Incredible resort-type beauty!

This place is MASSIVE! It comfortably fit the 20+ family members for our annual family vacation. The pool and hot tub were wonderful. It overlooked the mountains and had plenty of space for the 6 or 7 cars we had. Absolutely would recommend to any large groups for a beautiful stay in the mountains!

What a great stay!

This house was plenty big enough for our large group that stayed. There are coffee makers and refrigerators on both levels of the house, enough bathrooms, an incredibly sweet game room and theater for the kiddos. The pool was huge and they have plenty of inflatables and noodles. They also have a coffeemaker and a refrigerator at the pool. I would say the house is definitely stressed looking in some parts and the refrigerators take about 2 days to get cold, but overall it was such a great time. Very happy we chose Hodo Hideaway! We will be back.

Wonderful Mountain Vacation

This property is beautiful. The home is spacious, clean, and has so much to do for the entire family. We had a group of 22 from 2 years old to 50. This house had something for everyone. We enjoyed the heated pool, the hot tub, the movie theatre and game room. The mountain views from the back porches are spectacular. The hostess was very accommodating. We would definitely recommend this property! We will probably be back!!

Amazing house, property, and amenities

The space of the house and the amenities like the game room, movie theater, and pool cannot be beat. The host was the most responsive and helpful we’ve ever dealt with. There were some minor maintenance issues that could have been fixed before we got there, but Dana was very quick to help when we brought them to her attention. The house was clean with the exception of the floors. The kitchen was not as well stocked as we would have expected for a house this size. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would return.

60th Anniversary

The perfect place for our 15 family members to celebrate Mom and Dad’s 60th anniversary. This is the second time we had our reunion at this property and we loved it just as much this time. Spent six days and had a great time, Plenty of room for everyone to be together and also apart when we needed to! Big well-equipped kitchen. Loved the pool (with a very fun slide) and hot tub. Had movie night every night in the theater. Sat on the huge back porch with everyone in the evenings to enjoy the sunset or the rain showers. The host was excellent at communicating. Got back to us promptly when we had any questions. The property is about 15-30 minutes from groceries and other shopping as well as the charming town of Blue Ridge. Overall, we had a great time and it was a great place to stay.

Overall good experience

Very pretty view!! The property has more wear and tear than shown in the pictures. It could use another full bathroom in the bottom floor (replacing the small gym with a full bathroom would be perfect). It also needs some hook on bedroom walls that don’t have closets. The current owner recently purchased the property so I bet some up-dates are coming. We did have a great time and the host was very quick to respond.

Amazing Property but Needs Some TLC

We stayed here for a big family reunion. Dayna was fantastic and very responsive. The pet policy is very accommodating. We loved the space and it is huge! That being said we did have some issues with the cleanliness of the property. The floors were filthy and our socks were nearly black from walking around. Someone spilled water in the kitchen and the rag came up charcoal. I don’t think the cleaning service is doing a very good job. The place needs a serious deep clean. There was hair all over one of the bathroom’s shower walls, hairy dirty sheets in one of the bedrooms, bodily fluids on a bean bag, and the hot tub was slimey. My uncle went to sit on his bed and it fell to the floor. There were no screws holding it together. We reached out to Dayna and she had someone out to correct this right away! The owner of the cleaning service came to clean said she guessed they just missed those areas and they pay an inspector to inspect the property so they must have also missed it. The trash was overflowing when we arrived but someone arrived the following afternoon to take care of this. The towels and some of the blankets have seen better days so we recommend replacing these for a better experience. The porch, stairs, and pool deck are rotting and being replaced piece by piece. I was very surprised by these details given the excellent reviews so it may be that our experience was out of the ordinary. Our family loved our trip & enjoyed this large space & beautiful view!

We had a group of 23 extended family in our group and everyone enjoyed the house. Younger kids loved the indoor trampoline, everyone loved the pool and young adults enjoyed movie night in the theater. We unfortunately had to use the medical center in Blue Ridge but it was also a great experience. The host was very understanding about everything and was always very responsive to any issue or concerns we had.

Georgia 2023 Family Vacation Getaway

Host Dayna, the house, and the area were all great. We had a great week-long family vacation getaway experience. Our group consisted of my wife and I, our 4 adult children, their spouses, and 11 grandchildren spread out evenly in age from almost 3 to 14. This was our 2nd VRBO experience. Dayna was very responsive to all my questions and requests before and during our visit which was very helpful. The house is fairly isolated up a long, narrow driveway with few neighbors. But there is every amenity (gas and grocery stores, Wal-Mart, etc.) one would need nearby. Each day we had breakfast and dinner together in the house and did outdoorsy stuff in the area in between. In the evening we enjoyed the pool, game room, and theater room. The bedroom layout accommodated our group nicely. With a little internet research, planning, buying tickets, and making reservations in advance, we were able to cram a great deal of outdoorsy activity into 6 days including: - Hikes to Anna Ruby Falls, Dukes Creek Falls, Long Creek Falls, Amicalola Falls, and Trahlyta Falls. - A hike to the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. - A hike to the Toccoa River Swinging Bridge. - An Atlanta Braves baseball game. - A day on Lake Blue Ridge on 2 pontoon boats. - A ride on the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway. - A July 4th parade and fireworks in Blue Ridge. Thank you, Dayna!

Lovely property

The house and property are lovely. But unfortunately the pool had begun leaking prior to our arrival and was about half drained when we arrived. With host Daynas superhuman repair effort, we were able to use it about halfway through our 3 day visit (with 14 children). Fortunately there is a lake close by (with rocky bottom and shore) and that worked out well until the pool was fixed. The kitchen is modern and well stocked with dishes/glassware. Cooking for 26 people was a challenge because we didn’t find large skillets/pots. We made use of the 3 outdoor grills on the deck outside the kitchen. Dayna was extremely responsive to our needs, even sending someone to repair a top bunk railing which had somehow disappeared.

Great House and Awesome Pool

We loved this house. We had a big family reunion with 16 adults and 8 kids. The game room / kids area was great and the trampoline and movie room were a big hit. The kids (8-12 yrs old) watched a movie with popcorn in the movie theatre every night. The pool area is fantastic as well. We loved the pool and hot tub, and the kids loved the slide. Several of the rooms with bunk beds are on the bottom floor with the game room, so the kids had a great set up, and the top floor was much quieter for the adults. We always do a big family olympics at our family reunions, and Danya was great helping me coordinate some of the logistics before our stay and was very responsive.
