Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Cullowhee

We had an amazing stay at this Airbnb with our family of 10, ranging from a baby to grandparents. The house was meticulously maintained and spotlessly clean. It had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing trip. The layout was perfect, with plenty of space for everyone to spread out while still having great common areas for gathering. Every room was beautifully designed, so no one felt like they got the “lesser” room. The views were absolutely incredible, and we loved the added amenities—board games, foosball, a jacuzzi, and a grill. The host was fantastic—super responsive, helpful with local recommendations, and proactive in keeping us informed about a nearby fire. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this home for any group looking for a relaxing and well-equipped retreat!

It was one of the best vacations I've ever had, a beautiful and complete house, a wonderful and peaceful place, lush landscapes, beautiful waterfalls, I want to go back to the same place in the summer to be able to enjoy the lakes better. I recommend it to everyone.

The Honey House is lovely. I loved the honey bee theme. It had everything we needed for an enjoyable trip.

I have never stayed at a more well stocked rental. If you forgot anything, no worries, she probably has it in the house! Joan left some very thoughtful, personal touches like having the heated blanket turned on for me when I arrived, a bowl of treats, etc. My favorite part is a tie between the gorgeous claw foot soaking tub which I used every night, and the beautiful view of the mountains from a large picture window. The location was really beautiful, and had a grocery store and multiple gas stations within a few miles of the house. The only thing that kept it from being perfect, was the spotty wifi, which is understandable in the mountains, but all the lighting was hooked to Google, so Google either didn't understand, or the wifi kept failing for the commands. It just seemed it took 5x as long to turn on a lamp, than simply turning the switch. I ended up unhooking the one in the bedroom during my stay. I would highly recommend this rental, and Joan is an amazing host.

Very clean and quiet home. Our stay was great we had beautiful views. Sadly we didnt spend alot of time in the home as we were visiting family. Great vacation home if you just want to relax and get away.

Having stayed in a number of houses on this street before, I knew it was a great location and in walking distance to town. From the start Kirk was very communicative and available to any questions or needs we had. The setup is a little different as there are two separate houses sharing common deck and outdoor space but only one of the houses has a full kitchen setup and you have to walk through one bedroom to get to another in the front house. Considering it was a "girls" trip it wasn't an issue for us but traveling with other couples it could be. Sitting outside on the deck, listening to the creek run is one of the best things about this property!

Beautiful home and property! Pond and hiking are perfect, and the location is very convenient to the Biltmore. Would definitely stay again and recommend. Wonderful family getaway!

Tammy was a great host! Appreciate her opening her home to us. House was clean and instructions were clear. Beds were very comfortable. Very close to downtown Bryson City.

Don and Renie’s place was perfect for my weekend getaway back to WCU. As a host, Don was perfect and accommodating. The views were spectacular and the amenities provided were superb. I will definitely stay here again when I come back to visit WCU.

It was awesome. Would love to go back again.

The home was nice, no complaints, would stay again. But the stars here are the hosts. I was here for Hurricane Helene. The storm damage was honestly minimal compared to what I would later see in some of the harder hit areas, but I was blocked in by a small mudslide for just a day or so. The hosts happened to be out on vacation, but even through the cellular disruptions, they managed to maintain constant contact and coordinated assistance from neighbors. They took care of me like family.

This is a nice place to stay! very updated kitchen and living space. Also, very clean! we will come back again when we're around next time !

Perfect for the NP and Gatlinburg exploring. Very short walk to the action. The condo is nicely appointed and very clean. I mean… the sheets were soft and smelled great! Pillows were fluffy and the mattress was VERY comfortable. Kitchen and bath… spotless. Couldn’t ask for a better stay. Thanks for caring for your property and keeping it updated and clean.

Barbara was super sweet. She was flexible with our late arrival time, made sure the heat and lights were on for us, even offered to grab something for us while she was out at the store so we wouldn't need to make an extra stop. She let us have our space, but was available if we needed anything. Her space is so cute, and her property was very peaceful! We don't make it out of town often, so when we do, we like to get out and explore, and we did so many hiking trails while we were visiting - it was so nice to have a comfortable and inviting space to come back to for our base camp after some long days.

