Quietly, hidden away under a canopy of trees in the Appalachian mountains, is one of East Tennessee's best-kept secrets - until now.

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.
Valda and Chuck are marvelous hosts with a stunning mountain property. We and our dogs did not want to leave this beautiful, tranquil woodland retreat. Everything was perfect and we cannot wait to come back.
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.
We ( my spouse, me, and our dog) had a lovely stay over Christmas. Chuck and Valda were wonderful hosts and Chuck graciously helped two city folks with building an outdoor fire. Our dog loved lounging on the deck and we had everything we needed to cook a few holiday meals. 10/10!
We had a great stay at Hide away from it all! The place was so beautiful and so quiet! The beauty around this cabin is awesome and the great history of the area is all around that land. The hosts were so nice and accomodating, they even left cookies and homemade ice cream. We will be returning soon!
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.
Perfect stay in every way! Host is amazing and friendly, such a sweet couple. Anything you need in cabin for your stay that you may forget to bring. Was welcome with fresh chocolate cookies and homemade ice cream!! We plan to come back again in the spring. Our fall trip to see the mountains made even more amazing with our stay at the cabin! We stayed for three days but my husband said he would like to stay a whole week next time. Thank you Velda and Chuck:)
We spent a wonderful 4 nights at The Hideaway. The cabin is nestled in the woods and was cozy and well equipped for all of our needs. Val and Chuck were gracious and welcoming hosts. They were available to us for any questions or needs and shared with us the fascinating history of the property and area. We were there to celebrate Tom’s birthday and Val made him a delicious cake in addition to the homemade cookies and ice cream provided in the cabin.The deck was amazing with a beautiful view of the creek and woods. We were a short drive from the state park and enjoyed hiking there with our dog. We can’t wait to come back and experience The Hideaway in other seasons.
Our stay was fantastic, the perfect place to enjoy a beautiful setting in nature and family. My sister and her family rented the other cabin and bunkhouse on property that made for a wonderful vacation between our families. This was her second time staying here bc she loved the property so much. I will def be back!!
If I could give a higher rating I would. The host were amazing, chuck showed us around and told us some of the history about the property and there is alot of cool facts. Valda gave us a big hug and made us feel right at home. The property is fun to explore with a really nice creek. The cabin is was perfect for my wife and I to celebrate it anniversary. The state park just a few miles away had some great hiking. We will defiantly be coming back again.And also can’t forget about there dog that will come visit and keep you company especially if your cooking some good sausage or bacon. 10 out of 10 for real!
My stay was just what I hoped for! The property was in a perfect location to enjoy abundant hiking opportunities and then come back and relax for a peaceful evening around the historic fireplace. Chuck and Valda are very accommodating and the cabin well stocked with everything I could need. I really appreciated the cleanliness and artful touches. Thank you and I hope to return someday.
We really enjoyed the 200 year old fireplace surrounded by the autumn colors of the surrounding trees. Our hosts, Chuck and Val, were so welcoming when we arrived. We got a tour and enjoyed hearing some local stories and history of the property. Very comfortable stay with everything one could need. Chuck gave us a tour of the other nifty cabins on their property and Val even made us homemade cookies and strawberry ice cream!
Wonderful cozy stay. We came for a family wedding in Flag Pond. The host was very accommodating & had great stories about the property & surrounding area. The homemade ice cream and cookies were bonus and greatly appreciated. For a family with 2 small children, this worked well. The outside space was very charming with the old fireplace. Thank you for sharing your lovely space.
This is a fantastic little hideaway in TN that offers a lot of privacy and peace. You can hear the creek and cannot hear road noise. They are dog friendly and our golden retriever had a blast in the creek. Chuck and Valda are incredibly nice hosts and told us all about the history of the property which was fascinating. The home is a tiny home/studio but has all the essentials. We had a great trip.
This was our favorite short term rental we have ever been to! Super peacful with the sound of a running creek just 100 ft away. The cabins history and surrounding area is a facinating story. The cabin had everything you need to feel comfortable and all kinds of cool knick nacks everywhere you look. You can tell the hosts really put a lot of effort into maintaing the property. A superb value at the listed price, we highly recommend!
