Hot Tub, Fire Pit & Lake Access! Almond Cabin

Reviews

• 5/5

  This was THE BEST weekend getaway ever . We stayed to do the polar express with our three young boys . It was about 20 minutes away, also about 20 minutes from amazing kid-friendly hikes . Dons house was AMAZING. he had the whole place decorated for Christmas, which we were not expecting . The hot tub was a blast for the kids , and the morning coffee views from the back porch were over the top. In the morning , I’d sip my coffee , look at the mountain tops and watch woodpeckers zip past me Don was nice enough to give us early check in, as we were traveling about 6 hours to get there. This place was just the coolest experience . My kids have not stopped talking about it . Don’t hesitate, you won’t regret booking here .

  Thank you so much, Brianna! This truly means a lot to hear.
  
  It makes us so happy that your family had such a memorable Polar Express trip and that the cabin helped make it special for your boys. We love decorating for Christmas, so I’m really glad that added to the experience!
  
  Those quiet mornings on the porch with the mountain views (and the woodpeckers!) are some of our favorite moments too — I’m glad you got to enjoy that.
  
  You all were wonderful guests, and we’d absolutely love to host your family again anytime. Hopefully we’ll see you back at Hilltop Hideaway for another adventure!

  The cabin is amazing and cozy and a wonderful retreat to escape the rat race. Great for pets and kids. Or just a place to get away with your significant loved one with your family pet. I will visit again!!

  Our stay was great. My wife and I have been coming to this area for over 30 years. This house was great. The view was awesome, as well. The house was well stocked with everything needed to make your stay perfect. The host communicated everything with us before arriving and after arriving. He reached out to make sure everything was going well after we arrived. We also requested an earlier check-in which was done, but unfortunately we ran into traffic and didn't get there any earlier. The hot tub was enjoyable and the deck was great for just relaxing and sitting. Thanks again. Danny and Lorian

We really appreciate your kind words about the communication and how well-stocked the cabin felt — we put a lot of care into that!
  You’re always welcome back anytime you visit the mountains again. Safe travels and we hope to host you for your next getaway!

• Exceptional stay!!

  5/5

  Our stay at Hilltop Hideaway was absolutely amazing! This was by far the most well-stocked Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in — they truly thought of everything. The mountain views from the hot tub and back deck were breathtaking, and we loved relaxing out there. Having a washer and two dryers was such a bonus, especially for getting our laundry done quickly, and they even provided natural laundry soap that worked great. We honestly can’t say enough good things about this place — it was just perfect!

  Manager's Response:

  Thank you so much, Eric! We’re thrilled to hear Hilltop Hideaway was one of your favorite stays and that you felt right at home with all the little touches we’ve stocked. It makes us so happy that you enjoyed the mountain views and had time to relax in the hot tub and on the deck. We’re also glad the extra laundry setup was helpful during your trip! We’d love to welcome you back anytime you’re in the Smokies.

  We only stayed one night but wish it could have been longer! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The host was welcoming and communicative, and the location was perfect — peaceful, yet close to everything. We’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting the area. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
