Can’t recommend this VRBO enough! Great location for hiking and scenery. Exceptionally clean and well maintained. Just big enough to be what you need and all the little extra touches by the hosts are fantastic. Book it now!

Thank you for your kind words! Thanks for staying with us at our campground!
We stayed here 3 nights to do some hiking around Grayson Highlands. The location of the cabin is absolutely perfect with beautiful views right from the front door. My son really loved the arcade, which was a really fun perk to our stay here. The cabin had everything we were looking for and then some. This was one of our favorite trips we've taken and the cabin played a big part in that. If/when we come back to this area, we will be staying here again.
The cabin was as advertised and extremely clean. The deck offers a nice view and atmosphere. There are other cabins on the property but they are spaced out to give you seclusion. Enjoyed the stay!
Lovely little cabin with everything we needed. Close to Grayson Highlands SP and several activities on the Highlands Hideaway properties. The general store has the basics you'll need to keep everyone fed and happy.
The stay was great. It's just a few minutes to the entrance of Grayson Highlands State Park and a great price. It's comfortable, modern with Alexa, Wifi, TV, etc...but still out in the country with a nice stream a short walk away. Very nice place to stay overall. The driveway is pretty steep.
My best friend and I go on a girls adventure trip each year. We always try to stay at the same price point. With that price point, let me tell you, we’ve stayed at some dives. But this cabin exceeded all expectations. It’s cozy, well decorated, feels safe and one of our fave places we’ve stayed. We WILL be back!

Thank you so much for the kind words! Building this campground has always been a passion project for us and something we've always wanted to do. It’s never been about chasing money, what truly matters is creating a place where people can connect with nature, make memories with loved ones, friends, and family. Knowing that we’ve left a lasting impact on someone’s life or given them a moment they’ll never forget is worth far more to us than money ever could be.
Came for hiking in Grayson Highlands. Everything was very clean, had everything we needed, would stay again. Kids loved the cabin itself and the arcade down the hill. Cabin has a nice view. Excellent communication from the host given they were out of power due to a winter storm the day we were set to arrive. They worked with us with what whatever we decided to do, and we decided to still come. Power was restored prior to our arrival. We also visited Appalachian Caverns with the kids which is about an hour and a half away. Had a great weekend.
Recommend advising your guests about the steep driveway and that it requires a higher clearance vehicle. Our friends sustained car damage at the top of the driveway.
Need hooks in bathroom.
Need a regular coffee maker, not a Keurig.
Need more blankets!
Otherwise, fun cabin.

Cindy thanks for your helpful advise, we messaged you during your stay to inquire about any issues, but never received any response :( The Keurig has a coffee insert but we will get a pot and your other recommendations. The driveway is steep, but we've taken vehicles from large trucks to sports cars with 4" clearance up without any issues. Please, check your messages and get back to me :)
Great cabin with beautiful views. Was like a home away from home - everything we needed to cook meals, beds were super comfortable, very clean and the perfect location for hiking at Grayson Highlands State Park. Thank you for a wonderful stay

About the host
Hosted by Highland Hideaways
We're based in Raleigh, NC, but you may find us at Highland Hideaways more often than not. I work as a Network Engineer, and my wife is a Cardiac Sonographer.
In 2021, we purchased Rumple's Retreat and have been working tirelessly to expand Highland Hideaways ever since. We both love to tinker, which led to the creation of an arcade in early 2022. We renovated, built, or upgraded all of the games in the arcade and continued to expand by adding a theater in mid-2022.
We started construction on The Overlook in early 2022, and finished in early 2024.
Our passion for building and renovating led us to also purchase and renovate Wild Horse Lodge the cabin below in early 2023.
What makes this property unique
The beautiful creek that runs through the property is always singing, you can hear it best from the overlook cabin. This cabin was built on the side of the hill where you can see the valley below, tucked away and secluded from the rest of the rentals.
