Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Macon County

We had a lovely stay at The Rusty Nail. The cabin was clean, cozy and had everything we needed. We were fortunate enough to even have a early morning rain that sounded wonderful on the tin roof. It was a great weekend spot for my husband and I.

Amazing house! Beautifully decorated. Loved the outdoor porches. Felt secluded and peaceful but so close to downtown. Honestly, it could not have been more perfect for us. We didn’t want to leave! Super clean. comfortable beds, nice linens. Host was responsive and accommodating … would give 10 stars if I could.

Absolutely perfect. We stayed for the week with our five kids (6,4,3, & 1 year old twins) and had an amazing family vacation. The space worked perfectly for our needs as a large family with small kids and the beach area was especially perfect for toddler playtime. The waterfall across the way was stunning and we loved boating around, fishing, swimming, fires by the lake, and rainy evenings in the hot tub. Such an amazing place for families!

This was our second time staying at Cynthia's (one time each in Blue and Green), and it won't be our last. Everything we could have possibly needed was there, and the house is lovely. We and our dogs loved all the porches, screened-in porches, patios, and yard. Cynthia's a wonderful host!

We had the best weekend at the cottage. Easy, quick drive to downtown highlands. Some highlights - The pizza oven was great for making pizzas, grill was fantastic for grilling steaks, fire pit for s’mores and the Hot tub was used several times. The kids loved the bunk room. The house was beautifully decorated and we felt right at home. We hope to be back soon!

We enjoyed our stay at The Windmill Cottage, Marlene has done a great job of adding all the right touches to make it feel like home. The beds had linens that were hotel quality. Thank you for having us!

We had a great time in Franklin. Enjoyed our stay. We love the house and the dogs love the yard.

Joan's place had everything! I've stayed at over 65 Airbnbs and this was definitely in the top 3. if you have the luck of finding it's available, just book it!

Belinda and Ben were great host! The home met our needs as we were waiting to close on our home. The space worked well for my husband who was working remotely and also for the visiting grand kids. The home is simple bbut had everything we needed.

Holly was extremely responsive and helpful. The cottage was much cuter and cozier than the photos depict. It was very quiet and tucked away in the beautiful NC mountains. The parking spot is a little short, but our minivan did fit. The road to the cottage is dirt and could be a little challenging for a small low riding vehicle. We did not have problems. We love the country so we took these things in stride. She had many small additions that made arrival and the stay special like caramels, tea, and coffee choices. You could tell by these additions and her exemplary communication that she wanted our stay top notch! We would highly recommend this cottage.

Our second stay at Debi's beautiful b&b was great! We're grateful for her and her space, sharing the nature and peace with us. Can't wait to return for a third time :)

This is at least my 3rd time visiting David's place. Amazingly peaceful, comfortable, restful spot. I knew I would get the peace I needed. You would never know they are upstairs, unless you wanted to chat. This is a mountainside gem.

This is the perfect Airbnb for a vacation in the mountains! I have stayed here twice and will be back again! The house is very comfortable and has everything you need. Sitting in the hot tub at night is very relaxing and you can see so many stars out. Be sure to explore all of the waterfalls in the area to!

My family and I had such a wonderful time at Hunter and Emily’s place. The location is so pretty and also convenient to downtown, which had great shopping and food. The house itself had everything you needed, and more. Our dogs enjoyed their stay just as much and were able to swim in multiple waterfalls. Thank you for letting us create lifelong memories at your place!

The cabin was adorable and very private. Loved the covered and screened in porch to sit and chat. Also loved the pasture next door where we saw 4 cows.

Our stay at Little Bear Creek was delightful ! The house was immaculate with so many surprises- a basket with s’mores supplies, extra chips, lots of spices, extra beach towels, picnic blanket and cooler, shampoos and conditioners, lots of games for kids and adults and even the cloth tablecloths was a nice touch!! My grandchildren loved the creek area-especially the tree phone! The beds were comfortable and the addition of multiple charging ports in each room was very helpful. Patti was quick to respond to my messages. We thoroughly enjoyed being there! Thank you for providing such a wonderful place for our annual mountain trip with our grandchildren!!

Absolutely breathtaking! This cabin in Franklin, NC exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the unreal mountain views—every sunrise and sunset felt like something out of a postcard. The cabin itself was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully designed with everything we needed for a peaceful, relaxing getaway. We especially loved sitting on the deck in the mornings with a cup of coffee, just soaking in the view and the quiet. The location is perfect—secluded enough to feel like a retreat, but close enough to town for groceries, hiking, and local spots. The hosts were kind, communicative, and made check-in a breeze. If you’re looking for a serene mountain escape with million-dollar views, this is it. We’re already planning our next trip back!

The cabin is a wonderful escape in an absolutely beautiful setting on the river. It was our first trip with our infant and we felt right at home and preferred to stay in the cabin instead of venturing out most days. We cooked most meals at home and the kitchen had everything we needed. Bettina, the house manager, was very kind and helpful. Peaceful, private, perfect! We hope to return soon!

My family and I stay for a week and we had the best time ever, enjoying the outdoors. can't wait to go again. Judy was amazing! she give us great directions including and app that we can use to go around because signal its very week in some areas, with very detailed instructions on how to set it app and use. I recommend it 100%

Lovely place, felt right at home from the start. House layout was great, with plenty of privacy and cozy common spaces. Hosts were very responsive leading up to and during our stay and you can tell they truly care about the place. My 4 year old loved the bunk beds, a pack & play and a high chair were provided for the 1.5 year old which was nice. Driveway is steep but manageable - for reference, our Kia Caravan is not AWD and we needed to roll back and start over the first time (host DOES warn you that you need 4WD/AWD so it's totally on us) but Honda CRV has no issues going up and down. Highly recommend visiting the Road to Nowhere - unique story and an easy to moderate hike at the end even with small kids. Quaint nearby towns of Sylva and Bryson City were a treat as well. Overall a great memorable experience.
