About the host

Hosted by Highland Hideaways

Host profile image
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.
