Walking to many things. TV is old (no smart apps), but that was fine, forced us to do fun things like play chess and do puzzles! ##### Ankur V. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Shannon W. 13 Jan 2025 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### In need of some TLC! The property is in an excellent, walkable location near the main strip, which we thoroughly enjoyed. However, the home itself is in significant need of both interior and exterior repairs. Upon entering, we were immediately overwhelmed by a strong musty smell, likely due to the wooded surroundings and persistent moisture issues. To make matters worse, we found a dead mouse in the main living upon arrival, which was extremely off-putting.The mustiness triggered a severe allergic reaction for me, making it difficult to enjoy our stay while we needed to be there, it was so bad our friends who joined left a day early. While there is a dehumidifier available, it required constant monitoring and emptying to manage the damp conditions. Despite the lease paperwork indicating a pre-arrival inspection, we later learned the property had last been cleaned/ inspected since six days prior to our check-in. Communication with the property manager came after one phone call and a second email. They did refund the cleaning fee, which I appreciated.The exterior of the home is visibly affected by wood rot, and while the large windows provide great views, the lack of window coverings presents a privacy issue that some may not enjoy. We had to hang towels in the upstairs bedroom window and noticed passersby on the path beside the house could see into the downstairs restroom and anyone can see through the front of the home. This property fell short of expectations. ##### Shannon W.

The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cannot recommend due to:1\. Air quality.2\. Humidity inside.3\. Bugs inside.4\. Trash outside.5\. Poor drainage of driveway.6\. Poor condition of dishes & kitchen equipment.7\. Tiny TV, inadequate service.There is a heavy musty/moldy odor when you enter the house. It is very damp inside, and the dehumidifier never stops running. Within a few hours we had runny noses,coughs,and itching, burning eyes. Good location, and it could be very nice, but not well-maintained or appointed. The dishes had chips and chunks out of them, and the coffee cups got dangerously hot in the microwave. This was our second year in this property, and not one thing was improved, added or changed. For example, the kitchen sink sprayer was broken and wouldn't sit in its hole. The pots and pans were very old and in poor condition. When it rained, we had to wade through water up to our ankles to get in the door. There was contractor debris outside. The management company was great; we wouldn't hesitate to use them again. ##### A guest from Marco Island, florida This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ed G. 16 Sept 2024 #### Hidden Hollow Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful.

Reviewer Comments: For the most part, we were very happy with our stay at this rental house. The accommodations were great, the vicinity was the best, and the decorations were awesome! The place did smell as though it had been empty for quite some time. There were cobwebs in several places, dust bunnies in the corners, and it just felt as though it had not been cleaned in a while. ##### Julie W.

Cool little cabin tucked into the woods, but right downtown Highlands. Perfect to walk to all the restaurants and bars. Highly recommend and would stay again.

Reviewer Comments: The sheets on the master bed were worn thin and pulled. The jetted tub when turned on produced black mold coming out of the jets. The sofa table/ chest in front of the couch was broken and the wood top was just laying on top and came flying off. Needs to be glued down. Other then that it was a lovely place to stay. ##### Kathryn H.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great experinece at Hidden Hollow. The home was even more beautiful than the pictures could capture. There are trails right from the house that lead to the Rec center and down to a beautiful creek. It is always walking distance to everything in downtown highlands, which was key! The kitchen is well equipped with pots/pans/dishes, etc but they do not provide any salt/pepper/EVOO/butter, etc, so be sure to bring your own spices and basics if you are cooking. We were right at home and had a wonderful stay. ##### Ali J. ### 6/10 Okay #### Julia K. 9 Jul 2025 Liked: Location, listing accuracy #### Highlands getaway Location was excellent but there were multiple items in the home that were broken or nonfunctioning including an outdoor gate on the porch, the stereo system and the ice machine. The beds were hard and linens (sheets and towels) felt old and dingy. None of this was a dealbreaker given the location, but it left something to be desired in terms of comfort. ##### Julia K.

The house is walking distance from Main Street but tucked away, which was exactly what we were looking for. ##### Lauren M.

