We had a great time staying at the Hideaway! Early June weather was perfect and the extremely large porch lifestyle was just to our liking. Wifi was fast and strong to stream or catch up on any work emails. Our pups enjoyed the property too with a mix of areas to walk and to roam. Chuck and Vanda were very welcoming and informative and we look forward to booking again and visiting with them in the future!

This magical cabin has everything you need and more for cooking, grilling and relaxing. They have hand selected beautiful decor carefully and it shows. Homemade bake goods and ice cream were delicious. The condiments firewood were so thoughtful. The owners have thought of everything and their love and knowledge of the property is unbelievable. I will be dreaming of this cabin until we come back.

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!

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—

The cabin was great and had amazing views of the creek below. Chuck and Valda were very welcoming and attentive to our needs. They are great people and have many interesting stories about their property's history. As a wheelchair user, I was very impressed with the accessibility inside and outside the cabin. There were some inclines in the mountain terrain around their property, but I was able to get used to it after a few minutes. I actually surprised myself that I was able to get to virtually every part of the property. We brought our dog, and she got to play with Chuck and Valda's dog in the creek - they had a blast. We will definitely be booking again!

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.

It is difficult to put in to words what an amazing place Holyfield Hideaway turned out to be. If you are looking for a place to unwind way from the hustle, bustle and craziness of our world this is the place for you. First we were greeted by our hosts, Valda and Chuck as we arrived. They provided a very brief but informative history of the property and our surroundings. This was followed by a quick tour through the Hideaway showing the location of all the necessities and stressing to us if there was anything else we need they are happy to help. There was fresh homemade strawberry ice cream and chocolate chip cookies there to greet us as well. During the evenings my wife and I would start by grilling a delicious dinner on the large open deck and spending hours sitting around a fire and just visiting. We would sleep with the windows open so that we could hear the stream down below and the other noises of the woods. We spent our days doing much the same just relaxing, talking, napping out on the large open deck. We seldom left the property and we did not turn on the Television once. The kitchen is fully equipped and stocked with a nice selection of spices and condiments. This space will not allow me to describe the amazing hosts. Valda and Chuck are both wonderful people. Just warm and friendly Southern folks and and a joy to be around. We so enjoyed our time talking to them both. Each time I saw them, they wanted to make sure we had everything we needed.

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!

Streams of Living WaterChuck and Valda’s mountain retreat is absolutely breathtaking! We went to see the fall leaves… They were spectacular! When the wind would gently blow, the golden, shimmering leaves in all their brilliance would sparkle and twirl down to the ground and my granddaughter would proclaim with such delight, “It’s fall!” “It’s fall!” It was truly magical!Inside, the cabins were warm and cozy with a whimsical decor and outside were surrounded by a canopy of tall trees. Just below, was a winding crystal clear creek with smooth rocks and sounds of gently flowing water that lulled us to sleep each night as we snuggled in our comfy beds happy to be with family and excited to enjoy God’s creation at our very own private retreat!We loved fishing and exploring in the creek. It had an easy access or you could be adventurous and use the rope. I even had to try it! The grandkids loved the zip line! Some of our favorites were playing games, making s’mores, roasting hotdogs and telling scary stories around the fireplace. Thank you to Chuck for providing the wood and building the fire for us. We just had to light it! You really pampered us!We were very thankful to have both cabins including the bunkhouse. It provided more privacy for each family.Thank you Valda for your homemade treats. The chocolate chip cookies and strawberry ice cream were loved and enjoyed by all! You both have servants’ hearts and you warmed our hearts! God bless you always & forever!

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 property is even better in person, the images don’t do it justice. My husband and I had planned to visit a lot of Asheville but changed our minds and spent more time at the property! He fished, the dog played in the creek and I read. Such a relaxing environment. The house is fully stocked with everything you need and more and is SUPER clean!! If you get the chance, try some of Valda’s goodies. The peach butter is amazing! Highly recommend this property!!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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:)

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.

