Vacation rentals with a kayak in Blue Ridge Mountains

We stayed at Ric and Chelsea’s place for a week and everything was great! House was wonderful and exactly what our family needed. Lots of things to do at the house and in a very walkable location. Ric was very communicative. All around great stay.

.We hosted our family of 10 Thanksgiving at this beautiful home. Kids loved the kayaks and the dock. We took a pontoon boat ride with Captain Kenny- highly recommend.

This was a great place to stay. Justin was very helpful and accommodating.

The Bobber Bungalow is such a cute stay with beautiful views. Loved the back sunroom and the access to the cove. Neighbors were all very quiet. Lindsay communicated well with us before and during our stay and house was very clean when we arrived. Only wish was that there was a door or curtain between master bedroom and master bath. Otherwise, everything was wonderful! Thank you!

Wonderful homes that allowed us to celebrate Christmas together. We want to come back in the summer.

Casa de la Costa is such an amazing home. The entrance of home felt like an Italian villa upon arrival. The interior design perfectly captures mid century modern. Perfectly clean bathrooms. The king size bed was comfortable for me and my 6’4” husband. And the dock was great for fishing. The home was perfectly central for our stay as we had plans to visit Wilmington, Surf City, and Carolina Beach. I can’t express enough how we felt right at home. Highly recommend 10/10.

Beautiful home in a peaceful location! Couldn’t have asked for anything more

We stayed for 3 days over Easter weekend and had a wonderful time. There were 10 of us and with the outdoor space and the downstairs area for the kids, there was plenty of room. We spent most of the time in the backyard playing games and using the hot tub. We also took the kayaks down to the lake for a bit which was fun. The kitchen was not quite big enough for all of us to eat inside but the deck space was plenty big so we generally ate out there. We would recommend this house to others.

We had an amazing time at this cottage! Our family of 6 loved the space and all the amenities in the kitchen came in so useful! We enjoyed sitting out on the back porch eating dinner. It’s super easy to access and in a great location to the lake. We visited Long Point Trail, Cathedral Falls, the lake, and Fat Eddies! Thanks for a great stay!

I would recommend this property to anyone! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Laura was beyond amazing as an host.She answered all questions immediately, was such a sweet and down to earth person. definitely a 10/10

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home! It was the perfect place for our anniversary weekend getaway and also for celebrating my nephew’s 3rd birthday. The house was easy to find and access, and the host went above and beyond by putting up a few birthday decorations and even leaving a sweet little gift for the birthday boy—such a thoughtful touch! The home was very clean, cozy, and well-stocked with everything you could need for a short or long stay. It has two spacious bedrooms with easy access to the living room, bathroom, and kitchen. The views of the lake were absolutely beautiful, and we really enjoyed having access to the dock—it was great for swimming, fishing, and just relaxing by the water. The host was very helpful, provided clear instructions, and gave us great recommendations for local dining and activities. Communication was quick and friendly. We felt right at home and would absolutely stay here again when we’re back in the area!

We spent Easter weekend here. As we drove in the wild azaleas and dogwoods were blooming, and everything afterwards was just as beautiful and peaceful. My teenagers loved kayaking and my daughter liked the pond so well she slept on the daybed on the porch. I appreciated the feather pillows and reverse osmosis water. Attention has been paid to every detail. I called my Nana to show her the antique desks. My small children enjoyed the toys and my middle son using the pully bucket on the porch. My daughter celebrated a birthday over our stay, more movie guests showed up than expected and I just couldn't turn these kids away. Our hosts were so kind. They of course charged a little extra as was clearly understood via the contract, they were very understanding and polite. The lock to the boat seems to be jamed, the downstairs fireplace is currently non operational, and I'm not sure I'll get back a thumb drive I forgot, but this family has worked hard to create really special place. Five star

We enjoyed staying at Taby's place, it was very cozy with everything we needed! Taby was quick to respond to any questions that we had, we would love to stay again if we're ever in Virginia.

