Holiday rentals with a kayak in Cherokee County

Dave was an incredible host and his place was amazing! He provided so many extras that made the stay even better—firewood, charcoal, kayaks, life vests, paddle boats, and pool toys. I was genuinely impressed by how much was available to enjoy. Dave was also very responsive and made a point to introduce himself when we arrived, which made the experience feel even more personal. He even helped us get set up with a pontoon boat rental! The only small suggestion I have is to consider covering the firewood—after it rained, it was a bit tough to get a fire going. Overall, I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway from reality. We’ll definitely be back!

The house was bigger than we expected. The yard to the dock was an easy walk. Quite. Screened in porch was excellent! We had a great stay!

Our family of 5 absolutely loved this place! It was extremely well stocked with everything you could need; charming and well cared for. A great location right by the pool, which was so handy with kids wanting to swim every day. The pool and hot tub are SO nice! The lake views were absolutely lovely, and the grounds very well cared for. The owners checked in upon our arrival (via text) to make sure we were settled in, which was kind. There are several homes on this property, but we never felt a lack of privacy. We hope to come back and bring family or friends! The perfect lake getaway property.

We had stayed at this AirBnB in 2023 and had so much fun that we decided to come back. My friends and I wanted to take a weekend trip before everyone was graduated and off doing their own things and this stay was perfect for us! Although the weather wasn’t what we hoped for, we made the best of it and had a great time. We love this place and will most likely be back again, thank you!!

Fantastic stay! The Effie house is absolutely adorable and had everything we needed to be comfortable. The surroundings are beautiful, with views of cotton fields and Lake Weiss; sunsets over the water were amazing. John and his wife were so hospitable and readily available anytime something came up. Highest recommendations!

TOP TIER! My husband and I decided to go on an impromptu getaway for our anniversary. Because it was so last minute, we expected all the “good spots” to be booked. We came across Dave’s spot and thought it was too good to be true. It was everything that we needed and more. It was so tranquil and quiet, and there was adequate parking for our boat. The hosts were so hospitable and left little room for confusion. It’s as if they anticipated our questions before we had them. My family and I lodge in Cedar Bluff quite often to fish, and we have never found such a beautiful spot with so many amenities. We look forward to bringing our children back this summer to enjoy the pool and games.

Our family has been to Lake Weiss for years. Everyone loved this house and the amenities😁 All requested that we return for next summer! Needed to call our host once and received an immediate response. Our stay couldn’t have been better!!!

We had the best getaway! Plenty of space for our family, beautiful pool and views, and we loved kayaking each day! Our boys are already asking when we will return and we can’t wait to make that happen.

This cabin at Starlight Haven was absolutely perfect and gorgeous! It was perfect for a romantic getaway for my husband and I without dealing with a long car ride to a secluded location. It was nice to be able to bring our dog along with as well without any ridiculous extra pet fees of any kind. I would definitely book with Starlight Haven again in the future!

My husband and I loved the A Frame cabin for our little get away. It was very clean and well stocked with all of the essentials. It was right on the water and we loved the hottub and kayaks. There are other cabins closeby but we still felt we had privacy. The only thing I'd say to be aware of is that the A Frame is very small there's not much room to lounge around inside. Also if you are going to be there in off season or mid week and plan on eating out you may want to do some research beforehand to see what will be open. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and plan on being back!

The place was exactly as the pictures show. Perfect for a weekend get away. Just a nice place to go when you need a change of scenery without having to break the bank. I will definitely be booking again. Thank you guys for the weekend.

We had a great time. The cabin was very clean and spacious with plenty of sleeping and seating areas and lots of windows. The back view was nice with the river flowing by. You can use the deck or stand inside looking out all of the windows to watch the river. You can also walk down the hillside to the chairs by the river and even build a fire in the pit. We got to watch a group of kids paddleboarding by. The available canoe was a plus for us.

This place was amazing. Had everything we needed and more! My little girl loved the outside area, the swing set, tree swing, games in the outdoor seating area, and the dock. We felt right at home and appreciated the recommendation last for food and the drive in! We could not have found a better place to stay!

This is the first place we have stayed that we didn't have a single complaint. Everything went PERFECT. We loved kayaking, fishing, and just relaxing in the swinging chairs soaking in the peace and quiet. The hot tub made everything feel luxurious. All the neighbors were friendly and respectful. The cabin is small but the space is utilized perfectly with all the necessities for cooking or relaxing while you watch some TV. The bed was comfy, with the best pillows I've experienced on a trip (we pack our own but didn't need them). Little River Canyon is a must! We are already planning to come back and stay again!
