Blue Ridge Mountain Retreat | Sleeps 26 | Pool, Spa, Game Room | Family Reunions

Some vacation rentals have amenities. This one has a whole itinerary.
Set on 5 private acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Hodo Hideaway is a 7,000 sq ft lodge designed for large groups who want space, privacy, and the kind of amenities that make everyone — from toddlers to grandparents — forget they have phones. Eight bedrooms sleep 26 comfortably. The mountain views are the kind you don't get tired of.

THE OUTDOOR EXPERIENCE
The centerpiece is a private pool with a waterslide and an oversized deck made for long afternoons with a drink in hand and nothing on the agenda. Heating is available for cooler months. A 7-person hot tub sits nearby with open views of the Blue Ridge ridgeline — the kind of soak that fixes whatever the week did to you. When the sun goes down, the fire pit takes over. Multiple decks give your group plenty of room to spread out, and two outdoor grills mean nobody has to coordinate dinner indoors.
A separate pool house with a clubhouse loft, half bath, and kitchenette handles cold drinks, snack prep, and overflow storage — keeping the chaos outside where it belongs.

THE INDOOR EXPERIENCE
Inside, two full living rooms — one upstairs, one down — give your group room to split up or pile together. Plush sofas, beanbags throughout, smart TVs with streaming on every screen, and fast WiFi mean downtime is actually restful.
The movie theater seats 15 in stadium-style chairs with a full heap of beanbag loungers for overflow, all in front of an 86-inch screen. This is not a "we hung a projector" situation — it's a real theater.
The game room is stocked with a pool table, air hockey, and a trampoline. A private office with two desks covers anyone who needs to check in with the real world.
In the backyard, a wooden swingset and clubhouse with a safety-fenced perimeter keeps younger guests occupied while the adults handle the important decisions about what to have for dinner.

THE BEDROOMS
Eight bedrooms across two floors sleep 26, with configurations for couples, families, kids' bunks, and even an infant.
Upstairs
The Family Suite — King bed, twin bunk, attached private bath with jetted garden tub, walk-in shower, and a private nursery access door. The nursery includes a crib, glider, and ottoman — everything you need, nothing you have to pack.
Bedroom 2 — Two queens, Jack-and-Jill bath with tub/shower combo, hallway access.
Bedroom 3 — One queen, shares the Jack-and-Jill bath with Bedroom 3.
Bedroom 4 — Two twins, full hall bath with tub/shower combo nearby.
Bedroom 5 — King suite with walk-in closet, walk-in shower, and a separate jetted tub. Private attached bath.
Downstairs
Bedroom 6 — One queen, private attached bath with tub/shower combo.
Bedroom 7 — Two twin bunks.
Bedroom 8 — One queen, one twin bunk. Bedrooms 8 and 9 share a full bath with stand-up shower.
Game Room — One twin bunk for the guest who wants to fall asleep ten feet from the pool table.
Additional: Half bath in the pool house. Outdoor shower adjacent to the pool house.

LOCATION
Minutes from downtown Blue Ridge — restaurants, shops, and the scenic railroad. Lake Blue Ridge, hiking trails, and local wineries are all a short drive. You're tucked away enough to feel completely private, close enough to everything that you're never stranded.

GOOD TO KNOW
The road to the property is a narrow mountain road. In winter weather or snow, 4WD or AWD is strongly recommended. A rental agreement is required prior to your stay — we'll send it over promptly after booking.

We're proud to host your group at Hodo Hideaway. However you're celebrating, whatever brought everyone together — we hope this place becomes the backdrop you come back to.

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!

Ideal North Georgia Getaway

Fall foliage vacation for family of 19 with mix of age groups. This is a fantastic property with spacious accommodations and room to roam outside. The dramatic and secluded location perfectly fit our desire for a mountain getaway. The host was very responsive and addressed all our questions and needs. Gorgeous and functional house, fantastic host - highly recommended!!

Great for a family gathering!

Dayna and her team are excellent hosts! We loved the home and the location! There is so much to do at the house that you wouldn’t need to leave, but there are also attractions nearby for excursions!! Our family had a wonderful time. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Dayna!

Great family spot

We have an annual family get together and this was a great house for it. The outside view and pool area is to die for. The kids (and adults) loved the slide and the game room/theatre. Dayna was very responsive and made our checkin and checkout super easy. Great house- would highly recommend!

Great for a work retreat

Great house with lots of beds for a large work retreat. We had lots of fun at the pool and in the home. Really appreciated the checkout process being so simple. My only critique would be the number of bathrooms is too few for the number of bedrooms/beds.

Amazing view, peaceful and amazing property owner

This property was amazing. We had enough room with our group of 19 people. The theater room was the hang out spot for most of our crew after rafting on Saturday. The property had 2 grills, enough room to cook for a large party. We are thinking about next year... You are missing out if you don't stay at this house.

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.

Extremely clean and updated inside. Large home with too many bunk beds. So you may need to adjust based on the sleeping arrangements published very clearly.Plenty of refrigerators for food storage on both levels and at the poolside.Did not end up using the pool due to the lack of time. Ours was a short trip.The host is very responsive and quickly accommodated our early check-in and late check-out requests.The pictures are all manipulated with filters but regardless the house is very nice. Not the traditional log cabin but a house on the mountain. There are no pictures of the front but it is deceiving to the true size of the house. I have posted some. Would rent this house again for sure.The exterior had a lot of large spider webs. Most we got rid off with a broom. There were too many leaves on the front porch which again we cleaned up using the same broom. Nothing too difficult. But would have been nice to have been done by the cleaners prior to our arrival.The pool and back deck are a lot more accessible from the basement or lower level.Location is about 8 miles from downtown Blue Ridge. Great restaurant option here. We ate at the Twisted Tomato. Highly recommend!

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!

The picture of the house is the back of the house. The front of the house is a ranch style house and not a cabin look. The house needs some upgrades to the bathroom especially. The shower knobs were wobbly. The main living room has one small blue sofa and not the white sofas pictured. The sitting at the dining room table are metal chairs and not comfortable at all. The space is decent just in need of updating and painting.

The most amazing house! We used this for a bachelorette of 17 ladies - there were plenty of comfy beds, bedrooms, and bathrooms for everyone; the pool house had plenty of counter space, a fridge, and a bathroom which was great for bringing down drinks and snacks so we could all swim and have fun together; the gazebo and lounge chairs were great for relaxing and talking, the multiple common areas and game room inside meant many great options to socialize and have large meals indoors; and the stars were amazing at night from the fire pit. The hosts were very responsive to all our questions. Would recommend this house to anyone - we hope to return with other friends in the future.

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.
