Holiday rentals with a fire pit in McDowell County

If you are looking for a comfortable, peaceful and relaxing stay with breathtaking views, this place is for you. This house is very clean and the attention to detail is spectacular! The host is available at any time to answer any questions that you may have. 5 star rating from me and my family for sure !

Good: Thoughtful and considerate about small details people might need when they are traveling, ex- first-aid kit, female hygiene etc. Neat and clean place. Extra spares like blankets and other stuff. The place is peaceful, close to nature. Things to consider: The other bedroom doesn’t have an isolation between bath and bedroom. It would have been good to have blackout curtains near the entrance door. And actual door or some form of partition there.

Clean and very nice. The three bedrooms was perfect for our stay. Loved the treats that were laid out!

First time on lake James and it blew us away! Andrew’s home was a perfect fit for us to be able to enjoy the surroundings!

we had a wonderful few days in Old Fort. The house was private with a lovely view but within easy driving distance to Old Fort, Black Mountain, and Marion. Highly recommend!

Nice house. A little dated, but that was kind of nostalgic. Mountain views are breathtaking!!

My family and I recently stayed at Corinne’s place for Christmas as my mom lives nearby. It was a perfect Airbnb for us - absolutely beautiful house and views, plenty of space, kitchen and laundry were ideal. We did not use the sauna or the downstairs but they looked great too. Internet was fast and beds were comfy too. We hope to stay again when visiting family!

My partner and I stayed as our first little family getaway with our 1 year old. The three of us loved the cabin and the seclusion. The yard was hillier than I thought and the second bedroom didn’t have a door but we had zero complaints. Highly recommend.

5 Stars — A Perfect Stay! Allison and Cory were incredible hosts! From the moment I arrived, everything was seamless—check-in was a breeze, the space was spotless, and every little detail felt thoughtfully curated. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests’ experience. The home was cozy, stylish, and had all the comforts you’d hope for (plus a few extra touches that made it feel special). Communication was quick and friendly, and they made sure I felt welcome the entire time. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again—highly recommend!

Blin's place was spotless, comfortable and the view was stunning - Fall leaves were in full color while we were there. The bathrooms were spacious and clean - the water was hot with good pressure. The king bed in the master was supportive and comfortable. I heard no complaints about the bunk room beds the kids used. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, bowls and cooking utensils. All appliances worked well. It was muddy while we were there so we rolled up the light colored rugs so we didn't accidentally stain them. We had our dog with us and there was plenty of area for him to run and the streets were quiet for a walk along the road. There are steps all the way to the water which will be amazing for lake access in the summer. As it was cold while we were there and the lake was still recovering from Hurrican Helene, we did not get in the water. All in all it was a great place to stay.

Karen was helpful in sending recommendations and communication regarding the impact of Helene on the area. Always answered questions and put us at ease. The suite was beautiful and the amenities were nice and the views were great. Instructions were helpful. I would highly recommend this suite

Cute condo near downtown Marion. Easily walkable to coffee shops and restaurants. The space was clean and much larger than the photos. Our family of 5 fit well.

Very pretty and comfortable one bedroom unit, we didn’t think the pictures showed it justice. Enjoyed our stay and the location

Such a great space for one or two people looking for an affordable space near Black Mountain. The accommodations were pristine and the hot tub was a great amenity. Easy to find, just two miles from downtown Black Mountain.

M & J are the epitome of what I feel AirBnB is about. Having an opportunity to be in a “home away from home” vs. the impersonal feeling of a hotel. I loved that I had a space in the garage to pull right in & I felt very safe. I had everything I needed for my month long stay. It was clean, orderly, peaceful, & I had plenty of space for me & my dogs. The outdoor space was very nice as well. Margaret is super friendly & accommodating. We actually got to go on some walks & a few meals with card games & it was so nice getting to know her. However she respects your space too & everything is super quiet. It was easy to work remotely indoors from day to day but also get out & explore the area. There was plenty of cooking items, fresh towels & bedding. I had plenty of room to store my stuff and keep it all organized with the armoire, closet, roomy bathroom & plenty of hooks. Margaret was so accommodating for my dogs as well and I never felt stressed about having them with me. Can’t say enough.

I had an incredible stay at this cabin! It was spotless, cozy, and well-equipped with everything I needed. The peaceful surroundings made it a perfect getaway, and the attention to detail made it feel like home. The location was a little different than I expected, but it was still a great spot to relax and enjoy nature. The hosts were very responsive and thoughtful, ensuring a smooth and comfortable stay. Every moment was enjoyable. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again!

We really enjoyed our stay at this quaint cabin. It was cozy, quiet, easy to find, and had fun entertainment options nearby.

This was our second time spending our family Christmas Vacation at Miller High Life. Once again we were thrilled with the entire experience. The view is spectacular. The cabin is clean, well maintained and fits our needs perfectly. You are tucked away in complete privacy but close to Old Fort, Black Mountain and a short drive to Asheville. Candace is available if the need should arise to answer any questions. We love Miller High Life and cannot wait to visit again! Thanks Candace for sharing your beautiful cabin with us!

This was our 2nd time staying at the cabin. We love the location and all that the home has to offer. Thanks again for a great stay!

Beautiful cabin. Very private with great views. Definitely coming back soon

Our time at Lisa’s place was incredibly relaxing and a perfect weekend getaway. The views were amazing, the interior was tastefully decorated, and the home was much larger than the pictures show! Our favorite part was the special bottle of wine the host left for us and the great vinyl collection. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed spending our honeymoon at the cabin. Very peaceful and beautiful views.

Beautiful cabin I can’t wait to bring family to enjoy this landscape Really awesome
