North Carolina Mountains house rentals

This property checked every box we were hoping for during our Memorial Day weekend getaway! It struck the perfect balance of whimsical charm, cozy comfort, and a touch of luxury. After a long day of hiking, coming back to the outdoor space—with its fireplace and hot tub—was the ultimate way to relax.Inside, the home is thoughtfully stocked with everything you might need (or may have forgotten), making it feel like a true home away from home. The decor is unique, inviting, and full of personality. We brought our dog along, and were pleasantly surprised to find pup-friendly touches like dog beds, towels, and waste bags ready for use.The location is ideal—just minutes from wineries, great hikes, and quaint, delicious restaurants. Plus, there are so many amenities on the property we didn’t even have time to enjoy fully: pickleball and tennis courts, a peaceful river with kayaks and paddleboards… it really is an all-in-one retreat.We’re already planning our next stay—this place is a gem!

Great customer service! House was very clean and welcoming. Kid friendly with plenty of family games. We loved the welcome basket. Will be booking with them again soon.

This lovely cabin was very clean and stocked with everything needed for a nice stay. The river seating area (across the street from the cabin) is private and calming. Take a sweater or jacket with you to the river. The hot tub is private and a nice way to unwind after a day of hiking and exploring. Be aware that after the 2024 Hurricane Helene, there is not much to do in Hot Springs beyond hiking the Appalachian Trail, but the town is friendly and accessible. Definitely dine at the Smokey Mountain Diner and hike the Lover's Leap Trail, which are both very close to the cabin. The binder in the cabin detailing what to do nearby was created pre-hurricane, so not all options therein are currently available. The road is quiet, as it virtually leads to nowhere. It was fun to walk this gravel portion, though, as we tried to find Paint Rock. We thought four wheelers would have made it even more fun (if you have some to take). The CABIN IS ON THE PAVED PORTION of the road, so we had NO PROBLEMS reaching it, and it has flat parking. The owner is friendly and helpful if you need her, but not at all pushy. Take your own fishing poles if you'd like to fish the river. For a small but packed antique store, head down 25/70 toward Newport and shop at State Line Antiques on the right and Grandma's Blessings Thrift Store a little further on the left. We enjoyed our 3-nights of star-gazing, hiking, antiquing, and relaxing. Highly recommend!

We are the Danley’s from WV we loved everything about this cabin. The host was very friendly and was here to answer any questions we had. It says it doesn’t have a washer/ dryer but definitely does. The bed was very comfortable and there were the best pots and pans we have ever used in a cabin. We loved the quietness although the cabins were very close to each other. We travel at least twice a year to the Smokey’s and would definitely use this cabin again. It’s marked as one of our favorites.

This cabin is clean, spacious, and looks just like the pictures! We had a great time traveling in and out of Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge from here and then relaxing on the deck at night. There is no CD player (confirmed by host) and the DVD player does not have a remote (cannot be used without the remote). The living room tv is an apple tv and the bedroom has a roku.

Cabin was very clean, comfortable and stocked with all the necessary linens, cleaning supplies, and paper goods. Exactly as represented in the photos. Checking in & out was a breeze. This is the second cabin we have rented with Cyndie.

Beautiful home and fantastic lake view. The rec room on the lower level was our favorite hang out spot to play card and video games. Also used the basketball game, corn hole and ping pong table quite a bit. Enjoyed smores around the fire pit. The golf cart was awesome in regards to getting back and forth to the dock. Drive not as steep as other homes we have stayed in. Highly recommend!

My husband and I parent 3 precious kids and sometimes a quiet change of scenery is just what we need to rekindle…and this precious cabin did not disappoint. We hope to stay there again in the future. And the hot tub was wonderful! Thanks Anita!!
