Our kids loved the mountain coaster and the public pool water slide, we hiked Glen Falls which was incredible, and ate at many restaurants in Highlands including Blue Bike (twice), Stubborn Bull and Ugly Dog. The view off the back porch is amazing for sunsets and the neighborhood is so peaceful and quiet but just a short drive to all the action in town.

My husband and I took a last minute trip to Highlands, NC to see the fall colors. We were so lucky to find Honey Bee Hideaway. The location is perfect and so are the views from the back balcony porch. The road is hard-top and not difficult to drive. Trista is awesome! You can tell she really loves the area and is happy to share info. There are waterfalls and hikes nearby, and town is only a 5 min drive. We took the drive into Cashiers to explore some more and ate at The Cornucopia for lunch, which has a nice nostalgic feel. The road to Cashiers is winding but was very beautiful. We went to Silver Run Falls which was an easy trail walk to the falls. I would highly recommend staying at this home. Thank you Trista for sharing it! ##### Berrill V.

We recently took one last long weekend summer trip to Highlands in search of hiking, waterfalls, and ice cream every night! We found it all and more! Honey Bee Hideaway was the perfect home base for our family. GREAT location to everything, so easy to find and check into. Trista is hands down the best communicator I've ever dealt with in a STR. She was willing to help plan anything and quick to give recommendations for everything! Beautiful view from the back deck. When we weren't chasing waterfalls, we played games and watched movies at the house. Great for kids! Already recommending to friends with kids if they ever visit Highlands! Thank you Trista for your hospitality and for sharing your home with others! Wishing you all the success with HBH! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dave H. 21 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Wonderful home with stunning views.The home was spacious, clean & had all the amenities you would ever need.Things to do & restaurants recommendations provided were a great source of information.The host Trista was great to deal with & was very accommodating. 5 Stars from us & would definitely would stay there again. ##### Dave H.
