Hideaway from it all ! Holyfield Hideaway, Flag Pond, Tennessee

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.

Everything was perfect. Chuck and Valda are the absolute best. Amazing location and close proximity to Rocky Fork state park is perfect..Thanks so much

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!

This little gem is the perfect place for a getaway. Chuck and Valda were the most amazing hosts and went above and beyond to make our stay special. This may have been our first time staying at the Hideaway but it will not be our last!!!!

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.

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.

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!

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:)

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.

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.

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.

Chuck and Valda are wonderful people. The cabin was spacious and the porch was immense. There were all kinds of games and things to do.

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.

It was a great getaway. The sound of the creek all day and being able to open the windows was definitely worth it! Chuck and Valda were wonderful and made the stay very enjoyable.

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!

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!!

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!

Everything was wonderful- the cabin, the porch, the creek, and the amazing decor!But the best of all- Chuck & Valda.Will be back often!

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.

First, the hosts. Valda and Chuck seem at one with their property, 25 acres in the beautiful Tennessee woods. A truly wonderful couple, and I am very thankful I had a chance to sit and talk with them a bit. Their love of life, their family and the magic of the forest was magnetic and made it hard to leave. Thank you both for a truly wonderful time, esp important as the stay was to accommodate support for my AT through-hiking wife who I hadn't seen in six weeks. Through hikers seem to have some celebrity out here, so it was cool.A main house and couple cabins are strategically located around the property, taking advantage of the lay of the land to immerse you in history and the serenity of the forest. A wonderful stream cascades 30 feet below the Hideaway, accessible, but it does take a little work. Use the rope and make your life easier. Beautiful property and as we were the only guests, there was plenty of wandering room around the 12 acres on our side of the road.We enjoyed a very well appointed cabin for two (or four w/ couch), but probably tight for two couples. Has all you need, and the bed, which we both thought felt not so great when we first arrived, was wonderful and we slept very well. Nice size bathroom. The pavilion makes it. A couple hundred square feet of open, yet covered area to enjoy the continual breeze, play games (there's plenty), enjoy a fire or just sit and do nothing. The signs representing places around the world make a real nice touch.

The hideaway is a great spot for a quiet weekend retreat. Chuck and Valda were delightful. The cabin is clean and cozy and was perfect for us!

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.

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—

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!

Recently stayed at the Holyfield Hideaway and had an excellent time wven with the weather conditions. We stayed the weekend of Hurricane Helene and lost power, internet, cell service and water (well water). Chuck and Val were excellent host kept checking in on us and made sure we had what we needed. We cant wait to visit again when the area recovers from the destruction.

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.

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!

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!!

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
