Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Chatuge Lake

Beautiful home overlooking the lake and close to town or the marina. Well stocked for cooking. We loved the wrap around porch with table…we spent a lot of time on the screened in deck. Private location but plenty of space to walk dogs and easy to get into town . We will be back!

Great cabin super close to downtown Highlands. Looks just as great as the photos, perfectly clean, very nicely appointed and furnished. This was a much better situation for our family over a local hotel. We would definitely come back!!

We enjoyed a relaxing 3 night stay in Bobby and Dina’s beautiful, river house and they were the perfect hosts! They were very responsive to questions and even offered area suggestions including a wonderful local butcher, for our BBQ night on the deck, listening to the peaceful sounds of the river. This home had everything we needed to prepare meals, very clean and tastefully decorated. We highly recommend this home for your trip to the Murphy area and would love to return when we have more time to fish & kayak!

Mario's place is a true mountain hideaway. Rustic and comfy with enough bathrooms for a large family. Big living room to gather in, and spacey enough to get some time to yourself if needed. The place is well-stocked and clean. The vibe is clutter free and relaxed, homey and spacious. Woodsy with lots of birdsong and no neighbors within sight of the house except way down the mountain far away. There wasn't really anything we needed that we didn't find...extra blankets and pillows, toilet paper, paper towels, shampoo, etc. There was even a chalk marker to mark our initials on our water bottles. Really can't say enough great things about this stay, and don't have anything negative to say. Mario is an excellent host and really flexible, with very few rules other than to respect his property. Highly recommend all the way around!

Beautiful, amazing and perfect for a getaway with friends or romantic stay. Architecturally stunning. Great example of mid-century modern with lots of cut outs, glass and details. Not for the mobile challenged (stairs and a bit of a walk from the car parking) and lots of glass (you give some privacy with other house mates) so if that is not your thing, I wouldn't recommend it. Very quiet except when you open the doors to the waterfall. First day, some water cascading over but after a rain it was all white and mesmerizing. Beds are small but very comfortable. I was able to cook some great meals and they had a lot of items you don't always have, like aluminum foil. Took the hosts recommendation for a vineyard (distillery was the highlight) and a stop in Toccoa, GA. Just book it and enjoy.

Usually when you stay at an Airbnb, you get what you pay for but here we got a very unexpected and never before experienced stay. Every single detail was so thoughtful and so generous, and it made our time an absolute blessing. Joan and clay are such a joy to talk with and they have gone far above and beyond any other place to make sure we had everything we could want or need. Truly felt like they were family and enjoyed our stay so so much. Will be back soon.

We had a wonderful stay here! Our visit was to attend our friends’ wedding at The Retreat at Hiawassee River (6 minute drive), but we were also able to easily get to Hiawassee and Helen throughout our stay. So, the location is incredible! This cabin was cozy and welcoming. The kitchen was so awesome and while we didn’t cook anything, we appreciated having a coffee maker and large fridge for all our snacks. The hot tub was divine and was the perfect way to relax in between wedding festivities. The bed was very comfy, too! If you’re someone who likes to unpack when you arrive, please note that there aren’t any dressers or chests of drawers. But the closets are great, and there are luggage racks that can hold relatively large suitcases! Overall, we loved our stay and would definitely recommend it (and our host) to anyone thinking of visiting!

Really enjoyed staying at this Lake Chatuge home. On a secluded part of the lake with beautiful views. Highly recommended.

Would definitely recommend this cabin. Super convenient to Helen, easy access, not too far up the slopes, and easy exit with the lower driveway. This is not a luxury cabin. It is compact and enough for a couple and a pet. But the value for the stay is spot on, Roy is super awesome, and I would stay again.

It was an easy walk to downtown, but still felt like you were away enough from the downtown. We enjoyed sitting at the river reading with our books and having a fire. She left us some sweet treats and firewood. Very relaxing and enjoyable. Highly reccommend

Don and the rental were fantastic. I can only wish that every Air BnB was done this well. Water on every table. The bathroom had everything you might have forgotten. The fridge had soda and water in it. Even had a Smores setup for the firepit outside. I will be back here regularly and Don's place will always be my first choice. Dons hospitality was world class. It is very hard to find genuine hospitality and Don hit it off the mountain.

This cute little downstairs apartment was perfect for our anniversary trip! It’s a great space for two people to relax and enjoy each other’s company. We spent our mornings on the porch swing drinking coffee and at night would head into town to eat at the recommended restaurants. The place was cute, homey, and had amazing views of the mountains!

