Waterfront Lake Lure- No Kids! 21 mi to Biltmore
We had a wonderful time at Jennifer’s home. Her parents, Ed and Kay welcomed us and made us feel right at home. They provided wine and delicious snacks for us and also gave us passes to Rumbling Bald. The place is right on the lake and absolutely beautiful. The inside is much more beautiful than in the pictures, as it is tastefully decorated and good quality linens and towels were provided. They had every thing available that we could need, expensive toiletries and plenty of floats and kayaks. I can’t say i’ve ever stayed at an air bnb that was so thoughtfully appointed before. We will definitely be back.

Cozy Lakefront Apartment
Tammy was a wonderful host and very responsive. She even took it upon herself to contact us and let us know we could check in several hours early. Her place was spotless and everything looked practically new. The "house rules" were short, sensible and not burdensome in the least. The kayaks were great fun and a wonderful amenity. It's also a very convenient location to a lot of the area attractions. It's almost right on a section of the Palmetto Trail, which we were there to bike. She even allowed us to store our bikes in the downstairs mud room, which was perfect to keep them secure and out of the way. The surround sound system was a cool amenity as was the huge shower with the multiple shower heads. Great getaway!

Lake Life Upper Apt-2 min walk to Lk Junaluska ASM
Carolyn was a very attentive host, her response time was very quick and she was very accommodating! I enjoyed her place as it was very cozy and such a relaxing atmosphere. There was lots to do in the area as far as outdoor activities and the nearby town was gorgeous. Highly enjoyed my stay, and I highly recommend!

Endless Water Views - Walk to Town & AT!
A most beautiful view and such spacious lodging. I would sleep with the window open and fall asleep to the sound of the river. I was amazed to find out how much history was behind this property. Monisha has a book detailing history and places to go. We did go to the mineral bath which was a restorative experience. I appreciate Monisha advising us to book in advance. I highly recommend this property. A home away from home. 😊 Any questions I had Monisha promptly answered.

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.

Lakefront Condo Flat Rock N.C.
Overall a really beautiful and peaceful spot that checked all the boxes for what I needed for the week. Super comfy and cozy. Had a really lovely stay, and Paul was super responsive. Definitely will be looking to book here again when I return to the area in the future!

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.

Casa Paz: Creekside Oasis in the Smoky Mountains
My husband and I were so happy with our stay at Judy and Maria’s tranquil home. Everything from the creek to the hot tub and relaxing living space were perfect. My husband enjoyed fishing in such a great spot, and I enjoyed watching the ducks with their little ducklings, and the hummingbirds that visited often. 😊 We spent plenty of time relaxing, but also enjoyed the close proximity to good restaurants and shopping, and hiking. Casa Paz is in such a convenient and beautiful location. For good food we recommend Chef’s Table and Haywood Smokehouse in Waynesville, and Twisted Spoke in Maggie Valley. The place was very easy to find and Judy and Maria were very responsive with any question we had while we were there. Highly recommend a stay here!!

Bright, modern studio- 10 mins to dwntwn & RAD
This is our 2nd year staying here for the RAD half marathon. Everything was perfect! The apartment is so clean, has a beautiful and peaceful outdoor setting and fully stocked bathroom. It is so nice and quiet! We will definitely be back!

The Green River Ranch
Green River Ranch was just what we hoped for: rustic, charming, quiet, pet-friendly and very clean. The direct access to the Green River was fun. We spent one afternoon sitting in beach chairs, chatting with all of the kayakers and tubers who floated past us. Our dog loved romping in the field. The central air conditioner was great -- kept us cool during our late-July stay.

Lake View & Easy Access to Town on Quiet Street
Perfect getaway with peace and quiet, dog loved it too. Walkable to Black Mountain with shopping, restaurants and music venues.

Creek Side Mountain Retreat
This was a lovely place and exactly what I wanted!! The dog door and fenced in area was enough to convince my boyfriend that he needs to install one at his place. The view on the deck was incredibly peaceful! John was super friendly and helped with anything we needed. I worked “remotely” while I was there and no issues with the Wi-Fi! There were lots of nice little touches in the house and the bed was comfortable. Thank you!

Unique Barn on an organic farm
This place is heaven on earth. So idyllic, quiet, lots of hiking. The house itself is cozy and well stocked. Kevin and Linda are wonderful hosts.

Twin Creeks Retreat, a Mtn home away from home
Very peaceful location with the sound of the creek in the background. The house is cozy and Deborah quickly responded to messages. Easy checkout process!

Waterfront River Home near Asheville, pet friendly
A peaceful location for a getaway & a perfect home-base for all the outdoor attractions nearby. We loved being able to experience the river & wildlife right in the backyard(the sunroom & primary bedroom with the windows/door open is sooo relaxing). The house is comfortably cozy, with plenty of outdoor space to enjoy here as well- nice private front & back yards with big porches, plenty of seating/dining, a fire pit, & of course the gorgeous river. It was difficult to actually get down to the water without having to climb down the bank on fairly steep & unstable rocks(which I believe may be a new, unfortunate development since Helene). That was a bit of a bummer as it would have been nice to be able to get in the river, it just felt too shifty for my peace of mind(or maybe I’m a chicken?lol). Jennifer was a thoughtful & attentive host who was very accommodating to our needs & requests, & we loved being able to bring our pups along for the trip! I would definitely stay here again!

"Creekside Getaway-1.5 miles to downtown Brevard".
This little home was cozy and very clean. The creek was very relaxing. The Keurig was definitely an added bonus! I would definitely stay here again and I would recommend this Airbnb

Creek Side Cabin
The house was great and had the most well stocked kitchen I’ve ever had at an Airbnb. The property was beautiful with plenty to explore with the kids. And it’s close to Asheville and the surrounding communities if you want to go out to dinner and explore.

Mountain Getaway | Pools, Trails & More!
It was a great peaceful Escape for the weekend. The hosts were very communicative and the place was very clean.

Lakefront golf Villa at Lake Lure Rumbling Bald
I can only rate Andrea on her communication. Unfortunately we were scheduled to come the same time Hurricane Helene made her presence. Andrea kept us up to date on weather conditions throughout storm. Unfortunately we were unable to get there to see the home ourselves, but I would definitely book again with Andrea just based on her communication. I hope that they did not endure too much damage, but unfortunate Lake Lure has a lot to recover from.

Lake Fairfield Hideaway LOCATION, VIEWS PRICE
We enjoyed our stay at Kim's place. It was very convenient to our son's wedding venue on Lake Fairfield. The area is so beautiful and Kim's place was very clean, well appointed and updated. It was easy to find and easy to access per the directions. Kim was always responsive to any questions I had and the clear communication was appreciated. We would definitely book again.

Mill House Lodge King Creek Falls Condo
We had a great time! My kids loved going on the canoe in the pond. We also loved going to the pool after a day out apple picking and hiking. The mornings are also peaceful sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee listening to the waterfall.

Rumbling Bald Lakefront 4 Bed/4 Bath Condo on Lake
We enjoyed our stay. Kathleen was very helpful. Thank you

Boats Studio Lakeview | Balcony | Pool
We love this area and the setting is extremely relaxing, so it is always our go-to place when we head out to Flat Rock for meetings.

Bear Lake Reserve * Top-Rated Condo * Lake Views
We booked last minute and by that, a day and a half before we arrived. Darlene responded within minutes and made arrival so easy with perfect directions/information. Darlene checked in with us during our visit and with the welcome packet Darlene sent us, I had minimal if any questions. The place exceeded our expectations and was so very close to the club and all the amenities. View was beyond! The only negative was we never saw a bear. 😂 We will be back!
