The Space
The Hideaway at Mystic Falls is a Vampire Diaries-themed vacation rental in Covington, Georgia, the town used as the filming location for Mystic Falls throughout the show's eight-season run. The property features screen-used props and original art from The Vampire Diaries, including paintings from the Salvatore mansion, artwork from the Lockwood mansion, and a Mikaelson coffin reupholstered in red velvet and mounted in the living room.
The main living area features velvet seating, a vintage two-seater bar, and a dedicated mini fridge stocked with fruit punch blood bags. Candlelight runs throughout the house. Guests often arrive after dark and find the red porch light already burning, a detail that sets the tone before you walk through the door.
The kitchen features the iconic painting that hung to the left of the Salvatore mansion fireplace in the show. For fans who notice it, it stops them mid-step. That's intentional.
Front deck for morning coffee or an evening cocktail. A fenced backyard with a fire pit. Three minutes down Floyd Street, past Elena Gilbert and Caroline Forbes’ houses, to the historic Covington square that houses the TVD clock tower, the Mystic Grill. Also minutes away from The Covington Welcome Center which houses a museum’s worth of TVD and TVDU props.
Oh, and that divine smell? It's The Hideaway's signature fragrance, Doppelgänger. Shop it in person during your stay via QR code and skip the shipping fees, or order online later when you run out.
The Bedrooms
The Red Room
Intense and luxurious. An intricately hand-carved bed, personal vanity, and vintage photographs including a portrait of 1864-era Stefan Salvatore.
The Blue Room
Cool and aloof. Candlelight at the bedside, classic literature, and a portrait of Damon Salvatore circa 1864. An iconic painting from the Lockwood mansion (featured in the Miss Mystic Falls S1 Ep19) hangs at the foot of the bed.
The Pink Room
Opulent and decadent. An ornate king-sized bed, personal vanity, red velvet couch, and 1864-era photographs of Katherine Pierce, Stefan Salvatore, and Damon Salvatore.
What Makes it Entirely Different
You’re part of the story.
There are several Airbnbs in Covington for Vampire Diaries fans. Most are comfortable homes near the square with TVD-inspired décor. The Hideaway invites you to step into an 1864-era, Katherine Pierce-inspired, gothic romantic fantasy where you are the main character.
The props are real.
The coffin, the paintings, the artwork . . . they're not replicas. Guests who watched the show recognize them mid-sentence.
The experience has layers.
Most Vampire Diaries-themed stays are museums: walk through, take photos, admire the decor. The Hideaway is a story you're inside of.
Katherine welcomes you via text and with a wax-sealed letter waiting at the house (she's old school like that). There's a phone in the living room just dying to be picked up; you'll never guess who's on the other end. Her texts—and a book with clues of its own—will lead you toward a hidden room most guests never find, and help you unlock a cipher few guests ever crack. Get stuck, and Katherine will usually check in to help. You're not observing Mystic Falls. You're a character in it.
It's designed for celebration.
Birthdays, anniversaries, girls' trips, bachelorettes, proposals . . . guests arrive for specific reasons. Optional celebration packages include a custom gothic rose arch with signature TVD quote banners; 1864-era cupcakes and cookies; My Type Blood Bag Cake; curated keepsakes like hand-poured wax seals, necklaces, and exclusive fragrances; use of instamax camera; and Katherine's Trunk dress-up experience. (browse to plan, and we’ll send you a shopping cart-enabled link after you book).
Bucket list without breaking the bank.
A 3-bedroom, 2 bath house in walking distance of the square for a little more than the cost of one room at an average hotel. Bonus points: you’re surrounded by antiques, velvet, candlelight, and mystique. Tip: Keep an eye out for midweek specials.
Weekends book up to a year out.
Guests don't land on the Hideaway by browsing available dates. They hold the date months out because it has to be this property. If a specific weekend matters to you, check availability early.

"My daughter and I had the most epic mother/daughter trip here! When we walked in we both got tears in our eyes because of how amazingly beautiful it was... She's been recovering from a TBI the past year and this is the first time I've seen her truly happy and acting like her old self. We will remember this trip and home always and forever."

“From the moment you walk in you feel like you’re in a time capsule. The note Katherine left, the little secrets to figure out, the blood bags in the fridge — I highly recommend this place if you’re a Vampire Diaries lover.”
