Waterfront vacation rentals in Yancey County

Beautiful location and cottage is in great condition. Enjoyed the lake!

We had a wonderful time at Jennifer’s home. Her parents, Ed and Kay welcomed us and made us feel right at home. They provided wine and delicious snacks for us and also gave us passes to Rumbling Bald. The place is right on the lake and absolutely beautiful. The inside is much more beautiful than in the pictures, as it is tastefully decorated and good quality linens and towels were provided. They had every thing available that we could need, expensive toiletries and plenty of floats and kayaks. I can’t say i’ve ever stayed at an air bnb that was so thoughtfully appointed before. We will definitely be back.

We had a great stay here! The amenities were wonderful! Our kids loved the pool and the beach at the lake. Lots to do in this area! Jamie was super sweet and very responsive and helpful! She also makes great recommendations! We would definitely stay again!

Blin's place was spotless, comfortable and the view was stunning - Fall leaves were in full color while we were there. The bathrooms were spacious and clean - the water was hot with good pressure. The king bed in the master was supportive and comfortable. I heard no complaints about the bunk room beds the kids used. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, bowls and cooking utensils. All appliances worked well. It was muddy while we were there so we rolled up the light colored rugs so we didn't accidentally stain them. We had our dog with us and there was plenty of area for him to run and the streets were quiet for a walk along the road. There are steps all the way to the water which will be amazing for lake access in the summer. As it was cold while we were there and the lake was still recovering from Hurrican Helene, we did not get in the water. All in all it was a great place to stay.

Karen was helpful in sending recommendations and communication regarding the impact of Helene on the area. Always answered questions and put us at ease. The suite was beautiful and the amenities were nice and the views were great. Instructions were helpful. I would highly recommend this suite

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.

Thank you for a fantastic stay! Listing is detailed and reflects the space accurately. Despite the challenges WNC is still facing concerning hurricane recovery, Kelly went above and beyond to provide a comfortable, attentive and thoughtful stay. The space is well organized and laid out, free of clutter and provides all the comforts needed for a great stay. I visited during the off season so the outdoor spaces were not yet in bloom but I can only imagine how beautiful things are in bloom. Ample area and space to lounge and connect with nature, local recommendations and a perfect balance of privacy and accessibility to local fun. I highly recommend any guest check out the Hearth Glass and Gallery (sign up for a class if you can) and Maryland Earth to Sky Park - both are stunning places. Thanks again!

I really enjoyed this Airbnb at sugar mountain, I liked how it was an easy 5 min walk to the bottom of the lift. This made it nice for getting rentals and not having to drive the car. The view of the lake was nice! Also a quick walk to the tubing area!

Wow, one of the best stays. Our group of 10 had the best experience. The location is close to town. Very clean in every room. They truly had everything you could need.

We had a wonderful time at this house. It is perfect for a family who wants to get away and relax. The view was amazing and there are walking trails right down the hill. It was just perfect for our family holiday. We will return again!

Beautiful property and wonderful location. Amazing views and easy access to the water. The hot tub was a great bonus as well. Thank you again for the superb airbnb.

Had another enjoyable week at Ross’s Retreat. So much room to relax and enjoy the beautiful lake & Mountain View’s. The 2 kayaks always a plus. Hopefully will be back again next year. Thanks again.

Tara and Tim were great hosts. They communicated well and everything was just as described. We were there to celebrate our son’s wedding and the home accommodated our large group very well.

Awesome place to stay! Very peaceful and very beautiful! Right on the lake!

The house was beautiful with a view of the lake. I enjoyed coffee on the outdoor patio or in front of the various fires. We also enjoyed hiking the community trails as a family. My advice would be to pack everything, the kitchen did not have any supplies (ie garbage bags or olive oil). Worth every penny for the house and would love to go back in the summer. Oh and don't waste your time going to Marion, there's nothing in that town. Enjoy the outdoors instead :)

I had a wonderful stay at this mountain house. The location was breathtaking, with stunning views of the surrounding landscape that allowed me to truly unwind. The house itself was cozy and well-equipped, offering all the comforts needed for a relaxing getaway. I especially enjoyed the rustic decor, which added a warm and authentic feel to the space. Being close to hiking trails and nature spots was a bonus, as it allowed for easy exploration and outdoor activities. Overall, a fantastic place to disconnect and enjoy the peace of the mountains. Highly recommended!

The house was great and had the most well stocked kitchen I’ve ever had at an Airbnb. The property was beautiful with plenty to explore with the kids. And it’s close to Asheville and the surrounding communities if you want to go out to dinner and explore.

it was a wonderful stay and Joy was a great host. The location is beautiful and peaceful. The condo was very comfortable to stay in for 4 of us and has part of the lake right behind it which makes it serene. The check in was smooth , wifi worked without a problem , parking is right in front of the unit, the neighborhood is quiet, and hiking trails are close by. Important to know that you may have to drive a bit for getting groceries etc if you plan to cook dinners. Asheville downtown is about an hour away with 20 min of highway time and other 40 min is winding roads getting to the scenic community. That part of the drive is quiet dark after sunset. Overall, it's a great place for R&R, and Joy is a very warm and responsive host - we would love to come back again soon. Thanks Joy.

I can only rate Andrea on her communication. Unfortunately we were scheduled to come the same time Hurricane Helene made her presence. Andrea kept us up to date on weather conditions throughout storm. Unfortunately we were unable to get there to see the home ourselves, but I would definitely book again with Andrea just based on her communication. I hope that they did not endure too much damage, but unfortunate Lake Lure has a lot to recover from.

We enjoyed our stay. Kathleen was very helpful. Thank you

We throughly enjoyed our stay! Loved how close the Ski lodge and lifts were. Loved having a bathroom in every room. The only thing that it needed was maybe a booklet of things to do and and instructions on place, some older ppl like a hard copy!!!

We loved Serenity. It was the perfect place for my son and I for 4 days of skiing. It is really close to the base of Sugar Mtn too. I’d recommend doing car drop off if you’re carrying skis and in boots. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, pots and pans. We had a blast!

Had a fantastic time and being with in walking distance of everything is very helpful especially during the high traffic times of the day.

Soo much to do! we were very surprised at all the amenities. We will definitely come back. We enjoyed the amenities so much we didn't leave the resort to see the area.
