About this property

"Hidden Secret" High Country romance & respite, on 4 acres

A secluded get away providing an opportunity to rejuvenate or maybe to rekindle a romance in a luxury studio.... This location on four private acres, however, is central to restaurants, shopping, hiking and fun in the High Country. This property is nature at its best. Your patio gives a view - and sound - of the Creek below and the beauty of the mountains above, providing sunshine as well as a forested area which provides cool shade in the Summer. Spring brings many songbirds and a full moving loud stream; Summer brings berries, mountain laurel and native Rhododendron, while late Summer yields butterflies on an expansive area on the Creek. Hiking opportunities along the Blue Ridge Parkway and NC Mountains to Sea Trail are a quick drive over our hill, and the New River can be accessed about a mile away. Many options are available for restaurants about 20 minutes away in Boone as well as in the charming town of West Jefferson. In the winter, you will find skiing options begin about 45 minutes away in Blowing Rock with Beech or Sugar Mountains further out. Autumn in the High Country may provides trees turning red, orange and yellow and crisp evenings as the sun sets. Relax on the patio at the end of the day enjoying a glass of wine , cider, or coffee - no matter the Season, .... at "Hidden Secret!"

Charming lower level, daylight basement apartment with everything we needed. Clean and peaceful. The owners were attentive and courteous. Melodious creek and unique windchimes created an immediate relaxing environment upon arrival. We spent most of our time outdoors. There were welcoming kitties who kept us company while outside. Happy to stay again.

It was great for what we wanted but my only complaint was tha there was no light over the sink in the bathroom and couldn’t see to apply makeup. We were served delicious breakfast pastry on our last morning and enjoyed eating it outside on the patio.

We had a lovely couples getaway. This place is the perfect hideaway and we loved using the fireplace. The little creek is a short walk from the house and we got the blessing of seeing a few inches of snow while we were here. It was beautiful. I would love to stay again in the future!

This place was so well done, everything we needed. The fireplace was such a treat, and very easy to use. I was very impressed with how the owner did this apartment, deer on the property, rushing creek sounds below. Really enjoyed my stay!

4th Getaway

The property itself was beautiful and quiet. The unit was a little tight for us older adults to move around, not much room. Also the bed for us was just not comfortable.We also did not see anywhere online that the unit did not have air. For us older adults, it just did not work.

Perfect Getaway

We had a wonderful stay at Hidden Secret. Everything was as described and the studio was super clean. It’s perfect for a couple :) The hosts were very welcoming and responded quickly to any questions we had. The nature is absolutely beautiful and the sound of water is so soothing and relaxing. We enjoyed having breakfast on the patio despite it being cold :)

Comfy and Cozy Little Getaway

We spent the weekend at your wonderful rental once again and had a wonderful time. Everything was clean and comfortable. I absolutely love the wind chimes. We sat on the bench outside as the sun was setting Friday Night and listened to the creek and the wind chimes. So relaxing.

Wonderful “hidden secret”

The suite is immaculate! The property is very gorgeous with all tree, the sound of the running creek & the wind chimes. The bench down at the creek is a perfect touch for the peaceful down time. Location is great to get to the blue ridge parkway. The hosts are very sweet & personable & the fresh home made croissants are the perfect end to a wonderful long weekend away.

Overflow family

We chose this listing for my brothers visit. Our home is about 10 minutes away. We needed a place for overflow guests visiting here for the 41st Annual New River Canoe Race. This property was perfect. My brother was comfortable and we would choose this property again, especially with its proximity to both West Jefferson and Boone.

Sabbatical

I needed some place to be alone for a few days and this was the perfect place. Having Pat and Richard upstairs was comforting. They never bothered me but being alone in the mountains would have been a bit scary for me.