Unfortunately, due to the mold and mildew issues with this house we will not be returning. The location is spot on and the house was once truly beautiful, but with the lack of maintenance there is a major mold and mildew issue. As soon as you step in the house you are aware of it. If the owners invested in good dehumidifier that drains outside along with a quality air purifier this may be manageable. We are very familiar with this area being a rain forest, but no one should feel like they are breathing in mold while they stay here, much less smell it. I hope this review helps anyone that is sensitive to these issues. Half our family left early with upper respiratory symptoms. I hope the owner thinks enough of their guests to fix these things. ##### Alli B. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jeanne-Marie B. 10 Nov 2018 #### Filthy and full of bugs! 1" of dust on everything and BIG jumping camel crickets all over the place I rented this cottage in the Highlands, NC for my mother, sisters and other relatives to stay during the weekend of my sons wedding. The pictures looked charming and inviting, but when we arrived the bathrooms were full of big camel crickets - the ones that seek out water. My brother-in-law had to go around and kill them all. During the entire weekend, every time someone used the bathrooms they would jump all over and scare you to death. My mother refused to use the bathrooms after she was scared the second time. The entire cottage hadn't been cleaned and there was an inch of dust on everything and the linens were not as clean as they should have been. I was embarrassed and mortified that I rented such a poorly kept place for my family. It was such a traumatic experience for my sister, she texted all of our family with pictures etc. Discussing!!! ##### Jeanne-Marie B. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hyatt Place Chapel Hill / Southern Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chapel-Hill-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Chapel-Hill-Southern-Village.h16543920.Hotel-Information) > > [Scandinavian Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sister-Bay-Hotels-Scandinavian-Lodge.h16603450.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Outer Banks/Kitty Hawk](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kitty-Hawk-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Outer-BanksKitty-Hawk.h1445722.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Salisbury by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salisbury-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Salisbury.h14769213.Hotel-Information) > > [Asheville-Million Dollar Views, Hot Tub, Theatre Room, Billiards, Sleeps 16](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Asheville-Hotels-Asheville-Million-Dollar-Views.h33570667.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Ocean Tower Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Waikoloa-Hotels-Ocean-Tower-By-Hilton-Grand-Vacations.h28763131.Hotel-Information) > > [Aspen Select](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Aspen-Select.h12245240.Hotel-Information) > > [The Beacon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Morehead-City-Hotels-Salter-Path-Inn.h10655047.Hotel-Information) > > [Tesla MedBed Center, East Dubuque](https://www.expedia.co.uk/East-Dubuque-Hotels-Tesla-MedBed-Center.h1076011.Hotel-Information) > > [Baymont by Wyndham Mishawaka South Bend Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Bend-Hotels-Baymont-By-Wyndham-Mishawaka-South-Bend-Area.h1976.Hotel-Information) > > [Trailborn Surf and Sound, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wilmington-Hotels-Blockade-Runner-Beach-Resort.h15691.Hotel-Information) > > [Riverside Log Cabins](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boone-Hotels-Riverside-Log-Cabins.h22870419.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah's Cherokee – A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cherokee-Hotels-Harrahs-Cherokee-Casino-Resort.h13319510.Hotel-Information) > > [Grafton Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Asheville-Hotels-Grafton-Lodge.h10489636.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Winchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Winchester.h9600.Hotel-Information) > > [Folkestone Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cherokee-Hotels-Folkestone-Inn.h1551198.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn and Suites by Wyndham Oxford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Henderson-Hotels-Days-Inn-And-Suites-By-Wyndham-Oxford.h15792345.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Plymouth by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Plymouth-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Plymouth.h662090.Hotel-Information) > > [American Motel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hickory-Hotels-American-Motel.h15676263.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Southport - Oak Island Area by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolivia-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Southport-Oak-Island-Area.h8282528.Hotel-Information) > > [J House Greenwich](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stamford-Hotels-J-House-Greenwich.h8392.Hotel-Information) > > [Lighthouse View Oceanfront Lodging](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Buxton-Hotels-Lighthouse-View-Oceanfront-Lodging.h13278801.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Price by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Price-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Price.h9253345.Hotel-Information) > > [Relaxing, Cozy, Beautiful 3 BR Log Cabin in Blowing Rock/Boone NC](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boone-Hotels-Relaxing.h33311517.Hotel-Information) > > [The View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kayenta-Hotels-The-View-Hotel.h59418009.Hotel-Information) > > [A View for Two: Tiny House with BIG VIEWS](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fleetwood-Hotels-A-View-For-Two-Tiny-House-With-BIG-Views.h46979075.Hotel-Information) > > [LOG CABIN + MOUNTAIN VIEWS!
