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.

Cozy Lakefront Apartment
Beautiful apartment on the lake! Everything you need to be comfortable is there. Can’t thank the host enough for awesome communication and wonderful experience!

Lake Life Upper Apt-2 min walk to Lk Junaluska ASM
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!

Sail Away Suite
Karen was helpful in sending recommendations and communication regarding the impact of Helene on the area. Always answered questions and put us at ease. The suite was beautiful and the amenities were nice and the views were great. Instructions were helpful. I would highly recommend this suite

Lakeview Upper Oasis With Large Dock
What a gem of a place. We booked this listing on a last-minute whim for MDW. Not only was it even lovelier than the pictures but it was exactly the getaway our weary souls were needing. There are few places that will calm you better than a cup of coffee on the patio. Lucia was extremely responsive, gave great and clear instructions and was very accommodating. The only draw back is the number of stairs down to the lake. The view is killer but with toddlers that made things like bathroom breaks tricky. If you’re not super mobile take that into account. Otherwise, this was a slice of paradise. The fire ring, stocked wood, and plethora of kayaks and paddle boards made this a fun weekend to remember.

Old Mill Retreat
Beautiful location! The host is definitely a nature person with beautiful plants and chickens. The place was both invigorating and tranquil. Definitely recommend!!

Lakefront Condo Flat Rock N.C.
Overall a really beautiful and peaceful spot that checked all the boxes for what I needed for the week. Super comfy and cozy. Had a really lovely stay, and Paul was super responsive. Definitely will be looking to book here again when I return to the area in the future!

Casa Paz: Creekside Oasis in the Smoky Mountains
My husband and I were so happy with our stay at Judy and Maria’s tranquil home. Everything from the creek to the hot tub and relaxing living space were perfect. My husband enjoyed fishing in such a great spot, and I enjoyed watching the ducks with their little ducklings, and the hummingbirds that visited often. 😊 We spent plenty of time relaxing, but also enjoyed the close proximity to good restaurants and shopping, and hiking. Casa Paz is in such a convenient and beautiful location. For good food we recommend Chef’s Table and Haywood Smokehouse in Waynesville, and Twisted Spoke in Maggie Valley. The place was very easy to find and Judy and Maria were very responsive with any question we had while we were there. Highly recommend a stay here!!

Evergreen Lakes | Mountain Cabin | Gorgeous Views
We spent Thanksgiving week at Evergreen with our family of 4. The surrounding land is stunning - naturally beauty that is worth the stay alone! The cabin feels like going to a great camp in the mountains...the rooms are large - every room is spacious and comfortable. It is an older property with a sense of history - feels like a family home. The kitchen was well stocked and there were plenty of linens for the beds - and extra quilts. The property is rural but not a far drive to Tuxedo or Hendersonville for groceries. We also went apple picking at a near by orchard! It is probably equally beautiful in the spring when the trees and bushes are in bloom.

The Green River Ranch
Green River Ranch was just what we hoped for: rustic, charming, quiet, pet-friendly and very clean. The direct access to the Green River was fun. We spent one afternoon sitting in beach chairs, chatting with all of the kayakers and tubers who floated past us. Our dog loved romping in the field. The central air conditioner was great -- kept us cool during our late-July stay.

Moonshadow's Mountain-Discount, Privacy, Waterfall
I’ll first start off with the fact that the pictures don’t do this place justice! The waterfall feature is literally 12 steps from the front door, the river is a tranquil sound off the side porch and being surrounded by trees was exactly what we needed. The house itsself was spotless, plenty of towels for showering, beds were clean and it was nice to have a washer/dryer for our hiking clothes when we left. If there was anything of note on a negative side it’s that if you have a Tesla or electric car, there aren’t charging stationing nearby (closest is 25-35 min away) this air bnb so be aware when you’re planning. We will 100% be back!

The Mountains Are Calling
The home is beautiful, and the yard was so clean and lush. Fresh cut grass with birds during the day and lighting bugs at night. Safe and clean neighborhood. The homes decor was warm and inviting, with all the amenities that are needed. Melinda was very helpful to any question I had about hiking the falls. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

Moondance River Retreat
We had such a great stay at this house. It’s tucked away in the woods, super peaceful, and just has a really cool vibe overall. The home itself is beautiful, huge windows, cozy fireplaces, and that awesome open layout that makes it feel super spacious but still warm and welcoming. One of our favorite parts was how quiet and private it felt. You can sit outside and just hear the river in the background, so relaxing. It really felt like a little escape from the world, but still had everything we needed to feel comfortable. If you’re looking for a peaceful, unique place to recharge, I’d definitely recommend it. We loved it!

Lake Access, Firepit, Gameroom, Mins to Hendo
If you want to visit Asheville and still have a quiet place, this place fits the bill. An added bonus is the lively town of Henderson and a great little national park nearby

Little Dipper - Lakefront Mountain Paradise
Little gem. Only weakness was the TV is a bit older and the internet bandwidth isn’t consistent. Cell service is weak up there too, so be aware of that. But if you want to truly unplug and enjoy nature, especially during the warmer months, this place is a treat. The owners have put a lot of intentionality into the place and accommodating the stay of their guests. Overall, wonderful.

Waterfront River Home near Asheville, pet friendly
A peaceful location for a getaway & a perfect home-base for all the outdoor attractions nearby. We loved being able to experience the river & wildlife right in the backyard(the sunroom & primary bedroom with the windows/door open is sooo relaxing). The house is comfortably cozy, with plenty of outdoor space to enjoy here as well- nice private front & back yards with big porches, plenty of seating/dining, a fire pit, & of course the gorgeous river. It was difficult to actually get down to the water without having to climb down the bank on fairly steep & unstable rocks(which I believe may be a new, unfortunate development since Helene). That was a bit of a bummer as it would have been nice to be able to get in the river, it just felt too shifty for my peace of mind(or maybe I’m a chicken?lol). Jennifer was a thoughtful & attentive host who was very accommodating to our needs & requests, & we loved being able to bring our pups along for the trip! I would definitely stay here again!

Creek Side Cabin
The house was great and had the most well stocked kitchen I’ve ever had at an Airbnb. The property was beautiful with plenty to explore with the kids. And it’s close to Asheville and the surrounding communities if you want to go out to dinner and explore.

Mountain Getaway | Pools, Trails & More!
It was a great peaceful Escape for the weekend. The hosts were very communicative and the place was very clean.

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.

Lake Fairfield Hideaway LOCATION, VIEWS PRICE
We enjoyed our stay at Kim's place. It was very convenient to our son's wedding venue on Lake Fairfield. The area is so beautiful and Kim's place was very clean, well appointed and updated. It was easy to find and easy to access per the directions. Kim was always responsive to any questions I had and the clear communication was appreciated. We would definitely book again.

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

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.

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 * Top-Rated Condo * 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!
