Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Appalachian Mountains

It’s feels like pressure to write a review that stands up to ALL the other incredible reviews. I suppose we should stop there because that says it all. But we will add this: Ellie and Tower either wrote the book on hospitality or they read it 100 times. There is no doubt you will get the sense that everything is done with an eye to making you happy and comfortable…. And they do that in Spades. If this place caught your eye… act now… it will capture your heart as well.

Lovely place with lake views. 100% happy with this choice vs other offerings in the area. House is set on a hill so you are viewing the lake from a higher spot than if you were literally on the lake. Very majestic. There are binoculars on the window sill to check out boats/things going on. I enjoyed the decor/sense of style the host has. Lots of interesting books, art, turntable, board games, cards, etc. The gardens, koi pond are well maintained. Rooms and bath upstairs do have lower ceiling but this info is disclosed in the ad. It didn’t detract from the experience. Went hiking but we were not avid hikers so learning to read the trail markers was new for us. The town is very small but we found nice spots to eat/visit nearby. We did use kitchen and coffee maker. Appliances are very new. Plenty of kitchen utensils. Cool hairdryer. Host def. appreciates design. Thank you for letting us stay a few extra hours past check out. Wonderful time! Felt like I really got away from the stress.

Nothing but great things to say! Our host was super nice and responded quickly when we needed to communicate! The cabin is on the side of a mountain so you get beautiful views! With that being said I wouldn’t recommend driving at night if not used to driving mountain roads and the description of the road is accurate it’s a one way with some pull off areas for traversing. You don’t have to have 4 wheel drive during non winter season but there are people with cars that live there but we wouldn’t have felt comfortable to do that. The stairs to go up to the master bedroom are steep as she said but they have a non slip grip tape on each step and there are gates at every level for children/pets. The hot tub was so nice and was already up and running when we arrived. There were towels, dishes, some condiments, and a decent amount of kitchen utensils and such. Downtown blue ridge and ellijay are both pet friendly places! Amicalola state park is beautiful with an easy hike to the waterfall.

Tom and Carol’s place is top-notch! It’s rare to find a getaway spot that’s both tucked away in a pristine natural setting and which contains all the modern amenities one could ask for. To top it off, Tom’s artwork and sculptures beautifully adorn the property, which makes the apartment and its location feel like there’s a little magic around every corner. Tom and Carol are fantastic hosts; we felt right at home upon arrival. The small towns nearby also had some great restaurants with a welcoming vibe and friendly folks to boot!

Marika was so awesome as a host from the moment I booked a few months ago and in communication planning the trip. The house blew us away, so authentic with all restoration very tastefully made. We cannot say enough great things about this house, a Wright-fan's dream come true🙂

We came here for a private getaway on our honeymoon and it did not disappoint. The price was a bit much, but for such a special time I felt it was worth it at the time I booked, and worth it it certainly was. beautiful, quiet, serene, it was perfect for a getaway. I would absolutely recommend, and I already have, this stay. 10/10

Beautiful place, we loved the hot tub, the fire pit the gorgeous bedroom and fully stocked kitchen. A dream to cook and hang out in. This is a place you want to stay in and not leave. Internet and wifi was excellent. Communication was great. The projector system didn't work at all and we did get some help, and when they weren't able to help they offered us a free night stay if we wanted to stay another day. However, please stop with the AI responses they are not helpful and just make it feel less responsive once you realize it's not a human. Cons were just that the sofa isn't very comfy or loungeable, but that's really it. Thanks for a lovely stay!

We loved our stay at this stunning home! The hot tub and sauna and the views were major highlights for our 10 year anniversary trip! Great for a weekend away!

Excellent spot. Exactly as described: hot tub is indeed hot (and clean and works well), beds are very comfortable, it is easy manage temperature, the shower was great, and kitchen well stocked. All just perfect. Isabelle was very kind and helpful, too. Would recommend and would return!

This was my second stay here- just as peaceful, clean and comfortable as the first! Spacious “in-law” quarters with all the necessities and a nice touch of extras like a stocked coffee station with Keurig brewer, countertop convection/air fryer oven, and electric fireplace. The apartment’s cleanliness and neatness is a standout. Great communicaton from the host as well.

