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...
Other things to note - All bed, bath and kitchen linens provided.***dog friendly*** no cats please due to allergies. Limit of 2 dogs & must crate if left alone. Owners will be held responsible for damages. We have heat & airconditioning. We have FIBER INTERNET for your work or school needs. We have a DVR player & a nice selection of family movies. We have a 31” tv with a Firestick. We have plenty to do in our area - hiking at our own Lamar Alexander Rocky Fork State Park (Tennessee’s newest wilderness park) just 4 miles down our road. The Sams Gap crossing of the AT is 3 miles up our road ! Local white-water rafting & ziplining at French Broad Adventures. Skiing/snow boarding is 15 minutes away from Hatley Pointe Ski Resort dine at their restaurant, Smoke and Timber. We are a National Wildlife Federation Certified Wildlife Habitat. Our tap water is from our 700’ deep well - we hit the aquaphor- pure, clean and delicious.
We are only 30 minutes away from Johnson City or Asheville. Please familiarize yourself with our directions before approaching as GPS is not always accurate here :( You will want to stop for groceries before arrival. Last stop for groceries/gas from the Johnson City direction on I-26E is Food City in Erwin, exit 37. Last stop for gas/groceries from the Asheville area on I-26W is Ingles in Mars Hill, exit 11. Either one is less than 20 minutes from us. Once here, you’ll never want to leave ! We would love to have you as our guests.

Cozy stay

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.

Anniversary get away

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!

Weekend getaway

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.

Breathe of fresh air

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.

Beautiful Property

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.

Quiet and Relaxing

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—

Great stay at the perfect getaway!

We had a great time staying at the Hideaway! Early June weather was perfect and the extremely large porch lifestyle was just to our liking. Wifi was fast and strong to stream or catch up on any work emails. Our pups enjoyed the property too with a mix of areas to walk and to roam. Chuck and Vanda were very welcoming and informative and we look forward to booking again and visiting with them in the future!

Hidden Gem

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!

Fantastic little hideaway

This is a fantastic little hideaway in TN that offers a lot of privacy and peace. 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.

We would like to thank Velda and Chuck for a most delightful stay. 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

Mountain retreat

We really enjoyed stayed at this cabin in Flag Pond. The location is just far enough outside of Asheville to feel remote, but close enough to make day trips! We also really enjoyed the town of Mars Hill which is close by. The cabin itself is fantastic with everything you could need. Chuck and Valda are amazing hosts who shared a lot about the history of the property! We loved the fireplace!
