    5/5

    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

    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!

    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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Gorgeous mountain side cabin. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking and birthday cake making!!Dog was able to hang out on the back deck and roam, which he loved. Amazing view from back deck. Hot tub was perfect after long day of outdoors activities. Central to everything, NOC, Cherokee outdoor drama, Fontana Lake. Highly recommend.
