Vacation rentals with lake access in Haywood County

This is a wonderful place to stay! Spacious rooms, perfect for a relaxing vacation with family. The hosts are very kind and their communicative made our stay better than we could’ve hoped for. Will definitely return soon!

A beautiful, peaceful place on the river. The porch was our favorite spot and the big windows viewing the river made us feel like there was no one else around. A wonderful stay inside and out!

This was such a beautiful place to stay while we were witnessing my daughter’s graduation from WCU. It was so spacious, clean, and had gorgeous views, all while being minutes away from the University. The host was so proactive with communication and instructions for check in and out. The place was SPOTLESS. It’s an unforgettable trip!

The house was perfect for a larger group, plenty of space if you needed to be alone. Gorgeous view of the lake and very convenient to the highways. The bathrooms, kitchen and open floor areas were clean but perimeter of the rooms and under the furniture needed to be swiffered. Vacasa offered to come in and do that but I declined as we were halfway through our stay. We were there over Christmas and I was cooking for the crowd so I would have liked some decent serving bowls (not plastic) and do bring your own knives if you plan to cook. I would definitely stay there again.

At first I thought that it was going to be too far away from everything but it was a perfect location. Steve was very prompt in responding to any needs we had while we were there. It was the perfect place for our New Year's getaway. I will most definitely stay again. Thank you for everything Steve.

This was one of the best Airbnbs that we have stayed at in the recent years. Kathleen was an excellent host and we had an excellent time! When the area was impacted by the recent hurricane, Kathleen did a great job informing us of the status of the house and area and how things were looking. The house was spotless and had lots of little touches to help make it special (like the cute little welcome gift bag and treats for the dogs). The area on the lake was beautiful and we spend some great time sitting out with the dogs in the Adirondack chairs, enjoying the view. Kathleen was very accommodating and supported us with a last-minute change of plans. We would not hesitate to recommend this home to our friends and will be looking forward to returning some day in the future!

This house was super comfortable, and the location is ideal for enjoying the Tuckasegee river centrally located close to Sylva and Dillsboro. The kitchen is updated with all the amenities. The two bedrooms are comfortable and the porch is well done and very relaxing. We also enjoyed bonfires at night in the adjacent fire pit

This was a wonderful spot for a weekend getaway. It had a beautiful view overlooking the lake and mountains and was very walkable around the lake. It was also close proximity to the Smokies and Blue Ridge Parkway. Brian was clearly commutative and helpful and made sure everything was going well for us. Thank you!

My mom and I had the most relaxing weekend away at Sharon’s place. Everything was lovely - even better than I expected from the pictures. The various coffees, teas, soaps, and lotion were all nice extra touches; and the bed was incredibly comfortable. We loved sitting out on the patio and reading, enjoying the breeze and view. My parents used to come to Lake Junaluska together, and my father recently passed away. So, this was a healing, peaceful trip for us; and we will be back!

Lovely, homey place in beautiful surroundings. Loved all the windows, the gas logs and the front porch. Very short easy walk to the lake. I will definitely stay here again on return trips to Lake Junaluska.

Perfect spot for a night stay to see family. Very comfortable and spacious for a studio, perfect for what we needed surrounded by beautiful views. We will definitely look for their listing again when we are back in town.

This is my second time staying at this fantastic spot, and it was just as great as the first. They are wonderful hosts, the place is a real hidden gem, and the community has so much to offer. It certainly won't be my last time here!

Lovely place, very welcoming and comfortable. My friend and I really enjoyed staying here. There was even coffee available!

Birdsong Cottage was absolutely delightful to stay it. It is exactly as described and pictured. It’s in a great location for walking around the lake or going to meetings in the main auditorium at the retreat center. The street it is on is very quiet and there were several wild bunnies, birds, and even a groundhog! It’s a quick and easy drive to Waynesville for some delicious local food and cute little shops. Sharon was lovely to work with, gave great instructions and replied to any questions quickly. I will for sure be staying here again.

This is a great spot for a family of four. The beds were comfortable. The space was big enough to spread out a little bit. The view from the deck is great as well. If you don't mind being 30 minutes away, this is a great place to stay while visiting Asheville. It's about an hour from Looking Glass Falls too. It's also a beautiful drive to the Tail of the Dragon from here. If you're coming from Raleigh this makes for a much shorter drive home after spending a day driving near the Dragon.

This is the fourth time I have stayed at Carolyn and Van’s. They go above and beyond to welcome and support. Everything I needed. Great view. Grateful.

This cozy place is truly a gem. You cannot beat the location — we walked around Lake Junaluska every day. The house was well-decorated, comfy and had lots of amenities. The host even included a bottle of wine and snacks! The back deck is a great place to start the morning with a cup of tea of coffee. I highly recommend this Airbnb!

This is our third stay. We love coming here. Love the house and location. Always pristine clean and quick to respond if anything comes up. Near all our favorite things to do.

This cottage in Lake Junaluska was absolutely perfect! Brian was quick to respond to my messages. Although, once we arrived, we didn’t need a thing! The house was beautiful and well-stocked with towels/bedding, kitchen utensils and appliances (coffee supplies as well!), and even small bathroom toiletries (if needed). Everything was so clean, and the decor was lovely. Our favorite spot was the sunroom! We spent many hours reading out there. It was so quiet and relaxing. The location was pretty perfect, too—within view of Lake Junaluska (right behind the covered basketball pavilion and the welcome center) and just a few miles down the road from all the wonderful restaurants and shops in Waynesville. My husband and I are already talking about staying here again!

With two full living spaces on different levels, there was great privacy and yet it had the perfect living area to gather and eat together. Within walking distance to the lake, gift store, community pool and rec center, as well as a couple of restaurants. House had everything you will need to relax and enjoy your time away from home. Hosts were very communicative and thoughtful in their touches with snacks and candies (loved by the kids), as well as items for coffee and tea, as well as a hand written note. Highly recommend!
