Vacation rentals with lake access in Blue Ridge Mountains

The house was wonderful. The house was spotless and had everything we needed. Our family loved how peaceful it was.

The house is a great stay and the host is fantastic! Kristen is very responsive, helpful, and even offered to extend our stay at a reduced rate. The house is right on the water with an amazing dock. The community is gated and has great amenities--we enjoyed the playground and the hiking trails. Definitely beats any hotel in the area!

We visited Phillip’s lake house for a long weekend to celebrate our daughter’s upcoming 17th birthday, along with a few of her friends and our family. Within 20 minutes of being there, our daughter asked us if we could rent again this summer! The house is beautifully appointed (the girls loved the leopard stair runners!), and the home was absolutely pristine. The owners have left no stone unturned when it comes to detail, instruction and comfort, and there was plenty to entertain our crew inside and out! The surroundings are somewhat ethereal, not to mention peaceful, even with 6 teen girls, a ten year old boy, and our pup! We all loved that he got to join us, and being the water dog he is, he was in heaven! Our favorites were exploring the lake in the canoe and other water toys, so generously provided, and star gazing on the dock! We can’t wait to visit again! This home may have become our new Highlands tradition!

Jessi’s Air bnb exceeded my expectations! The house its self was beautiful, and the inside was very well kept up! The back deck made the perfect lounging area, as well as the boat dock! We enjoyed lots of sunshine at the dock! Jessi’s communication was amazing, checking in on us, keeping up to date and her response time made questions answerable within minutes! The location of the house is 15 minutes from restaurants which made it very accessible! The house is perched back into a cove, which made it very peaceful and relaxing! I would highly recommend Jessi’s air bnb!

We we're looking for a place to unwind from the Christmas holiday season. Ross's place gave us just that. The cabin was quite and right on the lake for some much needed RnR. There were beautiful sunrises and sets each day. We explored one of the local wineries, breweries and a few of the local restaurants. We hope to return over the summer months to enjoy the lake and activities the area has to offer.

I am a consultant working on a project here in Hartwell and stayed at Dan's place for 4 months. Dan is an absolutely amazing host. He is communicative, attentive, and ALWAYS very quick to respond. The place is beautiful, clean, quiet, and comfortable. I had no issues feeling at home the entire time I was staying here. I will look to book here first when I come back to Hartwell later this year. Thanks for an amazing experience, Dan!

Very cozy. We loved the decor and the location. We stayed in a lot, and with six adults, we never felt cramped or like we were getting in each other's way. There is plenty of seating for everyone in the den. We played games, cooked, watched TV and movies, and enjoyed the fire pit and the deck.

We were so happy to be able to book this place on such short notice after having our original stay at another lake house cancelled by the host at the very last minute when we were already on the road traveling with our small children and friends. Tony was very accommodating and made what would have been a ruined trip very nice and enjoyable. Thank you so much!

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

Everything was wonderful. We were a little taken aback when we realized the listing was not for the whole house. But we did go back to the listed description and read that it said unit rental... so then it made sense. Still, maybe just saying something like bottom floor rental with back entrance access only might make it extra clear.

My boyfriend, our friend, and I enjoyed our stay at Tom and Christine’s place! We enjoyed sitting on the dock, and the space is very clean and comfortable, and close to everything. We’d love to stay again

Rick and Judy were amazing! Place was immaculate with priceless views while sipping your morning coffee! Beautiful location and neighborhood! Will definitely be back and will have to take Rick up on that boat ride next trip! Cant wait to go back!

Laurie and Daniel Couldn’t ask for better people to use their wonderful place. They always make Dad and I feel right at home and always so helpful. Will continue to keep renting from them

Beautiful location with great views of Lake Junaluska! Couldn’t have asked for a better location, accommodations, or hosts. Would definitely book again if available! The coziness of this rental only enhanced a wonderful 31st wedding anniversary getaway! Knew it was perfect when we saw the “You & Me” decor in the kitchen area which is the name of our song and also our favorite saying!

Amazing! The bed was so comfortable and we loved the sitting area in the bedroom. Very quiet! We loved the view overlooking the lake. Very close to restaurants and downtown Asheville. Staci and Tricia have a wonderful space that is very relaxing and comfortable. Plenty of towels and essentials you may need. Staci and Tricia were very responsive and great hosts!! we met them in our first couple days of staying there and we felt like we have known them for a long time. Great place and can’t wait to come back and stay.

Myself my boyfriend and my dog stayed and it was amazing. Gorgeous views and lake to walk around. Very clean and organized. Very close to downtown and other activities. We enjoyed our stay and the host kept in contact when we had questions. We would absolutely stay again.

Great cottage stay near Summersville Lake. Beautiful pond in rear of property to sit and enjoy viewing while having my morning coffee. Easy walk to Fat Eddie's for the best ice cream. Just a couple minutes drive to the boat ramp, walking trails, restaurants, etc.

Beautiful place to stay in the woods. The kids had plenty of places to run outside and they really enjoyed the kayaks and playing in the pond.

2nd time staying here, this house is amazing. I hope i get to stay here again, so worth the effort to find this home.

I love it 🥰🥰 an going to rent it out again in the summer

4 life-long friends looked for a quick get-away. This home was perfect. Quiet, cozy, roomy and had every amenity you can think of and beyond! We wished we were able to stay longer than 2 nights. Our favorite being the hot tub and the fireplace :-) :-) Ellen was extremely helpful and responsive with any question.

We were very happy with the cottage! Clean and everything you need is there! Love seeing all the deer! Definitely would stay again! Thank you Heather!

Truly cannot recommend this place enough! The lake was so incredibly peaceful and beautiful, we spent hours reading out on the dock and I’m wishing I could drink my coffee there every morning! The house had everything we could possibly need and felt like home. It had so many thoughtful details and decorations throughout. Jeffrey is an excellent host, very responsive and helpful, and we are hoping to come back many many more times in the future.

We had a great time and it is a great place. We had a small issue with the outside lights and they immediatley fixed them the next day. Also allowed for us to have a later checkout. Very friendly responsive hosts. Excellent view to the lake.
