Cabin holiday rentals in High Shoals

We have not used AirBnB many times, but this one stands out as the best experience yet! What a lovely, clean, tidy, quaint, attractive, simple, elegant, and comfortable lakeside property this is. We enjoyed cooking meals, grilling, soaking in the hot tub, sunset cocktails on the dock. Planning to return in the future for another stay!

Jonathan is a great host! He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome — he even left some duck eggs in the fridge for us. The house is beautiful and peaceful. Highly recommend!

Looking at the pictures you would think they cleared trees for no reason. After showing up you realize you wouldn’t be able to see the miles of mountain tops without clearing what they did on the property. There are plenty of trees around to give that in the woods feel while giving one of the best views possible. Definitely not a good fit if the guest is handicapped but one of the better places if you are ok going up stairs into the cabin and the main bedroom. Waking up to a window view like this one makes you want to stay in bed longer but luckily you can have that coffee outside on the porch. I also liked the added picnic table on the porch to have breakfast and dinner outside. The fire pit has a clearing that was well planned and scenic.

Beautiful location and a great trip overall. Everything as advertised in the photos. No issues whatsoever

James and Jane were amazing. They made sure we were up to date with the area, have local restaurants near the home. Also had access to the river. They were nice and helpful and they have a lovely home.

We had a great stay here for the last couple of nights, if back in the area we would definitely stay again!

Matt's place was absolutely beautiful. It was just as described and communication was excellent. There is so many amenities in the house. Great Coffee area, King bed was very comfortable. The property was beautiful and quite. House was clean. We loved staying there and would highly recommend and would stay there again.

LOVELY HOME AND HOSTS! HAD THEM A MESSAGE AWAY. THE HOME LOOKED JUST LIKE THE PHOTOS, BEAUTIFULLY DECORATED AND 15 MINS TO EVERYTHING, THE HOTTUB AND FIRE PIT WERE READY TO GO AND THEY WERE VERY NICE! WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND AND STAY AGAIN.

We found this property so well appointed with all of the necessary items we might have lacked. Because of its location and the possibility of being stranded due to in-climate weather, Jason has stocked many items of which a person might need in the event they didn’t bring enough supplies for a few days. We looked at the food items that are stored as being a backup in the event we were stranded for a few days. Fortunately, for us, we over supply ourselves because other properties we have utilized were completely less supplied. We found that all the bases were covered for food, spices, dishes, snacks, as well as things like the barbecue grill and outdoor fire pit. We were very impressed with how the house was supplied and set up for a renter. It was almost like we walked into our own home with supplies existing. We were glad to have this wonderful experience, and would consider it in the future again.

I had a truly lovely stay at this chalet. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by how clean and well-maintained everything was — spotless interiors, fresh linens, and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The peaceful surroundings made it the perfect place to unwind and disconnect. It felt like a little slice of nature's tranquility. What really stood out, though, was the host. Warm, attentive, and genuinely kind, they made sure I had everything I needed without ever being intrusive. Their local recommendations were spot on, and it was clear they put a lot of thought into making guests feel at home. If you’re looking for a serene escape with top-notch hospitality, this chalet is a fantastic choice. I will absolutely return.

Pictures don’t do this place justice! I got to see my first live wild bald eagle on the first day and was infatuated ever since! Saw many Osprey and Cranes! Loved the beautiful creek front property. Some of the clearest water. Clay’s place is everything we look for and need in an Airbnb plus more. He was very kind and communicative. We hope to book here soon again! Thanks Clay!

Very fun decor, like being in an antique shop! Great kitchen and spacious bedrooms. Fenced in yard! On the grounds of a working farm and petting zoo which was fun to see! Not toddler friendly. There is a lot of antique style decor at low levels, definitely not child proof. But wonderful for adults or older kids!

This is a great location if you are going for Lake Norman. There is great boat parking and is close to restaurants and grocery. Highly recommend

What a great place. Cabin was easy to find on a very quiet road. It was a very peaceful and relaxing location. The creek is beautiful. Jacob was quick to respond to any questions and he was very helpful and informative. I’m looking for to staying here again.

We had a wonderful stay at this peaceful and private A-frame cabin! Tucked away in a serene setting, it was the perfect retreat to unwind and recharge. Our pups felt right at home and loved exploring the quiet surroundings. We truly appreciated the privacy and calm atmosphere, and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a tranquil getaway with their furry companion!

We loved our stay at the cabin! We didn’t want to leave. The deck is a beautiful spot for morning yoga. Dog friendly was a huge plus. I hope to stay again when I’m in Granite Falls.

We had a fantastic stay at this cabin. It’s a great location to take day trips and go out for meals. The home was in great condition and had what we needed. Danielle was very responsive. The pontoon boat is an amazing feature to have and we enjoyed taking it out. The hill to get to the lake from the house was quite steep and may be difficult for some people to navigate - just something to be aware of. The actual home / host / experience were all excellent!

There isn’t enough space to say everything that is marvelous about this gem on the lake. They carved this space out of gorgeous woods so carefully, you’re surrounded by lush forests and birdsong. The water is cool and clear , and the shore is so much more firm than other NC lakes. Makes it easy to ease into the water before the dropoff to accommodate a boat. And since it’s a natural lake, you don’t have to worry about fluctuating lake levels and consistent depth for hopping off the dock. Their offering of kayaks was a selling point, and we had such a great time going up and down the waterway. Boat traffic wasn’t bad, even on a beautiful Saturday. The deck is so deep and wide, it was a close second for my favorite spot. On a clear day, be sure to enjoy sunset on the dock! Pack light and enjoy the bliss that is a purposeful, uncluttered space. They provide everything you need for a perfect stay!!!

Alicia & John were lovely hosts. Kitchen was well stocked with everything needed for cooking meals. There were extra towels & washcloths for our family of five. Lots of great info in their guest binder. Covered pier was an amazing place to spend mornings & evenings. Thanks for a fabulous stay!

great location, close to many small towns, or big if you wanna deal with that. me I'd prefer the smaller ones. very comfortable stay!!! we enjoyed being by the fire pit the most perfect weather for that!! very cabin feel, just what we were looking for. thanks for a great 4 days.

We had a wonderful stay - peaceful, quiet and incredibly comfortable. The space was spotless, thoughtfully decorated and full of calming touches that made it easy to relax. The beds were very comfortable, and I slept deeply every night. The surrounding are was beautifully quiet, offering the perfect escape from the noise of daily life. Samantha, the host, was responsive and respectful. Everything was seamless from check-in to check-out. This stay was what we needed! Highly recommend for anyone seeking rest and tranquility.

This cabin was very beautiful, I felt as if I was in the mountains. The area was very peaceful and serene. I will absolutely be booking this place again.

What a great representation for Lake Norman honestly felt lucky to stay there. I’m definitely coming back.

It was a delight to spend a few nights in this darling cabin with such a spectacular view from the back porch. Everything was as described by the host, and I would definitely stay here again!
