NC Mountain House | Mountain Views, Hot Tub & EV

KarinaRating, 5 stars5 days ago
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!

Steps Away Cottage - Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Downtown

HannahRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This is the second time we have stayed here and it wont be the last. The house is located right behind Main Street, so you can easily walk to all the restaurants, bars, and shops. We love coming here in the winter for skiing (only 30 minutes from Cataloochee Ski Resort). The house has a hot tub and fire pit to warm up in the chilly weather. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and the house is always so clean/well stocked. I highly recommend!

Creekside 1920's Farmhouse

CoryRating, 5 stars4 days ago
The farmhouse was a great place to stay! It is in an absolutely beautiful area and a great place to relax on the front porch or in the hot tub at the end of the day. The WiFi was essentially non existent, so if that is a need that would be an issue, but that was the only potential drawback.

Beautiful location and a beautiful cabin on the mountain. It was perfect spot for our family of four to stay and centrally located for our events. Beds were comfortable. Hot tub was clean and perfect. House was spotless and well thought out. Make sure to bring coffee as this is not provided.

New Mountain Cottage w/Hot Tub, Firepit, Fireplace

MaryRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The Honey House was beautiful and immaculately clean and in a perfect location just a few blocks from the main street in Waynesville. It had everything that we needed and was a welcome refuge for us while we visited with a dear friend who was in hospice nearby. We totally enjoyed having our evening cocktails on the front porch while we watched the spectacular mountain sunsets. We also loved the hot tub. I wish that we could have stayed longer! David was a responsive and kind host and we appreciated all that he did to make our stay so wonderful.

A Great Riverbend Escape

CarolynRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Always a 5-star place to stay. We have family in Franklin and always want this house and are very disappointed if it is already taken. Quiet, peaceful location. Easy to get to. It's always neat and clean, decorated so beautifully. Plenty of amenities. We've stayed in other houses (when we couldn't get this one) and the host only provided 1 dishwasher pod, 1 laundry pod, 1 trash bag, etc. - certainly not enough for a weekend. Cherisse is always available and helpful. A perfect host.

Dogwood Haven - Green

JenniferRating, 5 stars21 months ago
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!!!!

Charming cabin in Smoky Mountains.

CallieRating, 5 stars2 months ago
My family and I loved staying at Eva’s house! We stayed here for a month while looking for permanent housing and we couldn’t ask for a better place! It’s beautiful inside, very warm and homey feeling and the covered porch is so peaceful to sit and watch the birds and squirrels. Our son loved the basement area, while my husband and I loved the privacy and the trees, very peaceful and relaxing.

Twin Ponds: Intown Highlands, 5 min to Main st

CarolineRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We loved staying in Lei’s beautiful home for our girls’ weekend. There was plenty of space for all 10 of us to spread out. The house is in the most convenient location for exploring trails and downtown, and Lei provided us with the local happenings for the weekend, which was great. The kitchen was stocked with everything we could have needed for cooking meals at the house. We happened to stay over an extremely cold weekend, and unfortunately ran into an issue with the pipes being frozen when we arrived. Lei was extremely responsive when I reached out and had someone local come by immediately to check out the house and solve the problem quickly. She was such a great host and checked back in throughout the weekend to be sure everything else was going well. Thank you, Lei! Highly recommend staying here for your Highlands vacation!

Fernanda was the perfect host! She was very responsive to any questions and requests that we had. The home was perfect! The pictures do not do it any justice. It was a perfect location and super peaceful. The home was secluded and very clean. This was honestly one of the best homes that I’ve stayed at. Thanks for being such an amazing host, Fernanda! I will be staying again. 10/10 — I highly recommend!

Creekside Haven-Fantastic Location, Heated Pool!

OlgaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We loved our stay at Creekside Haven! The cozy cabin had plenty of space for our family to spread out and to hang together. The push button fireplace is wonderful! The sound of the rushing creek was lovely. We greatly enjoyed the heated pool on rainy days and “apres ski”. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Being so close to Cataloochee was very convenient! There’s lots of cute little shops and places to eat. We had great meals at Joeys Pancake House, J Arthur’s, Catrina’s Cantina, and Beach Mountain Diner. Overall, our Maggie Valley trip was awesome, we will be back, and we would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone planning to visit!

Sapphire Mountain Secluded Hideaway

MarianneRating, 5 stars9 months ago
We traveled to John’s place from Louisiana with three young kids - 5, 3, and 1. We could not have picked a better house to meet our needs. The house was impeccably clean and had so many little extras like laundry detergent and a few key spices. The kids loved the playground and we loved that the house was one story, totally eliminating the stair fear factor with the toddler. We cooked many of the nights we were in town and the house had absolutely everything we needed, down to tin foil to make clean up easy! The location was great - we made day trips to Brevard, Cashiers, Clemson, and the Highlands. We have already recommended this place to friends looking to plan a family vacation to the area. One of our favorite stays yet!

Sapphire Daze - an amazing view, with a cottage!

LisaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
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.

POTTS POINT AT LAKE JUNALUSKA

MaryBethRating, 5 stars4 months ago
My family and I were very impressed with the house! We visited for Thanksgiving and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils and cookware. Lynette even left a very yummy apple pie on the counter for us! The house was cozy and clean. Beds were comfortable. The WiFi worked well. There was plenty of space for the 5 of us and could easily accommodate a few more folks. We would love to stay here again!
