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!

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!

Riverfront lodge - Class III
What a lovely stay! We really enjoyed making a fire and cooking by the river. Such an awesome location and only a mile from the Nantahala Outdoor Center. I’d highly recommend Donnie’s stay to anyone looking for a private get away in the mountains. We will definitely stay again.

Endless Water Views - Walk to Town & AT!
I booked my stay pretty late in the evening. The host was responsive and got me in right away. I really enjoyed my time here and I hope to return soon.

Great space! So convenient to everything. Quiet stay and easy to get in and settled.

Cozy loft steps away lake Chatuge! Mountain Views!
The resort is lovely! It’s a nice get away. Just keep in mind cell service is limited in this area! It’s beautiful. 😍

Beautiful Lakeside suite with private entrance
Would definitely come back for another stay here. Susan was extremely accommodating and provided us with snack and drinks upon arrival. Gorgeous neighborhood and view from the back porch of the lake. Super clean and comfortable space.

Peaceful Creekside Getaway
This place was amazing and the backyard was beautiful. We had a blast. It's not too far from all of the restaurants and activities/attractions in pigeon forge. Takes about 30-40 mins to get to everything. The hot tub was the cherry on top. I 100% will be back !
Waterfront house rentals

Mountain House Rental at the Lake
The home was very clean and comfortable and anything we needed was provided. It is quite spacious yet sitting in the living room at night with the gas fireplace turned on was so cozy. Sitting on the back porch was peaceful and serene - total bliss. Gloria is a wonderful host and I would recommend staying here and hope to again.

Kingfisher's Roost - Waterfront Cabin/Private Dock
This was such a sweet stay and we wish we could have stayed longer! Beautiful location - my husband enjoyed fly fishing during the day on the water and I was only 20 minutes from kayaking at the NOC. The house was very clean - tidy bathroom and kitchen with all your basics stocked to get you started. Hot tub was lovely and very clean! There is a steeper drop off next to the outside firepit so I would be mindful with little children. Easy check in and they were very flexible and responsive when we had some crazy weather pop up nearby. We will be back again and hopefully stay a little longer!

The Chart House, on Lake Santeetlah
It was the perfect place for a family gathering after Christmas at one of our favorite places. Only wished we could have stayed longer. We’d stay there again.

"The View" On Cherokee Lake w/Smoky Mountain Views
Beautiful house on the Lake !! We had a family get together for the week and this home was so perfect for our families. Great location. Peaceful. Gorgeous views. Beautiful house, inside and out. One of a few that had minimal stairs to the water, which was important to us! We will definitely be back!

Lake Front Home with Private Dock in Gated BearPaw
Our family has been coming to Bear Paw for the last 20 years for our family reunion. This was our first time in this cabin, and it didn't disappoint. Plenty of space, and our children truly enjoyed the game room and well stocked board games. We ended up meeting the neighbors when enjoying the lake and they were so wonderful as well.

Riverfront Fishing Cabin
The place is exactly as described. Very close to WCU and worked out great during move in day. Relaxing place to stay.

Private Lakefront Retreat on Douglas Lake
Excellent place to stay!! Definitely a great value -- Michael and Susan were fantastic and so kind.

Tuckaseegee River House
The Riverhouse never disappoints. Amazing view and access to the river (literally the backyard). The house makes you feel like it is the home away from home. I highly recommend staying here for a any getaway.

Newly Renovated Lakefront Villa - Chatuge Lake
Beautiful stay in a beautiful place. Amy was really great, and the condo was perfect for our group. Would definitely love to come back for another stay!

Soothing Creekside Sounds
Great place to stay. Centrally located to lots of great restaurants, attractions and grocery stores. Loved sitting out back listening to the birds and the creek below. Very private and peaceful. Super clean with lots of extra nice touches. Check out Anakeesta, beautiful park and incredible Mountain views.

*Riverfront* Pet Friendly near Downtown Gatlinburg
This trip was amazing! Chucks place was great, the location is outstanding right on the river with a short walk to downtown

Riverfront Condo close to all attractions.
We sat on the balcony every morning and enjoyed the beautiful peaceful river view. Very comfortable and clean home with everything you need. Jackie was very helpful and accessible. Convenient location. Definitely recommend this condo.

FREE Dollywood Ticket • 3bd 3ba • Condo on River •
The first thing I noticed was a clean smell as soon as I opened the condo door. The condo was awesome! Centrally located and so easy to check in and out. It had everthing you could want in a condo. Beds were super comfy and the Keurig hit the spot! Will definetly be staying with this host again!

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!

Sapphire Valley Escape and view
William & Melissa were excellent hosts. They were very welcoming and helpful with suggesting local things to do. They were very responsive with any questions we had. Their space was also beautiful, well stocked and great for young kids.
