Cabin / Cottage in Franklin, The Rusty Nail
We had a lovely stay at The Rusty Nail. The cabin was clean, cozy and had everything we needed. We were fortunate enough to even have a early morning rain that sounded wonderful on the tin roof. It was a great weekend spot for my husband and I.

Highlands home close to town on Rhododendron Trail
Loved our stay! Traffic and road closures made us arrive after dark, so it was a little tricky finding the place—but the remoteness is part of its charm! The house was gorgeous and comfortable, and it had everything we needed. Any extra supplies we were able to purchase at the grocery store in town. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone! Thank you, Debbie, for being such a wonderful host!

Buttermilk Cottage, Highlands, NC
This was the perfect place for our girls trip. Less than a 5 min drive to the downtown area and super close to a lot of the waterfalls and hikes! We loved that there were plenty of outdoor seating options to choose from. If you’re looking for a beautifully decorated cozy spot that is close to everything Highlands has to offer, then look no further than here!

Huge Views, Outdoor Tub, Fire Pit, Close to Town!
Thank you Alice & Scott for sharing your beautiful home with us! It was just as pictured and I can't say enough about the spectacular views! Look forward to staying again.

Huntleigh House - Scenic Views
We were in the area with our kids for some music gigs, and Selena‘s place was in a great location for us! We played in several nearby towns, and Franklin as well, which is just a few minutes away. The scenery was absolutely beautiful with the Mountain View off of the deck, as well as the various goats and donkeys in the pasture right across the street. The house had everything we needed, and more! We felt right at home as soon as we walked in the door. We would highly recommend this listing to anyone! Thank you, Selena, for a wonderful stay!

Scotchland. Wood burning fireplace. 5 min to town
We absolutely loved our stay! The house was great for our family and such a great location. Hope to be back!

Twin Ponds: Intown Highlands, 5 min to Main st
This is the perfect house for a family mountain weekend. We had lots of room, a well stocked kitchen and laundry room. It was just minutes from downtown Highlands but felt very secluded and peaceful. We would love to return.

Barndominium in the Nantahala National Forest
Will be coming back to this space!! So beautiful, every detail and amenity was available and thought through. Felt right at home & was able to bring the pups! We forgot a water bowl & Lindsey had one ready for us when we got there with plenty of paw towels and doggie bags!! Also, expect a pretty steep driveway! We have a 4-WD and AWD vehicle and had little to no problems. Thank you to Lindsey for offering this amazing space !

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!

2 Bedroom Apartment overlooks WCU and Cullowhee NC
Don and the rental were fantastic. I can only wish that every Air BnB was done this well. Water on every table. The bathroom had everything you might have forgotten. The fridge had soda and water in it. Even had a Smores setup for the firepit outside. I will be back here regularly and Don's place will always be my first choice. Dons hospitality was world class. It is very hard to find genuine hospitality and Don hit it off the mountain.

Rooms With A View
Lynn's place was perfect for our family. The backyard is gorgeous and the view is truly incredible. Lynn went above and beyond as a host to make sure we had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again on our next visit to Asheville.

M&Ms hideaway
The property was conveniently located and easy to find, situated in a pleasantly rural neighborhood with minimal traffic and a welcome sense of isolation from the city. The accommodations offered a commendable level of privacy, and the room was generously spacious, more than sufficient for my needs. I particularly appreciated the serene and tranquil atmosphere, which greatly enhanced the quality of my stay. Overall, I highly recommend this Airbnb to others seeking a peaceful and comfortable retreat.

Mountain Getaway
I enjoyed staying at this quiet and peaceful place. It was neatly kept, clean, and comfortable. Dave and Barb were great, and I also enjoyed meeting Beans! Thank you for a wonderful place to stay during my trip.

Beautiful Cozy Mountain Retreat
The space was very spacious and clean. The back porch was so peaceful. Sandy was very friendly and helpful. We had everything we needed.

Walk to Main Street from this Hip Studio Apt
Super cute house. The house is walkable to main street that has tons of sweet local shops and restaurants. The house was clean and so cute. It was quaint and quiet and we felt right at home. Honestly we couldn’t have hoped for anything better

Squirrel Run Retreat
I really enjoyed my stay, it felt very homey. The bed is comfy, the area is peaceful and quiet. Owners are communicative. It was my first time, I would stay here again as I love visiting the Tallulah Gorge area. The cell signal is very good once arriving, there is no service on the short drive from town up the mountain.
Kid-friendly condo rentals

Home near the Sapphire River
The condo was exactly as described. It was very comfortable for our family of four. Well stocked kitchen, homey decorations. We especially loved the screen porches. Richard sent clear instructions for check in and check out. Overall, a very nice stay!

I had a wonderful stay! The space was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The host was communicative and welcoming, making check-in and check-out smooth and easy.

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!

Golden T's|Dog Friendly| Walk to Pool|Lake Access
We had a wonderful stay at "Golden Tee". The kids loved the loft, and the lake was so convenient. A little slice of heaven! Thanks!

Luxury Suite # 1 in Mt View Home
My family and I enjoyed our stay. The views from the house are incredible. It is very peaceful. The place was clean. Nina was very helpful and responsive when needed. We used the pool and hot tub, which was a short walk down the driveway. I highly recommend this place if you’re visiting the area!

Sapphire Valley Escape and view
We could not have been happier with our stay in Sapphire, NC! We had never been before and when looking for places to stay, the Patrick’s condo stuck out to us, not just in value, but in location and accommodation! The resort we were able to enjoy made the pricing well worth it. Absolutely loved the views, scenic surroundings, and peaceful atmosphere. We will be back!