The resort is lovely! It’s a nice get away. Just keep in mind cell service is limited in this area! It’s beautiful. 😍

Loved Russ’s place cozy, private and close to everything. Russ was very friendly ma responsive. I would stay here again for sure .

It's a great place. Clean on the inside. you can leave and walk anywhere you want it's close to everything. l would stay there again.

The place was honestly a bit smaller than I had expected, but it was my first time ever renting Airbnb so I didn’t even read descriptions before renting, so that’s on me. Everything felt pretty comfy and my favorite part was definitely the sound of the river at night, gives an extremely peaceful vibe to the stay. It’s also a great location to find waterfalls for those wanting to hike. Excellent location, would definitely rent again.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay! The cabin was great. It was clean and comfortable. The hot tub was awesome. There were some games there and books. The beds were a little firm, but that is not an issue for me. They are memory foam mattresses and not inner spring mattresses which I greatly appreciate. There were starter packs of things to get us going (soap, DW soap, laundry detergent, etc). The TV is only connected to direct TV. So no streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, etc. Little to no wifi signal at the cabin. Had to go up to the entrance gate at the property to get wifi signal. But most importantly, the location was amazing! 2 min drive to the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, could even be walked. Same for downtown Bryson City, which is adjacent to the railroad station. Cute little downtown with lots of little shops. 15 min drive to Deep Creek for tubing and easy waterfall hike. 20min drive to the Nantahala Outdoor Center. 22 min drive to Dillsboro. So great location to hit lots of cool places. I would definitely stay here again!

Great place, good management, and reasonable prices. Barely interacted with the owners, which was ideal for my group. You are trusted to check in and out without supervision. The location is beautiful, and there are PLENTY of beds.

We highly enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking. We enjoyed the covered screened in porch, as it rained for much of our stay. The property is beautiful and in a great location. Damien is helpful and friendly and responded quickly. Overall this is one of the nicer Air Bnb's we have stayed in. We will definitely be back and stay at one of his properties in the future.

The Villa was located in a beautiful, gated community with lots to do: hiking, swimming, tennis, golf, pickle ball, etc. The decor upstairs was fun travel memorabilia, and downstairs in the bedrooms, it was serene and relaxing. The Villa was very comfy, and we felt right at home!

Location was great with easy walking distance to shops and restaurants.

I originally booked a different property with BCCR, but a representative contacted me the morning of my check-in to let me know the hot tub wasn’t working at that property. They gave me several alternative options to choose from that were available and had working hot tubs. I was not charged more for the switch even though the one I chose was slightly more expensive. My stay ended up being very pleasant despite it not going as planned, and I was impressed by BCCR’s prompt and helpful communication. The gifted bottle of champagne for NYE was also a nice touch. I would recommend BCCR and the Snuggle Inn to friends and family.

My family enjoyed a long, relaxing weekend at Craig's Encore at the end of Lake Nantahala. We have stayed in many places, and this home was truly exceptional with every detail considered. We enjoyed watching Lake Nantahala change throughout the day, paddled in the kayaks, swam, soaked in the hot tub, relaxed and had fun outings renting a boat one day and tubing down the Nantahala River the next. It was truly memorable, and the only drawback was the long drive in over gravel, but that's what makes it so peaceful and remote. The lake was never busy and such a big change from so many crowded and touristed spots. We hope we made a good impression and will be welcomed back. This is truly a loved and cherished family home, and we appreciate Craig sharing it with us.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolute Magic at Mountain Sol! Mountain Sol is pure mountain magic! We booked this incredible home to bring together cousins, siblings, and grandparents for a multi-generational family gathering, and it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived at the top of the mountain, we were blown away by the panoramic 360-degree views—sunrises with coffee, sunsets with wine, and stargazing by the fire left us speechless. The house itself is very spacious, beautifully designed, and thoughtfully equipped for large groups. Everyone had room to spread out and relax, but the cozy common areas made it easy to come together for meals, games, and late-night laughter. The kitchen had everything we needed (hello coffee bar!!!), and the outdoor spaces—porches, decks, and even a breathtaking fire pit spot—were perfect for soaking in the natural beauty. Bryson City was a joy to explore: charming shops, great restaurants, and easy access to hiking, rafting, and the Great Smoky Mount
