Pet-friendly vacation rentals in McDowell County

Very Beautiful home with awesome views. We loved the large kitchen, back porch and hot tub! Everything we hoped for. Robert was very helpful and very prompt with responses. Will definitely be staying there again when we are in the area.

Sarah's place is lovely and quiet, overlooking the golf course and a view of the mountains. The neighbors were delightful, which added to the charm of our stay. The place was comfortable and spacious. Great to have the extra room and bath on the lower level, which makes it even more private. If you're looking for a place in the mountains near a lake, would recommend.

We had a great weekend stay at the cottage. It is an adorable little old house nestled in the mountains. The house was very clean and looked just like the pictures. There were a lot of little thoughtful touches. We all loved the kitchen, especially.

We were in town to race Hellbender 100 in Old Fort and really enjoyed how close it was to the mountains. Lots of space and comfortable beds. The hot tub was awesome and we loved the fire pit as well. Would definitely come back!

Fantastic place to stay! Me and my grew are repeat guests after the first stay! We do storm work and have a crew of drivers, and the place suits us perfect. Very thankful for the fanatic response host. Dawn is phenomenal and she wants to see to it that we are all taken care of.

It was perfect for us. We wanted to be close to Wiseman’s View and this was a beautiful 30 minute drive there. Our kids loved it too. We would definitely stay again.

This house was wonderful. The host was very responsive and welcoming. The setting is beautiful. Our dog loved the fenced in yard and my wife and I loved the welcoming living room and spacious kitchen. We will definitely be back.

My family and I recently stayed at Corinne’s place for Christmas as my mom lives nearby. It was a perfect Airbnb for us - absolutely beautiful house and views, plenty of space, kitchen and laundry were ideal. We did not use the sauna or the downstairs but they looked great too. Internet was fast and beds were comfy too. We hope to stay again when visiting family!

We felt right at home as soon as we checked in. The cabin was exactly as described... beautifully decorated, clean and had eveything we needed to enjoy our stay. We will be returning!

Overall, the stay at Blind place was great! House was clean, location was great, and Blin was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The hike down to the water is challenging and accurately portrayed in the listing. Be prepared for a steep ascent when you’re done on the water.

Our family of 7 had a wonderful stay! The cabin was very clean and looked like new. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in the area.

This place was absolutely perfect!! Exactly as described. Very clean and clutter free!

Our stay at TRR was a great experience. The place was spacious, very clean, nicely decorated, and conveniently located to downtown. The amenities were super… big refrigerator, covered carport at the door, puffy soft bath towels, gas fireplace, large bathroom, and many personal touches that made us feel at home. Thank you Ashley, and we look forward to returning next year!

Absolutely, amazing place. Very quiet and a beautiful cabin overal.

This was our first time to Lake James and we are definitely coming back! The house was absolutely beautiful and perfect for our needs. It was very clean and had everything in great supply. Like others have written, the house is bigger than the pics let on. Susan was proactive with making sure we had the address, codes, etc before we arrived and very responsive if we had a question. All in all, it was a great time with the family!

Nicole's place is very quiet, peaceful and serene. Neighbors we nice and friendly. We felt right at home. Plenty of things to keep kids busy.

We stayed at Bill’s cabin for 3 nights and had a great time. The cabin was well equipped with anything you may need. He even had extra items such as flashlights, umbrellas, camping chairs etc available for guests to use. The movie room was super cool and very well thought out, it even had a popcorn machine! The cabin was only a short drive from lots of hiking trails and the Linville gorge. Bill even shared some local places for us to visit and we really enjoyed them. Definitely recommend staying here!

I cant stress enough how amazing this cabin is for families. It was our second time and we always enjoy the outside time, the waterfalls, the views and just the quiet! Its amazing. Super responsive host and kitchen is stocked with a lot of what you already need! We brought our three littles and just brought a little babygate for the stairs. They take such good care if your fur babies as well. Looooots of carpenter bees and wasps but you can expect that because its the woods. The wasps dont bother you but the bees sometimes choose violence 😂Book this place now!! You will jot regret the entire experience…oh and the jacuzziiiiii….chefs kiss

Beautiful area, quiet, peaceful, and inviting to be still. House was very clean and cozy. It felt like we were in the “cottage in the woods”. My sister and I enjoyed our stay. She even said why don’t we see if we could stay a few days longer. Planning on returning.

We had an amazing stay at the lake house! The property was spotless and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to prepare our meals. The highlight of the stay was definitely the lake—perfect for swimming, relaxing, and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The combination of a clean and comfortable home with the natural beauty of the lake made for a wonderful getaway.

Lovely and comfortable house. We enjoyed our stay.

Host was very quick to respond to any of our questions and concerns, and the home is very nice!

The pictures didn’t do the place justice. The view was beautiful. Firefly’s at night, birds in the morning, sunshine on both porches. Peacefully quiet! The space was perfect for our family and the kitchen was equipped for our cooking needs. Stayed cool during the day and warm in the evenings. We loved the cabin and Christy was quick to respond to any questions!

Great place for a glamping experience! We built a fire and slept in a comfortable bed. The outhouse was clean and the pigs were so cute. Would recommend for someone looking to camp, while sleeping inside on a bed without the hassle of the gear!
