The Perfect Hideaway!
This was our first family vacation to the mountains! We felt right at home from the moment we walked in! The house was so clean, cozy, and what a view. The town was so cute, people were very friendly, and the best part, was that our kids saw snow for the first time. I highly recommend Herman's Hideaway for anyone looking to travel to the mountains!

Beautiful Home
This home is beautiful and was well appointed, stocked and very clean. This location is very remote and is about 15-20 min. north of the Mars Hill exit. The home is located in a resort community. Beyond the main road, all gravel roads and up very steep inclines once you are on the mountain.

Herman’s Hideaway
The house was beautiful and very clean. It was well equipped for our stay. BUT we froze every night because the owners would not leave the heat set on 72. One of the windows had a window fall down which we propped up to keep closed. The nightly temperatures were in the 30s and we contacted the property manager multiple times about being cold. The heat would run a few hours then cut off. Also, the driveway is not for the faint of heart. My opinion is that it’s best suited for four wheel drive. We almost could not make it to the house on several occasions. Having to carry our trash 6 miles one way to the community dump was not convenient. Overall I would not recommend anyone to stay here.

Great mountain Cabin
The home was very well stocked with spices for cooking and plenty of cookware. The home has a nice layout and was perfect for the 9 of us. Plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the mountain view’s.
