Pet-friendly vacation rentals in North Carolina

What a peaceful getaway! This cabin on the river in Belmont was everything we hoped for, secluded, quiet, and surrounded by natural beauty. It’s thoughtfully tied into its surroundings and gives hints of the nearby botanical gardens, with beautiful plantings all around that made the whole space feel like a hidden retreat. The back deck was perfect for early morning coffee, with birdsong as our soundtrack. We didn’t get to use the fire pit this time, but we will be back for that! Highly recommend if you’re looking to relax and reconnect with nature.

Heather’s place was a little slice of heaven! If you are looking for peace, beauty, and still close to town this is perfect! I felt like I could stay there forever!! It was the perfect place to relax after an AT section hike! Highly recommended!!

If you need a place to get away from the traffic and everyday obligation of work and just need a peaceful reset, this is the place. From the beautiful scenery surrounding you and the sound of the river below, you can feel the stress melt away. The cabin was very clean and the bed was super comfortable. Catherine is a great host and very accommodating. We will definitely book again when we need to recharge and plan on trying to book in the fall because this place has to look amazing when the leaves start changing colors. Thanks again Catherine for a wonderful place and can’t wait to come see you and this wonderful place again.

We stayed at this location for 3 nights with a family of 6 (4 adults and 2 young kids). The moment we checked in, we fell in love with the place that was private surrounded by the nature. The sound of the nature and creek was so peaceful throughout our stay. The host went Extra mile and provided access to Internet, DVDs, a lot of games to keep us entertained. We took an advantage of the trail on the property and it was totally worth it. The host really helped us recommend some places near by to visit which was very helpful. The picture doesn’t do the justice of this great property. We’d be back.

I booked this trip to escape from work and stress and this was the perfect away for me and my dogs. It was sizable to host our family of 6, plus two dogs. Host was a fantastic communicator and the view was absolutely spectacular. I would mention, make sure you grab groceries in blowing rock or major town. GPS said 45~ minutes from Blowing Rock and we figured we’d find a grocery store. That was not the case, so just plan better than we did! I appreciated the grills and balcony, my one dog loved the space. All furniture was very comfortable we all loved it. I would absolutely recommend! I hope to return in the fall for the leaves changing colors!

Absolutely worth checking this place out. Quintessential WNC, down to the fireflies peppering the field below. Very beautifully styled home with unique spaces to enjoy where you are.

I was impressed of how spacious the home was on the inside and all of the amenities were perfect too!

Michelle's mountain cabin was wonderful. The VIEWS were better then expected. Just what we wanted. Having a morning coffee gazing at the vistas. WOW. The cabin was very warm and modern. Michell recommended a great food spot, Nocturnal Brewing. Super good, great vibes, people and pizza was divine. Our stay was relaxing, chill and what I expected. Michelle is a great host Thank you Michell for your kindness.

Perfect! Simply all you need. Clean, well designed, beautiful surroundings, communicative, and worth every penny. If you are hesitant to book, then stop wasting time. Wish I could give ten stars instead of five. Already planning my next trip.

Our stay here exceeded our expectations. The property is absolutely gorgeous and the pictures do not do it enough justice. Once inside, the home felt much larger than anticipated and had a warm and cozy feel to it. The owners went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and I can’t recommend a stay here enough.

Good communication and awesome view

We needed a place to stay for 9 nights while we were waiting to close on our new home. We were relocating from Columbia, MO to the Greensboro, NC area with two pets. We had closed on our home in Columbia 2 weeks prior to arriving at Duke’s Place. We had been staying with friends. It felt so good to arrive at Duke’s Place and have it all to ourselves! We were SO pleased when we got there. It is an adorable, quaint little home on an isolated property with a pasture. The home was beautifully decorated and very up to date. We enjoyed cooking in the spacious kitchen. I loved the beautiful soaker tub in the bathroom. There is a fenced back yard with a nice tall, wood paneled privacy fence that was perfect for our pets. Taylor is a wonderful host and was incredibly kind and responsive. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again!

We had a great time staying in this cozy cottage. Mike was very responsive and helpful with the questions we had. This is our second time staying in this duplex. Both sides are equally as great! The small fenced in yard for the dogs and being able to sit on the porch where you can hear and see the ocean is so peaceful. Would stay again!