We had a wonderful stay celebrating our granddaughter’s 21st birthday! The house was exactly as described. It was extremely clean which is important. Zach responded when we needed to ask him a question. Renting the pontoon boat from Zach was an added plus for the day!

This stay was perfect for my two kids and me. It's quiet, private, airy, and beachy and is as described. The best part, however, was the fabulous hosts, who are welcoming, intelligent, and fun. We took them up on an extra--namely an excursion to an uninhabited island--and it was my favorite part of the trip. Later, Brian attempted patiently to teach us to crab while likely questioning the firing of our neurons due to my deft whacking of the crabs back into the water. While our bucket remained empty due to my propensity for crab driving, we left with wonderful memories. To their likely dismay, we'll be back! 😂

We really enjoyed the home. It was very comfortable. The view of the water was awesome!

We love it it was a nice quiet place to visit will be back thank you so much

We really enjoyed our stay at Tim’s cabin. The cabin was easy to find and not too far from anything we needed to get to in town. We enjoyed being on the porch listening to the river & our many naps on the swing. The cabin itself was cozy & great for a couple. Would stay again!

This place is just wonderful! The cabin looks even better in person than in the pictures. And smelled amazing haha. The area around the cabin is still somewhat recovering from the Helene floods, but they’ve done a ton of work to get it back to its original state. The springtime will bring back a lot of growth I’m sure The kitchen was well stocked for cooking, which we appreciated. There were amazingly soft robes and blankets to relax in. Easy access to Linville Gorge and its trail system, if you’re looking for hiking in the area We spent probably too much time in the hot tub listening to the water. So relaxing. We will be back again for sure!

I booked this for a weekend retreat for my boyfriend's birthday and Rocreek cabin was everything we could have hoped for!! The location was secluded, serine and just LOVELY!!! The small details in the cabin were soooo perfect and just added to the experience. I love that she labeled towels for the furbabies and also had bowls for them. Our favorite part was the waterfall out back!! Having the window open above the bed and being able to listen to that while we slept was soooo relaxing!!! I also got Rhonda to bake a cake for my boyfriend's birthday and it was delicious!! $25 well spent and it was waiting in the fridge when we got there. Loved the area, as there was so much to do and see! Hiking sharp top, which was 15 mins away, was AMAZING. We also enjoyed the D-Day Memorial, which was also within 20 mins. Bedford is sooo quaint and cute!! This property and the area is a must see!!! Thank you both for being such AMAZING hosts.

Sure! Here’s a catchier version of your review: We had an amazing stay at Bob’s place! The home was just as described. The location couldn’t have been better, with the river right in front of the house, making for a truly relaxing experience. The master bedroom’s balcony overlooking the river was the perfect spot to unwind. On top of that, the host was super friendly and always available. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it!

We loved our stay at Amelia’s cabin! It is such a beautiful location and so peaceful. Our family had the best time fishing from the dock, going out on the canoe, enjoying the hot tub and having a bonfire. We would definitely come back! Our dogs had the best time swimming as well. Amelia was always very responsive, friendly and helpful! She is a wonderful host!

Rebecca’s cabin was lovely! Exactly as described with a great deck overlooking the river. Our trip was unfortunately cut short by threat of flood, but Rebecca and Leanne were extremely kind and helpful through the process. Thank you!!

We had a different reservation fall through and Jennifer and Ian graciously accepted our last minute reservation request. They even took the time to double check the property before we got there. The property was amazing! Location was peaceful, right on the river. The house was the perfect balance of cozy, rustic charm and modern conveniences. Bathrooms spotless and updated. Kitchen, while not updated, lacked for nothing. The oversized sofas were perfect for snuggling up on. And the screened front porch! OMG! Absolutely perfect! Spent each morning listening to nature wake up as the sun rose over the mountain while I drank my coffee. Mental refresh! Easy drive to town and hiking. Can fish right from private dock. Would highly recommend this property. Considering coming back later in the year with the whole family.
