Vacation rentals with a kayak in Asheville

We had a wonderful family Christmas at Stephanie’s place with our three tween girls! The home was clean, super cozy and warm with so many holiday decorations and extras. We enjoyed the hot tub, badminton and all the comforts inside as well! The girls appreciated all the books and games and each found a cozy nook for reading and resting. We also really enjoyed the gas fireplace which provided extra warmth when it got super cold a few nights. So many clean towels, blankets and extra pillows. The kitchen was extremely well equipped. Stephanie was extremely responsive and helpful. We really loved exploring Asheville and supporting the community with our business. Some of the local establishments remain closed due to Hurricane Helene but there were plenty of options operational for food and essentials. We would recommend the place to friends— Five stars!

Elaina was a great host and the place is beautiful! We stayed for a weekend (3 couples) and enjoyed all the amenities. The location was great for the wedding we attended at Laurel Falls. Would absolutely stay again.

This place was so fantastic we are starting a new tradition of staying here! Easy access to the lake, the amenities were FAR BEYOND expectations and the proximity to local parks can’t be understated. Don’t look elsewhere, just book this location and you will be very happy.

Our family of four (including two older teens and two dogs) loved Diane’s place. The location could not have been better. We had a beautiful view of the mountains from all of the many decks and outdoor living spaces, and were in an ideal cove for swimming and paddle boarding. The house has everything we needed and much more. We never needed to leave except for groceries. Our kids preferred it to our usual beach vacation. The kitchen and appliances were spotless. Throw blankets, pet protectors, pool towels, life jackets and every kitchen item you could imagine, the home provided it all. Diane was extremely gracious and proactive in communication. If we plan a future lake vacation, we will certainly look for this lovely Lake Lure home again, and anything Diane is hosting.

Had a great stay with the family. The house was very nice and had plenty of space. My kids had a lot of fun outside playing.

A great spot to spend a few days exploring Asheville! Close to everything! Lisa was fantastic at communicating with us - everything from check-in to easy checkout processes. We would definitely stay here again!

This was a great space for a quick getaway! We loved using the pool! The house is clean and very updated!

The house was nice and roomy. driveway was a little tricky. view of mountains and golf course was amazing. we had a storm on Saturday night and GODS light show was beyond incredible across the mountains viewing from the deck. Mark was a great host I would recommend the place 10 out of 10.

The cabin was great! Just as described with comfortable beds, quality linens, fun outdoor toys that kept the whole family entertained. The kitchen has everything needed for a meal, quality grill, and overall 5 stars and would come back as a family of 4 any time. Thanks for an amazing week at the lake!

This place is a great location , stocked well and can walk to everything in town . Communicate great . We were in town for a wedding at Village on Green -so easy to get to everything.

This is the most serene comfortable home we have ever had the pleasure to visit. It is very private, beautifully appointed, and has every convenience you need or could wish for. It is situated right in the middle of quiet nature setting on a small lake with all kinds of birds, fish, turtles and other of Gods beautiful creatures. The host was easy to communicate with and very responsive. We plan to go back hopefully for a longer stay next time. We happened to be in Cashiers to attend a funeral. When we arrived there were fresh flowers and a personal condolence card sitting on the kitchen counter. Such a thoughtful gesture. Definitely recommend and we are going back! Oh and the beds are super comfortable which means a lot to us!!!

The Cottage at Lake Lure provided unmatched views and a relaxed and peaceful retreat. Outdoor spaces are beautiful but unfortunately the boat house that was present at the time of booking had been taken down by the time of our stay, reducing the ability to be on the lake. Access to paddleboards and kayaks a plus and the ability to rent a pontoon was a wonderful bonus. Wifi access was spotty and phone service challenging - this provided some challenges to individuals who planned to work a remote day from the booking. Overall a great stay with fire pit, grill, time on the water, and gorgeous scenery.

Bear Lake is beautiful and isolated. Top notch staff, beautiful spaces and good amenities. The house was in fantastic shape and was everything advertised. The back porch is a fantastic place to hang out and enjoy a beautiful view of the mountains on the other side of the lake. A few things to consider - the road to the house is curvy and very steep. Also, cell service is very poor, so make sure to set your GPS and copy a picture with the door code before leaving the service areas.

