Mountain Cabin-Hot Tub, 1/4 mile off BR Parkway

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 102 reviews3 weeks ago

Easy to find location. Home matched the description. The instructions to the AC/heating units was very helpful, and all the amenities were in great shape. It was also really helpful to have the checkout instructions posted on the wall, which made checkout a breeze. The home was also clean upon check-in. Great, secluded and peaceful location near multiple hiking trails. Was perfect for a quick weekend getaway. Just be aware the neighborhood area is not super walkable. No sidewalks or shoulders. But there is so little traffic on the back county roads that safety while walking is not a concern. I walked my dog first thing in the morning, and cars always have us gave room as they passed on the local neighborhood rural roads.

Monarch Mountain Cabins Cabin B Southern Comfort

5 out of 5 average rating, 7 reviews1 month ago

This is at least my 20th Airbnb and by far the nicest! Everything was so well thought out, so well appointed, just perfect. From blankets out at gas fire pit, to pillows and blanket greeting you on front porch swing, to high, high end bedroom luxuries, individual toiletry packets for each day, mini waters and Sunny Ds in fridge, a snack chip bag basket, granola bars and oatmeal packets, heck Brenda even has pancake mix in a jar with syrup! Your outdoor space is awesome, private hot tub patio with comfy seating and lights, another grilling and dining area, and the aforementioned GAS fire pit area with Adirondack seating, cornhole and horseshoes! This IS a tiny house (or two if you rent both) but it's huge on space, flow and comfort. We cannot wait to book both units and have our girls and their husbands join us for hiking, playing, grilling and games. while we plot how to manifest this business plan in our own futures. Absolutely stellar.

Ridge Top Retreat- Mtn & Lake Views, Watauga Lake

5 out of 5 average rating, 10 reviews4 months ago

The house is such a gem!! It was perfect for our family of 9 for Thanksgiving. We could have never left the house our entire trip because the main level is so cozy and comfortable. There is plenty of games and puzzles to keep everyone entertained. My son loved the little nook area with the bean bag. There is plenty of space to spread out with the 3 different living room areas. If you want a good workout - go for a walk! The house is at a higher elevation in the neighborhood, so you will have to walk down and back up. We hiked to Laurel Falls - that was another workout! Be prepared to drive a little ways to the grocery store. We brought most of our groceries but needed a few things and the next town is 25-30 minutes away. (Of course, there is always Dollar General that is closer!) Not many places to eat out. The first night we went to the Trading Post and the food was good and the people were so friendly, we stopped back in on our way out to say goodbye!

Beautiful cabin, responsive host, games on site that we loved, great fireplace, kitchen very well equipped w/ spices etc. Bathroom is sparse, two rolls of tp and no shampoo/conditioner. Roads were totally impassable so we had to cut our trip short and only stayed one of the two nights we booked. We thought 4WD would be enough, but your really need chains if there's anything on the road; the neighborhood isn't plowed or salted at all. Host did recommend both 4wd and chains.

Stunning Mountain Stream-front Cabin near Boone

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 27 reviews7 months ago

The place looks just like the pictures. The owners were very kind and accommodating. We loved our mini vacation. The kids enjoyed running in the backyard, making smores at the campfire, playing in the creek and relaxing in the hot tub. The views were beautiful and it was very peaceful. The little market is 7 minutes away and has great cheeseburgers and onion rings. For grocery type items I would recommend driving 10 minutes to the Dollar General. Thank you for a lovely stay, we’ll be back!

Heather’s place is a gem. It is beautiful and has a crazy amazing view! The house was super clean and had everything we needed. One extra thing to note: my wife uses a manual wheelchair and had no difficulty getting around the house. She is able to transfer into a tub, so that worked out well. Heather was also great about informing us of wheelchair accessible activities to do in the area, including a beautiful paved trail by a river. It was a wonderful weekend hanging out with family, and Heather’s place had a lot to do with it.

#1 Rated Cabin in Northern Asheville~Views~Hot Tub

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 133 reviews1 month ago

This is a great spot! I would book again. We were in a bind when we booked, due to power outages in the area and they were quick to help us book. My only negative feedback is the additional verification and fee they add before confirming the booking. Guest have to go off site and pay an additional $50. I think they should end that practice.

Romantic Cabin-10 Acres Hottub

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 17 reviews1 month ago

Adam's cabin was very clean, quiet, comfortable, and we felt right at home. If you love the hills of NC and appreciate a good cabin, this property will make your heart happy. It is open, bright, and had everything we needed. As with many rural locations, your navigation system may take you to the road below the ridge the proprty sits on. Just read the directions provided by the host and you won't have any trouble finding it. Hot Springs is close by if you feel like you'd like to people a bit. The local outiftter, Bluff Mountain, is awesome and Big Pillow Brewing is a great place to grab some tasty food and a good beer.

This place is just wonderful! The cabin looks even better in person than in the pictures. And smelled amazing haha. The area around the cabin is still somewhat recovering from the Helene floods, but they’ve done a ton of work to get it back to its original state. The springtime will bring back a lot of growth I’m sure The kitchen was well stocked for cooking, which we appreciated. There were amazingly soft robes and blankets to relax in. Easy access to Linville Gorge and its trail system, if you’re looking for hiking in the area We spent probably too much time in the hot tub listening to the water. So relaxing. We will be back again for sure!
