Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Western North Carolina

What a beautiful and relaxing place to go. A true hikers treehouse to escape to and unwind.

This is a beautiful home tucked into a peaceful little corner of the mountains. The house has all of the basics covered. The waterfalls in front of the house are beautiful and provide a constant white noise that I found to be very peaceful. However, the roar is surprisingly loud. The home is very automated (Alexa to control the lights, motioned sensing trash can, etc.) which I guess can be a pro or a con depending on preference. We especially loved all of the deck space! And I loved all of the windows that brought in a ton of natural light.

Heather and Bob’s Air BnB was beautiful and private. It was the cleanest place I have stayed in and they provided nice treats for us. The local recommendations were great. The communication from Heather and Bob was perfect. We would definitely stay here again.

This place was perfect! We felt so comfortable and relaxed. It smelled good, looked good and was really clean! The hot tub was easy to use and we took advantage each night the weather allowed. We didn’t want to leave and will absolutely stay again! Graham was very responsive and helpful. We had not a single thing we didn’t like or wished was different. If I could give it 100 stars I would. Oh yes, easy storage to unpack and “live” here for a week!

Had the most amazing time during our stay. Views were breathtaking and the cabin was more than we could have ever thought possible. Will most definitely be planning a trip back

Our stay at the Green Creek Shipyard was absolutely wonderful and exactly what we need.. a peaceful relaxing getaway! Our 2 highlights were the daybed by the waterfall and the front porch swing! And the indoor space was extremely functional and well-designed!! 1000% recommend staying here!!

I already miss The High House! From the moment we arrived, it was clear this place was something special. The porch quickly became my favorite spot—I could have spent all day soaking in those breathtaking views. We were lucky enough to visit during firefly season, and watching the fireflies put on their magical show was truly unforgettable. Our evenings around the campfire, making s’mores, were such a treat. My 9-year-old boys loved exploring the property, making new friends with the host’s sweet and welcoming children, and discovering tortoises, baby kittens, and playful sheep along the way. The beds were super comfortable, and the location was perfect for all our adventures—whitewater rafting, zip lining, gem mining, and chasing waterfalls. One of the highlights was ordering baked goods and a dinner from our wonderful host, Sharon. It was hands down the best meal we had during our trip! Our stay was pure magic, and I can’t recommend The High House enough! Thanks for the memories!

We stayed at this gorgeous home for a few days as our first family vacation since our daughter was born four months ago. We’ve traveled all over the world with Airbnb and this has been one of the best! The home is gorgeous, spacious, and clean. The view is unbelievable. We enjoyed the hot tub every evening. Everything is also very organized and labeled so that you know exactly where anything is. Steve was also very accommodating with letting us check in early! Highly recommend!

It is very cozy for a short stay. It is about 14 minutes to Grandfather Mountain. Great communicating with Amy prior arrival, she greeted us at the entrance.

Mike was a terrific host. He answered every question I had, gave great recommendations, and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. I will definitely recommend to my friends back home. 5 stars!

The place was great, even though it was a very quick stay. The mattresses were very comfortable, place was clean & inviting. My wife really admired their garden and has now decided we are adding a butterfly garden to our farmstead. We would def stay again.

Sweet upstairs unit surrounded by lovely greenery. Easy check in experience with easy going hosts that like to accommodate. Close to downtown Weaverville but down a lovely dead end road with very little traffic and pastoral views.

We stayed at Lynn’s place for a few days while visiting family nearby. We appreciated the clear instructions and easy check-in. The Airbnb was very clean and comfortable- we were able to find everything we needed with ease. There are a lot of thoughtful touches that make this place special (we loved the towel warmer in the bathroom). Lynn was very friendly and accommodating and provided a comfy high chair for our 10 month old baby. Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay in Asheville, and we're very comfortable in this peaceful setting. Kelle and Max have created a beautiful space to stay. It's very clean, well equipped, and all directions and instructions clear and helpful. Kelle is a famous communicator, and quick to respond. Many thanks to them for providing a space that enhanced our travel experience! I will be recommending this place to friends!

Our family is always grateful to stay at Mary Ann's beautiful property! We've stayed here multiple times now and hope to continue to do so whenever our travels take us through the Asheville area. This property is truly a gem - peaceful, beautiful mountain view, a tree swing, lots of greenspace for the kiddos to run around outside after long car rides, comfortable big beds, a lovely bathroom, cozy living room and lots of much appreciated extras in the kitchen like KCups and creamers, pop tarts, waffles, water and juice. And if you ever need anything, Mary Ann is super responsive. It truly feels like a respite for us along long family trips, like getting to stop at a home away from home. We love this special place! Thank you so much Mary Ann!

Susan’s place was quiet, clean, and spacious! The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of room for our dog crates inside as well as a backyard and neighborhood for us to walk with our puppies! The sectional was great for movie watching at the end of a day exploring!

Perfect stay! Great communication with the host and she was very responsive. The view is incredible. Very peaceful, relaxing stay. Just what we needed! We will definitely book again!

Nick went above and beyond to make our time at the cabin as special as possible. He allowed us to use the space for my sister’s tiny, family-only wedding and it was perfect! The views are absolutely gorgeous up there. Nick communicated thoroughly, answered any questions, and went out of his way to add special details, like a full length mirror for the bride’s getting ready room. We’re super grateful for all of his help and couldn’t recommend more his cabin for a peaceful stay with beautiful views.

Jaclyn’s place was gorgeous. It was exactly as described—spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. The view is spectacular. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything you need. The cozy living area made it feel like a home away from home. The host was very communicative and gracious. I would highly recommend the wonderful home.

Very unique stay. Very relaxing. Had everything we needed and more. If you forgot something they had it. Fire pit we forgot to bring smores, well guess what, they even had that. Had fresh eggs there for us we enjoyed the next day for breatfast. Which was a nice treat. Owner responed very quickly, to my silly problem of not knowing how to get the sink faucet to turn on. Lol Lots of nature around. Even had a friendly bird that liked to play with the mirror bird every morning and afternoon, by tapping on the outside mirrored windows. Will be back again now that we have found this very nice home. Extra bonus they have a hot tub.

A great place to visit, quiet and safe, easy to find and always willing to help, I will return on another occasion.

This little a-frame is PERFECT! My husband and I spent two amazing days relaxing and enjoying some much needed downtime. The place is adorable, clean, and really perfect for a getaway. They even left a few dog treats for our pup! And the WiFi is fabulous…in case you cannot completely disconnect. We will definitely be back!

We had a great stay at Christina’s cabin! The landscaping and views were so dreamy and relaxing! We enjoyed coffee on the porch rocking chairs in the mornings and cocktails on the swing and in the hot tub in the evenings! The bed was seriously SO comfortable and my husband and I slept better than we ever have! The drive to downtown Gatlinburg is about 25min and Smoky Mountain National Park is anywhere from 30-60min away depending on which trail you’re planning to visit. We hiked both Alum Cave and Andrew’s Bald, both of which were light to moderately challenging and had some beautiful views! If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway in the Smoky’s, look no further!

This little mountainside getaway was a dream. The giant windows allowed for the perfect mountain view from every room and the hot tub and sauna made everyday a spa day! It was also beautifully decorated to enhance the cozy atmosphere of being surrounded by greenery. Everything about this cabin was meticulous and thoughtful. The only thing missing was the neighborhood corgi that we didn’t get the pleasure of meeting, but there’s always next time!