This was my second visit to Marthas and once again it did not disappoint. This time we decided to book specifically for a father son fishing trip. We had a blast caught plenty bass blue gill and some catfish. I normally never catch any bass but they were pumping on my hook all weekend. Martha is always helpful very responsive and so polite she always leaves a little snack in kitchen when you enter. The furniture is cozy and very comfortable the setting is relaxing and beautiful view. The neighbors are polite great restaurants nearby and easy to drive to with many grocery stores close by the locals are so friendly and welcoming.

This was the perfect location for our celebration of my mountain biking husband’s 50’th birthday. While the guys were biking the rest of our crew hiked the private trails at Conastee Falls within the neighborhood and paddle boarded and kayaked on Ticoa Lake. The house is located right on the lake, and adjacent to the boat launch and dock with a ladder, which was very convenient. The home has its own dock with kayaks and paddle boards to use. We did not use the Pedal pontoon. (It is noted in the description but for water access you need to be able to walk a good may steps down to the water from the house or drive down to the Ticoa Lake access one space over if it is too steep fo you to descend and ascend the stairs. We brought our dog with us and Jenni’s home accommodated her so well, with a large crate and dog toys and feeding bowls. The lower deck has the ability to fence in a space for pets while you relax in the hot tub or sit on the deck. The home had everything we needed.

I've spent many years using Airbnb. This was a very special experience! The cottage is perfection. The grounds and surrounding area are stunning! But the hosts, Melinda and Hal , made a lasting impression. You both made my birthday one of the best! I am forever grateful and can't wait to return.

Beautiful place to stay. Hosts were very kind and immediate to respond, when needed. Would certainly recommend to anyone looking for a nice relaxing getaway.

The Lake house was one of the quietest and most peaceful air b-and-b's we have stayed at. The new back deck is the highlight of the lake cabin. The rest of the cabin is fully equipped and functional, but we hardly left the back deck. With its fenced in area and gate was perfect for the dog. The kayaks and dock are a nice addition. It is located close to good dining at Micas restaurant and Whiteside brewery. We came for the hiking in Panthertown area. We will be back again.

We really enjoyed staying. It was very relaxing and very well clean well stocked and had everything you needed plenty of towels and linens and cleaning supply’s and etc.

The treetop lakehouse was awesome! It was exactly as described. We loved having all the amenities (hot tub, sauna, cold plunge) and all the games (inside--ping pong, skeeball, etc, as well as lakeside--volleyball, giant connect four, cornhole). The house was very well-stocked--I can't think of anything we needed during our stay that wasn't there. And the host was very communicative and very quick to respond when we had questions before the trip. The lake is peaceful. It's small, but we liked that because the kids could go out paddling and fishing and we didn't need to worry about them going too far or getting near boat traffic (no motorized boats on the lake). We highly recommend this place!

The Airbnb was in a beautiful location and it was very clean. The instructions for check in, amenity use, and check out were easy to understand and very simple. The house was beautiful and the host was friendly and easy to communicate it. He gave us some local places to visit and recommended restaurants that were delicious. One of the best Airbnb’s I’ve stayed in. We had an excellent experience and would book this house again if we come back to the area.

Really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful location. Peaceful and with activities to keep busy throughout the day and evening.

We had a wonderful stay! The house was beautiful, well furnished, and stocked with everything we could possibly need. It felt like home! The views from the house are incredible...even better than the photos. The lake has a small beach that was a highlight and there are some nice trails around the property. The host was very responsive and the information we received in advance very helpful. We were especially appreciative of the host's flexibility with a special request. I highly recommend this location and would love to return.

This was a BEAUTIFUL space for our gathering. The house was stunning, super accommodating, and cozy for our large group. There was a lovely trail beside the house that led to a relaxing mini-spring. We loved how private it was and the community surrounding it. We appreciate the host’s flexibility and have already talked about coming back. You will not be disappointed booking this house.
