In the early
1900’s, the site where the Hillside currently stands was
occupied by a hotel called Hargraves Resort.
In the mid
1900’s, the business was known as Woods Resort.
The business
was officially renamed Hillside Resort in 1990.
In May of
1993, the business was purchased by Mike and Jody Anderson,
who still own and operate it today.
On July 3rd of
1993, a 500 year flood hit the area. Many homes were lost in
the disaster. The foundation supporting the Hillside was
almost completely washed away.
On Sept. 9th,
1997, the Hillside Resort was destroyed by a mid-morning
fire.
A short four
months later, on January 8th, 1998, a new building was
completed and was ready to open on January 30th.
On July 11,
2000, a tornado followed by a severe
thunderstorm ripped through the area.
In May of
2003, Mike and Jody Anderson celebrated their 10-year
anniversary of owning & operating the Hillside Resort.
