Escape to Tranquil Cabin Retreat
Beautiful location and cottage is in great condition. Enjoyed the lake!

Waterfront Lake Lure- No Kids! 21 mi to Biltmore
We had a wonderful time at Jennifer’s home. Her parents, Ed and Kay welcomed us and made us feel right at home. They provided wine and delicious snacks for us and also gave us passes to Rumbling Bald. The place is right on the lake and absolutely beautiful. The inside is much more beautiful than in the pictures, as it is tastefully decorated and good quality linens and towels were provided. They had every thing available that we could need, expensive toiletries and plenty of floats and kayaks. I can’t say i’ve ever stayed at an air bnb that was so thoughtfully appointed before. We will definitely be back.

Peaceful Lakefront Apartment
We absolutely enjoyed your place! Sharon and Anna were excellent host and very supportive! The apartment lacked nothing! It was so peaceful and relaxing! We loved the trail around the whole lake and walked it each day! The location is very convenient to anything you would like to do in the mountains! We have no problem recommending this AirBNB location or the host, Sharon and Anna! Thank you for a great few days!

Boulder Lodge at Rumbling Bald Mountain Resort
We had a great stay here! The amenities were wonderful! Our kids loved the pool and the beach at the lake. Lots to do in this area! Jamie was super sweet and very responsive and helpful! She also makes great recommendations! We would definitely stay again!

Lake Life Upper Apt-2 min walk to Lk Junaluska ASM
Carolyn's place is very clean, safe, beautiful, and loaded with all anyone might need during a stay. The location and view are amazing! Carolyn is very responsive and friendly. I enjoyed my trip and cannot wait to go back!

Beautiful Farm House Apartment
I had a lovely two week stay at Eliber's listing. Everything was exactly as described. It is very close to downtown Burnsville and easy access to the main road but also quiet enough that deer were in the yard. Eliber was very responsive and answered any questions I had quickly.

Lakefront Condo Flat Rock N.C.
Great place to stay - a covered outdoor seating area with a great view is provided and the room is just as pictured. Very clean and quiet - just what we were looking for. We are very happy with our stay.

Casa Paz: Creekside Oasis in the Smoky Mountains
The place is very nice, from the creek to relax in front of or the hot tub to get into:) Our weekend started warm then went colder and the fireplace in the house gets the place warm. The area is quiet. We had two ducks going around feeding and getting ready to nest. An eagle flew through and tried to get the ducks, they dove a couple times and the eagle left to go fishing. The area is mostly free from the damages of Helene. Plenty of birds coming and going all day:)

Mountain Lake House at Rocky Point
The view of the lake from the large back porch was awesome. A peaceful place to relax and explore the lake on the canoes provided. There was a green egg on site for cooking dinner. I’d highly recommend this location!

LAKE-FRONT! Hot tub, walk 2 town, chrgr sleeps 17
Wow, one of the best stays. Our group of 10 had the best experience. The location is close to town. Very clean in every room. They truly had everything you could need.

Magical Mountain Retreat on Blackberry Falls!
Overall, enjoyed our girls weekend at Casey's cabin. Location was only 20-30 minutes from everything we wanted to do in Asheville and the drive in is very easy. We saw a bear on the way in the second night and saw a ton of birds around the cabin. Furnishings were lovely, beds very comfy. Lovely waterfall within 10' of the backdoor, I sat in the outdoor tub every night listening to the waterfall. Please be aware that you'll also hear the dogs that live with the neighbors and they'll likely be barking most all night. Thankfully you can't hear them very well inside the cabin and I understand this is something that host can't control but the very close proximity to 4 different neighboring properties makes it somewhat hard to feel secluded or in the middle of the forest. Also, I typically started filling the tub after dinner and waited 75-90 minutes each night to fill the tub deep enough to soak in but I planned ahead and this did not bother me and the water was as hot as any hot tub.

Spacious and clean home on beautiful property. Hosts were communicative and helpful. 10 minutes from the airport. We had a wonderful stay!

