Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Watauga County

We loved Sarah’s place! Everything is exactly as advertised. It’s completely private yet accessible.

Enjoyed everything provided from firewood, hygiene supplies, board games and even a basket of fruit. Bed was very comfortable and the kitchen made for a good baking activity! Very quiet and peaceful at night.

10/10 Beautiful, clean, private home in Valle Crusis. Our favorite part was the idyllic views from the back porch! Hosts were extremely communicative. Be aware you have to take your trash to the local recycling center (it's close to the property).

My husband and I stayed for a month at the house and absolutely loved it. It was peaceful and beautiful with the music of a rushing streamf filling the house everyday when we opened up the French doors. It was refreshing to see that the house actually matched all of the photos and the amenities that were listed. It was great to have a grocery store and a restaurant within 15 minutes of the house. we loved it so much. we're going to come back again next year.

This is our second time staying at Marta’s. I have never stayed at an Air BnB with such attention to fine detail. The beds are extremely comfortable, pristinely cleaned, beds and linens are always well made. It has a lot of charm and feels just like home. Our boys love the porch swing and we get to be close to family. Great spot and a better bargain!

I fell in love with this little spot of peaceful heaven. The home is immaculate and well-stocked with anything you need for time away from home. We loved it and will be booking again!

We really enjoyed our stay! Great spot for families, very private and peaceful. Good location, close to all the hiking, fishing and things to do in Boone. Appreciated the instructions on all the appliances. Connie was very accommodating and responsive. Would love to come back another time, especially with the pool opening up with the warmer weather!

We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. It was in the perfect location for everything we wanted to do. (Hiking, wineries, visiting Boone, blowing rock and linville falls). The location was peaceful and as described in the listing. The host was very quick to respond when we had a little trouble with the electronic door lock. Heads up that both bathrooms are only accessed through the bedrooms which was a little annoying for our group but manageable. We absolutely loved the hot tub and definitely would have utilized the pool and tennis courts if we’d stayed longer.

Quick weekend trip with friends to the Hills of NC! Great getaway and Sarah's Place fit our vibe perfectly!!! Loved walking all over town from our location! Will stay here again!

We travel frequently and can say that issues found at other rentals were not issues here! This condo was as listed, felt very comfortable with upscale details, had a fully stocked kitchen (we were able to cook a large dinner with ease), provided started supplies, and allowed us to fully enjoy the serene setting. I definitely recommend this rental for both summer mountain exploration and winter ski access…the slope is a short walk away! We plan to return to the area and will be choosing this rental again and that says a lot because I am pretty darn picky!

Betsey was great! Very responsive and flexible with check in. Place was clean, comfortable, and a gorgeous location!

Simply one of the nicest airbnbs I’ve ever stayed! This condo was gorgeously newly renovated as of summer 2025 and was fully equipped with everything you might need. The place was expertly designed to feel like the perfect combo of cozy and modern and was left clean and organized. Location is perfect for Beech Mountain access (less than 2 minute drive, but wouldn’t recommend walking due to the busy road with narrow shoulders that beech mountain is on). Would love to come back and visit soon!

This Airbnb felt like home! Everything was perfect. The place was clean and spacious, and the host was super kind and helpful. The jacuzzi tub was our favorite, and the patio views were amazing. I loved the room so much that I used it to propose to my wife. She said yes! This stay will definitely be one we’ll never forget, and we’ll definitely be returning. If you’re looking for an Airbnb, you won’t be disappointed.

Had a great stay, everything was easy to follow and comfortable

Beautiful place with wonderful views. Would definitely return.

Our stay was perfect! Roxana answered all of my questions any time I had any. The pool and hot tub were both open and really nice. The place was clean and just enough space! We didn’t really need/use the kitchen but it had everything you would need. Place was clean and cozy. Kinda scary getting to it up the mountain with all the turns (from someone who lives at the beach) but nothing you can’t handle! Will book this place again!
