Mountain House Rental at the Lake

LorenRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had a wonderful time at this lake house. Plenty of room for my family of five to spread out and relax and such a beautiful setting. The house had everything we needed to just relax and spend time there. The kitchen was very well stocked with equipment. My sons loved fishing in the lake and we all enjoyed sitting around to bonfire at night. It was wonderful. Next time we will stay for longer!

Aframe Amazing Views Hot Tub Dog & Family Friendly

LaurenRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Our family felt right at home at Michael's A-frame. My husband commented that it felt as though we had stayed there before, and it really had. It has every amenity and creature comfort you could want or need, including a nicely stocked spice cabinet, plenty of linens, board games and puzzles, and a place to do laundry. Michael was friendly and helpful. Our family had an awesome time, and we hope to be back to enjoy the property in the summer months!

Amazing Lakefront home with private NEW dock

AngelicaRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Absolutely perfect. We stayed for the week with our five kids (6,4,3, & 1 year old twins) and had an amazing family vacation. The space worked perfectly for our needs as a large family with small kids and the beach area was especially perfect for toddler playtime. The waterfall across the way was stunning and we loved boating around, fishing, swimming, fires by the lake, and rainy evenings in the hot tub. Such an amazing place for families!

Awesome Lake House [New]

RhondaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Home away from home! The house was clean and everything you could need in the kitchen. It was like a relaxing step back in time. The view and the lake was amazing. The drive way is steep but very doable as it is a pull through. Hank and Joanna were awesome host. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your Lake house.

Lake Watauga & Mtn Views - Hot Tub & Dock

KylaRating, 5 stars1 day ago
This home was beautiful, with a beautiful view. We really enjoyed our stayed here. The house had all the essentials needed. Paul also has a binder put together of all the local things to do or places to go. It was very helpful. The dock is a quick drive down the road (2 mins). We had very spotty service in the area but we didn’t mind.

Lakefront Family Fun, New Gazebo, Toys Included!

DebbieRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Loch Norm Lair is beautiful and relaxing. Great neighborhood. Just the peaceful week we needed. Rick and Judy are extremely friendly. Rick loves to share his boat and will take you for a ride. We sat and talked with them on several occasions and shared a dinner at a restaurant. The place is well cared for and a great deal, very reasonable pricing. It was a shame the sailboat wasn't working, would have loved a ride. We are already talking about a return trip in warmer weather to fully enjoy the water. Thank you so much for the beautiful week.

Little River Escape in the Smokies!

RachelRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The place was beautiful and clean and all the my toddler and I needed. He loved steeping into the River outside the INN. We watched Blippi, handyman Hal and Katie’s Classroom inside the pub connected to where we stayed. Everyone was friendly and it’s bike friendly. We rode the 11mile Cades Cove loop on bike and we went to Tuckaleechee Caverns and it was truly a magical stay and media Teton for us.

Pirate Cove - Lakefront on Norris Lake w/ dock

JohnRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Dawn and her husband were the perfect hosts. Very friendly and helpful, and we felt absolutely at home the entire time. The place is as described and with an outstanding deck and view of the lake. The Labrador Retrievers, Toby and Willy, greeted us every morning and became instant friends for our Labrador. We plan to return for another visit when we can take full advantage of boating and fishing on Norris Lake. One of our best Airbnb experiences and we can't give a higher recommendation for our hosts.

The modern farmhouse Apartment

KatherineRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had the pleasure of staying at Melodie’s apartment while in town for a wedding. It was perfect for our family of 4. Our girls loved having their own bunk beds and the King Bed was very comfortable. Everything we wanted or needed was provided. Melodie was so gracious and very responsive. I only wish we had more time to spend at the place enjoying how beautiful and peaceful it all is. This couldn’t be located in a better area. Loved waking up to seeing the mountains and rolling hills. What a wonderful trip and we’ll be back!

Lake View House 2.8 Miles to Downtown

JanetRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We are return guests who love staying at this Airbnb! It is an entire second floor of a house with its own private entrance. We enjoy looking out the big front window at the lake, which our dog eagerly is walked around morning and evening. The back screened in porch overlooking the trees is so calming. Great shower, comfortable bed, there is nothing the hosts haven’t thought of to make your stay memorable. It is 10-15 minutes from downtown but near lots of good restaurants that are very close. We hope to stay again when we visit Asheville. Thank you Staci!

Waterfront 3 bedroom cottage in the woods.

KaylaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We spent Easter weekend here. As we drove in the wild azaleas and dogwoods were blooming, and everything afterwards was just as beautiful and peaceful. My teenagers loved kayaking and my daughter liked the pond so well she slept on the daybed on the porch. I appreciated the feather pillows and reverse osmosis water. Attention has been paid to every detail. I called my Nana to show her the antique desks. My small children enjoyed the toys and my middle son using the pully bucket on the porch. My daughter celebrated a birthday over our stay, more movie guests showed up than expected and I just couldn't turn these kids away. Our hosts were so kind. They of course charged a little extra as was clearly understood via the contract, they were very understanding and polite. The lock to the boat seems to be jamed, the downstairs fireplace is currently non operational, and I'm not sure I'll get back a thumb drive I forgot, but this family has worked hard to create really special place.

Updated Lakefront @ The Fox Cottage

ElizabethRating, 5 stars2 days ago
Amazing location! Beautiful home and views. Very relaxing too. Our first time in SC. Our family of 6 enjoyed our stay. Located only a few minutes from anything we needed or wanted to do. Our 2 teenage girls really liked the loft room with their own couch and TV. I’m glad we found Ebenezer park just a half a mile away for our little ones to play on a playground. I had asked about a crock pot being there and Jessica made sure there was. I’m a big coffee drinker so the different options and complimentary k-cups were wonderful! We had 1 issue with one of the TVs and Daniel was very quick to respond and help us get it resolved. We would love to book again if we ever make it back down to Rock Hill!
