House rentals with a pool

Creekside Haven-Fantastic Location, Heated Pool!
My family and I had a great time. The place was awesome. First of all, it is super clean. We enjoyed the creek, playground, grilling, the pool, and were able to work at night with the WiFi provided. The location was convenient and peaceful. The house was also loaded with plenty of essentials. The coffee machine was very clean, I usually have to use my own but theirs was clean so I did use it. We would definitely book here again. The owners were responsive and very pleasant.

Elevacres
This was our fifth year staying at Elevacres. We have so enjoyed each visit. Kevin was, again, a great host. Thank you for everything. We will miss your home as our AVL rental, but can’t argue with you wanting that daily view back. Cheers!

VIEWS! 100+MB WIFI! firepit, private, convenient
Gorgeous mountain retreat is a perfect way to describe this property. I found everything in the description of this property to be true. In my opinion Karla’s description was very humble and we found the property to be much better than expected. Entire family celebrated my father’s 90th birthday, and found the house plenty spacious for all of us. With full living space on the main level and downstairs we never felt crowded.The house was immaculate and very well stocked with items that were above and beyond any other property I’ve ever stayed in right down to the firewood. Directions were easy to follow and communication was always done in a timely fashion. If you want to relax, do nothing, enjoy the views this is the place for you. If you want to be active, go hiking, play golf, tennis, etc. this is the place for you. If you want to grill out and watch football with the gang, this place is for you. So if you have a large group, and you are looking for a mountain getaway, I recommend that you stop looking and book this property NOW!!

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.

5 bedroom house in Brevard with amenities
I had a wonderful time at Sue’s house! It was perfect for ladies celebrating a birthday!

POTTS POINT AT LAKE JUNALUSKA
Lynnette’s beautiful place was delightful! The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were comfortable, and everything was spotless. We felt so at home with the Christmas decorations and especially the welcoming pie. We hope to come back soon. Great location- close to everything!

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!
I think this was our 5th or 6th stay, I’ve lost count. We love this place and will come again!

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
Our family had a fantastic trip, and Phillip was extremely proactive with communication and great recommendations for restaurants and fun activities nearby. The house had everything we were looking for and is very comfortable and inviting. They also stocked the kitchen with basic items you usually have to remember to bring…including a full variety of spices, oil, coffee, etc. The property itself is where this rental really shines! Beautiful view of Lake Glenville and the house is nestled in a peaceful cove with an impressive waterfall just across the way. There are several outdoor seating areas that make it PERFECT for whatever you’re looking to do. For those wanting to really get away to a quiet retreat, look no further! We would definitely stay here again!

Berry Mountain Escape
The home was beautifully decorated and peaceful. Very spacious and comfortable.

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.

Hot Tub | 5 private acres | 21 min Asheville
The photos do not do this location justice at all! Not only does the host explain in detail all elements, and you'll find the place if you read the details, but they left snacks and treats and was perfect from the long drive I had to come relax at this location. You are not far from anything really, so just roll down the windows and drive into town. I40 is very close. At night, you cannot beat taking a shower and sitting in the seats by the Fire overlooking the town as it's get darker and darker. You will feel as you are looking down on Earth itself. The hosts are incredibly amazing, and Danny even left his Salsa to try. Eating it right now haha! Need to have him ship me some. Heated bathroom floor, great open kitchen, hot tub, what more could you want to truly relax. I will be coming here again, and my wife was so jealous so we are planning our trip back to the mountains. Thanks again for everything, you're welcome for the drone photos, and we will be in touch!

Cozy Blueridge Mountain Retreat
My husband and I were in town for a quick weekend of house hunting, this made a great home base. Lots of little touches that made our stay comfortable and go very smoothly. Great location, private, peaceful. When we come back we’d stay here again for sure.

*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..

Emerald Ferns Cottage (Short walk to waterfall!)
We had a lovely stay at this charming new cottage. It’s bigger than expected and love the front and back porches. It’s in a great location, peaceful but close to the center of Cashiers. Will, Amber and Mark are great hosts! The cell service is weak but I was able to use my phone on the front porch. Would definitely stay again!

3BR Lakefront | Dock, Hot Tub, Game Room + EV
Beautiful home with great views.

Mill Creek Cottage w/ great view, no cleaning fee
I have never stayed at a more well stocked rental. If you forgot anything, no worries, she probably has it in the house! Joan left some very thoughtful, personal touches like having the heated blanket turned on for me when I arrived, a bowl of treats, etc. My favorite part is a tie between the gorgeous claw foot soaking tub which I used every night, and the beautiful view of the mountains from a large picture window. The location was really beautiful, and had a grocery store and multiple gas stations within a few miles of the house. The only thing that kept it from being perfect, was the spotty wifi, which is understandable in the mountains, but all the lighting was hooked to Google, so Google either didn't understand, or the wifi kept failing for the commands. It just seemed it took 5x as long to turn on a lamp, than simply turning the switch. I ended up unhooking the one in the bedroom during my stay. I would highly recommend this rental, and Joan is an amazing host.

House 564
Terry’s place was immaculate! Literal dream home! Very peaceful and quiet! Bed was comfortable and shower was amazing!! Everything was beautiful and very clean and organized. Recommendations we received exceeded expectations! Went to the Clayton cafe twice! Terry was sooo very kind and accommodating! My wife and I came for our honeymoon and it was amazing, safe, and welcoming! 11/10 recommend staying here!
