Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Johnson County

we drove up for a wedding and happened to be there in the middle of the hurricane. Even though we had no power, we were still able to communicate with Brooke because she walked to the end of her road to get service to message us. If that's not a great host, I don't know what is. Thank you so much for being available even during the worst conditions to help answer questions we had. The Airbnb was beautiful and I even saw a couple deer which made me happy. Definitely recommend this place and we will be going back in better conditions.

Robin is quite nice and responsive. We really liked this house which is new, clean and well equipped. Due to recent snow, you need to walk a little way to the top of the mountain (difficult to drive on ice) but Robin will let you know in advance and turn on the outside lights for you. We believe you will get a better view when the weather gets warmer. Good value for money!

The place is was very clean and very nice.

We had a truly wonderful stay at Skipping Stones Getaway with our family of five. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a peaceful retreat—surrounded by beautiful views and the kind of quiet that instantly helps you unwind. Christie and Donaven have thought of everything. The house was fully stocked with all the essentials (and then some). From extra phone charging cables to those little items you might forget to pack, it was clear they’ve put a lot of care and attention into making guests feel at home. We spent our days out on the lake kayaking, soaking up the calm and beauty of the surroundings, and our evenings enjoying quality time together around the fire. It was the perfect mix of fun and relaxation. Skipping Stones Getaway is the kind of place you want to return to. Highly recommend for anyone looking to slow down, recharge, and make lasting memories in a truly lovely setting.

This place was absolutely wonderful! We truly could not say more wonderful things about it! It was perfect! Amy was so thoughtful and the place was warm, inviting and so comfortable! We will be coming back again! Thank you Amy for everything!!!

We enjoyed our stay. The place provided us with the space needed for our family vacation, conveniently close to Beech Mountain, Sugar Mountain, and Grandfather Mountain. Peaceful and private for rest after our activities during the day.

Had two of are six people come stay for one night, and loved it and may plan on booking a trip next year.

Cute place to stay very close to the marina/dock. A fully stocked home with many essentials for our stay

Great place to stay! The place was clean and cozy and exactly what we needed. Great value. Amy was a fantastic host.

Highly enjoyed my mountain stay! The view was spectacular, the driveway was bit rockery than anticipated but my Toyota Camry made it up fine! It was very clean and cozy! The hosts did an amazing job at communicating and accommodating our stay. The guest book was adorable and full of fun recommendations of activities to do. I really loved it here, will happily visit this same property on my next stay!! worth the money and the view!! Thanks again!!

Great place to stay and very quiet. It had everything I needed. Clear check-in instructions, and it was easy to come and go without the host needing to be there. Very clean! I will stay there again when in town.

2nd time staying here and loved it just as much! They take so much time to make sure it’s as cozy as possible with extra blankets, fans, or space heaters. Little things like this make all the difference! Will be back!

Great location to hit the AT. Great hospitality and his wife makes THE BEST cookies! Great place to stay if you are on the trail or just in the area on vacation.

We stopped here for one night while traveling. Mariann’s place was lovely. We all liked the lake house theme. We spent some time in Hungry Mother State Park before moving on. Great stay!

Edwin’s place was perfect for a weekend getaway for me and my fiancé. Super close to Beech Mountain Ski Resort. The host also recommended great places to rent gear, etc. We loved it and would recommend their place if you’re looking for a place to stay close to the ski resort!!

Thank you David! What a great little place! We could walk to everything we needed. We especially loved the warmth and simplicity. So very cozy and accommodating!

Our stay at this cabin was absolutely wonderful! The cabin was clean, comfortable, and beautifully designed, making it the perfect getaway. The views outside were stunning, offering a peaceful and private setting to relax and unwind. Everything was exactly as described, with all the listed amenities available and well-maintained. The location was ideal—secluded enough for privacy yet within a 30-45-minute drive to a variety of activities, including snowboarding, skiing, hiking, dining, and local attractions. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and would highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a serene and comfortable retreat!

Believe it or not the photos do not do it justice. The property is serene, private and magical. The home has all of the modern amenities in a cute and cozy cabin. Squeaky clean spaces, well decorated and they thought of Everything!!! Even had dog blankets and dog shampoo!! We plan to reserve this spot again next year! We saw a deer and a wild turkey right in the front yard. We had a blast sitting by the campfire right outside the home! Our dogs loved it and we feel refreshed and rejuvenated. Thank you so much for a lovely stay!

We have rented homes on Watauga 15+ times and this so far has been our favorite. It’s very obvious how well the home and outside is cared for. The patio, furniture, and dock are all so clean. I have found that a lot of places lack that part. It was so nice to be able to paddleboard and kayak without paying extra. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. I highly recommend this house and plan to return for future visits if it’s available!

My girlfriend and I stayed here for the week of New Years. We wanted to get away from everything for the new year and celebrate with just the 2 of us. This property provided exactly what we were looking for. You can still see the effects from the hurricane but you can see how hard they are working to get everything back to normal but nonetheless the property is still beautiful and peaceful. We are already discussing to come back in the spring or summer to experience this beautiful property in the summer. I highly recommend anyone stay here.

Everything was as described. We were greeted as soon as we arrived, both very helpful and informative about the area and local attractions. We will definitely be back

We had a wonderful stay! The place was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The host was kind and welcoming, and we especially appreciated being able to bring our dogs—it made the trip even more special. The location was peaceful and perfect for a relaxing getaway. We’d definitely stay again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and pet-friendly spot!

Had an excellent stay here with our two dogs. The house was clean, welcoming, and comfortable. The little touches like having a dog crate and dog bowls available made it even better. We had to use 4-wheel drive to get up the steep driveway after rain and snow came through, but otherwise it wasn’t an issue. The location was far away enough to have peace and privacy, but close enough to easily access shops and restaurants in town. Would love to stay here again!

We had a great stay at this magical little cabin. Our family was not bothered and the area was very peaceful. Would stay again!
