    Great mountain home! I can’t say enough great things about this property! The views were wonderful, the house was extremely clean, the location was perfect, and the kitchen was fully stocked plus some. I’ve rented a lot of VRBO properties over the years and I can honestly say that the owners of the Honey Bee Hideaway are the most organized and informative hosts I’ve ever encountered. They really thought of all the little things that might be helpful for a guest and the details on what to do in the area was extensive! We can’t wait to go back to stay here again!

    From the first contact with Trista, she was the most amazing host. She supplied SO much information about the area and things that interested us. The property was wonderful with every detail you could think of taken care of. Beds are comfortable (always a concern) and property clean. We had rain twice during our stay, but it didn't dampen our fun while there. We loved the covered porch area and ate our meals there. I highly recommend a stay there - you are made to feel like the most welcomed guest.

    This is our second time staying at this property. Beautiful deck and views. Clean and good layout all on same level. Close to town for restaurants and shopping. Perfect house for two older adults and teen grandchild.

    We spent four nights at Honeybee Hideaway with two kids and a dog for our spring break and we had the most fun and relaxing time. The house was super clean and had everything we needed and more. Trista was super helpful while we were making plans and very responsive during our trip. Our kids loved the mountain coaster and the public pool water slide, we hiked Glen Falls which was incredible, and ate at many restaurants in Highlands including Blue Bike (twice), Stubborn Bull and Ugly Dog. The view off the back porch is amazing for sunsets and the neighborhood is so peaceful and quiet but just a short drive to all the action in town. We will definitely be back!

    This was the perfect home to relax and make memories! We spent all of our mornings and evenings on the back porch in front of the fire - stunning!. Every detail was thought of - nothing was overlooked. The location is so close to town, but you feel like you're away from the hustle and bustle when you get back to Honeybee Hideaway. The owners put a lot of love and thought into this home, and you can really feel it while you're staying there. Trista was very responsive and accommodating to our requests. In all my years on VRBO, this was my best experience to date!

    Excellent! The location is perfect. Trista, the host, is amazing. During our stay she was away on a family trip as well and still communicated with us immediately. Incredible host. It doesn’t get better. The property was lovely. Our family really enjoyed the trip. We plan on making it a Thanksgiving tradition.

    We loved the covered back porch with a view of the mountains while enjoying the fireplace on the cool evenings. The location of the house was very close to town yet, it felt like we were hidden away in the mountains.
