Holiday rentals with a kayak in Asheville

We very much enjoyed our stay in this beautiful and spacious A-frame. Beautiful wooded surroundings and lots of natural light in the house. The home is beautiful inside as well with many thoughtful touches. The host was very thoughtful as well and even reached out to let us know we could have late check out because no one was staying the next night. We had a wonderful stay and would love to stay here again sometime!

We had a very peaceful 5-night stay at the house, which was very comfortable. It was clean, well stocked with essentials, and had high quality furniture, bedding, linens and towels. The neighborhood is very quiet and secluded. There was no cell signal for me at the house, but the Wifi was fairly reliable - though a little too slow for uninterrupted streaming of TV shows. One thing that was a little tricky was the lighting situation. Some labels on the light switches might help, as some seemed to do nothing, while other sets of lights (those above the bar, and the outdoor ones by the hot tub) were either broken or had switches we couldn't find. The filtered water from the fridge was also not working, and in the separate "treehouse" building (where the main TV is), the only functional source of heat was a small Dyson space heater.

What a great place. Brought the family for Thanksgiving. Plenty of room for everyone. Saw 4 bucks the day we arrived. We had fires, fished, played games and relaxed. Kitchen is very well stocked. Love the “second” kitchen. It sure helped with Thanksgiving. The whole house is. Thomas is a great host. Don’t hesitate to book. I bet it’s great in the summer.

I will definitely be staying at this house if we come up here again, very comfortable, clean, peaceful. Every morning we had deer in the yard. Such a great place!

This place is heaven on earth. So idyllic, quiet, lots of hiking. The house itself is cozy and well stocked. Kevin and Linda are wonderful hosts.

Beautiful and peaceful spot in a neighborhood close to town and Biltmore estate! Hosts were very friendly and provided recommendations and checked in to see if we needed anything. They provided lots of extras in the pantry and the house was well appointed and very clean.

Great place, spacious & comfortable. Lisa & Erik were very responsive & accommodating! Convenient location close to Biltmore & easy to get downtown - highly recommended!

What a lovely place to stay. Clean, comfortable, with no detail overlooked. Stephanie’s place came with everything you could ask for - it had everything you could possible need, including toothbrushes and toothpaste. The kitchen was well appointed though we did not cook this trip (except for toasting waffles and English muffins). This is the best airbnb I’ve stayed in! I would 1000% recommendation!

Jeffreys lakehouse was absolutely incredible. The view is perfect and we had a wonderful time out on the lake. Would highly recommend!

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.

Great stay at Connestee falls. Loved the views of the lake from the house and the great hiking trails nearby. Lake is stocked with fish and the kids had a lot of luck fishing. Hot tub has a great lake view for enjoying at night

Can’t say how much we love Bearcat Cottage! Always a quick response to any questions, on a rainy day played monopoly and uno, sunny days went swimming,kayaking and roasted marshmallows. My girls had a mini spa day and felt like they were in a “fancy” hotel (the slippers and robes)! Can’t wait to come back. Kitchen has everything and more!

The Lake Summit Nest, Dock and Boathouse exceeded our expectations! It was truly a place where we were able to retreat and rest amid beautiful, tranquil surroundings. The accommodations were immaculate and the kitchen replete with every tool we needed to prepare the meals we ate there. Wonderful coffee, a fridge and cabinets stocked with thoughtful purchases enhanced our experience and enjoyment. There were dozens of special touches that only an empathetic host would think to provide that made our stay more convenient and pleasant. To list them all would be impossible. Melinda is a superb host! There’s so much to do in the area, as well as being a true haven of quiet rest. The boat dock, with its kayaks, SUP boards and opportunities for water play were great. My husband had fun catching fish from the dock and the kayak. We have stayed in many Airbnbs in the U.S. and other countries and The Nest will stand out in our memories as the best!

Wonderful getaway for the family! The kids had the adventure we wanted away from the city. We had zero allergy issues, a few of us have allergy and asthma challenges and this home was clean and allergen free for us! We spent most mornings with coffee and either board games or exploring, the days on the lake with the kayaks and canoes, then nights around the fire with burgers and s’mores. Wonderful place for our family of 5. Thank you!

Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay here. There was plenty of space. There were large dining tables both indoors and outdoors. The home was well-equipped, with everything we needed. Our stay was short-term, but I was amazed by how much storage there was in the house, even though we didn’t personally use it. The furniture and beds were comfortable . Everything was clean. The carport was great for keeping us and our vehicle dry. The location was very convenient to many areas of town- it felt like we were never more than 5-10 minutes from our destination. We liked being able to walk to the college. The yard and deck were great spaces to spend time outdoors.

Lovely, beautiful, peaceful and relaxing with so much room! My little family of 4 could not have been happier here I was so blessed to have came across this place! From canoeing and kayaking to the beach and back, roasting marshmallows by the fire pit, having fun trying to fish while watching all the turtles, to the hot tub and game room we just couldn’t stop running out of things to do and the memories that will last a lifetime! We never even had to leave this beautiful place with bringing groceries on the way there and we sure did not want to leave when it was check out time! From my husband and I to our two beautiful kids we all would highly recommend this place! Brody was such a wonderful host from start to finish always fast to respond with any questions that I may of had! Again would highly recommend this place!!

Excellent home with activities for everyone of all ages! Great communication with Amy, they are great hosts

Nice peaceful place with a great hot tub! About 20-30 minutes from downtown Asheville and a few good hikes in the area. Very dog friendly and the hosts were very responsive!

This was a BEAUTIFUL space for our gathering. The house was stunning, super accommodating, and cozy for our large group. There was a lovely trail beside the house that led to a relaxing mini-spring. We loved how private it was and the community surrounding it. We appreciate the host’s flexibility and have already talked about coming back. You will not be disappointed booking this house.

We had a wonderful stay! The house was beautiful, well furnished, and stocked with everything we could possibly need. It felt like home! The views from the house are incredible...even better than the photos. The lake has a small beach that was a highlight and there are some nice trails around the property. The host was very responsive and the information we received in advance very helpful. We were especially appreciative of the host's flexibility with a special request. I highly recommend this location and would love to return.

Our second stay and it was just as wonderful as the first. Beautiful surroundings, gracious and kind hosts and a short drive to fun happenings. And be sure to buy the jellies!

Quiet and peaceful place to relax and still close to town. Great covered porch, it rained while we were there and it was nice to still be able to sit outside and enjoy the sound!

Tutto perfetto! Location, casa e BBQ! Mi sono trovato benissimo e quando avevo qualche domanda sulle attività erano subito disponibili nel rispondere. Consiglio vivamente di venirci.

This mountain home was absolutely perfect for our family getaway. We were looking for a beautiful place to stay that allowed entertainment in various areas at the same time. The three levels of this home allowed for us to spread out. The massage chair and hot tub were highly visited areas and the open concept allowed us to eat meals together. The hosts were very quick to respond to all of our questions prior to the stay and during our stay. The home was exactly as pictured. There were plenty of towels, blankets, dishes and parking for our family of 12. It was truly a peaceful place to unwind and get caught up with family. We will be staying here again in the future.
