A slice of heaven
We loved the covered back porch with a view of the mountains while enjoying the fireplace on the cool evenings. The location of the house was very close to town yet, it felt like we were hidden away in the mountains.

This was a very well equipped home and Trista was a great host. Excellent communication and above and beyond information on the area. You can tell she very much wants for you to enjoy your stay! House had everything we needed and there were touches throughout that made clear she didn't want you to worry about any of the necessities! Thank you so much!

Very nice house and good location
House is mostly one level which is great for older folks. Deck, both covered and open to enjoy a lovely long range view. Close enough to town to run to the grocery store yet nestled in a safe neighborhood. Been to Highlands many times and this is one the nicest houses I have rented.

Nice clean updated cabin with new back porch addition
The cabin was spotless and was decorated nicely with an original theme related to Honeybees. The area was in a peaceful neighborhood and the new back porch addition was a plus for the house. We spent lots of time sitting and looking at the great view. The owners put a lot of thought into making this cabin (inside and out) a peaceful retreat for us.

Outstanding Hospitality
Trista is an outstanding hostess. She seeks out feedback from her guests so that she can make the house more comfortable and inviting. There was a basket of snacks on the counter and a notebook on the coffee table with information about the house and things to do in Highlands. The best part of the house is its gorgeous deck and fireplace with a lovely view. I highly recommend a stay at the Honeybee Hideaway.

Great stay at Honey Bee Hideaway.
The house is beautiful and very convenient with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths on one floor. The newly renovated back deck is awesome and a great place to hang and enjoy the view. Trista was a very helpful and accommodating host. She was quick to answer our messages and was super gracious when we needed to reschedule our trip. We would definitely stay again at the lovely Honey Bee Hideaway.

Perfect getaway!
My husband and I took a last minute trip to Highlands, NC to see the fall colors. We were so lucky to find Honey Bee Hideaway. The location is perfect and so are the views from the back balcony porch. The road is hard-top and not difficult to drive. Trista is awesome! You can tell she really loves the area and is happy to share info. There are waterfalls and hikes nearby, and town is only a 5 min drive. We took the drive into Cashiers to explore some more and ate at The Cornucopia for lunch, which has a nice nostalgic feel. The road to Cashiers is winding but was very beautiful. We went to Silver Run Falls which was an easy trail walk to the falls. I would highly recommend staying at this home. Thank you Trista for sharing it!

Amazing property in Highlands!
We recently took one last long weekend summer trip to Highlands in search of hiking, waterfalls, and ice cream every night! We found it all and more! Honey Bee Hideaway was the perfect home base for our family. GREAT location to everything, so easy to find and check into. Trista is hands down the best communicator I've ever dealt with in a STR. She was willing to help plan anything and quick to give recommendations for everything! Beautiful view from the back deck. When we weren't chasing waterfalls, we played games and watched movies at the house. Great for kids! Already recommending to friends with kids if they ever visit Highlands! Thank you Trista for your hospitality and for sharing your home with others! Wishing you all the success with HBH!

Great Peaceful Stay
We truly enjoyed our stay. We have three daughters 7 and under. They loved the home. Watching the sunset, breathing in the fresh mountain air, and then sitting in front of a fire inside was just the relaxation we needed. The location was PERFECT! A short easy drive to town. We started our stay with a walk to Glen Falls! Such a magical hike to begin our vacation. The kitchen was well appointed. The house was also clean and the beds were comfortable.

Wonderful Home
Great home. Excellent location. Room to spread out if you have 2 or more couples or kids. Expansive deck. Owners are super easy to work with, talk to, share information with. It would be nice to have check-out later than the posted 10am and check-in earlier than 4pm, by one hour respectively. However, the owners are super flexible and likely will work with you as long as other situations don't hinder a later check-out or earlier check-in.

Bee Warm
We stayed during the Christmas Artic Freeze of 2022 and never had any water or heating issues. Trista checked in on us to ensure we had no issues. We enjoyed a trip on the Polar Express, but because of the wind chill factor we could not take the grandchildren on any short hiking trips. However, our Bee Friendly home had plenty of space and toys to entertain the children. This was a great family Christmas vacation.

What a wonderful trip to Highlands North Carolina with our first grade team. Honeybee was our home away from home and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Trista is a wonderful host and we look forward to future trips to Honeybee. Thank you for your hospitality and for sharing your beautiful cabin with us. 😊

About the host

Host profile image
Welcome! We are absolutely thrilled that you are here! We know that you will have a wonderful stay and fabulous time in the beautiful town of Highlands! As avid travelers ourselves, we have stocked the place with all the essentials you will need for a comfortable stay.
I grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (GO STEELERS!) then moved to Atlanta, Georgia after college and have been here ever since.
My husband got into beekeeping back in 2016 because he loves the taste of honey and he loves tackling new adventures. We have many hives at our home in Georgia and he enjoys the beekeeping hobby. We harvest the honey each year and offer it to our friends and family: 3 Sweet Bees Honey.
Currently, I am home raising our three children and managing Honey Bee Hideaway.
I used to be a semi-professional baker and I had a home-based bakery: Sugar and Spice Sweets. I still enjoy baking and cooking and so do my girls! We also love camping and hiking as a family. Waterfall hikes are our very favorite, we haven't seen a waterfall in North Carolina that we didn't fall in love with!
North Carolina is one of our very favorite places to travel to. There are cities, beaches, waterfalls, and mountains all in one state! It's just the best of it all!
I love hosting people in our sweet Honey Bee Hideaway! I just love to connect with and meet new people, even if it's only virtually. I love to help people have a great time and explore the world. That's why I became a host!
We hope that you have an amazing time at Honeybee Hideaway and we'd love to host you the next time that you are in town. Bee Blessed!

Why they chose this property

Honey Bee Hideaway has been freshly painted and has lots of new updates to check out....and more coming soon!! The honey bee touches throughout the home are sure to keep you searching.

What makes this property unique

Glen Falls is just 1 mile down the road and it's one of our very favorite waterfalls in the Highlands area. The 3 minute drive to downtown Highlands for fabulous food and unique shopping is so simple and easy.
