Private & Peaceful A-Frame Cabin

Nature’s delight! Hike up 300 feet and into the Hideout: your PRIVATE, ONE-OF-A-KIND GLAMPING experience. Nestled in the woods, the Hideout provides comfort for nature lovers & relaxation for adventurers. Feel the cool mountain breeze as you look through the trees across the meadow to the Blue Ridge Mountain range. Invite the outside in while you rest in the sleeping quarters. Quiet, peaceful, natural & unique. Not completely off-grid, but a “low grid” luxury experience for you & your companion.

GUEST ACCESS
You will have your own slice of our woods for your stay. From the parking space up to the Hideout and on up to the hammock, to the barbed wire fence overlooking the meadow, to the stars above, you can explore all the natural beauty around you.




VERY IMPORTANT TO READ BEFORE YOU BOOK
1. The ONLY way to the Hideout is by hiking uphill 300 feet. It’s steep so please wear hiking shoes or boots at all times when staying with us. You will need soles with treads as the terrain around the sight is uneven. We recommend carrying your things in backpacks rather than suitcases. The less you pack in food and clothing the easier it will be to climb the hill. We do provide goodies for our guests to enjoy. We recommend taking your time hiking up to the Hideout - the view is AMAZING along the way!

2. Being in the mountains we share our space with majestic animals of all kinds such as deer, turkey, hawks, bald eagles, squirrels, chipmunks, hummingbirds, and song birds. But we also share it with some other kinds like spiders, ants, mice, snakes, bears, flies, beetles and other bugs. We do our ABSOLUTE BEST to make sure these other kinds stay away. However, if even the prospect of the sight or sound of any of these animals or bugs causes you distress, we kindly suggest you book a chain hotel in the big city of Asheville. The experience at the Hideout is not a hotel experience, but an experience in the simplicity of life, the solitude of nature, and an adventure in uniqueness.

3. The Hideout sits on a completely private slice of our 1.5 acre homestead property. It is also a small working honey bee farm called “Natural Buzz” with active bee hives. If you are allergic please take note and stay at your own risk. If you aren’t and want to learn more about the magnificent honey bee please ask us about our Hideout & Hive packages.

4. The outdoor shower is only open during the warm months. Please read the sign in the shower picture before booking - sometimes it’s hot, sometimes it’s cold. Our water supply is natural, mountain spring water, gravity fed from a spring on our property. It’s cold and refreshing and safe to drink right out of the tap! But remember that all good things come to those who wait. Water doesn’t climb mountains fast, so the water pressure in the Hideout is like cooking BBQ ribs, low and slow. If you prefer an indoor shower or during inclement weather, day passes are available for $10/person at Blue Ridge Fitness & Rehab Center in Burnsville NC. Pass includes access to full gym & locker rooms with showers.

5. During the summer months we cool the Hideout with a water fed Air Cooler. This is a high efficiency alternative to Air Conditioning. It works to bring the temperature down by several degrees, by cooling down the hot air. The Air Cooler can also be used as another fan. There is also a ceiling fan, window, and screen door in the Hideout. During the colder months, the Hideout will be equipped with a Little Buddy indoor-safe propane heater. It will heat the sleeping quarters for a cozy night’s sleep. We also provide electric heated blankets for each bed. Extra regular blankets will also be provided. 6. We do have an outdoor cat, Abe, who loves to meet and visit the Hideout guests. He is very friendly and purrs a lot. But if you don’t like cats you can surely shew him away.

Free breakfast is served.

This Burnsville cabin is smoke free.