The location of this apartment is perfect! We walked anywhere we wanted to go in Highlands. The place is spacious, the kitchen has anything you could need, and the custom closet made unpacking and staying organized a breeze! We would definitely stay here again.

Evelyn went above and beyond to make us feel like we were at a home away from home! She was flexible as we were arriving late, and checked in with us to make sure everything was going well! Every recommendation she gave was great! We love to explore the small local towns, and this was just great! We can’t wait to come back and visit again in a few months! This will be our forever mountain escape ❤️ bonus: my son loved all of the goodies Evelyn gave him & my husband got stuck in the mud, and they came out with their tractor to get us out!! A million percent recommend and can’t wait to go back!

I work remote and rented Damien's home for a month to disconnect and get away from big city life for a little, and it was the best decision I've ever made. This airbnb was perfect for me and my pup. It has a creek and hiking trail on the massive property which makes for extremely pleasant dog walks. I never had an issue with the Starlink wifi (and I had a lot of devices connected and take zoom meetings all day) while the home is super private and secluded, the town of Franklin with everything you need is less than 10mins away. No complaints about this house or homeowner, one of my favorite Airbnb stays ever and I will definitely be returning in the future. 10/10 would recommend!

Eric was a wonderful host. Directions were very clear and understanding. Although the thermostat is split , Eric was very understanding an adjusted as needed. Great location and get away spot for couples. Very quiet and secured . We will definitely come back!

This place is a great stay for anyone looking for a place centrally located in the Cashiers/Sapphire area. Easy and scenic walk around lake Fairfield. Great Mountain View from back patio. Easy access to Sapphire National Golf Course. The place is very spacious with room to spread out for the whole family and it is equipped very well. Roland is responsive and checked in on us periodically to make sure everything was well. I highly recommend staying here!

We stayed for four nights. The views from this home are more incredible than any picture could capture. We stay in many rental homes when we travel. This is the most well appointed kitchen we’ve ever used. Communication with the host was easy and rarely needed. Lots of great instructions on how to do things around the house. And the space was just simply beautifully decorated. I wanted to spend time with my family in a beautiful home with a breathtaking view. This home did just that! Thank you for sharing your home.

It was good overall but it would be way better after construction would be done and I do not recommend grandparents to go because of walking on the hills, but other than that everything was amazing!! Place was clean and tidy, had hood communication with Hollie and the scenery and weather really helped us made the trip better..

We had an excellent and very relaxing stay, it was a birthday surprise for my husband, he was excited and very happy, the Cypress villa is very beautiful and the mountain views are excellent, waking up with the view of the mountains and the clouds in the sky is the most relaxing, and Julie is an excellent host she was always very attentive to all the details and answered all my questions very quickly, I definitely highly recommend this villa

Such a peaceful retreat in a beautiful setting. Waves of nostalgia in every nook and cranny of this house. Our family thoroughly enjoyed admiring the pictures, decorations, books and furniture! Preparing meals in the kitchen was an absolute treat. We have never stayed in such a well-equipped kitchen. The serving platters, cooking utensils, cookware and glassware were enjoyed by all! The home was clean and so peaceful. The fireplace was just icing on the cake! Everyone enjoyed our family trip and we hope to return!

Our stay at Encore on Nantahala Lake was nothing short of spectacular. The views were stunning, and the accommodations were exceptional. The owners paid remarkable attention to detail, ensuring that every aspect of our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. We rented a boat from Lake End Boat Rentals and Marina, which made the experience even smoother as they handled both delivery and pickup for us. We spent a peaceful evening on the lake, exploring beautiful hiking trails in the area, which made our return to the lake even more delightful as the sun set. Visiting during spring break meant that some activities were limited due to the cooler water temperatures, but we actually appreciated the quieter atmosphere compared to the bustling summer months. Overall, our week was filled with wonderful experiences, and the excellent communication with our host made it all more enjoyable. We were truly blessed to find this gem on Lake Nantahala it certainly lived up to its name. Thank You!
