Apartment in Nebo
5 out of 5 average rating, 6 reviewsNon-smoking Lakefront apartment
Blin's place was spotless, comfortable and the view was stunning - Fall leaves were in full color while we were there. The bathrooms were spacious and clean - the water was hot with good pressure. The king bed in the master was supportive and comfortable. I heard no complaints about the bunk room beds the kids used. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, bowls and cooking utensils. All appliances worked well. It was muddy while we were there so we rolled up the light colored rugs so we didn't accidentally stain them. We had our dog with us and there was plenty of area for him to run and the streets were quiet for a walk along the road. There are steps all the way to the water which will be amazing for lake access in the summer. As it was cold while we were there and the lake was still recovering from Hurrican Helene, we did not get in the water. All in all it was a great place to stay.

Karen was helpful in sending recommendations and communication regarding the impact of Helene on the area. Always answered questions and put us at ease. The suite was beautiful and the amenities were nice and the views were great. Instructions were helpful. I would highly recommend this suite
Apartment in Sugar Mountain
5 out of 5 average rating, 25 reviewsSugar Ski Townhome - 4 Ensuites - Slopes/Tubing
This was a good place to stay near sugar mountain. It's a short hike to get to the ticket office and lifts. The rental itself is a quaint little condo near the lake. Levi was communicative and I could see myself staying here again.
Apartment in Banner Elk
4.67 out of 5 average rating, 3 reviewsBanner Elk 1BR on Lovely Resort
A great location with almost immediate access to skiing and hiking trails! We didn’t use the amenities while there but did see many families enjoying them. A 15 minute ride to Boone and all that area offers was a plus. This was a quiet, corner location with a soothing view of a pond on the grounds out all of the windows. A good sized space to wind down after a full day of adventures!
Apartment in Boone
4.83 out of 5 average rating, 41 reviewsCentral, Walkable, Stylish Apartment
Jamie's place was a nice fit for our visit to Boone. The space was clean, nicely decorated, and quiet. Jamie was communicative and all of the instructions were clear. We really appreciated Jamie's willingness to accommodate our dogs, who often travel with us. This rental is located about 1.5 miles from the main strip of downtown Boone, which was a little farther than we expected. However, there are sidewalks all the way and it's a straightforward route if you are planning to walk. We'd definitely consider staying here again on a return trip to Boone.
Apartment in Sugar Mountain
5 out of 5 average rating, 3 reviews3 Units for 22 Guests, 3 mins Ski Sugar, Firepit
Both Theresa and Jorge were quick to respond. We did have some issues with the temperature in the houses and the wifi going out but Jorge showed up quickly to save the day with some extra portable AC’s and to get the wifi back up and running. There was lots to do in the area but also just spending time on the back porch was incredible. It was extremely peaceful and very private. The mountain coaster is within walking distance as well as high mountain expeditions (they offer whitewater rafting, tubing and kayaking).
Apartment in Sugar Mountain
4.5 out of 5 average rating, 6 reviewsCentral Place, 3 mins to Ski Sugar, Creek & Deck
Great location if you’re looking to do the main attractions at Sugar Mtn. Right next to the entrance for skiing/tubing/ice skating and right off the road where with rentals, Alpine Coaster, gem mining, etc. The kitchen areas are minimal with only small appliances, but our group didn’t mind. On the flip side, the back porch was beautiful and huge! It was great for our trip of 12 to go skiing.

This Airbnb had a fantastic location, making it very convenient for our stay.

Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely consider staying here again.

Home in Sherrills Ford
5 out of 5 average rating, 19 reviewsWaterfront Retreat in Cozy Cove
My husband and I loved staying at this home. It was very clean, well equipped, and welcoming. The hosts are very friendly and responsive. The location of the home was in the middle of a very quiet neighborhood. There are great restaurants and grocery stores near by. The view of the lake was lovely. I really loved the bathroom in the master bedroom. It has double showers and a whirlpool tub. We are definitely staying here again.

5 out of 5 average rating, 11 reviewsThe hot tub is ready & waiting for you to unwind!
Peaceful Getaway with Stunning Lake Views I had an incredible stay at the Cozy Lakefront Retreat! From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by the serene surroundings and breathtaking lake views. The cabin was impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location is perfect for unwinding—whether sipping coffee on the deck overlooking the water or enjoying an evening by the fire pit. The hosts were incredibly attentive and made sure I had everything I needed without being intrusive. If you’re looking for a peaceful escape surrounded by nature, this is the perfect spot. I can’t recommend it enough and look forward to coming back soon!

We had a great family gathering at Scott’s lake house. Lots of room for everyone including Skye, our dog. Great sunrises and sunsets. Played cornhole and went inside to warm up!
Home in Sherrills Ford
4.89 out of 5 average rating, 18 reviewsWaterfront Sunset Getaway
I would say 4.5 but wanted to round up. Nice people. Pros: Good location if you like Lake Norman. Hot tub was nice for the evening, freshly filled and cleaned. Early check in available. Kids enjoyed ping pong. Kayaks available for use is a plus. I was missing: No laundry facilities-or trash bag for dirty clothes would be nice. Bring your own shampoo! Not great offering of that. Kitchenette no cooking options…microwave and fridge plus a toaster. GFI outlet isn't working properly. Turned on the keurig and tripped a breaker and smelled a burning smell. No coffee mugs, but there is a keurig? Floor by ping pong table is really sticky 🤢. Beds are lumpy, not too comfy. We only stayed one night, so we didn’t bother the owners about anything. I’m sure they would’ve been pleasant about anything we wished we needed.
Waterfront condo rentals
Condo in Sugar Mountain
4.32 out of 5 average rating, 41 reviews3BR Mountainview 2nd-Floor | Balcony
Great stay overall! Very clean, great location walkable to the slopes, and offered an early check in and easy check out process. Important to note you must sign separate Vacasa contracts before arriving and only two parking spaces are allotted. The WiFi is a bit of a pain as you must re-enter your email address every time your phone or laptop shuts off. Not a big deal just something to be aware of. Would definitely stay again!
