Vacation rentals in North Carolina

We visit our son and DIL who live nearby, and know we would love to book this home in the future. Michael took a chance on us, allowing me to host a family dinner in honor of a special family occasion. It was magical. The back porch lends itself to gatherings with friends and family. I loved sitting on the front porch overlooking the pond with my coffee watching the various birds, including hummingbirds. The house was well-appointed, comfortable and stocked with necessities. The shower in the master bathroom was total LUX! Mainly, Michael was one of the most responsive and enthusiastic hosts I’ve worked with in my many years of staying at AirbnB’s. Thank you so much!

My stay at Lauren's farm was just what I needed...a peaceful place to get away to as I prepare for a job change. The farm is beautiful. The trails throughout the property were great for an afternoon run. And the close proximity to downtown Waxhaw allowed for great dining options. I'll definitely be back!

We didn’t want to leave! The Albermarle Sound views don’t get any better than this! With the home’s back deck facing due North, both the sun rises and sunsets were completely visible and amazing! We loved opening the back door and listening to the lapping waves as we relaxed in the cozy chaise lounge and big leather couch. The open floor plan allows for water views throughout the entire main living space. The furniture is super comfy, and the decor is wonderfully eclectic! The kitchen was well stocked with every cooking utensil you need. The friendly neighborhood is very walkable. One word of caution: the front door opens to the master bathroom and bedroom. If vacationing here with anyone other than your significant other, you would want to make arrangements/have an understanding that the individuals staying in the 2nd bedroom would enter through the back door. We would definitely stay here again!

Super nice and comfortable beach cottage. Great views of the ocean. We were there on weekdays so the beach access next door was hardly used and not an issue. The only negatives we experienced were: - the ocean side porch is not covered, so no relief from the sun unless you go inside. - large bush to the west of the driveway makes visibility very difficult and unsafe to back out onto the road. Need to back into driveway (difficult with busy 2-lane road) or do a 3- point turn to get out.

We loved everything about the home and location. The pool table and river brought a lot of laughs and memories made. The hosts were helpful and very responsive. We had an amazing time and thankful for the opportunity to stay in this beautiful home.

Staying at Mill Creek Cottage was much like visiting a beloved friend’s house. We’ve stayed in some Airbnbs that were almost antiseptic and boring. Not Joan’s place! It was wonderful and quirky and comfortable - and had absolutely everything we needed. We spent five days hiking, grilling out, playing games, and just sitting on the deck watching the birds and enjoying the mountain air. If we ever head back to Hayesville I will check to see if this cottage is available!

This was our 1st visit to NC. The impeccable house & secluded surroundings were absolutely beautiful. All the amenities of home & so cozy. Loved sitting on the front porch. We'll definitely stay here again if we ever return to NC.

We were impressed with how clean this home was and very much appreciated it. The location was convenient to town. The host was very quick to respond to questions and even recommended a local garage for an issue with my car. The only thing that wasn’t ideal were barking dogs at bedtime a couple nights but that isn’t the home owners fault, just mentioning for people that might be bothered by it, don’t know if the dogs belonged to a local or if they belonged to other travelers who rented nearby.

I can't say enough good things about our stay at the 17 Degrees North Mountain Cabin. Everything was just as described and shown in the pictures, perhaps even more beautiful. It's difficult to capture in pictures the sheer size and scope of the mountainous landscape and peaceful sounds of the various birds, livestock, and river. We loved our little romantic getaway along with our dogs, and the fenced area was a massive plus for us. Horses graze right in front near sundown. Fireflies illuminate the fields at night as if the countryside is shimmering. Low-light pollution offers great views of the night sky and stars, especially from the hammock. Catherine was an exceptional host: friendly, responsive, detailed, and very knowledgeable while on the tour she offered, which I suggest you take her up on. I would absolutely recommend this stay. We booked our return trip before the current one had even ended.

Words can’t begin to describe these incredible and amazing people. My husband and I were at Chimney Rock celebrating our honeymoon at Brett and Pam’s place when Hurricane Helene hit. Unprecedented isn’t the right word, but all I can think of. This cabin was literally our shelter from the storm and Pam and Brett were there for us every moment as they were going through their own devastation. The people of Chimney Rock are the most special community you will ever meet. We will do everything we can to support them and will be back as they begin to rebuild. We were just visitors as the whole town went through a catastrophic event, but feel forever connected to and invested in the town of Chimney Rock. Brett and Pam, thank you for opening your beautiful home to us, and for creating a sense of safety, community, and care. You are forever friends and will forever be a part of our lives.

