Lovely Place

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely property. It was a good location and met all of our needs. This was our first time to the area, so having a quiet place to come back to after each busy day was just what we needed. The property owners/managers were great with communication and checking in on us.

Excellent Stay

Gem of a property. Couldn't have asked for anything better for a weekend trip. Tons of privacy, communication with hosts could not have been better, far enough from the main roads for peace and quiet, short drive into Asheville was very convenient. Thank you for having us! We appreciate your hospitality!

Peaceful getaway

Mary Beth and Tim were wonderful hosts and the apartment was just lovely. It has everything you need for a few quiet days in the mountains, and they were very responsive to questions leading up to my arrival. Bed was comfortable, ample pillow options, plenty of space, not to mention beautiful outdoor deck and scenery. Just a few minutes drive into town for amenities, hiking trails, etc. Highly recommend.

Peaceful stay in the mountains

Lovely Black Mountain hillside property was just the ticket for our long weekend in WNC. Close to Asheville but even better right there in Black Mountain - lively town with good food and great live music - and on the Blue Ridge Parkway where the vistas never disappoint. Appreciate the hosts’ hospitality and for making this great spot available to travelers. Thumbs up! We recommend Hilltop Hideaway.

Enjoyable!

We enjoyed our stay! The property was spacious and clean with a good bed, comfortable furniture throughout and a lovely deck area. It is convenient to downtown Black Mountain yet up on the hillside in a nice setting. It is also within an approximately 30 min drive to Chimney Rock, Mount Mitchell, and Asheville. The owners were very responsive with a minor problem we had. The only negative, was that the wifi is sketchy, frequently less than 1 Mbps.

Such a treasure!

What a great place for our weekend!! The apartment was the perfect space for my partner and I. He loved the private deck and I loved the landscape and bedroom. Mary Beth and Tim were wonderful hosts and were very helpful if we needed anything. They even gave us suggestions as to where to have our mobile couples massage! It was private, cozy, and you really need to book this place! We can't wait to come back!!

High Top Hide Away

Lovely lower level apartment. Plenty of room, and everything we needed was provided. The only negative aspect of this property, was the stone walk down to the entrance. It was difficult to manage for two old people with luggage, etc. in our hands. Steps may have made it easier.

Exceptional Hideaway

This hide-away exceeded our expectations. It is a very quiet spot with a lovely view from the patio. The facilities were great. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, and paper products that we did not expect. While the kitchen does not have a range, there is a great grill, George Forman grill etc. With a little planning, we were able to fix most of our meals. The accommodations are very, very quiet and comfortable. There were a lot of very nice arrival touches. The host and hostess were very welcoming and accommodating. We will definitely consider the Hide-away for future trips.

Not Suitable for Seniors

We didn’t stay as the entry path was treacherous for my wife and I. Furthermore the kitchen did not have a cooktop or oven. Fortunately we were able to secure a room in Black Mountain and didn’t have to incur another 5 hour drive home. I have written to you to request a refund but have not received a reply.

Great getaway!

We had a perfect weekend getaway to celebrate our wedding anniversary along with checking off a bucket list item. High Top Hideaway was very nice, roomy, clean, beautiful and convenient to both downtown Black Mountain as well as our bucket list destination of Biltmore Estate (only 20 minutes away). While we didn’t get an opportunity to meet our hosts in person, everything was in place and ready for our arrival including a nice bottle of wine (which we thoroughly enjoyed in the porch swing that evening). Black Mountain is a beautiful town completely surrounded by the mountains with a thriving downtown area complete with a number of shops and restaurants. High Top Hideaway is only about 5 minutes away but is in a secluded and very quiet spot. We would highly recommend this location for a couple looking to visit this area and all it has to offer. Our 3 night total was less than one night at the Biltmore lodging and gave a lot of other options we would not have had if we had stayed there!

Great stay, convient location

Everything was great about our stay from check in to check out. Very cozy and had everything we needed. We loved the porch swing and beautiful sunflowers. Mary Beth and Tim were available for anything we needed. Very close to downtown Black Mountain. We loved the small town feeling. Very close to blue ridge parkway, chimney rock and lake lure! We will definitely be back.

Excellent stay

Wonderful stay at this basement apartment. Great outdoor area with covered porch for eating and working. Attentive hosts - the place was well-equipped and had everything we needed. We appreciated all the details - cooktop portable range and convection oven/air-fryer made for easy meals in, plenty of towels and blankets, and lots of reading materials about surrounding area and restaurants. There's even gym equipment and a large book and dvd collections. The only thing we didn't love was the bed - it's one of those where if your partner moves, you feel it, which didn't work for us light sleepers. But there are enough glowing reviews that make me think we are just sensitive!
