Cottage vacation rentals in Macon County

Nathan and Talia were amazing hosts! They took every step to take the hassle and worry out of vacationing in someone else’s home. We celebrated our 10 year anniversary at the View House, and it did NOT disappoint!!!! The views - AMAZING, privacy - check, comfortable bedding - check, a kitchen with everything you need - check, well maintained grounds - check, an AMAZING hot tub - check, excellent climate control - check. I could keep going on…Seriously, my wife and I travel a lot, and we chose the View House over 30 other options in NC/GA. All I can say is we absolutely made the right choice and it met all our exoectations. It was an amazing time that afforded a much needed experience to reignite that “spark” and just get lost in each other because outside of having to to turn your focus away from the views, there are ZERO distractions! The drive up and down the mountain will also satisfy any adventurous vibes! Thank you again Talia and Nathan, hope to be back soon!!!

Place was exactly as advertised and host helped with recommendations, and was responsive to any questions / issues. Lovely place to stay near several great hikes!

First I will say that getting up to this property felt treacherous, especially at night. Highly recommend an AWD vehicle if you’re coming up here. Otherwise, the place was very private, clean, and beautiful! Cynthia was an exceptional host - she made sure we arrived safely and was proactive in her communication.

This was one of the nicest Airbnds we have stayed at. Check in was a breeze with keyless entry, house layout was ideal. Towels for the hot tub were an excellent touch. Had very high end appliances easy to work. Privacy is excellent when using the hot tub!!! Very peaceful and stress free weekend. Weekend went so fast we didn’t get to use fireplace but we definitely will be back!! We had no issues and we really enjoyed our selves. Thank you for everything !! A weekend to remember for sure.

10/10! Our two families had a wonderful time! The outdoor activities kept the kids entertained and the screened porch was perfect for the adults. The house is cozy and had everything we needed.

Tiffany was amazing. I enjoyed everything about the place and will definitely rent again from her

I can’t express how nice this cabin is, it’s beautiful. Very nice decor and comfortable beds & furniture. The upstairs loft is so cozy! The deck was spacious and well maintained, the views of the mountains from the covered porch were pretty. Parking is easygoing, no steep driveway. The hosts are very friendly and welcoming! This cabin is not far from the main highway, makes travel easy to navigate the area and explore. The cabin is a few minutes drive from WCU, which is very convenient for anyone in town visiting their college kid. I enjoyed my stay, and I recommend this place a 100%.

Loved our time here! Convenient to shopping, great restaurants and many hiking trails. My family of four was very comfortable in this home - will definitely come back!

Exactly what we were looking for in every aspect. Everything was perfect. Our dog had a great time. Definitely coming back.

We will definitely be back. The hosts really care about your stay and make sure everything goes flawlessly.

This place is beyond amazing. The attention to detail, the cleanliness, the peace, is indescribable. The bed was one of the nicest beds I've stayed in. They have gone above and beyond to make sure that everything is part of the beautiful experience. Highly recommended! Make sure your vehicle has all-wheel drive or 4x4 to go up the dirt road, it's actually fun to get up there. You will not be disappointed staying at this place!

We loved the place and the surrounding, The house is very close to town, and many waterfall in the area are in short distance. you need to remember that you in the middle of the forest almost so take with you some bug repellent and don’t be surprised for any wildlife visits 😁, the place is beautiful and clean and got everything you need to feel comfortable and welcome.

“Attention to details” is what this place should be called. Every detail and I mean every single one, was accounted for. Beautiful, clean, spotless, peaceful and welcoming. The trails out back were lovely and easy to follow. Front screened porch was perfect for morning coffee and breakfast. Without a doubt we will book this location next year when we return!

This place was stunning! Very clean and organized. The only issue we had was not reading the instructions that we would lose cell service halfway up the mountain. In her defense, Elizabeth did put that in the instructions that I did not read ahead of time. Everything was squeaky, clean, organized, well decorated…Beautiful!

This was our second stay at this location and absolutely loved it! The house is so clean and cozy, and Beau is a very responsive host. This is by far the best Airbnb we've stayed at and would return again.

Great place and great value for an ideal location. We loved the space and clean accommodations. The beds are more comfortable than what you have at home. Access is super easy and the back porch is a great wind down spot to view the wildlife. Highly recommend!!

If you are looking for a private space with a gorgeous view, this is the place to rent! My wife and I stayed for four days and loved every bit of it. The drive up to the house is a bit steep but the owners give clear instructions if you’ve never driven in mountainous terrain before. Slow and steady takes you up! Every part of the house was clean, organized, and ready for guests! Kitchen is fully stocked with pots and pans, utensils, and other miscellaneous housewares. We highly recommend this Airbnb and look forward to renting this place again!

Thank you for opening your beautiful mountain home for us to stay this Thanksgiving!! My mother in law in hard to please and yet I felt the super close proximity to downtown Highlands, the beautiful spacious living and dining areas, and having the puppies all there in toe, made this a very special Thanksgiving for all of us!! Thank you for your quick responses and help with the fireplace and stubborn bear proof trash can. Will cannot wait to see yall again when those gorgeous rhododendrons pop with colorful flowers soon!! ❤️❤️❤️

We loved our stay! Check in was so easy and Tracy reached out to us to make sure the keypad was working correctly. Our two girls slept in the loft while our son took the downstairs bedroom. We visit family every year and like to be right near downtown and close to their houses, which took us only 6 minutes. Everything was clean, fully stocked kitchen, linens were fresh, couch was perfect for us to curl up and watch a movie together after a long day. The surroundings are beautiful - stone stairs take you to the lower parking pad, fire pit, darts in the back porch. Highly recommend and can’t wait to stay again!

We stayed at Edwin’s place right after Christmas. We arrived at night to a clean, comfortable place and woke up to the daylight of a magical looking atmosphere. The large windows had beautiful views of Whiteside Mountain, and Edwin was very kind to check in with us and give us tips for hiking trails and places to eat. It was a great time to enjoy the surroundings and Edwin was a friendly, caring host. It was the perfect getaway!

This was the third time to stay at Bear's Den. Not only was Steven easy to deal with, so was Angie who manages the property. We highly recommend Bear's Den and look forward to returning again!

Having 3 queen beds made our stay flexible to invite my parents along for a quick fly fishing and mountain spring break trip. Cashier's has a cute downtown with several boutiques and home decor stores. Will visit again soon!