Property was nice and quiet and very secluded. Had trails to walk and could get right in the water out the back door. Definitely will be back in the future.

My mom and I truly enjoyed our stay at Quartermoon Cabin. From the moment we arrived, it felt like we were transported to a mystical retreat straight out of the '70s. The atmosphere was peaceful, relaxing, and full of charm. You can really feel the love and care that Jessie and her family have put into this space—every detail in the decor, along with their personal artwork, adds to the cabin’s magical and welcoming vibe. It’s clear this is more than just a rental; it’s a labor of love. We can’t wait to come back.

We absolutely loved staying at Rivers Edge! Cutest little cabin with the best view! We got to see a fox across the river looking for some food and a family of deer crossing the river this morning before we left! Cabin was stocked with everything you need and the cleanest Airbnb we have ever stayed in! We will be back and refer all our friends to stay at this mountain paradise!

My brother and I stayed here for a night in-between us doing a bunch of adventurous things in the smoky mountains. The place is gorgeous, and was super clean and stocked up when we arrived. there were so many thoughtful touches that we noticed upon checking-in, like a guidebook filled with all the local recommendations/how to use the amenities, towels and robes for the hot tub/sauna, and, my perfonal favorite, a smores kit for the campfire! Another thing to note is the stunning views this place has! Waking up in the lift gives you the most breathtaking view of the smoky mountains. As well as when you relax in the hot tub you can look out into nature and relax in the serenity and take in the view. Krista was an amazing host and was so friendly and proactive about check-in and check-out. We will definitely be staying here again if we are ever in the area! And if you love nature, stunning views, a clean, comfortable, and cozy place to stay, then look no further than Krista's A-frame!

The home was lovely, charming, and full of character. The amenities were on point and included everything you could need for a restful stay. The location was perfect- nestled in the trees with privacy. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and hope to go back again!

Our stay here was absolutely lovely! The location right next to the creek was so peaceful and we fell asleep to the water noises, which was so relaxing! The hot tub was truly divine and a wonderful way to end the night! We have already booked our next stay at this lovely property!

The Magnolia is such a beautiful location to stay, and I could not recommend it enough! Anna was super responsive with places to visit and other communications which helped ease us into our stay. The location is private and tucked away beautifully so you can enjoy both time in and Hillsborough. It has everything you need for two people to comfortably enjoy. The bed was comfortable with plenty of extra blankets and everything to feel cozy. We were thankful for the outdoor rocking chairs to enjoy our coffee and watch the rain. Would hands down stay here again and recommend to anyone wanting a private getaway. Thank you for such a lovely stay! 🌳

My wife and I stayed here for our one year wedding anniversary and it was absolutely amazing. It was just the little get away that we needed! Perfectly tucked away with no distractions. The light up board walk is the perfect touch. We loved that there was no tv or extra distractions, the perfect little place to just be in the moment at all times. The card games were a super fun touch and a nice way to end the evening before bed.

This is a beautiful space that is well decorated. We took advantage of the sauna and the hot tub. My wife loved the towels and the bed was very comfortable. If we ever visit the outer Banks again, we would definitely rebook this property.

We wanted to be away from the city and spend time celebrating our 1year anniversary. Gigi's was the perfect getaway. Only a 30min drive from the city and we felt so far away. Beautiful decor inside and out!

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary and they made it so special for us. They were very thoughtful to make it cozy for us and decorated the place specifically for our anniversary. The treehouse is beautiful and a unique place. Hendersonville is a beautiful little town with great food and hiking trials.

If you look at the photos and read all of Catherine's messages (she sends a lot of emails with helpful information and even a video on how to work the wood-powered hot tub) then you will be ready to know everything about this beautiful place. She goes above and beyond to welcome you and make it a true retreat from the world. This is a bit nicer (i.e. higher rate) than AirBNBs that I sometimes get on a family vacation but it was a great treat for my husband and I for a romantic getaway- worth it!

This place exceeded our expectations! It looked just as the pictures. The cabin was peaceful, beautiful, and extremely cozy. I would recommend this as a top place to stay!

Lori and her family's property is a beautiful space tucked away in nature. If you are looking for a peaceful and romantic place to stay then this is the spot for you! We highly recommend and would absolutely stay here again.
