See what our guests are saying about The Hilltop Hideaway:
"We had a wonderful extended family get-together at the Hilltop Hideaway. There were beautiful panoramic views from every side of this comfortable cabin. It felt like home, but better. Watching the sunrise over the mountains from the hot tub was breath taking. Everyone pitching in to cook the meals in the spacious kitchen was fun. Relaxing, going for afternoon walks,napping in the hammock, and rocking on the front porch were just what we all needed. It was nice to laugh, "catch up" and reminisce in such a beautiful setting. The kids loved "Camp Skybunk". It was almost like their own personal apartment. They made memories picking blackberries,roasting marshmallows by the campfire pit,wading in the Watauga River, and trying to choose their favorites at the Mast General Store's Candy Barrel. We had a great vacation that we all will cherish for a lifetime. This is a private cabin, with a peaceful atmosphere, in the most beautiful area of the NC mountains. We Highly recommend the Hilltop Hideaway."

"We truly enjoyed our mountain vacation! Our boys enjoyed the mountain fun too. Your 'yard' was so much fun for all of us. We took long walks around your area and enjoyed the special spots around it. The timing was perfect with the Mast General Store Festival and the Wolly Worm Festival. On Grandfather Mountain we enjoyed "high adventures" for the whole family."
"Our wonderful week in the mountains went by way too fast! The location of your beautiful cabin was so peaceful and private. I can't remember when we have slept so well! What an incredible view from the hot tub!
You have graciously provided everything for a perfect mountain vacation! Thank you for sharing your treasure with our family - we would love to come back!!"

From our guestbook in the cabin: "Dear Deb Our family had a wonderful week together in your ‘heaven on earth’ Hilltop Hideaway! It was a perfect gathering spot for everyone to enjoy whatever mountain ‘activity’ that they chose each day. Tommy and I hiked down (and back, whew!) the mountain, sat by several of the beautiful waterfalls, enjoyed watching your neighbor’s llamas and goats, geese, ducks and pot belly pigs at the farm. We hiked to the waterfall behind the church of the Holy Cross – What a reward! The waterfall is spectacular and has a small pond area that we waded in barefoot! The Valle Crucis Community Park is an absolute gem! We walked along the river and watched several fly fishermen that were fishing in the river. Very fascinating and calming to see them patiently working to catch a fish. A great place to take children that need to burn some energy – the playground is excellent and paved trails around the park are perfect for running, bike riding, roller blading and just strolling. We all enjoyed the Mast General Store and the Annex together as well as a day at Grandfather Mountain. Thank you for sharing your special spot with us. We hope to return next year to celebrate our son’s safe return from Iraq!
