Holiday rentals with a kayak in Lake Lure

Jake was very accommodating. With the Hurricane destruction that had occurred, Jake still went out of his way to make sure myself and the guests were heard and seen and made to feel safe.

We had a great time in Asheville. House is just as described. Be sure to visit Appalachian Mountain Brewery just around the corner! Great beer and food!

Wow, I am absolutely blown away! This was such an incredible stay! 🌿🏡 Kevin & Linda are the kindest, most caring, and genuinely loving hosts—you can tell their heart is in everything they do. 💛 The pups were precious, and their sweet old girl, Ruth Ann, even joined us on most of our hikes, which made the experience even more special. 🐾 The home was gorgeous, the bed was super comfy, and the WiFi was fast—but honestly, we LOVED having no service outside the house. It made the trip feel like a true reset from the outside world. And can we talk about that bath?! 😍 Omg, yes please. The hiking trails were incredible, the provided map was crystal clear (with extras just in case), and town was just 35 minutes away—super easy to find based on their directions. To top it all off, they even let us try some fresh farm eggs from their chickens, which was such a thoughtful touch. We’re heading home feeling refreshed, recharged, and overflowing with gratitude. 🥰 Already planning our next

Larry and his property were so wonderful. I came as the only adult with 4 girls ranging from age 9 to 17 and I believe they loved it every bit as much as me. Larry talked with the girls and let them know where they were able to explore and what they could have access to. Our plans were to hike and hunt waterfalls, but bc of the fires, two of the parks were closed so we have to change plans. Larry was very helpful with suggestions. When we needed and couldn't find the air mattress, Larry was quick to answer and help out. The property was just so wonderful and I'm grateful for our time there.

This was our third stay at Lake James and this house had the best view by a wide margin. We had a beautiful view of the lake and mountains. The place was a great fit for our family. Bruce always responded in a timely fashion. If this house is available for our next trip to NC, we would definitely book this house again.

Place was just what we were looking for and allowed us to explore the area

This place was just as described! The location was excellent as it is a few minutes from the Biltmore as well as the South Slope neighborhood which we wanted to check out...plenty to do in the area and a very cute neighborhood! The host provided plenty of recommendations for places to go ahead of our arrival so that we could plan accordingly, and communication was terrific throughout out stay! I would highly recommend and definitely plan to stay here again!

Great place, spacious & comfortable. Lisa & Erik were very responsive & accommodating! Convenient location close to Biltmore & easy to get downtown - highly recommended!

The cabin is beautiful and peaceful which is what our family was looking for. We enjoyed all of the amenities, and the kindness Michelle showed our family. It was clean and offered everything you needed to cook and enjoy your surroundings, even a BBQ and smoker. The beds were comfortable, and linens were good quality. Lots of extra towels if necessary. Thank you, Michelle. We enjoyed your lovely cabin in the woods.

Beautiful place. It was quiet and cozy. Super comfortable bed once we were able to climb in.

We had a wedding in the mountains and at last minute found a cottage. It was very peaceful and nice, when we had any issues or questions the host was very prompt to answer. Overall it was a great experience for my Family, The kids enjoy playing around in the open field. The creek was beautiful, The heater worked so the cottage was always nice and warm. There was always something for family to do. Overall great price and pleasant stay. We would definitely book with the Host again.

The place is just as pictured. Very charming 3 bedroom and 2 bath with a lovely view of the lake. We had fun fishing from the dock and swinging in the hammock. The neighbors are friendly and the house has all you need. We really enjoyed our Christmas vacation and would recommend it to everyone.

