Large Cabin for Big Family Fun

We enjoyed the big beautiful cabin with plenty of room for a large family group. The view from the outdoor deck and swing was amazing. It does require a curvy drive up on an unpaved road, but overall a great stay.

Nice and quiet location with great view

Thoroughly enjoyed this location since it was a very quiet, which is what we were looking for. Very little traffic on this mountain location. House was plenty of space for 5. Everything worked well and house was properly stocked. Two critiques: 1) Biggest critique is that the beds are small and extremely creaky. Owners should invest in better beds, especially at this rate. 2) Bedroom ceiling on the main floor leaked during a thunderstorm.

Beatiful settings. Challenging One Lane Private Driveway.

Very private location. The views are outstanding. Often above the clouds. Property is well maintained. Main levels furniture has seen a lot of use and is apparently designed for someone of Billy Barty’s stature. South facing windows on main floor could use some means of screening the very bright afternoon sunlight. The one lane private driveway has few places that one can comfotably pass another oncoming vehicle. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

GREAT VIEW

Great view from a very nice cabin in the mountains. Nice clean place with decent internet and TV. The host was very nice and provided great instructions on how to enjoy the cabin and surrounding places of interest. Very nice fire pit. Even though the weather was dreary we had a great time in the cabin.

Love Love Love

We loved our stay in Hayesville. Cabin was easy to find and just so incredibly beautiful. We had plenty of space for the 8 of us. Our favorite place was around the fire pit each night. It was very quiet and relaxing. Owner was very friendly and responded quickly with all questions. We would definitely want to return to this cabin.

Great stay for old times

What a treasure! We were so please with the house and environment. We happened to be the original builders of the house approximately 20 years ago and the house hasnt aged one bit. Amazing view, very functional house and just a fun visit. Will definitely rent again!

A family reunited reunion at Hidden Escape after so many years.” Perfect Home setting “

We were looking for a house with no stairs for the main entrance because one of our members was a disabled veteran with limited mobility that needed a bedroom & bathroom on the same floor. This house was perfect for our group. Amazing view off the left side deck of the lake & surrounding mountains. We definitely will be back to visit again. Very clean & accommodating house with lots of room. We also enjoyed the fire pit area that overlooked the beautiful view. 5 Stars

Fabulous High Mountain Cabin in the woods

We arrived to our beautiful vacation home with amazement of the view from the deck. The house was big enough for a houseful but we only had 3 - with 3 large bedrooms and 3 bathrooms - we each were able to enjoy our own privacy. Easily access to get into house and it was perfect for our quiet vacation for 5 days. We enjoyed the home cooked meals and the gorgeous view and weather. Grilled outside and enjoyed the peace and quiet of cabin living. We woke up each morning to a gorgeous sunrise and view atop the mountains. Watched the sunset also - would definitely come back here for another great rest and relaxation vacation. Owner was very fast to communicate and was a joy to work with.

Wonderful Family Getaway

The house was great. Views were breathtaking. Saw multiple deer around house/property. Our teens enjoyed the firepit, smores, and watching football downstairs. Furniture was comfortable but well-broken in, so you sink in a bit. Beds/bedrooms were comfortable. Sunrises/sunsets were amazing. Had a small issue when fireplace stopped working, but they were very responsive and were at the cabin first thing next morning. We chose this cabin because it was handicap accessible. My wife has mobility issues and is confined to a walker and wheelchair. It was great not to worry about stairs at the entry and having the extra driveway on the side of the house. We were able to get her downstairs by using it to drive her around (using 4wd) to enter the downstairs from the outside. And while there is a little plastic bar in the tubs/showers, there are no metal bars/handles, walk-in showers, or other accessibility resources. The toilets are also low to the ground and required another person to assist her getting on and off. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will be back!

Highly recommend this one!

We enjoyed our visit to the Hayesville during the long 4th of July weekend. Each evening, we could see fireworks from the deck. Loved the swing with the perfect lake and mountain views although it was very hot during our visit. The AC worked great. Bedding, towels, mattresses were all comfortable. There is only one bedroom on the main floor so stairs are required to get to the loft bedroom (no privacy door) or the basement bedroom. Bathrooms were clean. The house was well stocked. We enjoyed the puzzles although one was missing a piece! There are lots of various games and the internet worked great. My only complaint was the extremely leaky coffee pot which I did report to management and being woken up early by loud woodpeckers pecking on the house!

Nice interior

This property had beautiful views , the interior was nice. Spacious bedrooms. Hotub was fantastic. The exterior- porch boards are soft, holes in them, didn’t feel safe standing on the porch. The whole porch needs to be redone, nails sticking up. Needs to be completely redone. The windows were very dirty and holes in the screens. There were no spices, ziploc bags or foil. If up grades were made I would consider staying again. Needs some TLC…
