WHAT OUR GUESTS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE HIDEAWAY:
"This place was beautiful and close to many things in the area. Both bedrooms were cozy, bathroom was clean and a great size, and the fireplace was great during the winter. We saw many deer close to the cabin which was a great surprise as well! Easy to get around to blowing rock, Appalachian ski mountain, grandfather mountain, and sugar mountain! Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a getaway. Brandi was super helpful and responsive!" - Jenny
"The house was beautiful! Very clean, comfortable, cozy. We utilized the fire pit area every evening we were there. Felt secluded, but was close to shopping & dining. Would stay there again!" - Tim
"It was the perfect getaway for me and my wife. The hideaway was an ideal basecamp to explore the mountains and wonderful communities of Blowing Rock, Boone and Banner Elk. The foliage was spectacular, especially from the peaks of Grandfather mountain and Table Rock. Our favorite restaurant for fine dining was the Beat Cellar in Blowing Rock. We will definitely be back!" ~ Joni

We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay! We truly love hosting and are incredibly grateful for guests like you who take the time to notice the details. Come visit again soon!
We were very happy with our stay at the Hideaway. Nice quiet spot to enjoy a couple of days in the mountains and all the attractions near by. Very clean and nicely supplied. We will hopefully return at some point.
We enjoyed our stayed at the Hideaway! It was just as pictured and the host/property manager was super helpful and responsive. Easy check in and out! Thanks for a great stay!
Only stayed for one night but the house was in the perfect spot, so clean and cozy it had everything we needed! Was so excited when we walked in and saw a Christmas tree lit up, it made the stay feel extra special and festive:) Would 100% stay at this location the next time we come to the mountains!
The cabin worked out perfectly for us. Loved the central location to both Sugar Mountain (for skiing) and Boone (for the great food). It’s also extremely close to a Dollar General in case you forget anything. Wish I would’ve paid attention in the listing that one room had a full size bed (the other has a queen), but we made it work for our family of four. Having access to a washer and dryer was a win for me. There’s a shared Jack and Jill type bathroom between the two rooms. The porch was an enjoyable place to hang out and loved the plethora of blankets provided. All in all I would definitely return.Only words of advice: Try to arrive when it’s still daylight. There are several steps you have to walk up to get your luggage into the house and when we arrived at night, we definitely felt the presence of some animals watching us.
The property was just as advertised. The house was clean, really thoughtfully decorated, perfect for a couple’s weekend. Brandi was very responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay here again. We loved everything about it.
My wife and I with two children under two drove up from West Palm Beach, Florida to visit this area of NC and the stay and experience superseded our expectations. The location was central to several attractions we visited, and the cabin was perfect for our small family.
We absolutely loved our stay. Everything was clean and cozy! It’s in a great location and the house had everything we needed. The host is uber responsive and great to work with. Will definitely book again:)
We stayed her for the weekend for my husband’s birthday. Cozy and clean. The shower has hard water but you just have to let it run for a minute or two. Very close to everything. We went into banner elk, Boone and over to Grandfather mountain. It was not cold enough to ski or snow tube while we were there but it’s close to the slopes. There’s a dollar general across the street if you need anything quick. Great place for a weekend getaway.

The property is modern and clean. Lovely decorations. Location is near several areas to visit so central. Host communicated well and was accommodating. Would recommend and stay again.
Super clean and well-stocked home with everything you need for a wonderful get-away. The firepit and deck were very relaxing and the decor was updated and well thought out. Highly recommend!
