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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Trista Ross

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.
