House vacation rentals in Highlands

We had an amazing stay at this Airbnb with our family of 10, ranging from a baby to grandparents. The house was meticulously maintained and spotlessly clean. It had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing trip. The layout was perfect, with plenty of space for everyone to spread out while still having great common areas for gathering. Every room was beautifully designed, so no one felt like they got the “lesser” room. The views were absolutely incredible, and we loved the added amenities—board games, foosball, a jacuzzi, and a grill. The host was fantastic—super responsive, helpful with local recommendations, and proactive in keeping us informed about a nearby fire. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this home for any group looking for a relaxing and well-equipped retreat!

Looking around Maggie Valley from this house, I don't think there was a better view to be had. This house is well-stocked and comfortable in every way we would have hoped for and Billy and the co-hosts gave us all the info we needed, but the star of the show is the view over the valley to the Blue Ridge Mountains and the stunning sunset. We definitely need to come back and see it in the fall. During our stay, we visited downtown Waynesville (great shops and restaurants ... Frog Level Brewery and The Red Fox were favorites), drove the Blue Ridge Parkway and stopped at many overlooks (Waterrock Knob is a relatively short drive from the house), and we ventured over to the Cherokee and Bryson City to ride the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad. The highlight was seeing more than a dozen elk at the Oconaluftee Visitor Center in the morning before the visitor center opened, but we even saw some in a field in Maggie Valley. But mostly we loved sitting on the deck and relaxing in this home!

Excellent location! Home was just as described and like photos. Easily walkable to the downtown restaurants, shopping and activities in Waynesville.

Staying at Gina’s farmhouse was amazing. We enjoyed every moment sitting by the creek that runs right through the property. It was so peaceful and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommended for anyone looking to stay right outside the smokies!!

Had a very nice weekend, felt like home. Everything was exactly as described in listing, very convenient to downtown Waynesville. Would highly recommend.

Very smooth process, and quiet area 10/10

The Honey House is lovely. I loved the honey bee theme. It had everything we needed for an enjoyable trip.

I had an excellent experience at this Airbnb. The space was spotless, well-equipped, and very cozy. The host was very kind and always available for any questions. I felt right at home. I would definitely stay here again!

After having our reservation cancelled at another property (in Ga) 2days before we were to arrive, we were in a panic to find another property for 9 in the mountains. Sharon had not anticipated a Thanksgiving rental so had not prepared. within 2 hours she had the preparations arranged and had her beautiful house ready for us. Great water views, private, and quiet. Dock for swimming and kayaking but too cold at the end of November. I can't recommend more highly.

Anne was prompt in her responses and very accommodating to our needs. We checked in a bit later than we hoped due to some bad traffic/ weather and we were met with warmth and understanding in our inquiries regarding check in details. Their home is very cozy and the environment is very serene. Our kids loved the swing out front "kids meeting area" up stairs.

Excellent family friendly place to stay. Great location to some of the best mountain biking on the east coast. walkable to 185 King Street, a family friendly music venue with great food. will stay again soon!

Easy check in. Hosts allowed early check-in because we arrived too early. Dog run available for use while we needed to get ready for different events. Well centered between Franklin and Sylva. Short drive to Georgia state line going South. Short ride to Waynesville going east. Follow hosts direction not to take Brendle to home. We have a 4WD Jeep and used it but would not recommend for small sedans or SUV’s/trucks. We also were able to get a delivery from Instacart for our groceries.

Absolutely stunning place to stay and the waterfall topped the property off!!! Had a tree fall during a wind storm while we were staying so I contacted Glenn and he literally had it all cut up and out of the way of the driveway in less than an hour from the time I messaged him. Way to go Glenn!!!!!!! Thank you again for a flawlessly amazing stay!!!!

Wonderful home. Would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful stay at the barn quilt farmhouse. Everything was clean and welcoming for guests. The view is unbelievable and pictures do not do it justice. We can’t wait to visit again!

We had the loveliest girls weekend in Highlands NC. Lei's place was a great mountain house, very close to town and in a quiet setting. It was easy to find and easy to access. Immaculate and very pretty decor. We did not walk to town, but it's a quick 2 minute drive. Everyone was very comfortable, and the house had everything we needed. We would love to come back for another stay.

My family and I had a great time. The place was awesome. First of all, it is super clean. We enjoyed the creek, playground, grilling, the pool, and were able to work at night with the WiFi provided. The location was convenient and peaceful. The house was also loaded with plenty of essentials. The coffee machine was very clean, I usually have to use my own but theirs was clean so I did use it. We would definitely book here again. The owners were responsive and very pleasant.

Well, my husband and I have stayed there on and off for the last six months for local work, so we know the place well. Sadly, our project has come to an end, so our most recent stay will be our last for work. BUT, we love everything about Todd and Barbie and the house, and we will be back for fun hiking weekends. Hiking, waterfalls, everything nearby. It's the best place we've stayed in the area. Private, squeaky clean, big deck, large dining room table for big meals or spreading out the paperwork, GREAT internet connection and TV options. We'll definitely be back on our own - we feel so comfortable there in every way. I could not recommend any higher - would give it a "10" if I could. Todd and Barbie also bent over backwards to help us with a couple of last-minute schedule changes. Such honest and thoughtful hosts. Thanks Todd and Barbie for EVERYTHING over the last few months. We love you guys!

Gorgeous mountain retreat is a perfect way to describe this property. I found everything in the description of this property to be true. In my opinion Karla’s description was very humble and we found the property to be much better than expected. Entire family celebrated my father’s 90th birthday, and found the house plenty spacious for all of us. With full living space on the main level and downstairs we never felt crowded.The house was immaculate and very well stocked with items that were above and beyond any other property I’ve ever stayed in right down to the firewood. Directions were easy to follow and communication was always done in a timely fashion. If you want to relax, do nothing, enjoy the views this is the place for you. If you want to be active, go hiking, play golf, tennis, etc. this is the place for you. If you want to grill out and watch football with the gang, this place is for you. So if you have a large group, and you are looking for a mountain getaway, I recommend that you stop looking and book this property NOW!!

Beautiful view and plenty of room for our family. Kerry responded quickly to my questions and gave clear directions. I’m glad she recommended to stay on paved roads since we arrived at night and alternate routes take you down gravel roads. Convenient location for our stay to enjoy snow tubing and amenities at the Sapphire Valley Community Center.

Stayed at tall ships numerous times, best unit so far. Enjoy all the amenity’s. Golf,tennis,gym, walking trails. Will rent from Michael next trip. Chuck B.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was so peaceful and when the clouds broke this morning there was a double rainbow over the valley. The house is decorated so cute. I loved all the artistic antique doors. It reminded me of my grandmothers house and the kids loved the pool table. I would definitely stay again maybe in the summer so we could use the pool.

Lynnette’s beautiful place was delightful! The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were comfortable, and everything was spotless. We felt so at home with the Christmas decorations and especially the welcoming pie. We hope to come back soon. Great location- close to everything!

Keith was very responsive and helpful from the moment I booked the BNB for the weekend. Very simple process and the details and instructions were very clear and easy to understand. The house is beautiful in a great location with perfect sleeping arrangements for a group of 8-9. Highly recommended booking this location for your next trip to the lake
