Cabin vacation rentals in McDowell County

This was our second stay at Andrew's, and it was just as amazing as the first. The house is always perfectly clean, and has every amenity that we need. The views with the 360 windows make you feel like you're in a tree house, and the skylights are amazing at night for looking up at the stars. The hot tub is super clean, easy to use, and completely private with a perfect view of nature. There are so many awesome hikes in the area, and we love stopping at the Mercantile a few minutes down the road for meals. 10/10. Will definitely come back as much as we can!

I cant stress enough how amazing this cabin is for families. It was our second time and we always enjoy the outside time, the waterfalls, the views and just the quiet! Its amazing. Super responsive host and kitchen is stocked with a lot of what you already need! We brought our three littles and just brought a little babygate for the stairs. They take such good care if your fur babies as well. Looooots of carpenter bees and wasps but you can expect that because its the woods. The wasps dont bother you but the bees sometimes choose violence 😂Book this place now!! You will jot regret the entire experience…oh and the jacuzziiiiii….chefs kiss

This home met all of our needs and accommodated all of our wants, from the home itself to the hot tub and firepit! Central to many outdoor activities and very accessible. Just a tip, Apple Maps wasn’t as accurate as Google maps. Be sure to check the address Apple Maps selects. Eric was accessible the whole time and we had a great trip.

We loved it and are looking forward to going back.

This cabin was the perfect spot for a getaway! The cabin itself was just perfect, cozy and clean. We loved the fireplace and walking trails on the property. The downtown area was a short drive away and had plenty of great food and shopping options. I would definitely stay here again it was an amazing trip and it was so wonderful to be able to bring our dog for a whole family vacation!

Poplar Den was so peaceful and made for a relaxing weekend!

Wonderful view, clean and super relaxing. Loved the separated king rooms with their own en-suite bathrooms. Great for two couples. If you had kids with you the downstairs had two more bedrooms that would’ve been great for kids. Hot tub was great. Only downside to the place is the distance from things if you want to go out at all. We decided to be relaxed and stay in a bunch so it was great. We had rainy weather but did the short waterfall hike in the subdivision one day. It was easy and enjoyable. Took less than an hour. Katrina was very responsive. Overall a great Airbnb!

We enjoyed spending our honeymoon at the cabin. Very peaceful and beautiful views.

We had a wonderful stay and are hoping to come back soon! The location is perfect — walkable to downtown, but feels private. The view from the back porch is absolutely phenomenal! Highly recommend.

Beautiful area, quiet, peaceful, and inviting to be still. House was very clean and cozy. It felt like we were in the “cottage in the woods”. My sister and I enjoyed our stay. She even said why don’t we see if we could stay a few days longer. Planning on returning.

Host was very quick to respond to any of our questions and concerns, and the home is very nice!

The pictures didn’t do the place justice. The view was beautiful. Firefly’s at night, birds in the morning, sunshine on both porches. Peacefully quiet! The space was perfect for our family and the kitchen was equipped for our cooking needs. Stayed cool during the day and warm in the evenings. We loved the cabin and Christy was quick to respond to any questions!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here for our anniversary weekend. My favorite part was sitting in the hot tub after a good hike listening to the sound of the river in the back yard. The cabin was squeaky clean, updated, and had a very well stocked kitchen. They thought of everything you may need during your stay. We can’t wait to come back again!

Enjoyed our stay at this cabin. Clean, cozy cabin and perfect space for my husband and I. All the small things were available, such as washer pods, makeup rags, shampoo/conditioner. Will certainly be back.

What an amazing place to stay. Quaint, secluded, and perfect for a quick family with 3 kids getaway. Easy to walk to river and play or hunt rocks, little to no traffic to walk down the road and look at the small waterfall or play on it with the kids. Quick and easy drive to the multiple gem hunting places. Mary and her husband were the perfect hosts. Will definitely be staying here again!!

This cabin was the most perfect getaway! Lisa and Pete are wonderful, thoughtful hosts. It was such a pleasure to stay there. I would book again and again.

Matthew made us feel right at home immediately. We brought our dog, Annie, and they even had a ball and a snack waiting for her!!! The home was spotless, as were the towels and linens. Communication was spot on, and we could opt for early check-in. The views are spectacular. We frequently stay in the NC mountains, and these views far exceed all others. We were there for the Toe River Art Tour, and it was wonderful returning to this beautiful place after a long day. We will DEFINITELY be back. Linda and Steve

We had a fantastic stay at this peaceful and family-friendly property. The setting was quiet, serene, and perfect for a relaxing getaway with our family. Our kids absolutely loved it and had a wonderful time exploring and enjoying the space. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner upon arrival—he was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and helpful. We highly recommend this place to families looking for a comfortable and tranquil retreat.

If you are looking for an Appalachian getaway I highly recommend this spot in every way! The water and rocks are right outside running downstream.. one of the most relaxing and wonderful areas to hang out and explore. The cabin was so cozy with the sounds of the stream outside, hosts were responsive and the place was easy to understand.

The hideout was very clean and cute. The on demand shower made me nervous but worked very well once you realize how it works. The whole experience was a great one. Thanks again guys

Beautiful cabin in the woods. Very quiet and peaceful. The cabin was well equipped. Edward was responsive. I would recommend.

Wonderful place to stay whether you have business nearby or just want to escape, this cabin was fantastic! Coffee on the front porch in the morning was so peaceful with an array of birds singing what a wonderful way to start the day! Thank you Amber!

We enjoyed our second stay at Heather’s place. We will keep coming back with our family. Beautiful cabin in a beautiful place.

This is a lovely getaway! Guests are surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature . We even saw a chipmunk! Very clean and stylish. Bed was comfortable. Love the privacy out on back deck. Wish we had more time to stay another few nights. If you need to relax in natural surroundings, with all the special touches, this is the place. Old Fort has been working so hard to make a miraculous recovery. So happy to see!