Modern, beautifully decorated unit with great privacy. Views are amazing, so wide, expansive and peaceful. You can watch sunrise and sunset from the balcony! You can see people passing on the side street in their horse and buggies. The outdoor seats are very comfortable. The bed is comfortable too. Matt is a phenomenal host, his response time is super quick, he is very helpful and accommodating.

Beautiful and comfortable home, nicely decorated. Felt like home away from home. The place is very cozy with a great view at the river, very relaxing. I have to say it has exceeded my expectations. Judi and Dave are very responsive. I would book again in a heartbeat.

We had decided to come into town to visit some friends and see the baseball games that weekend. We came with my 8 month old and arrived super early in the morning (2am ) . The check in was easy and Andrew spelled everything out for us. Once inside it was clean, up to date and nothing really our babes could easily get to, which was a plus. There was an extra pull out bed but the bedroom had plenty of space for us to put a pack and play. The kitchen and bathroom were clean and had everything you could need. We were a close to the stadium and where the action was, just maybe a mile and half away. We would definitely recommend Andrew’s place to others coming into town and hope to stay again when we return.

Beautiful home, so much natural light! Keep in mind that it is up 3 flights of stairs as well as stairs coming from the driveway to the front door. Great area, slightly away from downtown. Sherin was very communicative and a great host!

What a lovely place! If you crave natural light, you’ll have to go outside as this basement apartment has few and small windows. This is decorated in a lovely lux way. Fannie was so responsive. Hope I can rent it when I’m in town next! The BATHROOM is wowowowoowow!

A touch of luxury on a beautiful working farm. What a gorgeous retreat! A stunning apartment next to a peaceful lake on 80 acres - pure country bliss. Blaine and Co. were absolutely lovely, so friendly and helpful! The apartment was divine with a perfectly appointed kitchen and a huge, comfy bed! The fireplace would be perfect for those cool evenings in the Fall and Winter. I can't wait to come back!

The cottage was beautiful, very clean and modern. The outdoor layout is also very successful, perfect for enjoying the outdoors. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this place!

The house was perfect for our family of 8. It was spacious and well equipped. It was quiet with lovely views across Lake Ontario. The location was perfect, close to RBG and a 15 drive to good restaurants. Tal was extremely responsive to any inquiries prior to arrival and after arrival. We really enjoyed our stay.

This was my husband and I’s third time staying here, and it is absolutely our favorite place to visit. The villa is clean, comfortable, and well-designed, and the surrounding vineyard is gorgeous. Wish we could move in!

Veronica is an amazing host and we had a wonderful time staying there. The place is true to the name - A Time to Chill. We felt right at home as soon as we stepped inside. The kids had a fun time playing arcade games and Foosball. Our evenings were spend mostly in the backyard either in the hot tub or having fun around the bonfire. We couldn't try the pizza oven and felt we should have stayed longer. Definitely, a highly recommended place and we will love to be back soon.

We had a great time at Harpreet’s villa on lake Eerie. The view of the lake with naturalized area in between was heavenly and peaceful. Lots of different bird species make you feel like you are truly away from the city. The kids stayed thoroughly entertained in the games room while the adults enjoyed the comfortable living quarters. The kitchen was clean and functional and the bbq was spotless! Overall a great getaway.

What a lovely cottage. Our little group was looking for a nice quiet place to relax and enjoy mommy alone time. This place was perfect. They had a nice touch with the ambiance music when we came in and left us some little treats. We very much enjoyed the hot tub and the fireplace since it rained most of the weekend. It was perfect to relax, nap, laugh and enjoy. The host was very responsive and helpful when we had any questions. We will be back for sure !

This is at least our third time here and it's literally perfect! The place is even nicer than the pictures. Absolutely immaculate and if you ever have any issues, just text, and you will get a response likety split. Thanks again SO much!!!

This place was incredible! The mountain view was absolutely picturesque - like something out of a postcard. The interior was just as impressive - stylish, thoughtfully decorated and with such a cool vibe that I genuinely felt cooler just for staying there. It's clear the host put a lot of care into creating a space that's both comfortable and memorable. If you're looking for a place to stay in Lake Lure, I can't recommend this house enough! We also really enjoyed our dining experience at Grey Hawk Bar and Gardens. The food, drinks and atmosphere were incredible and it's only 3 minutes from the house!
