Vacation rentals with a kayak in Great Smoky Mountains

Great place to spend your vacation.alot of activities!

We enjoy our stay here every time. Extremely thoughtful hosts and clean, comfy home with a beautiful view.

This is a great home to stay in. Very well equipped and super clean. The location is ideally located within a 15 minute drive to Bryson City but tucked away from any busyness. We really enjoyed our stay here and the host was great at communicating. The only thing to be aware of is that at night you can see right into the upstairs bedroom through the large panoramic windows and there is another cabin facing that direction. Not a deal breaker but worth noting. Overall this place is great and I highly recommend.

An amazing place to stay. Beautiful views with plenty of trails on the property to explore, not to mention the friendly dogs that may come by and say hi. I would highly recommend staying here for a trip to the Asheville area.

Wonderful place! Thank you for opening your home to us!

My family of four really enjoyed staying at Todd's. There was plenty of space inside and nature surrounding the house, and it was close enough to the things we wanted to explore in Highlands as well as Cashiers.

First this is a must see. I loved this stay and will definetly go back. Is so nice, the area is amazing, is close to everything, clean house, the balcony X2 is so relaxing to have cofee in the mornings and look at the water. everything you need in the kitchen, grill outside, Hot tub (did not use) but when I got to the house the guy there was filling up the tub with fresh water. Last people had used it. ( he wanted to make sure it was clean). who does that? finally, Jason responded fast to my questions. is woth it.

The host and co host were awesome! We got lost but they provided a map and very responsive to assist us to the house. The house was very clean and felt like home. Thank you and I would suggest this house to anyone that wants to be comfortable and the sight of the mountains.

Thanks for hosting ! We enjoyed our stay

Calvin was an amazing host. I had some family emergency things come up. He was very helpful.

We loved every second at the house. It was gorgeous inside and out! The driveway was a teeny bit steep but its on a mountain (just be careful if you're new to uphill driving like I was!). Kaycee and Scott were great hosts - very responsive, helpful, left easy instructions and were so kind! Word of advice for the area: expect to drive everywhere and plan to experience everything! There are "tourist" areas with arcades, parks, and shops, then there are "local" areas with quiet scenery and great views. We mainly did the tourist stuff but we'll be back to experience it all!

This cozy, beautiful spot is a treasure! Kim was very attentive to details in creating a space that is welcoming and feels like home. The kitchen was well equipped, decor blends modern and mountain cottage. Plenty to entertain at the house or nearby. The description helped us know how to best plan our visit to the area and there were great tips and maps at the house too. Beautiful scenery and a great place to enjoy birds, fall foliage, hiking and much more. So thankful for a great getaway!

Really enjoyed our stay. Beds were super comfy. The house is spacious and the kitchen is one of the best stocked I've experienced in an Airbnb. Loved the screened in porch where I enjoyed my morning coffee by the fire table and watching the deer. Also enjoyed the fire ring near the end of the drive and a wonderful spacious piece of property. Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and the National Park are only about an hours drive. Most definitely would stay here again. It did not disappoint.

This home by the little lake near Toxaway was a PERFECT peaceful getaway for my whole family! It’s so quiet and cozy, and we felt right at home. The house layout was great for our family: a couple with a teen, preteen and two dogs. The house has a great view of the small lake, and we enjoyed the canoe and kayaks on the water. So calming! We also had a fire in the fireplace each night and loved it. The kitchen is adequately stocked, and if you’re staying here, definitely bring some food. Restaurants aren’t super close, and the closest (affordable) ones were not the best. The location to lots of trails, waterfalls and Mountain View’s was awesome!!! We also appreciate allowing pets! Our pups had a great time on the trails with us. The games at the place are great, too!

We do a family trip every year and try to keep in mind things to do as well as accommodations to suit the range of ages. This home checked all the boxes, it was accessible for the grandparents and the layout provided a peaceful place for them to relax while the active members of our family played with all the amenities and games provided. Although the weather during our stay prohibited us from venturing out to hike as much as we liked there were options for entertainment at the house. All the little touches made it extremely convenient and a very pleasant stay. If you needed something they already thought of it. The welcome bag and packet of information was like a cherry on top. They even thought to leave an Ingles card! Sometimes it's the little things. Very responsive to any questions and provided clear instructions for your stay. Highly recommend, enjoy your stay in this wonderful neighborhood. Definitely check out the neighborhood trails, 100% recommend it.

Beautiful location, easy checkin/out, comfy beds, awesome porch !

Chris's mountain getaway was amazing! Beautifully decorated, gorgeous views, and it was so peaceful. There was a winter storm a few days before we arrived and we were unable to make it up the road to the house. Chris was very responsive. Some super sweet neighbors that had four wheel drive transported us and our items up to the cabin. I would highly recommend booking a stay at Chris's place!

This was a great cabin, and very close to all the attractions! We will book here again!

This is a beautiful location and the cabin is well appointed, clean, and close to downtown Highlands. Mary is a great host and was very responsive and helpful. Her home and helpful tips on the area made our first visit to Highlands an experience to remember. We enjoyed our stay and are already thinking about when we can return!

Great spot for a couple (and a dog). Easy to find. Host was very responsive and communicative when we had questions and proactive when there was weather coming through. Hot tub was a great perk. We liked walking around the resort area as well.

This place is simply spectacular! I couldn't imagine finding a more charming home to stay at while visiting the Smoky Mnts. The ever-changing view of the sun rising over the mountain range each morning held us in total awe and gave us every excuse to refill our coffee cups and delay whatever plans we had for the day just a few minutes more. This cozy cabin had enough room for our party of five to properly relax and enjoy our time together with sufficient privacy when it was time to shuffle off to a quiet room for bed. The kitchen had everything needed to prepare and serve a large meal when we weren't in Maryville or Knoxville for dinner. Outdoor amenities like the firepit, front porch, and the hammock swing chairs below each provided somewhere new to lounge and take in all of the beauty of the nature that we were surrounded by. Amanda & Bo were the most accommodating and gracious hosts, easy to communicate with throughout our stay. We will be planning our return trip hopefully soon!

This is a great place in a beautiful location. The cabin is close enough to visit tourist areas but in a much quieter and more peaceful area. Tammy was very responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay again.

This beautiful cabin in the Smokies exceeded our expectations! From the location, the well stocked kitchen, to the amenities-the cabin has it all. We enjoyed our stay and our family said it is their favorite winter cabin. Also, the owner was quick to respond to a few questions we had due to snow.

we loved our stay at ashley’s place near bryson city - a nice, quiet new year’s eve was exactly what we were looking for. the home was cozy and warm (that propane heater was shockingly effective! we usually even turned it off before going to bed), the windows out to the mountains were more than we could have hoped for and let in SO much light, and the amenities (hot tub included) were exactly as described. the place is about a 20 min drive from downtown bryson city, which wasn’t too far for us to go into town each day for a bite to eat and to check out a new place (we loved and would recommend bryson city brewing and the wine market in town), but just far enough to make our dream of a mountain retreat come true. we loved it here and would happily stay again!
