Luxury Waterfront Getaway In The Smoky Mountains.
A beautiful, peaceful place on the river. The porch was our favorite spot and the big windows viewing the river made us feel like there was no one else around. A wonderful stay inside and out!

Catamount River Retreat
This was such a beautiful place to stay while we were witnessing my daughter’s graduation from WCU. It was so spacious, clean, and had gorgeous views, all while being minutes away from the University. The host was so proactive with communication and instructions for check in and out. The place was SPOTLESS. It’s an unforgettable trip!

Highlands Lakefront Home 2 minutes from downtown!
Beautiful cottage on lake. Very peaceful and close to town. The home was clean with all amenities you would need. We so enjoyed sitting on the dock taking in the lovely surroundings. We look forward to booking in the future!

Winsome Guest house in Trillium-Cashiers/Highlands
The house was perfect for us. We were very comfortable there. We loved the fireplace and had a fire most nights. The enclosed porch was nice for our small dog that loved sitting out there looking for squirrels!

Entire cabin on Lake Sequoyah
My family of four really enjoyed staying at Todd's. There was plenty of space inside and nature surrounding the house, and it was close enough to the things we wanted to explore in Highlands as well as Cashiers.

Wanderlust Cottage
The house was well equipped and very clean and comfortable. Loved how close it was to downtown Cashiers. Jenn left a comprehensive list of hiking places as well as good restaurants. Love the space!

Cozy Mountain Cottage
The cottage sits above the lake in a mountain setting. Quite charming. The neighborhood is in a gated community and was super quiet. If you are visiting during the summer, we highly recommend using the lake-access docks for swimming and simply enjoying the beauty of the lake. It's a 2 minute drive to the bottom of the hill! What a peaceful place to hangout. The cottage is conveniently located between Cashiers and Highlands, so take advantage and visit both. We appreciated that there were no additional fees for our dog. He loved swimming in the lake. The bedrooms and bathroom are located on the second floor, so be aware if steps are an issue for you. Otherwise, it's a open and airy place to stay.

Entire 2 Story Lakefront Home with huge Dock!
Wonderful lake house! Very relaxing and just what we needed. The kids loved fishing from the dock and Jeremy was responsive when we message him.

Trinidad Cabin near the Lake
This place was perfect! Super comfy, especially the bed and super soft sheets! Loved the screened in porch view, being elevated, looking down at the lake, felt so naturesque and private!

Lake Chatuge Apt w/ Boat Dock in Hayesville!
What a beautiful and peaceful location on Lake Chatuge! The view is stunning and the place is so clean and comfortable. The bedroom is very spacious and the king size bed was so comfortable. Plenty of pillows and extra blankets too. We didn’t use the kitchenette but it is updated nicely. It’s a great little place to stay and visit the area!

Hummingbird Hill, A quiet place in the Woods
Our second stay at Debi's beautiful b&b was great! We're grateful for her and her space, sharing the nature and peace with us. Can't wait to return for a third time :)

11 Mi to Ski Sapphire: 'Heaven South' Apt w/ Porch
We enjoyed our 3-night stay. Good layout for a family of 3 or 4. Thank you for your availability to respond to questions and being a great host.

Tobago Cabin near The Lake
Cozy, clean cottage with a comfy bed. Stayed a week and enjoyed it, close to lake. Quiet area but you can hear footsteps from above since it’s a duplex.

Grace Cottage, on Lake Nantahala
We had a wonderful stay at the cottage! Lake Nantahala is absolutely beautiful and the cabin was wonderful for a quick getaway. The porch overlooking the lake is perfect for enjoying the fresh air and while the walk down to the lake is steep the steps and pathway made it really easy. The space was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. Our favorite part of cabin was sitting on the dock in the adirondack chairs! Would definitely recommend if looking in this area!

Hidden Cove Cottage on Chatuge Lake
My family rents a lake house every year and we all agreed this was our favorite one! The location was perfect- on a quiet part of the lake with a view of the mountains. The indoor and outdoor spaces were built for enjoying the lake and had everything we needed for a perfect lake getaway. Would definitely recommend and we can’t wait to go back!

Renovated in Highlands - 1M to downtown Highlands
Highlands, NC is a can’t-miss retreat. On top of that, the hidden bear cottage provided a peaceful, quiet, quaint stay. Staying nearly two weeks in the cottage provided much opportunity to utilize their fire pit, kitchen, hot showers, puzzles, neighborhood walks, etc. We would happily stay there again.

Cottage at Casuarina Lodge - Luxury, Pet Friendly
We will definitely be back. The hosts really care about your stay and make sure everything goes flawlessly.

Lake Glenville lakefront cottage
This was our second stay at Lake Song. The view is more beautiful than the pictures convey. It is 12 minutes to Cashiers for restaurants and shopping. Our favorite is Whiteside Brewery which is great for kids. Mandy makes you feel very welcome almost like you are staying at a close friends place. It is a very special place and we hope to return next summer.

Guest Suite apt with kitchenette Lake Glenville!
We had a great experience here! It was just the right place for our one night stay to go to a family wedding. Owner was very friendly and helpful!

Cozy Franklin Cottage w/ Waterfront Views!
Hands down, this was the best experience we’ve ever had at an Airbnb. The house was spotless and fully stocked with essentials for not only us, but our dog too (literally- they even had poop bags, treats, dog bowls, and a doggie bed). Kayaking on the Little Tennessee River was an absolute BLAST, and our dog loved running around in the fenced-in yard. Breweries, shops, and groceries are just a short drive away. We felt right and home and will 1,000% be repeat visitors.

Lake Front Cozy Cabin on Lake Chatuge
This little cottage is an absolute gem! It's in an easy to find location, right on Lake Chatuge with a gorgeous view in all directions. Michelle was very quick, easy, and helpful to communicate with and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. The place had everything we needed to cook and grill, with super comfy patio furniture. The dock was perfect for fishing & sunbathing. The fire pit area was gorgeous and a great place to relax in the evenings and watch the sunset. We will definitely be back for another stay and recommend this cottage for anyone wanting a lakeside getaway and break from the busy world.
