You won’t find better hosts anywhere. They were excellent in every way. Cute small cabin that didn’t lack for anything. Overlooks a gorgeous running creek. Secluded and private. We loved it and will be returning again.

The hosts are part of what makes this place so wonderful. Valda and Chuck greeted us and gave us a brief history of the property and made sure we had everything we needed. The property is nestled in the woods right off the interstate and is peaceful from the moment you step foot out of the car. It is also conveniently located about 20 minutes from two different small towns. There is ample outdoor hang out space, a grill, and outdoor fireplace. The inside is just what you need for a getaway. It was clean and everything we needed while there was in the cabin! All of the basics such as cups, plates, cooking utensils, etc. were easily locatable, there was not a thing we needed. There was also board games, DVDs, wifi, and book for your use. You can hear the creek running from right outside of the cabin! We will certainly be back and cannot recommend this location enough.

Had an amazing stay at the Hideaway cabin. It was cozy, comfortable and just what we hoped for. Fantastic scenic views nestled next to running creek and secluded forest. Perfect place to relax also conveniently located to Erwin and Asheville. Absolutely awesome hosts with a genuine concern we had the best experience possible.

Chuck and Val’s place is positively beautiful and peaceful. It’s the perfect getaway for an extended weekend to relax and fit in some good hikes around the area. They were so warm and welcoming and added so many little perfect touches around the cabin and property. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to others.

I had a most wonderful stay! The HIDEAWAY was just what I was looking for, a cozy cabin in the woods that was still close enough to the major highways to take me to where I needed to be while I was in Tennessee.Valda and Chuck were welcoming and had so many sweet extra touches that made my stay even more special! I would DEFINATELY return, if I am ever planning another trip to this area.

Beautiful location, and hosts Chuck and Valda go above and beyond. The cabin was clean, and the kitchen had everything you could ever need for cooking! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect vacation. Our 2 dogs loved running around, and playing in the creek, and even made friends with the resident dog! The property has so much history - and I'm sure we only scratched the surface! We will definitely be back.

This is a quaint little studio cabin with full kitchen and internet. The outdoor patio is great with lots of space to hang out and a fireplace. Firewood was provided for us. The creek is down a steep slope, but there are ways to get to it if you are keen to explore. Chuck and Valda met us on our arrivala nd gave a lot of great information about the history of the area and our cabin in particular. It was like staying with a favorite Aunt and Uncle than with strangers.
