

🌲 A park style grill is available for your use in the picnic area. Please bring your own charcoal and lighter.

🌲 The common area in this house is snug (see the photos), so plan your guest numbers accordingly.

Things to Know About the New Song Property

🌲 While thousands of guests in all types of vehicles have successfully come and gone, be aware that the driveway is rough and somewhat steep. Drive carefully. We are happy to answer any questions you have about access.

🌲 Please contact New Song Sanctuary before bringing in guests that are not registered on the booking. We are generally flexible about visitors, but we need to know who is here.

🌲 To ensure you have a restful stay, New Song observes quiet hours from 10:30 pm to 7:00 am.

🌲 The water supply is unfiltered live spring water. If you are not comfortable with that, please bring your own drinking water.

🌲 New Song Sanctuary shares the woods with wildlife, including ticks, bugs, and spiders. Bring effective tick and insect repellent in season if you plan to venture into the woods.

🌲 The spring-fed creek runs year-round. It is full and gurgling most of the year but lower in late summer.

🌲 If you wish, you may dig wild onions in the woods (early spring) or harvest watercress from the creek (spring and fall). To avoid over-harvesting, respectfully leave some behind in each clump you find.
