Vacation rentals with lake access 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.

This was a very comfortable home. Spacious and beautiful, and very clean, with gorgeous grounds. I loved all of the beautiful artwork on the walls! We were there for race weekend at Bristol, so we weren’t able to spend a lot of time just enjoying the property, but would love to come back one day for that. I would definitely recommend!

Great place with beautiful sunset over the mountain. Spacious housing with everything you "need". With one message Tricia cleared all of my questions.

This property was perfect for my family to enjoy our vacation by the lake while visiting family. loved every second of our stay.

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.

Stayed here to ride some of the many roads on our motorcycle and the location to ride VA, TN, and NC was perfect. Bungalow was just as described. Furnished beautifully and was so cozy and comfortable. If ever back in the area will definitely stay again. Highly recommend!!!

If you're looking to unplug and get away from it all, this mountain cabin is exactly what you need. Tucked far off the beaten path, it's surrounded by stunning scenery and just a short walk from the lake. The cabin itself is cozy yet spacious, with one bedroom but plenty of sleeping space for a group (we had 8 adults and were very comfortable). It’s stocked with all the essentials for a relaxing stay, no need to go anywhere unless you really want to. Would recommend taking extra toilet paper and paper towels. If you're someone who likes to dine out, be prepared to drive. Restaurants and stores are quite a distance away, so plan ahead and bring what you need. But honestly, that's part of the charm, it's a place meant for staying in, slowing down, and enjoying the quiet. The deck deserves a special mention, it’s hands-down the most relaxing part of the property. Whether you're sipping a drink, reading a book, or just soaking in the view, it's the perfect place to unwind.

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

A great location with almost immediate access to skiing and hiking trails! We didn’t use the amenities while there but did see many families enjoying them. A 15 minute ride to Boone and all that area offers was a plus. This was a quiet, corner location with a soothing view of a pond on the grounds out all of the windows. A good sized space to wind down after a full day of adventures!

The home was clean and really well organized. The layout of the beds and the rooms worked great for the number of people that were listed. Overall Chris was a great host and made our stay for skiing very cozy. We even had snow come in on the day we were checking out and the roads in the facility and the town roads were kept up really well. I’m not guaranteeing that you won’t get stuck in a 2wd vehicle, but the roads were kept up and I felt confident.

We enjoyed our stay! The space was very clean and the location was wonderful. The view from the deck was beautiful. Another plus is that we were able to pull our pontoon on the shore and leave it for the weekend. Kayla was a phenomenal host - very friendly, welcoming, helpful and responsive! Would recommend!

Great place for a visit to Sugar Mountain! I took my son and we had a blast. This place is really close to the mountain and everything g in Banner Elk! The place was very clean and had everything g we needed! I highly recommend!

Wonderful home to stay in! it is way bigger than we expected and was perfect after a long day of travel to relax in. Both bedrooms are very comfortable. Cheryl was wonderful and very accommodating for us!

Amazing time!

Wonderful stay with a wonderful host. The area is really nice with tons of stuff to do!

John is “the” host! We had a great time in his property. The property has everything you need to have a great time. You can fish, swim in the pond, play pool, etc. John takes really good care of you, cannot ask for a better host!

This place was exactly what we needed it to be. I would definitely stay here again.

Maria’s mountain house was lovely and suited us perfectly for a mountain getaway weekend. She was very responsive and provided clear communication leading up to check in and we were even able to check in a bit early. The space was very homey and extremely peaceful. There is access to a lot of hiking and outdoor spots nearby. The community also has access to tennis and pickleball courts for a small fee. There is a cute coffee truck a short drive away and nice streets for walking the dog!

We had such a great stay! We came up to visit Grayson Highlands and enjoyed the private solace of this home. We really appreciated how clean and well maintained the home was, and how many small creature comforts were considered, including a well stocked kitchen, a fireplace (bring firewood!), and a home set up well to make the most of the beautiful surroundings. The place is very remote, so be sure to stock up on food, coffee, firewood, etc. before you arrive! Aaron was a great host, and went out of his way to fix an issue before our arrival. Oh, and the view from the very top of the driveway is worth the hike, especially when the AM fog is still settled in the valley. :-)

Perfect spot for our stay. Home was cozy and just like pictures. Would definitely recommend!!

We enjoyed our trip to Newland and surrounding areas. Jeremy’s place was perfect for our family and friends. We enjoyed our trip!

It's a really charming, comfortable, clean, and quiet place. It has the best kitchen equipment of any place I've stayed: a large set of dish- and glassware, pots and pans, plush towels, comfortable bed. The host communicated well and quickly. I would definitely return.

We had a nice stay! Karen was quick to reply with any questions. The house was clean and the perfect size for our stay. Thank you Karen!

So charming and close to all the things we needed to attend yet we felt as though we were secluded enough to enjoy a private little weekend.
