**There are bears in the area. Never feed or approach any wildlife. Please keep your dogs on a leash while walking the neighborhood. Please make sure to keep your cars locked and windows closed. Bears can open car doors and they climb into cars if windows are left down. Bears roam the area looking for food. They generally run away if you make a loud noise. In order to reduce their presence, please remember to not leave food outside in your car. Please use the bear proof trashcan on the back porch.

UPDATED 8/2024 Potential for noise: A construction project has started up the street. Our neighbors are building. This project will not impact parking or access to the house but could result in noise 7 am – 5pm.

Peaceful mountain getaway

We spent four nights at Honeybee Hideaway with two kids and a dog for our spring break and we had the most fun and relaxing time. The house was super clean and had everything we needed and more. Trista was super helpful while we were making plans and very responsive during our trip. Our kids loved the mountain coaster and the public pool water slide, we hiked Glen Falls which was incredible, and ate at many restaurants in Highlands including Blue Bike (twice), Stubborn Bull and Ugly Dog. The view off the back porch is amazing for sunsets and the neighborhood is so peaceful and quiet but just a short drive to all the action in town. We will definitely be back!

The Perfect Getaway

This was the perfect home to relax and make memories! We spent all of our mornings and evenings on the back porch in front of the fire - stunning!. Every detail was thought of - nothing was overlooked. The location is so close to town, but you feel like you're away from the hustle and bustle when you get back to Honeybee Hideaway. The owners put a lot of love and thought into this home, and you can really feel it while you're staying there. Trista was very responsive and accommodating to our requests. In all my years on VRBO, this was my best experience to date!

Very nice house and good location

House is mostly one level which is great for older folks. Deck, both covered and open to enjoy a lovely long range view. Close enough to town to run to the grocery store yet nestled in a safe neighborhood. Been to Highlands many times and this is one the nicest houses I have rented.

Nice clean updated cabin with new back porch addition

The cabin was spotless and was decorated nicely with an original theme related to Honeybees. The area was in a peaceful neighborhood and the new back porch addition was a plus for the house. We spent lots of time sitting and looking at the great view. The owners put a lot of thought into making this cabin (inside and out) a peaceful retreat for us.

About the host

Hosted by Trista Ross

Host profile image
Welcome! We are absolutely thrilled that you are here! We know that you will have a wonderful stay and fabulous time in the beautiful town of Highlands! As avid travelers ourselves, we have stocked the place with all the essentials you will need for a comfortable stay.
I grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (GO STEELERS!) then moved to Atlanta, Georgia after college and have been here ever since.
My husband got into beekeeping back in 2016 because he loves the taste of honey and he loves tackling new adventures. We have many hives at our home in Georgia and he enjoys the beekeeping hobby. We harvest the honey each year and offer it to our friends and family: 3 Sweet Bees Honey.
Currently, I am home raising our three children and managing Honey Bee Hideaway.
I used to be a semi-professional baker and I had a home-based bakery: Sugar and Spice Sweets. I still enjoy baking and cooking and so do my girls! We also love camping and hiking as a family. Waterfall hikes are our very favorite, we haven't seen a waterfall in North Carolina that we didn't fall in love with!
North Carolina is one of our very favorite places to travel to. There are cities, beaches, waterfalls, and mountains all in one state! It's just the best of it all!
I love hosting people in our sweet Honey Bee Hideaway! I just love to connect with and meet new people, even if it's only virtually. I love to help people have a great time and explore the world. That's why I became a host!
We hope that you have an amazing time at Honeybee Hideaway and we'd love to host you the next time that you are in town. Bee Blessed!

Why they chose this property

Honey Bee Hideaway has been freshly painted and has lots of new updates to check out....and more coming soon!! The honey bee touches throughout the home are sure to keep you searching.

What makes this property unique

Glen Falls is just 1 mile down the road and it's one of our very favorite waterfalls in the Highlands area. The 3 minute drive to downtown Highlands for fabulous food and unique shopping is so simple and easy.
