Family Stays in Mystic Falls
The Hideaway at Mystic Falls hosts families of all configurations — parents and tweens or teens, grandparents and grandchildren, large family groups, and parents surprising a TVD-obsessed kid with a trip they won't forget. The three-bedroom property in Covington, Georgia comfortably accommodates multiple guests. The property is best suited for guests age 8 and up: the immersive theming includes a full-size wall-mounted coffin, tall antique furniture, an outdoor fire pit, and exterior stairs. This is not a childproofed space, and close supervision is required for any younger guests.
Covington is a quiet, walkable historic town 45 minutes east of Atlanta. Elena and Caroline's houses are a short walk from the property on Floyd Street. The clock tower, Mystic Grill, and local boutiques are a 3-minute drive or 15-minute walk from the front door. For families making a Vampire Diaries pilgrimage, the Hideaway is where the trip begins and ends.
Parents repeatedly note that the in-stay discovery elements—scavenger hunts, riddles, and Katherine's messages—give younger guests (over 8 years old) something active to engage with beyond just looking at decor.

"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. 🖤🩸"

"If you're a fan of Vampire Diaries, you feel like you're living in 1864. The host had a few riddles in the house to solve. Great coffee bar too. A great experience with my daughter and granddaughters!"

"Came into the experience as a Dad without much knowledge of TVD and was looking for a cool place to take my pre-teen daughters. Not only did the place exceed our expectations and blow their minds, the Host was proactively communicative."

Myself, my mom and my teenage daughter stayed at Amanda's and absolutely loved it! Walking inside we were blown away! I am not sure there is a better Airbnb to stay at in Covington if you're there for a Vampire Diaries themed trip."
