Blue Ridge Mountain Retreat | Sleeps 26 | Pool, Spa, Game Room | Family Reunions

Some vacation rentals have amenities. This one has a whole itinerary.
Set on 5 private acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Hodo Hideaway is a 7,000 sq ft lodge designed for large groups who want space, privacy, and the kind of amenities that make everyone — from toddlers to grandparents — forget they have phones. Eight bedrooms sleep 26 comfortably. The mountain views are the kind you don't get tired of.

THE OUTDOOR EXPERIENCE
The centerpiece is a private pool with a waterslide and an oversized deck made for long afternoons with a drink in hand and nothing on the agenda. Heating is available for cooler months. A 7-person hot tub sits nearby with open views of the Blue Ridge ridgeline — the kind of soak that fixes whatever the week did to you. When the sun goes down, the fire pit takes over. Multiple decks give your group plenty of room to spread out, and two outdoor grills mean nobody has to coordinate dinner indoors.
A separate pool house with a clubhouse loft, half bath, and kitchenette handles cold drinks, snack prep, and overflow storage — keeping the chaos outside where it belongs.

THE INDOOR EXPERIENCE
Inside, two full living rooms — one upstairs, one down — give your group room to split up or pile together. Plush sofas, beanbags throughout, smart TVs with streaming on every screen, and fast WiFi mean downtime is actually restful.
The movie theater seats 15 in stadium-style chairs with a full heap of beanbag loungers for overflow, all in front of an 86-inch screen. This is not a "we hung a projector" situation — it's a real theater.
The game room is stocked with a pool table, air hockey, and a trampoline. A private office with two desks covers anyone who needs to check in with the real world.
In the backyard, a wooden swingset and clubhouse with a safety-fenced perimeter keeps younger guests occupied while the adults handle the important decisions about what to have for dinner.

THE BEDROOMS
Eight bedrooms across two floors sleep 26, with configurations for couples, families, kids' bunks, and even an infant.
Upstairs
The Family Suite — King bed, twin bunk, attached private bath with jetted garden tub, walk-in shower, and a private nursery access door. The nursery includes a crib, glider, and ottoman — everything you need, nothing you have to pack.
Bedroom 2 — Two queens, Jack-and-Jill bath with tub/shower combo, hallway access.
Bedroom 3 — One queen, shares the Jack-and-Jill bath with Bedroom 3.
Bedroom 4 — Two twins, full hall bath with tub/shower combo nearby.
Bedroom 5 — King suite with walk-in closet, walk-in shower, and a separate jetted tub. Private attached bath.
Downstairs
Bedroom 6 — One queen, private attached bath with tub/shower combo.
Bedroom 7 — Two twin bunks.
Bedroom 8 — One queen, one twin bunk. Bedrooms 8 and 9 share a full bath with stand-up shower.
Game Room — One twin bunk for the guest who wants to fall asleep ten feet from the pool table.
Additional: Half bath in the pool house. Outdoor shower adjacent to the pool house.

LOCATION
Minutes from downtown Blue Ridge — restaurants, shops, and the scenic railroad. Lake Blue Ridge, hiking trails, and local wineries are all a short drive. You're tucked away enough to feel completely private, close enough to everything that you're never stranded.

GOOD TO KNOW
The road to the property is a narrow mountain road. In winter weather or snow, 4WD or AWD is strongly recommended. A rental agreement is required prior to your stay — we'll send it over promptly after booking.

We're proud to host your group at Hodo Hideaway. However you're celebrating, whatever brought everyone together — we hope this place becomes the backdrop you come back to.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a private pool and a Smart TV. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.
Take advantage of recreation opportunities including a hot tub and a fitness center. This vacation home also features an arcade/game room and barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Nothing like the photos. Ladybug infested, old and not clean. Hair in sheets, appliances falling apart, towels were small, no soap, seems as if the house isn’t used ever. It’s not safe tbh. It has shakey stairs and uneven floors. I do not recommend this home. It’s nothing like the photos.

The picture of the house is the back of the house. The front of the house is a ranch style house and not a cabin look. The house needs some upgrades to the bathroom especially. The shower knobs were wobbly. The main living room has one small blue sofa and not the white sofas pictured. The sitting at the dining room table are metal chairs and not comfortable at all. The space is decent just in need of updating and painting.

The most amazing house! We used this for a bachelorette of 17 ladies - there were plenty of comfy beds, bedrooms, and bathrooms for everyone; the pool house had plenty of counter space, a fridge, and a bathroom which was great for bringing down drinks and snacks so we could all swim and have fun together; the gazebo and lounge chairs were great for relaxing and talking, the multiple common areas and game room inside meant many great options to socialize and have large meals indoors; and the stars were amazing at night from the fire pit. The hosts were very responsive to all our questions. Would recommend this house to anyone - we hope to return with other friends in the future.

What a great stay!

This house was plenty big enough for our large group that stayed. There are coffee makers and refrigerators on both levels of the house, enough bathrooms, an incredibly sweet game room and theater for the kiddos. The pool was huge and they have plenty of inflatables and noodles. They also have a coffeemaker and a refrigerator at the pool. I would say the house is definitely stressed looking in some parts and the refrigerators take about 2 days to get cold, but overall it was such a great time. Very happy we chose Hodo Hideaway! We will be back.

This place is MASSIVE! It comfortably fit the 20+ family members for our annual family vacation. The pool and hot tub were wonderful. It overlooked the mountains and had plenty of space for the 6 or 7 cars we had. Absolutely would recommend to any large groups for a beautiful stay in the mountains!

Ideal North Georgia Getaway

Fall foliage vacation for family of 19 with mix of age groups. This is a fantastic property with spacious accommodations and room to roam outside. The dramatic and secluded location perfectly fit our desire for a mountain getaway. The host was very responsive and addressed all our questions and needs. Gorgeous and functional house, fantastic host - highly recommended!!

Overall good experience

Very pretty view!! The property has more wear and tear than shown in the pictures. It could use another full bathroom in the bottom floor (replacing the small gym with a full bathroom would be perfect). It also needs some hook on bedroom walls that don’t have closets. The current owner recently purchased the property so I bet some up-dates are coming. We did have a great time and the host was very quick to respond.