Great stay at Connestee falls. Loved the views of the lake from the house and the great hiking trails nearby. Lake is stocked with fish and the kids had a lot of luck fishing. Hot tub has a great lake view for enjoying at night

The Lake Summit Nest, Dock and Boathouse exceeded our expectations! It was truly a place where we were able to retreat and rest amid beautiful, tranquil surroundings. The accommodations were immaculate and the kitchen replete with every tool we needed to prepare the meals we ate there. Wonderful coffee, a fridge and cabinets stocked with thoughtful purchases enhanced our experience and enjoyment. There were dozens of special touches that only an empathetic host would think to provide that made our stay more convenient and pleasant. To list them all would be impossible. Melinda is a superb host! There’s so much to do in the area, as well as being a true haven of quiet rest. The boat dock, with its kayaks, SUP boards and opportunities for water play were great. My husband had fun catching fish from the dock and the kayak. We have stayed in many Airbnbs in the U.S. and other countries and The Nest will stand out in our memories as the best!

Wonderful getaway for the family! The kids had the adventure we wanted away from the city. We had zero allergy issues, a few of us have allergy and asthma challenges and this home was clean and allergen free for us! We spent most mornings with coffee and either board games or exploring, the days on the lake with the kayaks and canoes, then nights around the fire with burgers and s’mores. Wonderful place for our family of 5. Thank you!

Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay here. There was plenty of space. There were large dining tables both indoors and outdoors. The home was well-equipped, with everything we needed. Our stay was short-term, but I was amazed by how much storage there was in the house, even though we didn’t personally use it. The furniture and beds were comfortable . Everything was clean. The carport was great for keeping us and our vehicle dry. The location was very convenient to many areas of town- it felt like we were never more than 5-10 minutes from our destination. We liked being able to walk to the college. The yard and deck were great spaces to spend time outdoors.

This rental is a hidden gym beautiful at night quiet and relaxing. My husband and I took the whole family and we enjoyed every moment. They thought of everything! Alberto was very responsive proactive, and friendly. This is a very secure location with gated entry. Our drive from Maryland was worth the 8 hours. We will definitely be back. Thanks Alberto for giving our family the escape we needed.

We truly enjoyed the stay!! The home had everything we need and was in a very nice and quiet neighborhood.

My husband and I wanted a quiet couple of days away from everything and that’s what we got. I wanted a place that had a wood burning fireplace and a hot tub and this had both. The hot tub was large and extremely clean and the fireplace was heavenly (don’t forget the fire starters). The cabin itself was comfortable and it too was very clean. We were able to get in a bit early thanks to the quick response of the owners. We much enjoyed our two days away just doing nothing!!!

Hosts were great at communicating and provided some great recommendations in the binder for the cabin. Cabin had everything we needed to cook all of our meals for our family of seven. Cabin afforded lots of space to spread out and offered some scenic views of the surrounding forests.

We throughly enjoyed our stay at Joshua's beautiful cabin! There was plenty of space for our 2 families and 2 pups. We had the best time during the rainy weather relaxing in the huge living room, playing board games, and watching movies. Once the weather improved, we took advantage of the amenities and played mini golf, pickle ball, and swam at the pool. We also had some of the BEST pizza from the Legends restaurant! Highly recommend this cabin for a weekend full of fun and relaxation!

The house itself was beautiful and spacious. Plenty of room for our extended family. We went to Chimney Rock and Biltmore before the unwanted visitor. We unfortunately were there during Hurricane Helene, so we were without power and had difficulty getting out due to trees in the road and had to cut our trip short. Of course none of this could have been prevented or expected. We were thankful to have the grill outside once the electricity went out. Neighbors and vacationers alike helped to clear the road of the trees. To say this vacation is memorable would be an understatement. We will keep the entire area in our thoughts and prayers for a quick recovery.

Quiet and peaceful place to relax and still close to town. Great covered porch, it rained while we were there and it was nice to still be able to sit outside and enjoy the sound!

This mountain home was absolutely perfect for our family getaway. We were looking for a beautiful place to stay that allowed entertainment in various areas at the same time. The three levels of this home allowed for us to spread out. The massage chair and hot tub were highly visited areas and the open concept allowed us to eat meals together. The hosts were very quick to respond to all of our questions prior to the stay and during our stay. The home was exactly as pictured. There were plenty of towels, blankets, dishes and parking for our family of 12. It was truly a peaceful place to unwind and get caught up with family. We will be staying here again in the future.
