Sail Away Suite
Karen was helpful in sending recommendations and communication regarding the impact of Helene on the area. Always answered questions and put us at ease. The suite was beautiful and the amenities were nice and the views were great. Instructions were helpful. I would highly recommend this suite

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!

Endless Water Views II - Walk to Town & AT!
It was great to be part of Hot Springs recovery after Hurricane Helene. There was a great spirit in the community. All businesses were very friendly and helpful. Especially enjoyed rafting down French Broad River with Hot Springs Rafting. Find them in the Main Street.

Krew’s Quarters-Lakefront Sleeps4 on South Holston
We enjoyed our stay! The space was very clean and the location was wonderful. The view from the deck was beautiful. Another plus is that we were able to pull our pontoon on the shore and leave it for the weekend. Kayla was a phenomenal host - very friendly, welcoming, helpful and responsive! Would recommend!

Central, Walkable, Stylish Apartment
We had a great stay with Jamie. The location is close to everything you’d want to experience in Boone. Jamie was proactive and sent access information and instructions ahead of time. Jamie checked in several times and was ready to answer any questions that popped up. We loved how cozy this spot felt. Perfect for a weekend getaway.

Water under the bridge
Great apartment! Once you walk up a flight of stairs, you follow the hallway to an open kitchen/living space. It was beautiful!!! There are two separate bedrooms. Comfortable!! The bathroom was clean. The location is great-close enough to activities and far enough away to enjoy the peacefulness.

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.

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.

Cozy Creekside Cottage in the High Country
We had an amazing stay here! It was clean and the area was beautiful. Everything was exactly as described. We saw deer in the yard and fish in the stream! It was super relaxing and perfect for a vacation.

Barn House on the Creeper Trail, open after Helene
Peaceful location and property

Charmer on Creeper & Creek! Walk downtown
Leila’s place was perfect for a weekend in Damascus. The location was super walkable to town and an easy drive to surrounding hikes, etc. We picked the place largely due to the fenced yard so we could bring our dog. The fence was super secure and our dog loved running around in the yard.

Granny's House
We loved our stay at Granny’s place! It was a cute little house with a bunch of nick nacks inside. The river in front of the house was so fun to play in! The host was super responsive and easy to work with. Thanks so much for letting us stay!

Riversong Retreat on the Virginia Creeper Trail
This was our fifth time at Riversong Retreat. The home and surroundings are beautiful with the river and Creeper Trail right in the backyard. David and Sharlene are lovely, helpful hosts. We are already looking forward to our next trip!

By a Mountain Stream! Creekside Comfort, Hot tub
My husband and I stayed for a month at the house and absolutely loved it. It was peaceful and beautiful with the music of a rushing streamf filling the house everyday when we opened up the French doors. It was refreshing to see that the house actually matched all of the photos and the amenities that were listed. It was great to have a grocery store and a restaurant within 15 minutes of the house. we loved it so much. we're going to come back again next year.

Ross's Retreat on Watauga Lake
This was our first Airbnb experience ever and I was so impressed. It was like a home away from home. The house was an charming 70's setting. Everything was perfect. Easy check in and out and host was very responsive. Will definitely book this stay again.

Lakefront Sunrise Deck w/ Boat Slip, Washer/Dryer
Renee's place was a gorgeous haven in Johnson City during our time at the National Storytelling Festival--the home away from home, with a stunning lake, exactly what we needed. Everything was exactly as advertised, only a 20 minute winding drive from Jonesborough, but you never wanted to leave when you saw the sun meet the horizon and reflect across that glassy water. Thanks so much, Renee, we had such a wonderful time revisiting Appalachia.

Chapel Cove Lake Condo
This home was perfect for a visit to the tri-cities area. It was so welcoming and every little detail was clearly carefully considered for the comfort of guests. Even the check-out requirements were exceedingly reasonable and not the least difficult or burdensome. This Boone Lake neighborhood is off the main road enough to feel secluded but close enough to make traveling to anywhere in the area convenient. We had a terrific, though short, visit and would definitely want to stay again on our next visit. One of the best Airbnb's we have visited - I would (and did to friends in the area) highly recommend.

Love the Serenity as Flattop Creek whistles below-
The condo is super cozy and suitable for a weekend getaway. We really enjoyed our stay here!

Charismatic Condo in the Cove
Spacious townhouse with plenty of the basic supplies. Beds are comfortable. Place is exactly as shown in the photos. We would stay here again.

Suite Escape@Sugar Mtn Resort - Walk to Ski|Tubing
Had a fantastic time and being with in walking distance of everything is very helpful especially during the high traffic times of the day.

4BR Villa Banner Elk on premiere Resort w/Amenties
My stay at the 4BR Villa in Banner Elk was absolutely delightful! The villa was spacious, beautifully furnished, and offered all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. It was the perfect getaway spot for relaxation and enjoying the beauty of the mountains. Would highly recommend it for families or groups looking for a luxurious and peaceful retreat!

Ski-in/out 2BR with amazing view overlooking lifts
Nice place in a superb location

Creekside 2min to slopes..quiet & private location
Shawn’s place was perfect for a place to stay while attending concert at Beech Mt. Has all the things you need for a great stay including an amazing back porch with a creek and a view. Communication was great and place was clean.
