Hideaway from it all ! Holyfield Hideaway, Flag Pond, Tennessee

Quietly, hidden away under a canopy of trees in the Appalachian mountains, is one of East Tennessee's best-kept secrets - until now. Nestled above Sam's Creek and Oberlin Falls, the Holyfield Hideaway sits on an ancient Indian and buffalo trail - later becoming the old wagon road connecting East Tn. to NC.. Nowadays:), you can drive right up in your car - no steps onto the pavilion deck or through the front door. The Hideaway is furnished with antique brass headboard, king bed, queen sofa bed, pack n’ play upon request, dining table with 4 chairs, kitchen & bathroom w/ standing shower. All connecting to an 800 sq.ft. deck with propane grill, dining table for 4, hammock chair and so much more. Create memories to last a lifetime while sitting around the fire, dreaming under the stars...
Other things to note - All bed, bath and kitchen linens provided.***dog friendly*** no cats please due to allergies. Limit of 2 and must crate if left alone.Owners will be held responsible for damages. We now have FIBER INTERNET for your work or school needs. We have a DVR player & a nice selection of family movies. We are not able to get a satellite signal for our 31” tv but we have a Fire Stick. We have plenty to do in our area - hiking at our own Lamar Alexander Rocky Fork State Park (Tennessee’s newest wilderness park) just 4 miles down our road. The Sams Gap crossing of the AT is 3 miles up our road ! *Local rafting is closed due to Hurricane Helene for 2025.* Skiing/snow boarding is 15 minutes away from Hatley Pointe Ski Resort ❄️ We are a National Wildlife Federation Certified Wildlife Habitat💚. Our tap water is from our 700’ deep well - we hit the aquaphor- pure and clean !
We are only 30 minutes away from Johnson City or Asheville. Please familiarize yourself with our directions before approaching as GPS is not always accurate here :( You will want to stop for groceries before arrival. Last stop for groceries/gas from the Johnson City direction on I-26E is Food City in Erwin, exit 37. Last stop for gas/groceries from the Asheville area on I-26W is Ingles in Mars Hill, exit 11. Either one is less than 20 minutes from us. Once here, you’ll never want to leave ! We would love to have you as our guests❤️

Anniversary get away
We really enjoyed the 200 year old fireplace surrounded by the autumn colors of the surrounding trees. Our hosts, Chuck and Val, were so welcoming when we arrived. We got a tour and enjoyed hearing some local stories and history of the property. Very comfortable stay with everything one could need. Chuck gave us a tour of the other nifty cabins on their property and Val even made us homemade cookies and strawberry ice cream!

Weekend getaway
Recently stayed at the Holyfield Hideaway and had an excellent time wven with the weather conditions. We stayed the weekend of Hurricane Helene and lost power, internet, cell service and water (well water). Chuck and Val were excellent host kept checking in on us and made sure we had what we needed. We cant wait to visit again when the area recovers from the destruction.

Beautiful Property
My stay was just what I hoped for! The property was in a perfect location to enjoy abundant hiking opportunities and then come back and relax for a peaceful evening around the historic fireplace. Chuck and Valda are very accommodating and the cabin well stocked with everything I could need. I really appreciated the cleanliness and artful touches. Thank you and I hope to return someday.

Hidden Gem
This was our favorite short term rental we have ever been to! Super peacful with the sound of a running creek just 100 ft away. The cabins history and surrounding area is a facinating story. The cabin had everything you need to feel comfortable and all kinds of cool knick nacks everywhere you look. You can tell the hosts really put a lot of effort into maintaing the property. A superb value at the listed price, we highly recommend!

Great stay at the perfect getaway!
We had a great time staying at the Hideaway! Early June weather was perfect and the extremely large porch lifestyle was just to our liking. Wifi was fast and strong to stream or catch up on any work emails. Our pups enjoyed the property too with a mix of areas to walk and to roam. Chuck and Vanda were very welcoming and informative and we look forward to booking again and visiting with them in the future!

Fantastic little hideaway
This is a fantastic little hideaway in TN that offers a lot of privacy and peace. You can hear the creek and cannot hear road noise. They are dog friendly and our golden retriever had a blast in the creek. Chuck and Valda are incredibly nice hosts and told us all about the history of the property which was fascinating. The home is a tiny home/studio but has all the essentials. We had a great trip.

Enchanting Place
We would like to thank Velda and Chuck for a most delightful stay. The outdoor spaces were so much fun. I had a fire in the 200 yr old chimney most mornings with my coffee. I have been in the hospitality industry for 42 years and these folk know what they are doing. We felt very well taken care of. Sincerely, Mathew, Hiram, and Lily

Woodland Oasis
Everything about this stay was amazing! Valda and Chuck have truly created a beautiful oasis here, it's such a beautiful location and so peaceful. The sound of the creek running through the property is just so relaxing. It was also the middle of July yet it was so nice and cool. Chuck was happy to share the history of the property and the area, love the old buffalo trail and 200+ year old fireplace is beautiful. It's a great location to explore NE TN and the stunning mountain views, Johnson City is only a 30 minute drive so nice and close. Valda and Chuck are such warm & wonderful hosts from the yummy homemade cookies and ice cream to the wonderful conversations this was my favorite vrbo stay! HIGHLY recommend 10/10 Thank you both for your warm southern hospitality. xoxo Tom & Toya

The Hideaway was the perfect getaway. If you want to escape, this property gives you beautiful views and a relaxing, peaceful environment.
