Holiday rentals with lake access in Waynesville

The Lake house was perfect for us! 8 of us stayed at the house for celebrating a graduation and 10-12 of us gathered there for lunch and breakfast and it was great fit. It is literally steps away from a sweet little lake, that had baby ducks and geese when we were there in the spring and was a lovely 15 minute walk to downtown Black Mountain. The hosts were great - when I reached out for recommendations on a restaurant or caterer to help us with after the graduation lunch, they wrote back quickly and made great recommendation. thank you! Oh, and they recently added a game table and my husband loved it and we always knew were to find him, haha.

My husband and I have visited Black Mountain several times and this is by far the best place we’ve stayed. We have two dogs we travel with so having enough space and a yard are important to us. Sheryl’s place was just perfect and checked all our boxes. We loved the dog friendly separate living room and how large the fenced i. backyard is. Both the front and back patio areas were perfect and so peaceful. Lake Tomahawk is less than five minutes walking, downtown is a quick four minute drive with plenty of free parking, we visited several nearby trails and also drove up to Asheville with ease. We’ve already booked a trip back for the fall and can’t wait to visit again!

Our family felt right at home at Michael's A-frame. My husband commented that it felt as though we had stayed there before, and it really had. It has every amenity and creature comfort you could want or need, including a nicely stocked spice cabinet, plenty of linens, board games and puzzles, and a place to do laundry. Michael was friendly and helpful. Our family had an awesome time, and we hope to be back to enjoy the property in the summer months!

My family (2 adults & 2 children) took out a few days in Tryon for Spring break (March 2025). Firstly, the location and home were exactly as shown online. The location is extremely private and there was no wear and tear which made all of us feel like we were home from home. The bedrooms (3 in total) were large and spacious, the kitchen well stocked with basic sundries which allowed us to cook every night. Spending time together with breathtaking views was icing on the cake. The winner was the games room in the basement which we spent numerous hours at - pool table, giant Jenga, card game etc. Off the games room was a lovely hot tub which overlooked the mountains which was thoroughly used by all of us. Peter was extremely responsive to questions and super helpful which made us feel extremely looked after. I would highly recommend this location and I am sure we will be back again!

Linda is an amazing host and one of the most proactive communicators I’ve ever rented from. Her place is lovely clean and easy to get to would definitely rent from Linda and the space again.

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.

This is a lovely spacious home with everything you could possibly need. It is nestled in the woods and is quiet and peaceful. We had room for our family to spread out with lots of space to relax. We would love to come again!

We had a wonderful time at Harmony House. It has a great floorplan for families and the hot tub was a big hit. They really keep the hot tub nice and clean and it was great for a group chill out after a big day of activities. It is super private and well thought out for all the things you would need while in a Airbnb. They even had this cool "Atari" game that all my brothers had a great time playing and really brought everyone together. Just a precious time we will cherish. Thanks so much! Laurie & Scott you really knocked it out of the park.

Wonderful experience! I had several questions, and they were Extremely quick with their responses. They were very accommodating hosts. We were very comfortable in their home, and the scenery was amazing! The kitchen was very well stocked. It was also nice having body soap, shampoo, conditioner, and laundry detergent available, so we didn’t have to pack those, or buy them there.

Perfect spot for a night stay to see family. Very comfortable and spacious for a studio, perfect for what we needed surrounded by beautiful views. We will definitely look for their listing again when we are back in town.

Lovely place, very welcoming and comfortable. My friend and I really enjoyed staying here. There was even coffee available!

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.

I stayed at Leslie’s place for several days and definitely enjoyed being there. Her place was very cute and clean and perfect for one to two people. Love that I was allowed to have my dog with me which made it super special. Would definitely stay here again when I’m in the area.

We had a great stay at Paul’s place! Very easy to find and he allowed us to check in early. The only complaint would be that the dryer does not dry quickly and you have to dry your clothes several times. Other than that everything was absolutely great!

By far the best airbnb host we’ve ever had super fast to respond to questions and the accommodations were better than described. Beds were absolutely marvelous woke up every morning feeling better than new. This airbnb is a nature lovers dream. Highly recommend Sandy and the unit

Great Place. Exactly as described. Lots of included amenties.

This was our second time staying with Karen and Katie in Saluda! The property is beautiful and the cabin so welcoming. It really is the most perfect place to escape to for a few days!

This is absolutely the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. I love to fish and the pond didn’t disappoint, caught bass, catfish and bluegill, it was a blast. It was so quiet and we really enjoyed the space by the pond. The home was immaculate!! We are already planning another trip to go back.

Can't say enough about my stay and how lovely Sarabeth was. The cottage was truly beautiful (the art work, design, furnishings). Every detail was thought of. It was the perfect getaway in stunning surroundings. Sarabeth and her family were so warm and responsive whenever I had questions. I felt truly welcome. It's a very special place and I can't wait to go back.

Cute, cozy, felt right at home! The screened in porch and hot tub were an added bonus that we truly enjoyed.

Sylvie’s home was beautiful, filled with details that made it both functional and homey (eg, a full spice rack, and even lotion). We loved our stay and they even let us extend it for a reasonable fee. The location is amazing — tucked away with privacy, but very easy to get to all the beautiful attractions in the area. Thanks for your responsiveness and answering my questions along the way!

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!

Wonderful stay at the happy red cabin! It’s a special place perfect for unwinding and unplugging. The town of Saluda has excellent food and lots of nature around to explore. The cabin is comfortable and clean, also private and quiet. We will definitely return!

The Lake Summit Nest was a perfect lakeside retreat to relax and unwind! We had everything we could possible want - a comfortable bed, well-appointed kitchen, peaceful setting in the woods, plus lots of thoughtful extras - cold drinks in the fridge, breakfast pastries, and a basket of travel sized toiletries in case we forgot anything. The Wi-Fi and satellite TV both worked great when we weren't busy reading or watching the birds and squirrels outside our windows. It was a little too chilly for us to take advantage of the kayaks and stand-up paddle boards in the boat house, but there's always next time!
