Comfortable Condo on the Lake

AmyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Eric’s place was the perfect getaway to get to know the area! The condo is located on the water, no water views but easy access to the water and boat dock. We brought a kayak and it was easy to use the dock to put in and explore the lake! The place was clean, comfortable and provided all the basic needs! Would highly recommend!!

Banner Elk 1BR on Lovely Resort

SherryRating, 5 stars28 months ago
A great location with almost immediate access to skiing and hiking trails! We didn’t use the amenities while there but did see many families enjoying them. A 15 minute ride to Boone and all that area offers was a plus. This was a quiet, corner location with a soothing view of a pond on the grounds out all of the windows. A good sized space to wind down after a full day of adventures!

Another plus is that we were able to pull our pontoon on the shore and leave it for the weekend. Kayla was a phenomenal host - very friendly, welcoming, helpful and responsive! Would recommend!

Beautiful Farm House Apartment

DawnRating, 5 stars22 months ago
I had a lovely two week stay at Eliber's listing. Everything was exactly as described. It is very close to downtown Burnsville and easy access to the main road but also quiet enough that deer were in the yard. Eliber was very responsive and answered any questions I had quickly.

Helton Creek Haven

MasayoRating, 5 stars1 month ago
It was very quaint, clean and comfortable place. The apartment was above the garage of the host's house. It was very private even though the building was technically connected. The host was very responsive, clear on the instructions, and friendly. This place was only 5 miles from Grayson Highland entrance. There are SO many things to do and places to go from there. I definitely recommend this place to stay if you are in the area for an adventure!!!!

Charmer on Creeper & Creek! Walk downtown

BridgetRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Leila’s place was perfect for a weekend in Damascus. The location was super walkable to town and an easy drive to surrounding hikes, etc. We picked the place largely due to the fenced yard so we could bring our dog. The fence was super secure and our dog loved running around in the yard.

Skipping Stones Getaway - Watauga Lake Dock & Hot

JolynneRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We had a truly wonderful stay at Skipping Stones Getaway with our family of five. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a peaceful retreat—surrounded by beautiful views and the kind of quiet that instantly helps you unwind. Christie and Donaven have thought of everything. The house was fully stocked with all the essentials (and then some). From extra phone charging cables to those little items you might forget to pack, it was clear they’ve put a lot of care and attention into making guests feel at home. We spent our days out on the lake kayaking, soaking up the calm and beauty of the surroundings, and our evenings enjoying quality time together around the fire. It was the perfect mix of fun and relaxation. Skipping Stones Getaway is the kind of place you want to return to. Highly recommend for anyone looking to slow down, recharge, and make lasting memories in a truly lovely setting.

Lakefront Sunrise Deck w/ Boat Slip, Washer/Dryer

ElizabethRating, 5 stars20 months ago
Renee's place was a gorgeous haven in Johnson City during our time at the National Storytelling Festival--the home away from home, with a stunning lake, exactly what we needed. Everything was exactly as advertised, only a 20 minute winding drive from Jonesborough, but you never wanted to leave when you saw the sun meet the horizon and reflect across that glassy water. Thanks so much, Renee, we had such a wonderful time revisiting Appalachia.

Chapel Cove Lake Condo

LynetteRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This home was perfect for a visit to the tri-cities area. It was so welcoming and every little detail was clearly carefully considered for the comfort of guests. Even the check-out requirements were exceedingly reasonable and not the least difficult or burdensome. This Boone Lake neighborhood is off the main road enough to feel secluded but close enough to make traveling to anywhere in the area convenient. We had a terrific, though short, visit and would definitely want to stay again on our next visit. One of the best Airbnb's we have visited - I would (and did to friends in the area) highly recommend.
