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! ##### David M.

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. ##### Melissa K.

You can hear the creek and cannot hear road noise. They are dog friendly and our golden retriever had a blast in the creek. Chuck and Valda are incredibly nice hosts and told us all about the history of the property which was fascinating. The home is a tiny home/studio but has all the essentials. We had a great trip. ##### Brian S.

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! ##### Bill B.

The outdoor spaces were so much fun. I had a fire in the 200 yr old chimney most mornings with my coffee. I have been in the hospitality industry for 42 years and these folk know what they are doing. We felt very well taken care of. Sincerely, Mathew, Hiram, and Lily ##### Mathew G.

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— ##### BARBARA I.

It was so cozy and lovely. We loved the sound of the creek, the deck was amazing, the bed comfortable and Vanda and Chuck were spectacular. We were greeted with homemade, cookies, peach ice cream, eggs and lots of supplies. Which was truly unexpected and such a perfect treat for us. Our dogs were living their best life running all around the cabin. Would highly recommend, Vanda and Chuck were some of the nicest people I've ever met. I hope we will be able to come back and visit them again! ##### Havilah R.

The Hideaway is one of the best and most unique places I have stayed in my LIFE! The sound of Sams creeks rustling through the property is absolutely breathtaking! Chuck and Valda are just the best!

This place is a gem. Overlooking the stream gave us a non-stop feeling of nature. Chuck and Valda are such warm hosts and did everything and more to make us feel welcoe. I know the homemade cookies and ice cream have been mentioned before but they were great. Sitting on the deck the first night with a cup of tea and a cookie by the stream was perfect. Valda and Chuck also pointed us in the direction of so many places to visit while we were there. Lovely cabin with everything we needed. Top stars to the Holyfields and their property. ##### patricia p.

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! ![Sam’s Creek](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f9967f41-9505-401d-8090-1af4768b7e20-1761426972001.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![S’mores night](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4ef9e8e0-4f0d-4df7-9783-ebc1005ce322-1761426972106.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Taking the rope down to the creek!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/960ca4bd-29eb-4d79-9282-364472033371-1761427226193.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Sam’s Creek](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8c37ff06-326e-476a-95a0-e4aff13eff26-1761427225786.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Cindy B.

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 ##### Toya L.

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. ##### Britt B. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ---
