Creekside Haven-Fantastic Location, Heated Pool!
We loved our stay at Creekside Haven! The cozy cabin had plenty of space for our family to spread out and to hang together. The push button fireplace is wonderful! The sound of the rushing creek was lovely. We greatly enjoyed the heated pool on rainy days and “apres ski”. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Being so close to Cataloochee was very convenient! There’s lots of cute little shops and places to eat. We had great meals at Joeys Pancake House, J Arthur’s, Catrina’s Cantina, and Beach Mountain Diner. Overall, our Maggie Valley trip was awesome, we will be back, and we would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone planning to visit!

Sapphire Mountain Secluded Hideaway
We traveled to John’s place from Louisiana with three young kids - 5, 3, and 1. We could not have picked a better house to meet our needs. The house was impeccably clean and had so many little extras like laundry detergent and a few key spices. The kids loved the playground and we loved that the house was one story, totally eliminating the stair fear factor with the toddler. We cooked many of the nights we were in town and the house had absolutely everything we needed, down to tin foil to make clean up easy! The location was great - we made day trips to Brevard, Cashiers, Clemson, and the Highlands. We have already recommended this place to friends looking to plan a family vacation to the area. One of our favorite stays yet!

Ticoa Heights in Connestee Falls, Community Pool a
Very comfortable, quiet home. I felt like we were the first guests based on the cleanliness. We enjoyed sitting on the patio watching for wildlife and played a few games of foosball. Easy instructions, no fuss. Thank you.

Luxury Smoky Mountain Home, Hot Tub,Near Asheville
We had an amazing stay in this comfortable and well-equipped home, it truly felt like home! The peaceful area made our stay even more relaxing, and our kids had a wonderful time. Everything was thoughtfully arranged, making it perfect for families. We also loved the well-stocked kitchen and the little details that made our stay extra special. Definitely recommended for anyone looking for a cozy and family-friendly place to stay! 🌟🏡✨

5 bedroom house in Brevard with amenities
We very much enjoyed our stay at Sue’s place: very peaceful and comfortable

POTTS POINT AT LAKE JUNALUSKA
My family and I were very impressed with the house! We visited for Thanksgiving and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils and cookware. Lynette even left a very yummy apple pie on the counter for us! The house was cozy and clean. Beds were comfortable. The WiFi worked well. There was plenty of space for the 5 of us and could easily accommodate a few more folks. We would love to stay here again!

Lake Keowee Home near Clemson, boating, and hiking
Keith was very responsive and helpful from the moment I booked the BNB for the weekend. Very simple process and the details and instructions were very clear and easy to understand. The house is beautiful in a great location with perfect sleeping arrangements for a group of 8-9. Highly recommended booking this location for your next trip to the lake

Serenity - Spectacular Mountain Views!
This is a beautiful house with a great view of the mountains. We felt right at home. The host was very responsive and helpful from before we checked in to after. We would recommend them and this house.

Cosmic Mountain Retreat! In town Amazing views
Sharon’s Cosmic getaway is a fantastic choice if visiting western North Carolina. The place spotless, beautifully furnished and a terrific view. It’s close to Asheville, the Smokey Mountains the Blue Ridge Parkway and lots more. The host is very responsive and great communication from check in to check out. Would highly recommend.

A Great Riverbend Escape
Always a 5-star place to stay. We have family in Franklin and always want this house and are very disappointed if it is already taken. Quiet, peaceful location. Easy to get to. It's always neat and clean, decorated so beautifully. Plenty of amenities. We've stayed in other houses (when we couldn't get this one) and the host only provided 1 dishwasher pod, 1 laundry pod, 1 trash bag, etc. - certainly not enough for a weekend. Cherisse is always available and helpful. A perfect host.

Beautiful Mountain Home-Pets!
Great location for visiting my daughter at WCU. Quiet and peaceful! We enjoyed having plenty of space to relax and catch up.

Sapphire Daze - an amazing view, with a cottage!
Beautiful view and plenty of room for our family. Kerry responded quickly to my questions and gave clear directions. I’m glad she recommended to stay on paved roads since we arrived at night and alternate routes take you down gravel roads. Convenient location for our stay to enjoy snow tubing and amenities at the Sapphire Valley Community Center.

