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.

Great stay at Honey Bee Hideaway.

The house is beautiful and very convenient with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths on one floor. The newly renovated back deck is awesome and a great place to hang and enjoy the view. Trista was a very helpful and accommodating host. She was quick to answer our messages and was super gracious when we needed to reschedule our trip. We would definitely stay again at the lovely Honey Bee Hideaway.

Relaxing Retreat

We enjoyed our stay at Honey Bee Hideaway! Beautiful views and breezes off the back porch in the morning and lovely sunlit afternoons were enjoyed each day. So many fun hikes to mountaintops and waterfalls that were a short drive away. Also nice to be close to town and grocery stores as we cooked in the fully equipped kitchen and also nice grill. We will return to this cozy home!

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!
