Holiday rentals with a patio in Macon County

I loved everything about my stay at Hi-Horse! I was traveling solo for this trip for work and needed the peace and serenity of Hi-Horse. The views were magical and the hot tub was so relaxing! Tanya went the extra mile to make my stay extra special. There was a sweet note and chilled bottle of wine upon my arrival. She also created a wonderful digital guest manual that was so helpful as a guide for outings and where to eat. I would highly recommend Hi-Horse to anyone looking for a tranquil getaway and I will be back!

This was a lovely cozy place to stay in the NC mountain. It was close to town and Colleen was a great host. Would definitely stay here again!!

The owners were incredibly responsive and answered all our questions before our arrival. Once we stepped onto the property, we didn’t need to reach out again—every little detail had already been thoughtfully taken care of. The river that runs alongside the property adds the perfect touch of serenity, with the soothing sound of flowing water making the porch an ideal place to relax. The “man cave” in the garage is packed with games and full of charm—there’s something for everyone! And if that’s not enough, the living room features a full cabinet of board games for even more entertainment. We were drawn to the area by the Highlands Road Gem Show at 1602 Highlands Road, Franklin, NC. This public show is a real highlight in both May and July—always worth attending! Don’t miss Dry Falls—an absolute must-see! We’d definitely stay here again. This home had everything we needed for a truly lovely trip!

The cabin was amazing! Very comfortable and had everything we needed. Nick was very helpful and provided lots of information on things to do in the area. He responded quickly. The cabin was the perfect place to relax. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to friends!

The lake house was even better than the pictures. The property grounds were beautiful and an easy walk down to the dock. Our kids had the best time swimming from the dock and kayaking in the cove. We brought our boat and I really appreciated the nice fendering on the dock. We would love to stay at Phillips house again in the future.

Love the location and views particularly. Would book again.

Mario's place is a true mountain hideaway. Rustic and comfy with enough bathrooms for a large family. Big living room to gather in, and spacey enough to get some time to yourself if needed. The place is well-stocked and clean. The vibe is clutter free and relaxed, homey and spacious. Woodsy with lots of birdsong and no neighbors within sight of the house except way down the mountain far away. There wasn't really anything we needed that we didn't find...extra blankets and pillows, toilet paper, paper towels, shampoo, etc. There was even a chalk marker to mark our initials on our water bottles. Really can't say enough great things about this stay, and don't have anything negative to say. Mario is an excellent host and really flexible, with very few rules other than to respect his property. Highly recommend all the way around!

We stayed here before and just couldn't wait to come back. The house is a beautiful, private escape in the trees. Yet close to so many fun things to do. The kitchen is great to cook in and the views from almost every room are gorgeous. It's very clean, has lots of natural light and plenty of space to relax. We can't wait to come back!

A Slice of Heaven in the Mountains! We had the absolute pleasure of staying here and I can confidently say this was one of the most beautiful and peaceful getaways we've ever experienced. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how stunning the home and property were. The house itself is impeccably maintained, warm, and welcoming—clearly cared for with love and attention to detail. Every space inside felt cozy and comfortable, with thoughtful touches throughout that made us feel right at home. But the view—wow. Pictures just don’t do it justice. Nestled in the rolling hills, the panoramic mountain vistas from the property are absolutely breathtaking. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the porch in the morning or watching the sunset in the evening, the scenery is pure magic. It’s the kind of place that instantly makes you feel relaxed and recharged! 10/10 recommend staying here if you get the opportunity!

♥"What a great find!" - what my wife said as soon as we arrived!♥ Mike and Amber didn't forget anything in renovating this wonderful, peaceful home! Minutes away from Franklin; short drives to Highlands, Dillsboro, etc. Hiking, waterfalls, good shopping and dining - or simply seclusion and relaxation if that's what you're looking for! From the outdoor shower to the peaceful rear deck to comfortable king bed and great kitchen and other amenities, this was the perfect getaway in a wonderfully bucolic setting that we and our rescue golden retriever, Buddy, enjoyed immensely! How impressed were we? - well, we've already started planning our return visit!☺