We really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back sometime! The home looks just like the pictures and is very well stocked. There were lots of clean towels and every bed had four pillows. The walk to the dock is short but is quite steep with stairs. We didn't encounter anyone during our weekend trip, but it does appear that it may be a shared dock as the path connects to another home. The kitchen had plenty of dishes and cookware. Coffee, cream (shelf stable) and sugar were also provided. The bed was comfy, and the dedicated AC unit for the main bedroom was really nice to have. As this place is right by the lake, you should be prepared for some spiders and bugs. We didn't see anything big inside, but the kayaks had quite a few in and on them. Once we cleaned them up, we really enjoyed going out on the lake for a couple hours.

This is a great space for a couple and a pet. The studio was perfect for me and my husband and our fur baby! They have gates so he can go outside without wondering off. The patio area was wonderful for the evening rain we got at the beach to sit outside out of the rain. The hot tub was fantastic. And just a short walk to the beach. We’ll definitely be back to studio by the sea.

We absolutely loved staying at this beautiful home with its incredible views of Chimney Rock and Hickory Nut Falls from the deck & patio! Lisa & Johns place is close to town, yet it is in a gated community up the mountain so its totally private & peaceful with it's awesome mountain views by day and a million stars at night! We spent time in Chimney Rock, Lake Lure, Asheville, The Biltmore, Black Mountain and more, everything was easy to get to. I highly recommend this home!

Absolutely stunning home and majestic views of the mountains! Nancy was such a sweet host, very helpful and accommodating. She was an absolute pleasure to meet.

We had a quick stay for camp drop off. Very comfortable home and beds. Clear instructions for getting there and staying.

If you're looking for a beautiful private location for you and your family to stay on vacation this is the place. Morning walks were very peaceful and quite with beautiful views only a block away from the beach! The pool was very clean, as well as the hot tub ! We will be back !

Everything was spot on. Host was great. Cottage comfortable,relaxing. Fishing was good. Great Birthday. Thanks.

The Flyer Squirrel was a fantastic place to stay—peaceful, beautiful, and right on the lake. The location was easy to find, and the property was extremely well maintained and clean. The interior was comfortable and nicely furnished, with a great living room view of the lake and a deck perfect for summer evenings. We loved how family-friendly it was—especially the fenced yard, which gave us peace of mind with young kids near the water. There was plenty to do, but also space to relax and unwind. We’re definitely coming back again!

Best Air BnB I ever stayed in, deserves more than 5 stars. Very immaculately clean. Location was perfect - 6 mins to downtown and about 15 minutes to amazing hiking. Chad should teach all AirBnB hosts. Coms were superb. He had soft lamp lights on and music when we arrived. The location is so tranquil and safe - loved looking out BR window to see birds and white squirrel at feeder. All amenities very high end. Chad thot of everything - toiletries in case you forgot, reading glasses, books, games, bathrobes, safety kits, rain gear, bug spray, various snacks, dog treats, lots of blankets, flashlights, etc. Coffee/tea bar/frig/bathrooms had all high end and new products - syrups, choc ball, smore kits, cleaning supplies, and firewood. Loved Gus the visiting black lab. The fenced area for a dog was very secure. Internet/cell service great. Loved the bathtub. Chad labeled things for ease of use. Beds very comfortable. Beautiful clean home in a lovely setting. Outstanding !!!

The Lemon Drop was Perfect Getaway for Pet Lovers and Their Pups!  Rating: ★★★★★ Review: This Lemon Drop truly thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable for both us and our dog. Upon arrival, Zeke was delighted to find a bandana with his name, a new toy, and access to a private dog park—such thoughtful touches that made him feel right at home. The property was impeccably well-appointed for humans too, with a cozy atmosphere and all the amenities we needed for a relaxing weekend, including lemon pound cake from local bakery, snacks and many coffee options We were thrilled to discover that it was within walking distance to a dog-friendly coffee shop Overall exceeded our expectations and for those who wonder it DOES NOT smell like dogs stayed there !!!!

Place was great. Fire pit seating area with little waterfall was cool. Very responsive hosts. I would recommend getting driveway resurfaced
