We had a great time at Spy Run Hideaway! The kitchen was well equipped and we made good use of the gas grill on the porch. We spent most of our time in the huge covered deck or running in the front yard. Lots of great bird watching to be had. We had one night of bad storms and were excited to find there was a back up generator ready to go. We were prepared to “rough” it until power restored but instead we just limited our use of power to necessary areas and had a great night of games listening to the storm roll through. Things worth noting: the road in can be a bit winding, it’s on a mountain after all. Do not recommend driving in or out at night unless you’re really comfortable with narrow mountain roads. Phone service can be spotty, but there is WiFi, we liked the forced disconnect. The fire pit is up on a hill so bring head lamps for traversing that slope after a night at the fire. Skyline drive is a stones throw away and we enjoyed the close proximity. Lastly, I forgot my travel kitchen kit and the hosts were great about getting it sent back to me. That was hugely appreciated. We hope to visit this home again in the future and are thankful the owners share their bit of heaven.
