Lakeview House: Hike, Relax, Mountain Bike & More!
Beautiful location to stay in! Breathtaking views and great trails all around. The staff was also great.

The Lake House
This place was perfect for us and our dogs—one of our favorite trips for sure. It had everything we needed in a clean and comfortable package. Basic, convenient, cozy, comfortable, and the best location for us. We want to cancel all of our other trips this year and just come back to Black Mountain and stay at Sean’s. While we have very well behaved dogs and have never had any issues with them staying anywhere, we always get a little nervous that they might mess something up, but Sean’s place is absolutely dog proof and we felt right at home. Our dogs loved it too. Don’t hesitate to book, but also we hope it’s available next time we come to Black Mountain. 😀

Hickory Hideaway | Lake Lure Waterfront Cabin
Great stay! House was beautiful and clean and everything you could need in the boat house! The only issue was the boat rental. Motor died and the replacement wasn’t near the equivalent of the original rental. Still worked out

Historic Lake Front Cottage- FirePit, Large Boatho
Great location. Immaculate and as described. Enjoyed the lake.

HUGE House near skiing, easy access. King
Excellent experience. Would recommend

Sunset Gateway 1200 Sq Ft Apt w/ Community Dock!
This was our second time staying and we loved it just as much as the first time! We even got to see two deer right outside the deck in the morning. Definitely a great place to stay to support WNC.

Peaceful Lake House Retreat: Swim, Kayaks, SUPs
What a great place. Brought the family for Thanksgiving. Plenty of room for everyone. Saw 4 bucks the day we arrived. We had fires, fished, played games and relaxed. Kitchen is very well stocked. Love the “second” kitchen. It sure helped with Thanksgiving. The whole house is. Thomas is a great host. Don’t hesitate to book. I bet it’s great in the summer.

Quiet Cove Lakefront Relaxation
The property was super clean, cozy and in a great location. Beautiful views of the lake and a private backyard. Interior had all the essentials one might need. Linens were abundant and clean. Bathrooms and kitchen were all upgraded and very nice. Quick drive to the market and a walk across the street for coffee, drinks and food. Also a quick drive to Chinmey Rock. Patrick, the host, was very responsive and always friendly. Definitely recommend. We will be staying here again!
Lake access apartment rentals

Peaceful Lakefront Apartment
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!
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

Quilted Corner-C
Great location - a very short walk to the lakeside trail. We had everything we needed for our weekend stay. Alice and Philip were very responsive.

2br/2ba Updated! 3min Walk to Lake!
Lesley's place was clean and comfortable. Lesley is a good communicator and our needs were met with clear instructions. Beautiful area!

Hummingbird Suite at Lake J
This location was perfect for two of us spending a long weekend at Lake Junaluska for a conference. We had our privacy and also wonderful spaces to visit with one another, such as the outdoor patio area and comfortable living room. Great vallue, clean and comfortable. Having bottled water and muffins waiting for us was a thoughtful touch too!

Starstorm Mountain Apartment-Pet Friendly
Larry is a fantastic host who goes above and beyond. We really appreciated and used his local recommendations for restaurants and activities. The apartment was clean and practical. Large washing machine and new appliances. Beautiful views of the lake. Definitely recommend and would stay there again!

Lakefront Condo Flat Rock N.C.
Excellent Airbnb in a quiet area. Will definitely stay here again in the future!

Lakeside Joy-Magical Views, Peaceful Escape
We had an amazing time at loriel and Adam’s place. While the weather was windy/cold and we lost power for a few hours due to weather, the views were breathtaking. The house was only steps from a beautiful walking trail around the lake, and only minutes from shopping/restaurants in Waynesville. Even under these circumstances, loriel and Adam were very communicative. Highly recommend this place!
Lake access cottage rentals

Livy's Lake Cottage, 3min walk to Lake Junaluska!
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.

Lake Lure Cottage~Pontoon Available 2 Rent!
The Cottage at Lake Lure provided unmatched views and a relaxed and peaceful retreat. Outdoor spaces are beautiful but unfortunately the boat house that was present at the time of booking had been taken down by the time of our stay, reducing the ability to be on the lake. Access to paddleboards and kayaks a plus and the ability to rent a pontoon was a wonderful bonus. Wifi access was spotty and phone service challenging - this provided some challenges to individuals who planned to work a remote day from the booking. Overall a great stay with fire pit, grill, time on the water, and gorgeous scenery.

Farmer & the Naiad, cottage on 1800s farmplace
Can't say enough about my stay and how lovely Sarabeth was. The cottage was truly beautiful (the art work, design, furnishings). Every detail was thought of. It was the perfect getaway in stunning surroundings. Sarabeth and her family were so warm and responsive whenever I had questions. I felt truly welcome. It's a very special place and I can't wait to go back.

Lakeside Lodge-Not impacted by Hurricanes
Really enjoyed our night here. Appreciated the clear instructions and everything is labeled well. The house and area is beautiful, sad it was too rainy to take advantage of the canoes. Would definitely stay here again.

Rest Assured with hot tub
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

Lake Osceola Cottage-5 min from DT Hendersonville
Very good people are always attentive offered to stay due to the hurricane emergency

The Happy Red Cabin
Wonderful stay at the happy red cabin! It’s a special place perfect for unwinding and unplugging. The town of Saluda has excellent food and lots of nature around to explore. The cabin is comfortable and clean, also private and quiet. We will definitely return!

Treetops Cottage, wi-fi, dog friendly, peaceful
We wanted a peaceful, secluded getaway and we found it. Since Helene, there is less to do and see since Morse Park is closed and Chimney Rock Village is closed, but that was actually a blessing. We visited spots we wouldn't have before and spent hours upon hours relaxing on the porch. In addition, the cottage is stocked with all the amenities one would need and more. This is definitely a property we will stay at again!
