Waterfront Lake Lure- No Kids! 21 mi to Biltmore
We had a wonderful time at Jennifer’s home. Her parents, Ed and Kay welcomed us and made us feel right at home. They provided wine and delicious snacks for us and also gave us passes to Rumbling Bald. The place is right on the lake and absolutely beautiful. The inside is much more beautiful than in the pictures, as it is tastefully decorated and good quality linens and towels were provided. They had every thing available that we could need, expensive toiletries and plenty of floats and kayaks. I can’t say i’ve ever stayed at an air bnb that was so thoughtfully appointed before. We will definitely be back.

Cozy Lakefront Apartment
Tammy was a wonderful host and very responsive. She even took it upon herself to contact us and let us know we could check in several hours early. Her place was spotless and everything looked practically new. The "house rules" were short, sensible and not burdensome in the least. The kayaks were great fun and a wonderful amenity. It's also a very convenient location to a lot of the area attractions. It's almost right on a section of the Palmetto Trail, which we were there to bike. She even allowed us to store our bikes in the downstairs mud room, which was perfect to keep them secure and out of the way. The surround sound system was a cool amenity as was the huge shower with the multiple shower heads. Great getaway!

Lake Life Upper Apt-2 min walk to Lk Junaluska ASM
This is my second time staying at this fantastic spot, and it was just as great as the first. They are wonderful hosts, the place is a real hidden gem, and the community has so much to offer. It certainly won't be my last time here!

Endless Water Views - Walk to Town & AT!
We had a wonderful stay at Monisha's place! The views from the window and deck were gorgeous! The house was very cozy and clean. Monisha is a great host and we hope to come back again!

Beautiful Farm House Apartment
I had a lovely two week stay at Eliber's listing. Everything was exactly as described. It is very close to downtown Burnsville and easy access to the main road but also quiet enough that deer were in the yard. Eliber was very responsive and answered any questions I had quickly.

Stardust & Moonlight on the Lake
We really enjoyed staying here, we were here a week and have been to NC many many times. It was a really pleasant experience. The condo was clean and had all the necessities. The bed was comfortable and the location was close to a lot of great shops, cafes, and trails. We’re big hikers and it was super easy to get to a lot of different trails from here with multiple roads and highways accessible. Also very close to Asheville and Hendersonville.

Lakefront Condo Flat Rock N.C.
Overall a really beautiful and peaceful spot that checked all the boxes for what I needed for the week. Super comfy and cozy. Had a really lovely stay, and Paul was super responsive. Definitely will be looking to book here again when I return to the area in the future!

When Pigs Fly Farm
We loved our quiet nights on the river with Kerry. She is a safe warm and super friendly host with the most picaresque mountain homestead. The space is cozy, comfy and clean.

Lake View & Easy Access to Town on Quiet Street
Perfect getaway with peace and quiet, dog loved it too. Walkable to Black Mountain with shopping, restaurants and music venues.

Magical Mountain Retreat on Blackberry Falls!
We had an incredible stay – the house was cozy and the creek was beautiful. Fantastic host. We would definitely come back!

Amazing Lakefront home with private NEW dock
Absolutely perfect. We stayed for the week with our five kids (6,4,3, & 1 year old twins) and had an amazing family vacation. The space worked perfectly for our needs as a large family with small kids and the beach area was especially perfect for toddler playtime. The waterfall across the way was stunning and we loved boating around, fishing, swimming, fires by the lake, and rainy evenings in the hot tub. Such an amazing place for families!

Pisgah Retreat w/ Hot Tub & Private River Access
Located in the heart of the Pisgah National Forest, this place was perfect for our Memorial Day week getaway. The host's guidebook had some fantastic local recommendations. We enjoyed roasting marshmallows, making s'mores and relaxing in the hot tub. Loved that you could hear the river stream while sitting on the porch drinking your morning coffee. The pet-friendly policy was a blessing. The property was completely fenced, which was a bonus. We felt safe letting the dogs explore the property. Would definitely recommend!

Creek Side Mountain Retreat
This was a lovely place and exactly what I wanted!! The dog door and fenced in area was enough to convince my boyfriend that he needs to install one at his place. The view on the deck was incredibly peaceful! John was super friendly and helped with anything we needed. I worked “remotely” while I was there and no issues with the Wi-Fi! There were lots of nice little touches in the house and the bed was comfortable. Thank you!

Airstream w/ Bathtub, River, & Hot Tub
Awesome oasis in tree-covered canopy! We stayed at the airstream more then we ventured out! We loved the outdoor area and even took a nap on the sofa! We took numerous dips in the hot tub and grilled out! We loved the tree-lighted areas indoors and very detail has been thought out! Thank you for a wonderful getaway and would definitely recommend to others! Loved tubing with Brevard Tubing .3 miles away! Hiked to waterfalls in DuPont State Park. Well worth it! Beautiful! Walked in downtown Brevard to shop. A must!

Unique Barn on an organic farm
This place is heaven on earth. So idyllic, quiet, lots of hiking. The house itself is cozy and well stocked. Kevin and Linda are wonderful hosts.

Twin Creeks Retreat, a Mtn home away from home
Great place to stay, Deborah had good communication! Beds were comfortable and great location for outdoor activities near by. Canton within 15 min drive, everything you would want: grocrey, restaurants and good coffee shop!

Creek Side Cabin
The house was great and had the most well stocked kitchen I’ve ever had at an Airbnb. The property was beautiful with plenty to explore with the kids. And it’s close to Asheville and the surrounding communities if you want to go out to dinner and explore.

Mountain Getaway | Pools, Trails & More!
It was a great peaceful Escape for the weekend. The hosts were very communicative and the place was very clean.

Lakefront golf Villa at Lake Lure Rumbling Bald
I can only rate Andrea on her communication. Unfortunately we were scheduled to come the same time Hurricane Helene made her presence. Andrea kept us up to date on weather conditions throughout storm. Unfortunately we were unable to get there to see the home ourselves, but I would definitely book again with Andrea just based on her communication. I hope that they did not endure too much damage, but unfortunate Lake Lure has a lot to recover from.

Lake Fairfield Hideaway LOCATION, VIEWS PRICE
We enjoyed our stay at Kim's place. It was very convenient to our son's wedding venue on Lake Fairfield. The area is so beautiful and Kim's place was very clean, well appointed and updated. It was easy to find and easy to access per the directions. Kim was always responsive to any questions I had and the clear communication was appreciated. We would definitely book again.

Mill House Lodge King Creek Falls Condo
We had a great time! My kids loved going on the canoe in the pond. We also loved going to the pool after a day out apple picking and hiking. The mornings are also peaceful sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee listening to the waterfall.

Rumbling Bald Lakefront 4 Bed/4 Bath Condo on Lake
We enjoyed our stay. Kathleen was very helpful. Thank you

Boats Studio Lakeview | Balcony | Pool
We love this area and the setting is extremely relaxing, so it is always our go-to place when we head out to Flat Rock for meetings.

Bear Lake Reserve * Top-Rated Condo * Lake Views
We booked last minute and by that, a day and a half before we arrived. Darlene responded within minutes and made arrival so easy with perfect directions/information. Darlene checked in with us during our visit and with the welcome packet Darlene sent us, I had minimal if any questions. The place exceeded our expectations and was so very close to the club and all the amenities. View was beyond! The only negative was we never saw a bear. 😂 We will be back!
