Mountain Lake House at Rocky Point

ToddRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The view of the lake from the large back porch was awesome. A peaceful place to relax and explore the lake on the canoes provided. There was a green egg on site for cooking dinner. I’d highly recommend this location!

Lake Front Tiny Home on Timpson Cove

ShannonRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We will have to come back and visit this wonderful house and boat house in the summertime. I can only imagine how wonderful it is when you can enjoy sitting on the dock and soaking in this beautiful lake. We visited on probably the coldest weekend of the year, so we did not get to take full advantage of all the amenities. Everything was really nice and we had a very relaxing long weekend.

Waterside Home, Hot tub, Fireplace, WiFi, Dog-OK

IndyaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I enjoyed this place 100%. Clean space, some privacy, extremely peaceful. Matt was super proactive in letting us know of the current events that could affect our stay, such as open fire bans. so therefore we could not use the fire pit. However, We enjoyed the scenery, the hot tub, the grill and other outside adventures. I would highly recommend staying here & I would definitely book with Matt again during a different season!

Nantahala Lake Family Home w/ Private Dock & Views

DeniseRating, 5 stars10 months ago
This vacation involved checking out the area for an upcoming wedding. For the house, we wanted lots of space in the house and easy parking, bathrooms for each family group, family space to hang out, easy walking, and of course access to the lake. All of these happened plus great porch space with the firepit and also the outdoor firepit. The stairs to the lake provided a work out and planning for the day. That is the only consideration for others to be aware of, is if they have a family member that has issues with stairs. The area is beautiful and exactly what we hoped for and this home with the easy contact for any issues or questions made it a great week!

Lake Keowee Hideaway Lake Access in a Private Cove

DanaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
We very much enjoyed our stay at Robert’s place in Sunset SC. It suited our 3 generations of family that we had there. The kitchen table was great with room for all 8 of us plus more! The bedroom situation was wonderful with I/2 baths stuck strategically around the house. Lots of games and puzzles for the kids. Here were a few items to mention for future visitors: there are 3 stories in this house so be prepared to hike, and discuss the heating/cooling situation with other guests before going to bed as the middle floor thermostat is in one of the bedrooms.

Peaceful Lakefront Apartment

RustyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We absolutely enjoyed your place! Sharon and Anna were excellent host and very supportive! The apartment lacked nothing! It was so peaceful and relaxing! We loved the trail around the whole lake and walked it each day! The location is very convenient to anything you would like to do in the mountains! We have no problem recommending this AirBNB location or the host, Sharon and Anna! Thank you for a great few days!

Sarah's Studio Apt, 5 min walk to the Lake!

AmyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This was such a lovely Airbnb! Squeaky clean, walkable to beautiful Lake Junaluska and just a few minutes to hiking and downtown Waynesville. You can really tell Steve and Susie want their guests to have a five star stay with so many thoughtful touches such as bottled water, coffee, tea, half and half, biscotti’s card games and an abundance of books and guides about the area. There was a private table and chairs outside for a glass of wine or a meal which we loved and the bed was so comfortable. We visit this area often and we are so glad we have found our home away from home in Waynesville. Thank you Steve and Susie for hosting us! Blessings, Steve and Amy

Hidden Cove Cottage on Chatuge Lake

LenoreRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Had a great stay! While a bit remote, the house was really nice and exactly as pictured. It’s in a quiet and peaceful location on the lake. Bob was responsive and has the house well stocked. We especially enjoyed the kayaks and getting out on and exploring the lake.

The cottage is easy to find and has great access to the lake. We walked on the walking path every afternoon during our stay. The cottage has great amenities and is a great value. The location is within 5-10 minutes of almost all restaurants/shopping you could need during your stay. Highly recommend.

Rest Assured with hot tub

BethRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Thank you for letting us stay. it was wonderful being able to have our two dogs with us. Bed was comfortable and and there was ample room for our two 18 year olds. The hot tub was clean and warm! Used it every day. Only thing I would not, and this doesn't take away from the review or rating, is the pond wasn't quite the view we thought it would be and there were more lizards than fish. nothing the host can control. Just something to note depending on the expectations of the guest and what they are looking for. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again