French Broad RiverSide Oasis, Marshall
This is a very cute and quiet place right on the river and very welcoming after a long day of hurricane clean up and volunteer work. Check in was very easy with a coded door lock. The entire place is very artsy and inviting. The fireplace was very cozy during the unusual cold spell. This property was well cleaned up but the road leading up still has a long way to go towards being cleared and multiple houses have damage and contents outside of the home. This beautiful area of Marshall was sadly quite damaged by the river surge. This should NOT dissuade anyone from staying here- once you pass that point, Billy’s place is wonderful, clean and you’ll enjoy the sounds of the river and the waterfowl passing by. We were honored to help the residents of WNC and plan to return in the future. We hope to see Marshall return to its former charm one day.

Peaceful Lake House Retreat: Swim, Kayaks, SUPs
What a great place. Brought the family for Thanksgiving. Plenty of room for everyone. Saw 4 bucks the day we arrived. We had fires, fished, played games and relaxed. Kitchen is very well stocked. Love the “second” kitchen. It sure helped with Thanksgiving. The whole house is. Thomas is a great host. Don’t hesitate to book. I bet it’s great in the summer.

Take Me To The River
This was a perfect house for our family basically all one level. Great outdoor space indoor high end for each room and very clean and well cared for. Appreciated all the items available for us to use. Grateful for the time at this place with family

Quiet Cove Lakefront Relaxation
The property was super clean, cozy and in a great location. Beautiful views of the lake and a private backyard. Interior had all the essentials one might need. Linens were abundant and clean. Bathrooms and kitchen were all upgraded and very nice. Quick drive to the market and a walk across the street for coffee, drinks and food. Also a quick drive to Chinmey Rock. Patrick, the host, was very responsive and always friendly. Definitely recommend. We will be staying here again!

Lake Lure Condo with a view of Lake and Mountains
it was a wonderful stay and Joy was a great host. The location is beautiful and peaceful. The condo was very comfortable to stay in for 4 of us and has part of the lake right behind it which makes it serene. The check in was smooth , wifi worked without a problem , parking is right in front of the unit, the neighborhood is quiet, and hiking trails are close by. Important to know that you may have to drive a bit for getting groceries etc if you plan to cook dinners. Asheville downtown is about an hour away with 20 min of highway time and other 40 min is winding roads getting to the scenic community. That part of the drive is quiet dark after sunset. Overall, it's a great place for R&R, and Joy is a very warm and responsive host - we would love to come back again soon. Thanks Joy.

Lakefront golf Villa at Lake Lure Rumbling Bald
I can only rate Andrea on her communication. Unfortunately we were scheduled to come the same time Hurricane Helene made her presence. Andrea kept us up to date on weather conditions throughout storm. Unfortunately we were unable to get there to see the home ourselves, but I would definitely book again with Andrea just based on her communication. I hope that they did not endure too much damage, but unfortunate Lake Lure has a lot to recover from.

Mill House Lodge King Creek Falls Condo
We had a great time! My kids loved going on the canoe in the pond. We also loved going to the pool after a day out apple picking and hiking. The mornings are also peaceful sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee listening to the waterfall.

Rumbling Bald Lakefront 4 Bed/4 Bath Condo on Lake
We enjoyed our stay. Kathleen was very helpful. Thank you

Boats Studio Lakeview | Balcony | Pool
This was our second stay in this space. Everything was great and I would highly recommend to anyone!

Bear Lake Reserve * Stunning Condo with Lake Views
We booked last minute and by that, a day and a half before we arrived. Darlene responded within minutes and made arrival so easy with perfect directions/information. Darlene checked in with us during our visit and with the welcome packet Darlene sent us, I had minimal if any questions. The place exceeded our expectations and was so very close to the club and all the amenities. View was beyond! The only negative was we never saw a bear. 😂 We will be back!

3BR lake-view condo with hot tub, pools, & tennis
Soo much to do! we were very surprised at all the amenities. We will definitely come back. We enjoyed the amenities so much we didn't leave the resort to see the area.

Flat Rock Lake Front Condo
This was the perfect place for my husband and I to stay for a family reunion with our twin 6yo daughters. It was cozy so I would say that more than two adults would find it difficult to share the space unless you only needed a space to sleep. The place was clean, had a lovely porch to enjoy the lake views, and was very comfortable.
