Hideaway Cabin- Escape to this Log Cabin IN the woods

Forget all your day to day worries in this 3 bedroom, 2 bath secluded log cabin located about 3 miles from town. Even though this cabin is secluded, it’s not remote. It’s bordered by unspoiled properties, some of which are protected in perpetuity.

The main level offers the living area with wood burning fireplace, open kitchen area, covered front porch, small screened entry porch, Mst. BR with King bed, one bath, mud room, and back open deck area. The upper level has a full bath in between two bedrooms- one is a large BR with Queen bed and TV (for DVD use), and the other is an open loft bedroom with a queen bed. The loft looks over into the living area which has a queen sleep sofa.

The grounds are kept natural and are full of native wild flowers, ferns, rhododendrons and mountain laurel. There are two hammocks here, a Chimenea, fire pit- great place for story telling and making S’mores, and a corn hole game as well. This cabin is air conditioned and has satellite TV and DVD player. For the grill masters, there’s a Green Egg grill to cook up your masterpiece steak or fresh caught mountain trout.

WiFi is included, but this is still a great spot to disconnect, relax, unwind and enjoy the mountains.

This home has a three- night minimum, except for HOLIDAYS AND SOME LOCAL EVENTS.
The rental app you are using may allow you to make two or three-night rentals during these times, but that doesn't mean the reservation will be honored.

Great stay in the woods for our family and dog.

A charming cabin surrounded by Mountain Laurel and a beautiful moss path. We traveled with my husband and myself, two young adult sons and a girlfriend, and my mother in law. The space was very sufficient. One person slept in the pullout bed which was comfortable. Loved the porch amenities and the fire pit. Grateful to find equipment to roast smores as well. We cooked in a few meals and found everything we needed including a few spices available. The dishwater was badly chipped so we left a few new plates for future use. The location is only a few minutes from downtown and we had no problem coming or going from the Main St area. The WiFi was sufficient for our needs. The decor is traditional and could use a little updating, but clean, comfortable, and charming. I would rent this place again.

Dirty House - Do Not Recommend

The house was extremely dirty. It did not look like it had been cleaned for some time. There were dead bugs in the kitchen light fixtures and all around the house. The home was treated as someone’s storage unit and there was junk everywhere. Even the light fixtures didn’t work because the lightbulbs had not been changed so we had to go buy lightbulbs. I highly do not recommend this home because of how dirty and gross of a home and how they have managed to maintain it.

Country cabin

We loved the cabin-kitchen was nice for thanksgiving-I was not satisfied with the linens-our blanket under the comforter had moth holes in it and the towels had pills-all need to be replaced! A washcloth had moth webs on it-gross!

Definitely a bonafide "Cabin in the woods"

It had all the essentials, was clean and perfect for our needs. No close neighbors or busy roads. Our dogs had plenty of space as did we. We would stay here again.

Nice Hideaway Cabin

We enjoyed the Hideaway Cabin and it was a great retreat for our family to enjoy time in beautiful Highlands! It was perhaps a little secluded, but in general close enough to town and far enough away at the same time. The cabin was large enough for our needs and we really enjoyed relaxing on the covered porch, and cooking meals together in the kitchen. Only bummer was they advertised having a Big Green Egg, which got my hopes up. After speaking with the property manager he warned me it wasn't in very good condition, and he was correct. Alas, we still enjoyed our stay at Hideaway Cabin and would go back again. P.s. there was a great little swimming hole and waterfall just a short bike ride away.

Beautiful vaulted ceilings, great porches, and seclude setting made for a peacefu and relaxing time

Enjoy the wooded setting along with the swing, hammock, and smoking some barbecue in the smoker. Very close proximity to downtown.

Cute cabin nestled in the woods

We loved our stay here and would happily go back! Everything we needed was there and it was a clean and cozy cabin. It was very private, completely surrounded by woods. It was a short drive into Highlands so very convenient. The only negative was the kitchen was outdated as we could not get the oven to work. They did have a toaster oven so we used that instead. Highly recommend going to Dusty's Superette for meats to grill!
