The Reilly Lodge on 20 acres
Absolutely wonderful stay! We had four adults and 8 kids. There was plenty of space for all of us to sleep comfortably plus more! It was a central location to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. A hot tub would be the only thing I would recommend, but other than that it had everything you could need. The kitchen was stocked with every utensil you could need and the beds were so comfy! We loved that all the tvs already were ready to watch Hulu or Netflix without having to login into your own information. The internet worked great! We will deff be considering booking again. Thank you!

Luxury Waterfront Getaway In The Smoky Mountains.
This property was perfect for a winter getaway. The home is lovely, the neighborhood is charming and the surroundings are nature at its best. We like to prepare our own meals and the well equipped kitchen met all our expectations. The fireplace provided such a nice comfy feeling. Although it was not the right time of the year to indulge in spending time on the spacious porch, being so close to the river added to the peaceful mood created by the home's interior environment. We enjoyed the opportunity to take long walks in the surrounding area. And it was a plus to have any needed services close by. This would most certainly be a place we would consider revisiting.

Highlands Lakefront Home 2 minutes from downtown!
Beautiful cottage on lake. Very peaceful and close to town. The home was clean with all amenities you would need. We so enjoyed sitting on the dock taking in the lovely surroundings. We look forward to booking in the future!

Riverfront Fishing Cabin
The place is exactly as described. Very close to WCU and worked out great during move in day. Relaxing place to stay.

Home on Lake Fontana with Private Dock
Great location and very peaceful. Extremely clean and well stocked. We stayed in the winter, so the lake was low, but we knew that going in. Parking and stairs down to the door can be a little trickey, especially at night. As others have said, dont bring a boat to the property but take it to a marina. There is limited ability to turn around. Would certainly stay again.

Single level * Amenities included * close to towns
Loved our stay here! Well furnished and perfect for our party with littles/families. Decor was great. Bathroom and kitchen were spotless. No crumbs or anything anywhere. Close to Pigeon Forget and Gatlinburg. Nice outdoor sitting area

Nantahala Lake Family Home w/ Private Dock & Views
This vacation involved checking out the area for an upcoming wedding. For the house, we wanted lots of space in the house and easy parking, bathrooms for each family group, family space to hang out, easy walking, and of course access to the lake. All of these happened plus great porch space with the firepit and also the outdoor firepit. The stairs to the lake provided a work out and planning for the day. That is the only consideration for others to be aware of, is if they have a family member that has issues with stairs. The area is beautiful and exactly what we hoped for and this home with the easy contact for any issues or questions made it a great week!

Lookout Lodge
Awesome private cabin with a great location!

Catamount River Retreat
Amanda’s place truly exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with a nice bottle of wine by the host. The property itself was immaculate and tastefully decorated, blending modern amenities with charming, rustic touches. The living area was spacious and inviting, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals. Another highlight was the outdoor space, which featured a cozy patio with comfortable seating perfect for stargazing in the evenings, or looking at the creek not too are away. The location was also a huge plus; it was conveniently situated near WCU, yet peaceful enough to enjoy a quiet retreat. Overall, this Airbnb provided an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend it!

Mountain Lake House at Rocky Point
The view of the lake from the large back porch was awesome. A peaceful place to relax and explore the lake on the canoes provided. There was a green egg on site for cooking dinner. I’d highly recommend this location!

Blue Heron Haven
Becky’s place is beautiful and impeccably clean! She was extremely responsive as well. My husband and our fur children had a wonderful time. The view alone is worth a million bucks! Will definitely be back here in the future 😊

Winsome Guest house in Trillium-Cashiers/Highlands
The house was perfect for us. We were very comfortable there. We loved the fireplace and had a fire most nights. The enclosed porch was nice for our small dog that loved sitting out there looking for squirrels!

Fontana Lake Cottage: waterfront cozy getaway!
We loved staying here! The house has everything one would need for a relaxing stay. My kids loved fishing from the dock, the legos, and puzzles- so much to do that screens were not even missed!

Waterside Home, Hot tub, Fireplace, WiFi, Dog-OK
I enjoyed this place 100%. Clean space, some privacy, extremely peaceful. Matt was super proactive in letting us know of the current events that could affect our stay, such as open fire bans. so therefore we could not use the fire pit. However, We enjoyed the scenery, the hot tub, the grill and other outside adventures. I would highly recommend staying here & I would definitely book with Matt again during a different season!

Cozy lake house
The place was very nice and was even decorated for Christmas, which was a nice surprise! There were beautiful views on the mountains and sunrises. The kitchen was well stocked and surpassed expectations. I was in town to attend the Bronco Off Roadeo in Maryville and Claire’s place was a convenient 15 minute drive to that.

Spectacular Mountain Modern Lake Glenville
You can’t beat the view! Breathtaking view of the lake to have your morning coffee or evening cocktail while enjoying the sunset. We found Linneas place to be perfect for what we needed, with kayaks for our boys to explore, fishing off the dock and only a short drive to town. The home is beautiful and well equipped for what we needed to enjoy the wonderful week on lake Glenville! Linnea was a pleasure to work with and attentive as well. We can’t wait to go back!

Great Smoky Mountains Retreat
We've stayed around the Smokey's for years and this house provided some of the best views we've ever had. A beautiful, clean home that feels very inviting. We definitely recommend and would stay again. Host made us feel right at home and was available within minutes. It was evident she wanted us to enjoy our trip, which we did!

Little Piece of Heaven Lake House
My family really enjoyed our stay here. It was quiet and peaceful, but also conveniently close to town. The lakeside location gave us something pretty to look at each day. We enjoyed sitting outside on the balcony and down by the lake to soak up the view. Thanks!

Cashiers/Sapphire Valley House - 4/4 with Views!
We had a great time! The house was incredibly well stocked with anything and everything you could need from kitchen tools to baby toys. Lots of games and puzzles for rainy afternoons. It was a great space for multiple families with plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. Loved it!!

Sunset Point
This was the most beautiful cabin I’ve ever stayed in. The lake was the perfect temperature, super clean, and not busy at all. Any was incredibly responsive and helped make the trip special. When we arrived everything was clean and as advertised. We truly loved staying here and we can’t wait to book future trips at sunset point! Thank you so much Amy! This was the best air bnb I’ve ever stayed in!

3BR/3BA House in Trillium -Adults Only
Rhonda was very easy to work with. Her charming home was comfortable and well appointed. We had lovely weather which allowed us to walk around the area easily. It was easy to explore both Highlands and Cashiers. The only little issue we had was parking which was easily remedied by parking down the hill in the church lot which my dog loved to run around in. Rhonda had some nice little extras like flash lights and a bear bell. It was a very relaxing vacation.! Highly recommend.

Woodland Cottage
Quiet location, comfortable and clean space! Kimberly is a super responsive host.

Nature Retreat on Beautiful Lake Nantahala
