Vacation rentals with a kayak in Lake Lure

Jake was very accommodating. With the Hurricane destruction that had occurred, Jake still went out of his way to make sure myself and the guests were heard and seen and made to feel safe.

We very much enjoyed our stay in this beautiful and spacious A-frame. Beautiful wooded surroundings and lots of natural light in the house. The home is beautiful inside as well with many thoughtful touches. The host was very thoughtful as well and even reached out to let us know we could have late check out because no one was staying the next night. We had a wonderful stay and would love to stay here again sometime!

a great place with a great view. secluded with a friendly cat that comes to visit from time to time. very charming; we loved our stay

We loved this house! The lake setting was beautiful and the house was so cozy! They even had everything you could need to “move right in”… shampoo/body wash, every kitchen item you need, stocked fridge, serving bowls, games, blankets, so many EXTRAS!

Wow, I am absolutely blown away! This was such an incredible stay! 🌿🏡 Kevin & Linda are the kindest, most caring, and genuinely loving hosts—you can tell their heart is in everything they do. 💛 The pups were precious, and their sweet old girl, Ruth Ann, even joined us on most of our hikes, which made the experience even more special. 🐾 The home was gorgeous, the bed was super comfy, and the WiFi was fast—but honestly, we LOVED having no service outside the house. It made the trip feel like a true reset from the outside world. And can we talk about that bath?! 😍 Omg, yes please. The hiking trails were incredible, the provided map was crystal clear (with extras just in case), and town was just 35 minutes away—super easy to find based on their directions. To top it all off, they even let us try some fresh farm eggs from their chickens, which was such a thoughtful touch. We’re heading home feeling refreshed, recharged, and overflowing with gratitude. 🥰 Already planning our next

This was our third stay at Lake James and this house had the best view by a wide margin. We had a beautiful view of the lake and mountains. The place was a great fit for our family. Bruce always responded in a timely fashion. If this house is available for our next trip to NC, we would definitely book this house again.

Beautiful and peaceful spot in a neighborhood close to town and Biltmore estate! Hosts were very friendly and provided recommendations and checked in to see if we needed anything. They provided lots of extras in the pantry and the house was well appointed and very clean.

Great place, spacious & comfortable. Lisa & Erik were very responsive & accommodating! Convenient location close to Biltmore & easy to get downtown - highly recommended!

The cabin is beautiful and peaceful which is what our family was looking for. We enjoyed all of the amenities, and the kindness Michelle showed our family. It was clean and offered everything you needed to cook and enjoy your surroundings, even a BBQ and smoker. The beds were comfortable, and linens were good quality. Lots of extra towels if necessary. Thank you, Michelle. We enjoyed your lovely cabin in the woods.

We stayed at Mike and Cate's for my husband's birthday weekend. It was a perfect, cozy spot (loved the bed!) for us to unwind after our adventures to the Biltmore House and a day of antiquing. I highly recommend this for a couple looking for a quiet neighborhood and relaxing stay. We had a great seafood meal at Surf & Brew Oyster Bar, minutes from the house!

What a cool property! The house was cozy and clean, but that's only the beginning. My kids played in the giant field, explored the woods, cold-plunged in the creek, relaxed in the hot tub, made s'mores in the fire pit, and played lots of ping pong! This isn't just a house; it's more like a camp! It was more charming and memorable than we ever expected. We had everything we needed and wished we could have stayed longer! The driveway and parking area were adequate and navigable, even with my 15-passenger van. The surrounding area is beautiful! During our 3-day stay, we hiked 6 waterfalls and did Sliding Rock, all within a 30-minute drive. So glad we didn't miss the experience of staying at this unique and lovely property. We'll be back!

This was my second visit to Marthas and once again it did not disappoint. This time we decided to book specifically for a father son fishing trip. We had a blast caught plenty bass blue gill and some catfish. I normally never catch any bass but they were pumping on my hook all weekend. Martha is always helpful very responsive and so polite she always leaves a little snack in kitchen when you enter. The furniture is cozy and very comfortable the setting is relaxing and beautiful view. The neighbors are polite great restaurants nearby and easy to drive to with many grocery stores close by the locals are so friendly and welcoming.

