Pet-friendly holiday rentals in McDowell County

What a delightful retreat! There were several times coming up the road, however, I thought I had missed a turn. Directions should say, keep going, then go some more, and then go even further. But once found and inside, it was heavenly. Comfortable furnishings. And the book explaining how the cabin was renovated was entertaining and educational. It was a terrific way to introduce Hallie & Mark. I got so much done on my book when I wasn’t staring at hummingbirds, listening to owls, or looking for shooting stars. And if there had been a chaise lounge on that balcony, I doubt I’d have gotten anything done! (Hint, hint.) thank you so much for a delightful stay!

Sarah's place is lovely and quiet, overlooking the golf course and a view of the mountains. The neighbors were delightful, which added to the charm of our stay. The place was comfortable and spacious. Great to have the extra room and bath on the lower level, which makes it even more private. If you're looking for a place in the mountains near a lake, would recommend.

Fantastic place to stay! Me and my grew are repeat guests after the first stay! We do storm work and have a crew of drivers, and the place suits us perfect. Very thankful for the fanatic response host. Dawn is phenomenal and she wants to see to it that we are all taken care of.

It was perfect for us. We wanted to be close to Wiseman’s View and this was a beautiful 30 minute drive there. Our kids loved it too. We would definitely stay again.

Great country location, at the end of a road. Beautiful mountain views. There were 5 of us, and the place had six beds. The kitchen was fully stocked. We had several campfires. There is a second outdoor kitchen area, under a large outdoor cover. Beautiful front porch with two rocking chairs. We had our morning coffees there every day of our five night stay!! Five stars all the way!!

We traveled from Wisconsin for a music festival that was going on the 4th of July weekend. After a long drive, Gigi's place was just what we needed. It's very relaxing and peaceful and we enjoyed every minute of it. If you're looking for privacy and being surrounded by the mountains, this is the place for you. There's plenty to do within a 15-20min drive. The house itself has everything you could possibly need. We definitely recommend Gigi's if you're planning to go to Black Mountain!

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!

Serenity Summit is a mountain gem! The 4 bedrooms are spaced out across the house and there are three living spaces to relax in. Open kitchen with everything we needed. Hosts were so kind and responsive to our questions and needs. There was plenty of parking space for our family coming together for our daughter’s wedding. The home is located in a gorgeous gated community with incredible views of the mountains. But…..If your husband’s dress shirt, as Father of the Bride, wasn’t packed and you realize the night before at 9:40pm…..FYI the closest Walmart is 37 minutes away and thankfully doesn’t close until 11:00. We definitely plan to come back in warmer weather to enjoy the incredible outdoor living areas at the house and the lake in the neighborhood. Thank you for your hospitality Victoria!

We felt right at home as soon as we checked in. The cabin was exactly as described... beautifully decorated, clean and had eveything we needed to enjoy our stay. We will be returning!

Overall, the stay at Blind place was great! House was clean, location was great, and Blin was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The hike down to the water is challenging and accurately portrayed in the listing. Be prepared for a steep ascent when you’re done on the water.

Our family of 7 had a wonderful stay! The cabin was very clean and looked like new. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in the area.

This place was absolutely perfect!! Exactly as described. Very clean and clutter free!

Our stay at TRR was a great experience. The place was spacious, very clean, nicely decorated, and conveniently located to downtown. The amenities were super… big refrigerator, covered carport at the door, puffy soft bath towels, gas fireplace, large bathroom, and many personal touches that made us feel at home. Thank you Ashley, and we look forward to returning next year!

This was our first time to Lake James and we are definitely coming back! The house was absolutely beautiful and perfect for our needs. It was very clean and had everything in great supply. Like others have written, the house is bigger than the pics let on. Susan was proactive with making sure we had the address, codes, etc before we arrived and very responsive if we had a question. All in all, it was a great time with the family!

Nicole's place is very quiet, peaceful and serene. Neighbors we nice and friendly. We felt right at home. Plenty of things to keep kids busy.

Amazing place and friendly responsive host! exactly what we expected with the listing and more 😁

Matthew’s place was fantastic. The views were indescribable. The accommodations were clean and comfortable - a huge plus in my book. Definitely want to affirm the need for all wheel drive to get to his place. Can’t wait to come back on a return visit!

We stayed at Bill’s cabin for 3 nights and had a great time. The cabin was well equipped with anything you may need. He even had extra items such as flashlights, umbrellas, camping chairs etc available for guests to use. The movie room was super cool and very well thought out, it even had a popcorn machine! The cabin was only a short drive from lots of hiking trails and the Linville gorge. Bill even shared some local places for us to visit and we really enjoyed them. Definitely recommend staying here!

The home is in the clouds , great views and very private, 4 wheel drive helps out , there’s a lot of entertainment and a great Hot Tub

Quant little house at Lake James. Very clean and tidy. We had a great time there went paddling with the 2 canoes that are at the property . We Would-Will come back again

Host was very quick to respond to any of our questions and concerns, and the home is very nice!

The pictures didn’t do the place justice. The view was beautiful. Firefly’s at night, birds in the morning, sunshine on both porches. Peacefully quiet! The space was perfect for our family and the kitchen was equipped for our cooking needs. Stayed cool during the day and warm in the evenings. We loved the cabin and Christy was quick to respond to any questions!

This tiny cabin was beautiful & comfy, the views and landscape (including a little stream) were awesome, and Phillip was a great host. We only stayed one night but the vibe was so positive and it stands out as one of the best nights of our travels.

Super amazing Mountain Views! Privacy in a luxurious cabin!
