Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Cullowhee

What a beautiful and relaxing place to go. A true hikers treehouse to escape to and unwind.

We were in the area with our kids for some music gigs, and Selena‘s place was in a great location for us! We played in several nearby towns, and Franklin as well, which is just a few minutes away. The scenery was absolutely beautiful with the Mountain View off of the deck, as well as the various goats and donkeys in the pasture right across the street. The house had everything we needed, and more! We felt right at home as soon as we walked in the door. We would highly recommend this listing to anyone! Thank you, Selena, for a wonderful stay!

Joan's place had everything! I've stayed at over 65 Airbnbs and this was definitely in the top 3. if you have the luck of finding it's available, just book it!

Katherine was an amazing host. Always checking in with us and keeping us abreast of local happenings! The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to cook (spices, oils,coffee, teas, creamer). Nice little creek by the house. Would stay again.

Tina’s house was just a joy to stay in. It is clean, plenty of personal touches and thoughtful offerings were available to us if we forgot something or needed something. The setting was beautiful and very peaceful. The house was just right for our family of four. Everything is in working order and I really can’t say enough good things about this rental. We will certainly return if we get the chance. Thank you Tina and thank you to her team!

I already miss The High House! From the moment we arrived, it was clear this place was something special. The porch quickly became my favorite spot—I could have spent all day soaking in those breathtaking views. We were lucky enough to visit during firefly season, and watching the fireflies put on their magical show was truly unforgettable. Our evenings around the campfire, making s’mores, were such a treat. My 9-year-old boys loved exploring the property, making new friends with the host’s sweet and welcoming children, and discovering tortoises, baby kittens, and playful sheep along the way. The beds were super comfortable, and the location was perfect for all our adventures—whitewater rafting, zip lining, gem mining, and chasing waterfalls. One of the highlights was ordering baked goods and a dinner from our wonderful host, Sharon. It was hands down the best meal we had during our trip! Our stay was pure magic, and I can’t recommend The High House enough! Thanks for the memories!

The Barn was an absolute gem! My husband and I took my mother for a Memorial Day weekend getaway. The place is super easy to find and the roads in are all very drivable. No 4WD necessary. The back porch view is incredible and I can't imagine a better place for morning coffee. Melissa and her family stopped by to speak to us and they couldn't have been nicer. Check in was a breeze and the place is immaculately clean. If you rent this place, be sure to take advantage of the awesome fire pit! Thanks for a great time!

Christy’s home was exactly as depicted in the listing information and photos. Instructions were clear, the house was clean, kitchen is well equipped and the view was breathtaking. Christy was responsive and reached out multiple times to ensure our stay was pleasant and to offer local recommendations. The house is very close to many fast food restaurants, Walmart, Ingles, Best Buy and a few minutes away from downtown Waynesville. However, once you get to the house, you feel you are secluded. Would definitely recommend and would love stay at her beautiful home again.

This is my second time staying at this fantastic spot, and it was just as great as the first. They are wonderful hosts, the place is a real hidden gem, and the community has so much to offer. It certainly won't be my last time here!

Rebecca’s basement apartment was great. The space was well cleaned, spacious for my wife and I and as described in the description. There were nice little touches with s’more sticks for the outside fire pit, snacks on the counter, and water in the fridge. My wife particularly liked having the makeup removal wash cloth. The rental is in a great location. Just 2 blocks from Main Street and a short distance from Frog Level. I highly recommend staying in Rebecca’s rental.

This is at least my 3rd time visiting David's place. Amazingly peaceful, comfortable, restful spot. I knew I would get the peace I needed. You would never know they are upstairs, unless you wanted to chat. This is a mountainside gem.

I have lived in a lot of places over the past year while traveling for school, and this was the best of the bunch. Everything was great, including a clean comfortable space, available toiletries, efficient appliances, simple check in and out, amazing 10/10 mountain view.

Compact and all we needed!

Beautiful place. Hosts are nearby but you have all the privacy you could want. Beds very comfortable and the hot tub was wonderful after hiking. Location is great for Pisgah forest and Dupont. Close to Bervard and also Hendersonville. We will definitely stay again.

Maggie and Mike are wonderful, responsive, and attentive hosts! They made us feel so welcomed and were very helpful with recommendations for hiking and sightseeing in the area. Meeting them was such an added bonus to a great stay. The apartment was just as described and met all of our expectations. The property is gorgeous and so very peaceful and the view is stunning. We are very glad we stayed here and would like to come again.

We loved staying at Lara’s. Because of rainy weekend, the mountains were especially lush and foggy creating almost magical misty atmosphere. We were able to build a fire every night. Kitchen was perfectly stocked with nice scratch free pots/pans. Lots of nature and little towns to explore nearby. Thank you Lara - we would love to come back!

A great find close to everything in Gatlinburg! Comfortable beds, quiet at night. Temperature was perfect as they had two AC units. Free, easy parking. The unit was stylishly decorated and ww loved the full size mirrors! We visited Anakeesta and Skypark all in one day as well as the Great Smokey Mountains National Park.

Perfect for what we needed

In love with this Airbnb! It was our little quiet space outside of the Gatlinburg chaos. We were so comfortable and relaxed and loved seeing the wildlife in the property (we saw four bears!!). Can’t recommend this enough.

Wonderful Family-Friendly Stay! We had such a great experience at The Higher the Hair 2BR Condo! The place was spotless, cozy, and perfect for a family stay — especially with a toddler. It felt safe, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The highlight of the trip? We actually saw a bear right in the parking lot! Such a cool (and safe) experience that made our mountain getaway even more memorable. The condo has a beautiful view facing the park and is in a peaceful, convenient location close to everything in Gatlinburg. Highly recommend this spot for families — we’d definitely stay again!

Gabriel’s place was exactly as listed. Gabriel and co-hosts responded within minutes and gave clear instructions to everything needed to ensure a smooth stay. The distance is very reasonable and can be done multiple times a day. Would recommend!

Very respectful and responsive host. Made good recommendations. Clean and peaceful home. Was exactly like the description. Will be back again. Thank you.

What a lovely and cozy place. Attention to detail when decorating. We felt right at home. The location was great, the sound of the rushing near by creek was so relaxing. Host was friendly and easy to communicate with. Likely to return.

Everything was as described and more. The location was the perfect mix of local and private. Definitely bang for you buck.