Great stay at Connestee falls. Loved the views of the lake from the house and the great hiking trails nearby. Lake is stocked with fish and the kids had a lot of luck fishing. Hot tub has a great lake view for enjoying at night

The Lake Summit Nest, Dock and Boathouse exceeded our expectations! It was truly a place where we were able to retreat and rest amid beautiful, tranquil surroundings. The accommodations were immaculate and the kitchen replete with every tool we needed to prepare the meals we ate there. Wonderful coffee, a fridge and cabinets stocked with thoughtful purchases enhanced our experience and enjoyment. There were dozens of special touches that only an empathetic host would think to provide that made our stay more convenient and pleasant. To list them all would be impossible. Melinda is a superb host! There’s so much to do in the area, as well as being a true haven of quiet rest. The boat dock, with its kayaks, SUP boards and opportunities for water play were great. My husband had fun catching fish from the dock and the kayak. We have stayed in many Airbnbs in the U.S. and other countries and The Nest will stand out in our memories as the best!

Wonderful getaway for the family! The kids had the adventure we wanted away from the city. We had zero allergy issues, a few of us have allergy and asthma challenges and this home was clean and allergen free for us! We spent most mornings with coffee and either board games or exploring, the days on the lake with the kayaks and canoes, then nights around the fire with burgers and s’mores. Wonderful place for our family of 5. Thank you!

Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay here. There was plenty of space. There were large dining tables both indoors and outdoors. The home was well-equipped, with everything we needed. Our stay was short-term, but I was amazed by how much storage there was in the house, even though we didn’t personally use it. The furniture and beds were comfortable . Everything was clean. The carport was great for keeping us and our vehicle dry. The location was very convenient to many areas of town- it felt like we were never more than 5-10 minutes from our destination. We liked being able to walk to the college. The yard and deck were great spaces to spend time outdoors.

This rental is a hidden gym beautiful at night quiet and relaxing. My husband and I took the whole family and we enjoyed every moment. They thought of everything! Alberto was very responsive proactive, and friendly. This is a very secure location with gated entry. Our drive from Maryland was worth the 8 hours. We will definitely be back. Thanks Alberto for giving our family the escape we needed.

We truly enjoyed the stay!! The home had everything we need and was in a very nice and quiet neighborhood.

This was our second time staying at Rohin & Michelle’s place in Gerton. We loved it just as much this time around as we did the first! The hot tub was an added bonus from when we were here last, and everything else was just as remembered! Wonderful hosts, a peaceful getaway and an easy drive when we wanted to go into Asheville. Would recommend to all our friends!

Hosts were great at communicating and provided some great recommendations in the binder for the cabin. Cabin had everything we needed to cook all of our meals for our family of seven. Cabin afforded lots of space to spread out and offered some scenic views of the surrounding forests.

This was a BEAUTIFUL space for our gathering. The house was stunning, super accommodating, and cozy for our large group. There was a lovely trail beside the house that led to a relaxing mini-spring. We loved how private it was and the community surrounding it. We appreciate the host’s flexibility and have already talked about coming back. You will not be disappointed booking this house.

We had a wonderful stay! The house was beautiful, well furnished, and stocked with everything we could possibly need. It felt like home! The views from the house are incredible...even better than the photos. The lake has a small beach that was a highlight and there are some nice trails around the property. The host was very responsive and the information we received in advance very helpful. We were especially appreciative of the host's flexibility with a special request. I highly recommend this location and would love to return.

Quiet and peaceful place to relax and still close to town. Great covered porch, it rained while we were there and it was nice to still be able to sit outside and enjoy the sound!

My son and I really enjoyed our weekend in the mountains - the cabin was great, with the right blend of comfort and fun! We particularly enjoyed a canoe trip around the lake nearby, and are so glad that the stay included the opportunity :)
