Lovely spot

by Kathryn H.
The sheets on the master bed were worn thin and pulled. The jetted tub when turned on produced black mold coming out of the jets. The sofa table/ chest in front of the couch was broken and the wood top was just laying on top and came flying off. Needs to be glued down. Other then that it was a lovely place to stay.

Walkable to everything! A clean home!

by Sami L.
We really enjoyed our Labor Day wedding weekend here. We were able to walk to shops and dinner in 10 minutes, enjoy peaceful mornings on the patio and enjoy home cooked meals with a stocked appliance kitchen.

The home was clean, which is a must for me. We really appreciated the amenities and location. Would love to book here again.

A lovely stay at hidden hollow

We had a great experinece at Hidden Hollow. The home was even more beautiful than the pictures could capture. There are trails right from the house that lead to the Rec center and down to a beautiful creek. It is always walking distance to everything in downtown highlands, which was key! The kitchen is well equipped with pots/pans/dishes, etc but they do not provide any salt/pepper/EVOO/butter, etc, so be sure to bring your own spices and basics if you are cooking. We were right at home and had a wonderful stay.

Hidden Hollow

by Ed G.
Cottage is in an excellent location. It is well equipped except for the TV which is way to small for the room. The grill could use an upgrade. We had a very nice 3 week stay.

Hidden Hollow stay

For the most part, we were very happy with our stay at this rental house. The accommodations were great, the vicinity was the best, and the decorations were awesome!

The place did smell as though it had been empty for quite some time. There were cobwebs in several places, dust bunnies in the corners, and it just felt as though it had not been cleaned in a while.

Deep woods right in town

by Robert F.
From choosing a house (good descriptions online) to making the booking to enjoying our stay, everything was so easy and pleasant. As described, Hidden Hollow was an easy walk to Main Street but also wonderfully secluded and quiet. Comfortable, cozy and fun. We’ve already booked our next stay.

Nice place

by Robert S.
Nice space in a good location. Within walking distance of Main Street. Air-conditioning not cooling and a few other things not working. Overall I would certainly stay here again.

Escape the Heat

Lovely cottage surrounded by birds and greenery...cool and inviting. Highlands, NC is a beautiful forest of lushness and this home respects the natural beauty.
June 8, 2022 - Escapia

Good location, reasonable price

The location was good but there is a gravel driveway out of the small area that is probably 100 yards long and is hard to walk on - especially women with sandals. House was pretty clean but smells musty, I assume because of the stream nearby. Need to replace the bath wash cloths as they are stained. Shower was great in the master. Bed in master is comfortable. Very small TV in the family room. Hard to see.s

2nd trip

Always a defect getaway at Hidden Hollow and can’t say enough about the Chambers Agency. Left my car keys behind and they were gracious enough to immediately take care of it!

Hidden Hollow Happiness

by Mary W.
We thoroughly enjoyed our week's stay in Hidden Hollow. This wonderful cottage tucked away at the end of the lane is rich in history and is perfect for a vacation in Highlands. The cottage design, both exterior and interior are just what we enjoy when vacationing in the mountains. The 5-minute walk to town location is perfect too!
July 12, 2021 - Escapia

Great location!

Perfect location for exploring Highlands and the area. Walking distance into the town and easy access to roads leading out of Highlands to other local areas. The team at Chambers Realty are wonderful to work with. Highly recommend!

Great location !

by Donna B.
We enjoyed our stay and the home truly was a walk to town. We had a little issue with flys, however, the rental agency was very quick to respond once notified. There were a few other minor repairs needed of which I'm sure will be done in a timely manner. All in all it was a nice home convenient to all amenities.

Anniversary Music Festival

by Blair B.
My wife and I came to celebrate our anniversary and catch a music festival. This was the perfect spot close to everything yet tucked away in the woods. Hope to return next year!

Spring Break

by Matthew D.
We had a great time at the cottage. It was comfortable and fit all our needs.
The trails and creek were great for kids.

Will be back.

Top notch location. Can't beat it.

Hidden Hollow

by Charles C.
Hidden Hollow is the perfect vacation home for a couple or small family. Downtown Highlands is just an easy walk away, but its location provides solitude with the sounds of Mill Creek in the background. The back porch is in the midst of the forest but a hiking trail is a few steps away.

Hidden Gem

We have been coming to Highlands/Cashiers for 40 years and this rental was the best so far. Right in the middle of the woods, yet actually downtown, what a combination.

Hidden Cottage

Excellent stay. Loved my walks downtown. The street is like an English Village.
