Vacation rentals with lake access in Polk County

My girlfriends and I stayed at this beautiful NC house and we loved it!! It was a nice way to get away from the city and have a relaxing weekend full of board games, baking Halloween cookies and treating ourselves to an in house spa night. The house was so beautiful and we were obsessed with all the themed rooms. The hot tub was of course a hit! The house is also near great hiking spots. We did a hike inside the neighborhood and we also went to Chimney Rock State Park, which isn’t far from the house. We ended our weekend at the neighborhood restaurant which had plenty of yummy food options and beautiful scenery to take lots of photos at! We absolutely loved in and would go back again!

This house was very convenient for horse showing at TIEC. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking quick meals, and the beds were comfortable. Gray was super easy to communicate with and always very helpful. Will definitely keep this place on my favorites list for next time.

Stacy’s home was absolutely gorgeous. The setting was so peaceful with views of the lake from most every room. We were in town for a family wedding and unfortunately did not get the opportunity to enjoy the amenities as much as we would have liked. The younger adults and kids in our group loved the beautiful basement. I enjoyed how comfortable the whole house was, especially the bedding in the master bedroom. Stacy communicated quickly anytime I asked a question. She even helped suggest possible rehearsal dinner options when our original place was affected by the hurricane. If you are looking for a peaceful setting with gorgeous views, yet less than 10 minutes from Lake Lure about 15 minutes from local vineyards, this is the perfect home.

Nice place, and area. Had a few issues with the place and maintenance tried to fix them but couldn’t. Communication was good.

What a gem this place is. It’s like something out of a movie! The cutest home, beautiful scenery, private location, quiet and peaceful, exactly what we were looking for on our spur of the moment trip to the mountains. My kids loved it. It’s never easy to please everyone, but they all truly enjoyed this home. We will definitely come back again. Very friendly, accommodating and responsive hosts! Thank you for having us and being so flexible with our last minute visit. Gorgeous place. The perfect mountain getaway!

We will be back! The house was so thoughtfully appointed with everything we could need. The hosts seem to really care about their guests’ experience. We prepared and shared Thanksgiving dinner in this home and it was a delightful experience. The host even checked the kitchen before hand to make sure it was fully stocked for us. Beautiful home, tastefully decorated, and the beds were comfy! Loved our stay here.

We had a wonderful time at Jennifer’s home. Her parents, Ed and Kay welcomed us and made us feel right at home. They provided wine and delicious snacks for us and also gave us passes to Rumbling Bald. The place is right on the lake and absolutely beautiful. The inside is much more beautiful than in the pictures, as it is tastefully decorated and good quality linens and towels were provided. They had every thing available that we could need, expensive toiletries and plenty of floats and kayaks. I can’t say i’ve ever stayed at an air bnb that was so thoughtfully appointed before. We will definitely be back.

We had a great stay here! The amenities were wonderful! Our kids loved the pool and the beach at the lake. Lots to do in this area! Jamie was super sweet and very responsive and helpful! She also makes great recommendations! We would definitely stay again!

If you’re reading this, just book your reservation. Everything was perfect with my stay. This host is amazing 10/10 ⭐️

Once again, more than met our expectations! From the location, to the welcome snacks, the cozy blankets, all way to the amazing shower.....this place is AMAZING!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Linda and Robb were very accommodating. We felt right at home. Robb made some wonderful recommendations about the resort.

We’ve been to Rumbling Bald multiple times and this has been my favorite residence of all! It’s easily accessible, has tons of space, and is well equipped. But the host and her proactiveness and accessibility are what make outstanding. We absolutely loved our time there and hope to make it back again sometime!

We felt very lucky to find this place in a pinch. Our other air bnb that we booked a month+ ago had frozen water pipes. Tamera responded very quickly to our panicked, last minute booking. The place is immaculate. We had everything we needed. We were grateful for our stay here.

Excellent Airbnb in a quiet area. Will definitely stay here again in the future!

Wonderful cabin nestled in the woods. You feel secluded but aren’t far away from Hendersonville or local things to do. The cabin was great—clean, had everything we needed, and the extra touches that make it feel like home. My dog loved the huge property and I loved that it was fenced in and safe so he could run around off leash. Brian and Michele were lovely and made check in and check out easy (no crazy list of things to do when checking out like a lot of airbnbs!). Will definitely be staying here again when I’m back in the area!

This is the second trip we have made to this location over the last couple years. The location right on Lake Bowen and the large screened porch make for a very peaceful and relaxing vacation! Very well maintained and owner is super helpful with instructions and helpful tips.

The Cottage at Lake Lure provided unmatched views and a relaxed and peaceful retreat. Outdoor spaces are beautiful but unfortunately the boat house that was present at the time of booking had been taken down by the time of our stay, reducing the ability to be on the lake. Access to paddleboards and kayaks a plus and the ability to rent a pontoon was a wonderful bonus. Wifi access was spotty and phone service challenging - this provided some challenges to individuals who planned to work a remote day from the booking. Overall a great stay with fire pit, grill, time on the water, and gorgeous scenery.

This was my second visit to Marthas and once again it did not disappoint. This time we decided to book specifically for a father son fishing trip. We had a blast caught plenty bass blue gill and some catfish. I normally never catch any bass but they were pumping on my hook all weekend. Martha is always helpful very responsive and so polite she always leaves a little snack in kitchen when you enter. The furniture is cozy and very comfortable the setting is relaxing and beautiful view. The neighbors are polite great restaurants nearby and easy to drive to with many grocery stores close by the locals are so friendly and welcoming.

Great location with quick access to Lake Lure and Chimney Rock. Happy with our decision to book this cabin for the week.

Fantastic stay at Kirk’s place. The decor was rustic and comfortable! We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub. Not far from Flat Rock! We booked this for attending a concert at Flatrock Theater and it was very convenient! Kirk was so quick to answer any questions! Thanks for sharing your home with us! I’m sure we will be back!

Very good people are always attentive offered to stay due to the hurricane emergency

Wonderful stay at the happy red cabin! It’s a special place perfect for unwinding and unplugging. The town of Saluda has excellent food and lots of nature around to explore. The cabin is comfortable and clean, also private and quiet. We will definitely return!
