About this property

Carolina Hideaway Spacious Mountain Retreat

Escape to Carolina Hideaway — a spacious, family-friendly cabin with stunning Blue Ridge Parkway views. Enjoy two porches, a fully stocked kitchen, game room, and fast Wi-Fi. Just 10 minutes from town, but feels like a world away.

Outdoor Bliss
At 3200 elevation, immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Parkway from two private porches. The spacious, covered main porch is perfect for dining, gathering, or simply soaking in the peace and tranquility of the mountains. An additional side porch features cozy rockers and stunning views, creating the ideal spot to unwind.
Designed for Gatherings
Carolina Hideaway was thoughtfully designed with family and group gatherings in mind. Whether you're working, playing, or relaxing, this retreat offers something for everyone. Inside, you'll find a well-stocked kitchen with brand-new stainless steel appliances for cooking large meals. Outside, the community features a children's playground, tennis courts, a basketball hoop, and a central area for cookouts and evenings by the campfire.
Convenience Meets Serenity
Nestled amidst nature, Carolina Hideaway feels like a secluded paradise, yet it's only 10 minutes "down the mountain" to downtown Waynesville for dining, shopping, and adventure. Whether you're planning a peaceful retreat or a scenic escape, you'll find everything you need within easy reach.
Located in scenic Waynesville, NC, Carolina Hideaway offers peaceful seclusion with easy, year-round access on paved roads. Enjoy community perks like tennis/pickleball courts, a playground, and hiking trails. Spot deer and wild turkeys from the porch!
Your Perfect Escape
From stunning views and thoughtful amenities to its welcoming atmosphere, Carolina Hideaway offers the perfect blend of relaxation and entertainment. You'll be the hero for discovering this hidden gem – a place where unforgettable memories are made.
This beloved home comes with a long-standing rental history and a track record of excellent guest reviews. However, when transitioning to a new property management company, reviews from previous platforms like VRBO and Airbnb don't transfer over — so while the listing may appear new, rest assured, Carolina Hideaway has hosted many happy guests and memorable stays.
We're excited to continue that tradition and welcome even more visitors to this beautiful mountain retreat!
Book your stay today and experience the magic of Carolina Hideaway!

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful property! Saw 4 bears within 30 minutes of arrival - also saw 3 deer later in the stay! We LOVED the covered porch - spent lots of time outside! The most well-stocked kitchen of any of our other vacation spots! Loved visiting downtown Waynesville, Maggie Valley, and The Blue Ridge Parkway. Will definitely be coming back