We would like to thank Velda and Chuck for a most delightful stay. The outdoor spaces were so much fun. I had a fire in the 200 yr old chimney most mornings with my coffee. I have been in the hospitality industry for 42 years and these folk know what they are doing. We felt very well taken care of.
Sincerely, Mathew, Hiram, and Lily
The Hideaway was perfect! Chuck and Valda have thought of everything! Fully stocked bathroom (even Advil, etc.) and kitchen pantry (oil, seasonings, all the basics - PLUS - to cook a meal), eggs and bagels, homemade ice cream and cookies, ice in the freezer— everything we needed! Side note: the water here is delicious! A fire in the fireplace on the pavilion was perfect in the rain. Sigh… A Christmas movie on the tv with twinkling Christmas tree lights and the sound of rain on the roof—
My son and our two dogs stayed for a few days at this cute little woodland cottage. It was so cozy and lovely. We loved the sound of the creek, the deck was amazing, the bed comfortable and Vanda and Chuck were spectacular. We were greeted with homemade, cookies, peach ice cream, eggs and lots of supplies. Which was truly unexpected and such a perfect treat for us.
Our dogs were living their best life running all around the cabin. Would highly recommend, Vanda and Chuck were some of the nicest people I've ever met. I hope we will be able to come back and visit them again!
My husband and I celebrated our 31 anniversary.08-14 8-16.All the best reviews of our Host Chuck and Valda are so true.It was great to be able to take our two big dogs with us.Chuck and Valda shared their front yard with us,beautiful view of the water. My favorite was listening to the water and all the moss.Two night isn’t enough,booking more next time.
We didn’t want to leave.
Thanks again Chuck and Valda
I don’t even know where to begin! The Hideaway is one of the best and most unique places I have stayed in my LIFE! The sound of Sams creeks rustling through the property is absolutely breathtaking! Chuck and Valda are just the best! From the homemade cookies and ice cream to all of the wonderful stories about the property, it just doesn't get much better! 5 Stars does not do this wonderful place justice! Thank y'all again so much! We will be back!!!
This place is a gem. Overlooking the stream gave us a non-stop feeling of nature. Chuck and Valda are such warm hosts and did everything and more to make us feel welcoe. I know the homemade cookies and ice cream have been mentioned before but they were great. Sitting on the deck the first night with a cup of tea and a cookie by the stream was perfect. Valda and Chuck also pointed us in the direction of so many places to visit while we were there. Lovely cabin with everything we needed. Top stars to the Holyfields and their property.
Everything about this stay was amazing! Valda and Chuck have truly created a beautiful oasis here, it's such a beautiful location and so peaceful. The sound of the creek running through the property is just so relaxing. It was also the middle of July yet it was so nice and cool.
Chuck was happy to share the history of the property and the area, love the old buffalo trail and 200+ year old fireplace is beautiful.
It's a great location to explore NE TN and the stunning mountain views, Johnson City is only a 30 minute drive so nice and close. Valda and Chuck are such warm & wonderful hosts from the yummy homemade cookies and ice cream to the wonderful conversations this was my favorite vrbo stay! HIGHLY recommend 10/10 Thank you both for your warm southern hospitality. xoxo Tom & Toya
The stay was absolutely beautiful! It was a perfect blend of nature and society, as we were in gorgeous, vibrant forestry but also had some fellow hikers here and there. The small town (Erwin) nearby was also a nice balance as it wasn’t overcrowded or heavily touristy.
The creek outside and down the hill was soothing, and energetic at the same time. The living quarters were warmhearted, well-equipped and very comfortable. We felt like we were at home inside the cabin and out in the pavilion, even being a couple hundred miles away from where we came.
Chuck greeted us when we arrived with smiles, great history/ background of the area/the property, and helpful recommendations. We met Valda the following morning on our way to the first destination (Lamar Alexander State Park) with smiles, warmth and a great welcome. If we needed anything, we knew we could ask with ease. Over the three days we were there, we had nothing but amazing views and experiences. We would definitely recommend Valda and Chuck’s hospitality and their beautiful property. The surrounding areas were breathtaking and provided a good range of options for nature-lovers. They have a special spot here to share with those looking for a hideaway to relax in or to excite any of the senses. It is definitely a world of its own!
