Holiday rentals with a patio in Macon County

I loved everything about my stay at Hi-Horse! I was traveling solo for this trip for work and needed the peace and serenity of Hi-Horse. The views were magical and the hot tub was so relaxing! Tanya went the extra mile to make my stay extra special. There was a sweet note and chilled bottle of wine upon my arrival. She also created a wonderful digital guest manual that was so helpful as a guide for outings and where to eat. I would highly recommend Hi-Horse to anyone looking for a tranquil getaway and I will be back!

This was a lovely cozy place to stay in the NC mountain. It was close to town and Colleen was a great host. Would definitely stay here again!!

The owners were incredibly responsive and answered all our questions before our arrival. Once we stepped onto the property, we didn’t need to reach out again—every little detail had already been thoughtfully taken care of. The river that runs alongside the property adds the perfect touch of serenity, with the soothing sound of flowing water making the porch an ideal place to relax. The “man cave” in the garage is packed with games and full of charm—there’s something for everyone! And if that’s not enough, the living room features a full cabinet of board games for even more entertainment. We were drawn to the area by the Highlands Road Gem Show at 1602 Highlands Road, Franklin, NC. This public show is a real highlight in both May and July—always worth attending! Don’t miss Dry Falls—an absolute must-see! We’d definitely stay here again. This home had everything we needed for a truly lovely trip!

We had the best weekend at the cottage. Easy, quick drive to downtown highlands. Some highlights - The pizza oven was great for making pizzas, grill was fantastic for grilling steaks, fire pit for s’mores and the Hot tub was used several times. The kids loved the bunk room. The house was beautifully decorated and we felt right at home. We hope to be back soon!

quaint Forrest cottage...feels like being among the trees...absolutely loved it

Thank you Alice & Scott for sharing your beautiful home with us! It was just as pictured and I can't say enough about the spectacular views! Look forward to staying again.

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!

♥"What a great find!" - what my wife said as soon as we arrived!♥ Mike and Amber didn't forget anything in renovating this wonderful, peaceful home! Minutes away from Franklin; short drives to Highlands, Dillsboro, etc. Hiking, waterfalls, good shopping and dining - or simply seclusion and relaxation if that's what you're looking for! From the outdoor shower to the peaceful rear deck to comfortable king bed and great kitchen and other amenities, this was the perfect getaway in a wonderfully bucolic setting that we and our rescue golden retriever, Buddy, enjoyed immensely! How impressed were we? - well, we've already started planning our return visit!☺

This was a return trip to this area and stay in this cottage. We have stayed in the Dogwood and 3 bedroom cottage next door which is also hosted by Carly. Pllan to reserve soon for a summer trip.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving week at Lynne’s beautifully appointed home (Nome-Stay). The location was perfect, very close to our family in Otto, and convenient to commerce in Franklin, NC. The location was beautiful and quiet, surrounded with tranquil scenes of mountains, farms, and rolling pastures. We saw a deer one evening on the property next door. The bedrooms and bath were very spacious, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The open kitchen/dining/living room space was wonderful and easily accommodated our needs for our family Thanksgiving. We felt at home immediately. We enjoyed meeting Lynne and her two dogs, and she was a wonderful and responsive host. Lynne has thought of everything in her well-appointed home to make her guests feel comfortable and at home. Thank you, Lynne for being so accommodating and for sharing your beautiful home with our family. We will definitely stay here again.

Peaceful escape to the mountains. We loved this peaceful condo in a beautiful setting. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed our stay at Ann’s place! It was comfortable, clean and in a great location. Would definitely recommend booking here!

We totally loved our stay! The location was perfect - so close to the wedding venue which was our reason for coming. Sasha was beyond helpful! Her generous hospitality was amazing! The space itself was so peaceful and charming! We highly recommend this place…
