Pet Friendly, Bear Paw by Carolina Properties
We had a great stay at the cabin. Our family of four (two kids under 10) went for a few days during Spring Break. Obviously the area has endured a difficult year and is in varying states of repair. That said, we felt welcomed by everyone we interacted with and its clear they want visitors to come back. We were sad that Chimney Rock and many of the nearby hikes were closed but understand why (and found some lesser known ones that were great). Lake repairs are in full swing so I can only imagine things will be back to normal soon! Even with all of that, our stay at the cabin was great. We spent the crisp mornings on the porch drinking coffee, or in front of the gas fireplace. Used the well appointed kitchen on meals. Used the TVs for family movie nights and the island for breakfasts. The place was perfectly clean, well decorated, and we LOVED the hot tub (and used it daily). It was the perfect getaway that allowed us to experience Asheville while staying in peaceful Lake Lure.

Beautiful 3 Bedroom House on Little Mirror Lake
Place was beautiful inside and out. My only complaint was that there was no laundry detergent, paper towels, or trash bags. Otherwise the host was responsive and the house was clean.

Creekside Cottage -Sliding Rock, Waterfall, Hiking
Beautiful home and surroundings! Our kids LOVED the creek and sliding rock and of course s’mores by the firepit! There is so much to do around the area! We really enjoyed it! Gerrit responded promptly when we had a concern and a couple of questions! Highly recommend!

Dancing Bears Cabin on the water
Shannon's cabin was adorable and the perfect size for our family. The kitchen met all of our needs and I was glad there was a washer/dryer. The best part was the boat dock with a canoe and paddle boards and our kids spent so much time in the cove out on the water. The neighbors are amazing and if you are lucky enough to stay while they are around you might get some fantastic adult beverages and great conversation. We rented a boat a pulled it right up the dock which was super convenient. The host took care of all of our needs quickly and we would highly recommend Shannon's place !!!

Cozy Furnished, Downtown Cottage .Monthly Welcome!
The owner was very communicative throughout our month-long stay. The property was exactly as described. We found it very comfortable and quiet. Main Street shopping and restaurants are a short walk away. There are lots of outdoor activities nearby.

Come to the Carolina Foothills!
Catherine was such a warm and welcoming host and we absolutely loved staying at her place! It was so comfortable and beautifully decorated! She had lots of really nice welcoming touches such as K cups ready there for us and we had absolutely everything we needed! We will definitely stay there again!

Mountain views, pets welcome-lake and river access
We loved our stay at Alen and Bethany’s place. It was peaceful and relaxing, just what we needed for a week away. Our little dog enjoyed running around the yard as we relaxed on the patio. We spent the majority of our time just hanging out and spending time in nature.

Cozy Cottage Next to Chimney Rock and Lake Lure
Great location with quick access to Lake Lure and Chimney Rock. Happy with our decision to book this cabin for the week.

Wagon Wheel # 2 Quiet Tranquil Wildlife
We stayed here while my son had an event at the Tryon International Equestrian Center. It was easy to find following the hosts instructions (if we had followed google once off the main rd we would not have gotten there). The place is comfortable and roomy enough for everyone to rest.

Tryon International Equestrian Center - Cottage
Great little place to stay while competing at TIEC. Host was fantastic and responsive and remarkably accommodating to changes in plans post hurricane. Also very helpful in finding relevant horse related info.

Five Oaks Cottage
The Five Oaks Cottage was just what we were looking for to celebrate Michele’s birthday. The cottage was very cozy and everything we needed, and nothing we didn’t need. David and Penny were very accommodating and responsive. There was a great boat house, canoe and kayak for our use, at no additional charge. We felt welcomed and right at home. We bought one of the children’s books David had written, and David signed it and personalized it for our granddaughter. Lake Lure is a magical lake, and we are looking forward to returning one day.

Pine Knoll Cottage on the River with Hot tub
A beautiful and peaceful place to stay, located near lots of great hiking spots. The mountain view and running stream provided a peaceful atmosphere. The short drive to two towns where there is dining, coffee and groceries, made our stay more flexible and pleasant. The hot tub and starry views were amazing.

Charming Getaway Studio Near TIEC, Tryon & Landrum
Place was exactly how it’s mentioned. Did have one unexpected encounter but David was really quick with letting us know what was going on! We’d definitely stay again and also recommend to others!

The Cottage at Hood Valley Lane
The cottage is charming and simple in style. It was extremely clean. All the check-in info was clear. The description and amenities were exactly as described. Everything we needed for our stay was available. It was a little close to the road, but there was so little traffic and the area was so quiet that it was not an issue at all. The town was quaint in the best way, and the restaurant suggestions were on point. All Good Things Bakery is a must (especially if you are gluten free). We can’t wait to stay again when it gets a little warmer.

Mill Spring home near TIEC and Lake Lure *2 Beds
We have stayed here before, we always feel at home. Roger and his wife are very responsive. we look forward to staying here again soon.

Lake Lure Cottage~Pontoon Available 2 Rent!
The Cottage at Lake Lure provided unmatched views and a relaxed and peaceful retreat. Outdoor spaces are beautiful but unfortunately the boat house that was present at the time of booking had been taken down by the time of our stay, reducing the ability to be on the lake. Access to paddleboards and kayaks a plus and the ability to rent a pontoon was a wonderful bonus. Wifi access was spotty and phone service challenging - this provided some challenges to individuals who planned to work a remote day from the booking. Overall a great stay with fire pit, grill, time on the water, and gorgeous scenery.

Luxury Bluebird Cottage at Living Waters
This was our second stay at Bluebird and it was just as lovely as the first. Lauria and Randy are excellent hosts and their home is such a peaceful respite from the world. Our boys were 1 and 4 last time we came and they’ve been asking to go back ever since. They were sad to leave when it was time to go. They feel so at home there. A perfect way to explore the beautiful WNC region while coming home to a peaceful, secluded paradise at the end of every day.

Cozy corner cottage
Rented the cottage for my wedding weekend and we absolutely loved the space! It was even cuter than the photos, and we all just loved our time there, especially the screened in porch. I was so grateful to have a quiet place where we could bring our dogs, and there was a dog park very close by they could run in. Rhonda was very kind and communicative, and if I'm ever in the area I would love to stay again.

The Cottage at Gilbert Landing
Carrie has a beautiful cottage and we loved our stay!!!! The cottage is just adorable and has everything you would need even spices and oils! I also loved the towel warmer in the bathroom! Would highly recommend her cottage to anyone looking for a lovely place to spend a few nights!!! Thank you so much for sharing your place with us!!!!
