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

Quietly, hidden away under a canopy of trees in the Appalachian mountains, is one of East Tennessee's best-kept secrets - until now. Nestled above Sam's Creek and Oberlin Falls, the Holyfield Hideaway sits on an ancient Indian and buffalo trail - later becoming the old wagon road connecting East Tn. to NC.. Nowadays:), you can drive right up in your car - no steps onto the pavilion deck or through the front door. The 630 sq.ft. Hideaway is furnished with antique brass headboard, king bed, queen sofa bed, pack n’ play upon request, dining table with 4 chairs, kitchen & bathroom w/ standing shower. All connecting to an 800 sq.ft. deck with propane grill, dining table for 4, hammock and so much more. Create memories to last a lifetime while sitting around the fire, dreaming under the stars...

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!

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.

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 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.

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:)

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!