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.

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!

It is difficult to put in to words what an amazing place Holyfield Hideaway turned out to be. If you are looking for a place to unwind way from the hustle, bustle and craziness of our world this is the place for you. First we were greeted by our hosts, Valda and Chuck as we arrived. They provided a very brief but informative history of the property and our surroundings. This was followed by a quick tour through the Hideaway showing the location of all the necessities and stressing to us if there was anything else we need they are happy to help. There was fresh homemade strawberry ice cream and chocolate chip cookies there to greet us as well. During the evenings my wife and I would start by grilling a delicious dinner on the large open deck and spending hours sitting around a fire and just visiting. We would sleep with the windows open so that we could hear the stream down below and the other noises of the woods. We spent our days doing much the same just relaxing, talking, napping out on the large open deck. We seldom left the property and we did not turn on the Television once. The kitchen is fully equipped and stocked with a nice selection of spices and condiments. This space will not allow me to describe the amazing hosts. Valda and Chuck are both wonderful people. Just warm and friendly Southern folks and and a joy to be around. We so enjoyed our time talking to them both. Each time I saw them, they wanted to make sure we had everything we needed.

Perfect secluded location - My husband and I sat outside each night and listened to the creek flowing among all the other sounds of nature. Our kids ran back and forth and loved watching the water move. Chuck and Valda were accommodating and surpassed all of our expectations, truly wonderful people. We especially enjoyed hearing about the history of the property, so interesting! We hope to visit again!

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!

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

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.

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—

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.

If you want a quiet, rustic, relaxing cabin well here it is! The cabin itself was tucked away and completely private with everything a person could want or need to make their stay enjoyable. I do not know what I enjoyed the most between the old chimney fireplace or falling asleep to the sound of the creek. Both were very relaxing. The hosts were warm and very welcoming, almost making you feel like family. I could have sit and talked with them all night. Finding out that our cabin sit on an old buffalo trail and was built around a chimney that was made over 200 years ago was a plus. Also, the cabin is not hard to find. If you follow the directions given to you by the property owners it will take you right to the doorstep of your cabin. Both hosts are open minded and down to earth people who make some yummy pimento cheese and cookies. We will be returning soon!

Just warm and friendly Southern folks and and a joy to be around. We so enjoyed our time talking to them both. Each time I saw them, they wanted to make sure we had everything we needed.
It is difficult to put in to words what an amazing place Holyfield Hideaway turned out to be. If you are looking for a place to unwind way from the hustle, bustle and craziness of our world this is the place for you. First we were greeted by our hosts, Valda and Chuck as we arrived. They provided a very brief but informative history of the property and our surroundings. This was followed by a quick tour through the Hideaway showing the location of all the necessities and stressing to us if there was anything else we need they are happy to help. There was fresh homemade strawberry ice cream and chocolate chip cookies there to greet us as well. During the evenings my wife and I would start by grilling a delicious dinner on the large open deck and spending hours sitting around a fire and just visiting. We would sleep with the windows open so that we could hear the stream down below and the other noises of the woods.

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!

I have so much to say about our stay. First of all Chuck and Valda are the kindest most welcoming host we’ve ever met! Full of information and history! Truly delightful people! This property is even better in person, the images don’t do it justice. My husband and I had planned to visit a lot of Asheville but changed our minds and spent more time at the property! He fished, the dog played in the creek and I read. Such a relaxing environment. The house is fully stocked with everything you need and more and is SUPER clean!! If you get the chance, try some of Valda’s goodies. The peach butter is amazing! Highly recommend this property!!

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!

Chuck and Val, are amazing, if we could give it more than 10 stars we would! The outdoor fireplace was our favorite and I think we got the best sleep ever with the windows open listening to the creek!Amazing place and we would absolutely return! The history and stories they share make it even more special! Thank you both and Robel from Airy for an amazing long weekend! See you next time!

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.

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!

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.