Amazing Lakefront home with private NEW dock
We visited Phillip’s lake house for a long weekend to celebrate our daughter’s upcoming 17th birthday, along with a few of her friends and our family. Within 20 minutes of being there, our daughter asked us if we could rent again this summer! The house is beautifully appointed (the girls loved the leopard stair runners!), and the home was absolutely pristine. The owners have left no stone unturned when it comes to detail, instruction and comfort, and there was plenty to entertain our crew inside and out! The surroundings are somewhat ethereal, not to mention peaceful, even with 6 teen girls, a ten year old boy, and our pup! We all loved that he got to join us, and being the water dog he is, he was in heaven! Our favorites were exploring the lake in the canoe and other water toys, so generously provided, and star gazing on the dock! We can’t wait to visit again! This home may have become our new Highlands tradition!

Berry Mountain Escape
This was our 2nd stay at Carmela's place. Again, it was spectacular. It was warm enough for the outdoor firepit. Unfortunately, there was a burn ban in place, so we were not able to use it. The place itself is very homey and comfortable. Love that it's pet friendly and a private location. We would definitely stay again!

The Wall Street House
This house is in a great location and is very nice. It’s new and clean. You can walk everywhere . Will rent again.

Laurel Ridge, Enjoy the indoors outdoors!
This was a great place for our family to spend a week exploring Brevard. 10-15 minutes to downtown and also to hiking and outdoors.

Cozy Blueridge Mountain Retreat
This was amazingly comfortable super clean I would definitely come back what a wonderful host and beautiful place oh and the view was beautiful

*Gorgeous Mtn Views, Fire Pit & Wine Cellar*
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with our family. Even with the rain we had a wonderful time. We loved the smaller cottage for us older folks. Some peace and quiet from the grands! Plenty of room for everyone to spread out and have their own space. We thoroughly enjoyed the large fireplace. So warm and cozy! The large Christmas tree and decorated mantle was a beautiful addition to the holiday spirit. Thank you again for sharing such a special place!

NC Mountain House | Mountain Views, Hot Tub & EV
We had an amazing stay at this Airbnb with our family of 10, ranging from a baby to grandparents. The house was meticulously maintained and spotlessly clean. It had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing trip. The layout was perfect, with plenty of space for everyone to spread out while still having great common areas for gathering. Every room was beautifully designed, so no one felt like they got the “lesser” room. The views were absolutely incredible, and we loved the added amenities—board games, foosball, a jacuzzi, and a grill. The host was fantastic—super responsive, helpful with local recommendations, and proactive in keeping us informed about a nearby fire. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this home for any group looking for a relaxing and well-equipped retreat!

Rita’s Smokey Mountain Lodge
Great place to travel between cities and visit Smoky Mountains. Nice, quiet area and the trails on the property were great. Rita's place had everything you need for a home away from home. We'll stocked for cooking meals and great resturants nearby. We recommend a ride on the Smoky Mountain Railroad!! Thank you Rita for sharing your home..

Lake front 3 bed home hot tub, fire pit, WCU Hike!
Beautiful home with great views.

Highland House - Near Asheville
Wonderful location with great views. Lovely house and host.

Mill Creek Cottage w/ great view, no cleaning fee
I have stayed at many AirBnBs, and Joan’s was by far the VERY BEST ONE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED! There should be awards for this home. I can’t rave enough about it. Accommodating is the number one adjective I believe describes her cottage because there is not a single thing we needed- Joan has thought about it ALL; she has to be the most thoughtful host ever. Personable and cozy are some other ways to describe this home- we didn’t want to leave! The bird watching and porch is so very inviting and peaceful. The bath is gorgeous and has everything you need for it. The towels were heated, there were robes, clean linens… games, every cooking item you can think of, coffee, precious and thoughtful things left out special here and there just for us- I mean, you think it…. She DID IT. Absolutely AMAZING. 10/10. The price shocked me for how much of a TREAT it is to stay here… must mean Joan is a humble person, which is VERY rare these days. Can’t wait to come back! 😊

*Not damaged-Cabin on 60 acres -Starlink Internet!
Looking for a private mountain top escape? This fits the bill! Beautiful views are a given. The house is comfortable with plenty of room to spread out. My kids were disappointed it wasn’t a full size pool table but still played several games. I’d caution anyone without 4 wheel drive not to try the driveway during the winter months or even very rainy times. We had a great time hiking nearby trails, hanging out at the house, and enjoying the peace of the mountain. There were a couple maintenance issues but we asked they be solved after we left. Our host was always quick to answer any questions and was helpful. We enjoyed our stay!
