Holiday rentals with lake access in Jackson County

Well, my husband and I have stayed there on and off for the last six months for local work, so we know the place well. Sadly, our project has come to an end, so our most recent stay will be our last for work. BUT, we love everything about Todd and Barbie and the house, and we will be back for fun hiking weekends. Hiking, waterfalls, everything nearby. It's the best place we've stayed in the area. Private, squeaky clean, big deck, large dining room table for big meals or spreading out the paperwork, GREAT internet connection and TV options. We'll definitely be back on our own - we feel so comfortable there in every way. I could not recommend any higher - would give it a "10" if I could. Todd and Barbie also bent over backwards to help us with a couple of last-minute schedule changes. Such honest and thoughtful hosts. Thanks Todd and Barbie for EVERYTHING over the last few months. We love you guys!

Our stay at Kerry’s place was great! We love Sapphire because of the amenities like Fairfield Lake and the rec center, in addition to being close to a number of hikes. Kerry’s neighborhood had its own lake (Whisper Lake) the kids could enjoy, which was such a nice bonus. It was a great place to relax at the end of the day. The neighborhood is also walkable if you don’t mind the hills. Check out Grand Olde Station on Lake Toxaway for lunch or dinner. We had a great stay and will definitely be back!

This was such a beautiful place to stay while we were witnessing my daughter’s graduation from WCU. It was so spacious, clean, and had gorgeous views, all while being minutes away from the University. The host was so proactive with communication and instructions for check in and out. The place was SPOTLESS. It’s an unforgettable trip!

We had a great stay at Erin's home. The location on the lake was ideal, not far from the marina and had beautiful views at all angles of the home. The outside was serene and everywhere you looked were beautiful flowers. We loved our stay here and highly recommend.

We love Oh Deer 🩷 Everything was perfect and the house is everything you want in the Cashiers area!!!!

This house was super comfortable, and the location is ideal for enjoying the Tuckasegee river centrally located close to Sylva and Dillsboro. The kitchen is updated with all the amenities. The two bedrooms are comfortable and the porch is well done and very relaxing. We also enjoyed bonfires at night in the adjacent fire pit

Had the best weekend at the house, it was perfectly clean and beds were comfortable!! The cutest front patio and easy parking, would absolutely stay again!!

It was one of the best vacations I've ever had, a beautiful and complete house, a wonderful and peaceful place, lush landscapes, beautiful waterfalls, I want to go back to the same place in the summer to be able to enjoy the lakes better. I recommend it to everyone.

Alice was very responsive & helpful -she even brought a crockpot for us to use for a recipe we wanted to make. The house was very convenient to our retreat site & places for eating & shopping. It was a peaceful & quiet location & met all our needs very well . Alice also provided a delicious loaf of sour dough bread which we enjoyed gif breakfast very much!

This was such a lovely Airbnb! Squeaky clean, walkable to beautiful Lake Junaluska and just a few minutes to hiking and downtown Waynesville. You can really tell Steve and Susie want their guests to have a five star stay with so many thoughtful touches such as bottled water, coffee, tea, half and half, biscotti’s card games and an abundance of books and guides about the area. There was a private table and chairs outside for a glass of wine or a meal which we loved and the bed was so comfortable. We visit this area often and we are so glad we have found our home away from home in Waynesville. Thank you Steve and Susie for hosting us! Blessings, Steve and Amy

Solid place to stay for good value with everything needed for a week stay.

We got in late and left early, so we didn't really get to enjoy the gorgeous setting, but the place was perfectly lovely for our quick overnight. I would absolutely recommend.

This is a great spot for a family of four. The beds were comfortable. The space was big enough to spread out a little bit. The view from the deck is great as well. If you don't mind being 30 minutes away, this is a great place to stay while visiting Asheville. It's about an hour from Looking Glass Falls too. It's also a beautiful drive to the Tail of the Dragon from here. If you're coming from Raleigh this makes for a much shorter drive home after spending a day driving near the Dragon.

If you're looking for a condo in the Sapphire Valley Resort don't hesitate to book Heather's place! It was fully stocked with everything we needed and honestly the cleanest Airbnb we've ever stayed at!!! It was a super easy check in/out process, the decor was super charming, beds were so comfy, and Heather had really high quality shower/kitchen supplies. We were pleasantly surprised with all the extra touches! In addition to this we also really enjoyed the pool, lake, playground, and arcade. It was the perfect family getaway!

ms.sandy and her husband are the sweetest people ever, we missed check in by 4 hours so she was worried and made sure we were okay, upon arrival and her explaining everything to us she took the time to made sure we ate something and made us a smoothie just in case we didn’t. she has the most beautiful home and it’s exactly like the pictures. when you look over the balcony at night you see the most beautiful firefly’s, and wake up to the most brightest sunrises, you can even see the mountains in the back!! the room was so clean and spacious so we will definitely be back again and hopefully for longer!

We have stayed in many places in the area over the last year but this host has definitely topped the list! This suite is tastefully decorated and the minor touches that make it comfortable and add that personal touch are excellent. The bed is very comfortable, kitchen and bathroom are well equipped, plenty of pillows and towels too. For a studio suite, it offers a well-designed space with greater than expected room. The location and property amenities are very nice and pet friendly. Do not hesitate to book this place, it will become one of your favorites!

This is our third stay. We love coming here. Love the house and location. Always pristine clean and quick to respond if anything comes up. Near all our favorite things to do.

This is the most serene comfortable home we have ever had the pleasure to visit. It is very private, beautifully appointed, and has every convenience you need or could wish for. It is situated right in the middle of quiet nature setting on a small lake with all kinds of birds, fish, turtles and other of Gods beautiful creatures. The host was easy to communicate with and very responsive. We plan to go back hopefully for a longer stay next time. We happened to be in Cashiers to attend a funeral. When we arrived there were fresh flowers and a personal condolence card sitting on the kitchen counter. Such a thoughtful gesture. Definitely recommend and we are going back! Oh and the beds are super comfortable which means a lot to us!!!

Highlands, NC is a can’t-miss retreat. On top of that, the hidden bear cottage provided a peaceful, quiet, quaint stay. Staying nearly two weeks in the cottage provided much opportunity to utilize their fire pit, kitchen, hot showers, puzzles, neighborhood walks, etc. We would happily stay there again.

We will definitely be back. The hosts really care about your stay and make sure everything goes flawlessly.

Bear Lake is beautiful and isolated. Top notch staff, beautiful spaces and good amenities. The house was in fantastic shape and was everything advertised. The back porch is a fantastic place to hang out and enjoy a beautiful view of the mountains on the other side of the lake. A few things to consider - the road to the house is curvy and very steep. Also, cell service is very poor, so make sure to set your GPS and copy a picture with the door code before leaving the service areas.

We had a wonderful few days at this mountain cottage. The house is even better than the pictures suggest. It was extremely comfortable and well decorated. Travis was very responsive when I contacted him with questions . All in all an excellent house to rent. Thank you Travis

This was our second stay at Lake Song. The view is more beautiful than the pictures convey. It is 12 minutes to Cashiers for restaurants and shopping. Our favorite is Whiteside Brewery which is great for kids. Mandy makes you feel very welcome almost like you are staying at a close friends place. It is a very special place and we hope to return next summer.

We had a great experience here! It was just the right place for our one night stay to go to a family wedding. Owner was very friendly and helpful!
