Holiday rentals with lake access in Transylvania County

My family loved our stay at Wilstone! The home is lovely and pristine, with a warm and inviting family lodge feel. And the view is amazing! My teenage children enjoyed the downstairs rooms with private bathrooms and we all had fun playing pool. It was a fantastic set up for us! We’ve already agreed we want to go back!

Our stay at Kerry’s place was great! We love Sapphire because of the amenities like Fairfield Lake and the rec center, in addition to being close to a number of hikes. Kerry’s neighborhood had its own lake (Whisper Lake) the kids could enjoy, which was such a nice bonus. It was a great place to relax at the end of the day. The neighborhood is also walkable if you don’t mind the hills. Check out Grand Olde Station on Lake Toxaway for lunch or dinner. We had a great stay and will definitely be back!

The lake house was absolutely perfect for our family vacation! It had everything we needed to feel comfortable and truly at home. The space was cozy, well-equipped, and peaceful. Our host, Ethan, was so responsive and kind—he made everything easy and welcoming. We’d happily stay again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Very clean and in a great location

This place was so fantastic we are starting a new tradition of staying here! Easy access to the lake, the amenities were FAR BEYOND expectations and the proximity to local parks can’t be understated. Don’t look elsewhere, just book this location and you will be very happy.

Our stay in Brevard was absolutely amazing and the accommodations were truly incredible. Dominic and Katy were perfect hosts and very responsive when I had a question. The place was immaculate, beds were very comfortable, pillows were great, and linens and towels were pristine and crisp! The house was equipped with everything you could need. The community is beautiful with great amenities, lakes, and hiking trails which we took advantage of for sure!! We ventured into beautiful downtown Brevard and the Pisgah National Forest exploring the many waterfalls This will be my go to house when I take my next trip to Brevard!! Thank you Dominic and Katy for sharing your beautiful home and being amazing hosts!! Until the next time!!!

Our stay at Breanna and Danielle's "Home in Sapphire" was nothing short of magical. Nestled in breathtaking surroundings, this gem is perfectly located on the water, offering stunning views that made every moment feel like a postcard. The home itself was incredibly clean, reflecting the hosts' attention to detail and care for their guests. Each room was wonderfully decorated, combining elegance with a cozy charm that made us feel right at home. The furniture was exceptionally comfortable, and the beds provided a restful night's sleep after our days of exploring. We truly enjoyed our time at "Home in Sapphire" and left with our hearts full and spirits lifted. We can’t wait to return to this beautiful haven again!

Jake’s Gem was fantastic! My family stayed for the week of Christmas. We watched nightly Christmas movies as a family in the cozy living room with soft fuzzy blankets on the big screen hung above the fireplace. We visited many local restaurants that were a short drive from the house. Also, we visited the pool/hot tub and game room at the Sapphire Valley Resort multiple days, which is a few minutes drive from the house. Jake was a wonderful host and very responsive to my messages offering great information!!

This was the nicest Airbnb we have ever stayed in. It was small, but had everything we needed to enjoy our week. It was nice to be able to cook some of our meals in the well supplied kitchen. Everything was very clean and neat, and the surroundings were beautiful. We were able to spend time with Steve and Susie and they were very helpful and enjoyable. The only problem we had was finding the home on the first day, but this was due to road construction that blocked the way into the residential area. We had to come through the main gate of Lake Junaluska and stop for directions. The neighborhood was very nice and we enjoyed walking around the lake and just sitting, enjoying the scenery. We hope to someday return and enjoy this lovely apartment again.

Solid place to stay for good value with everything needed for a week stay.

Carolyn was a very attentive host, her response time was very quick and she was very accommodating! I enjoyed her place as it was very cozy and such a relaxing atmosphere. There was lots to do in the area as far as outdoor activities and the nearby town was gorgeous. Highly enjoyed my stay, and I highly recommend!

My family and I absolutely enjoyed our little getaway here. The first night we woke up to it being over 85 degrees in the home but Tami was quick to respond and immediately had two window A/C units placed in the home to keep it cool. We are already talking about our next adventure and staying at this location again! Thank you Tami for allowing my family to celebrate the Easter holiday here!

We got in late and left early, so we didn't really get to enjoy the gorgeous setting, but the place was perfectly lovely for our quick overnight. I would absolutely recommend.

Overall a really beautiful and peaceful spot that checked all the boxes for what I needed for the week. Super comfy and cozy. Had a really lovely stay, and Paul was super responsive. Definitely will be looking to book here again when I return to the area in the future!

This is an amazing place!! Beautiful view, great place to sit outside, close walking path, quiet, comfortable and nicely furnished. It was just so perfect!! Fell in love with the apartment and Lake Junaluska. Cannot say enough about what an exceptional place this was!

Great location I will certainly miss being able to walk right down to the lake. Leslie is a phenomenal host and did a great job of communicating and taking care of any things that came up during our roughly 8 month stay. she was also very accommodating in helping us and other tenants that were impacted by hurricane Helene. kudos Leslie well done!

This was our second time staying with Karen and Katie in Saluda! The property is beautiful and the cabin so welcoming. It really is the most perfect place to escape to for a few days!

We had a wonderful time. The house is beautiful. A peaceful and relaxing location while close to things to do. The house had everything we needed and more. Lake Keowee is beautiful. We’ll be back!

Great spot for a family getaway! The home is perfectly located for enjoying the nearby state park and exploring the surrounding area. There's plenty of space both indoors and out to relax, with two large and very comfortable rooms-each with its own bathroom-which made things super convenient. The basement has been nicely updated and includes two single beds, though with narrow stairs and low lighting, It's probably better suited for kids or teens rather than adults. While the keyless entry didn't work as expected, the host had a solid backup plan in place, and everything else ran smoothly. The house was clean and well-kept, though we did notice a strong smell of garbage when we first arrived and ended up grabbing some air fresheners. Overall, a great experience in a beautiful location-would definitely come back!

We had a lovely weekend staying at the treehouse while visiting family nearby. The cabin was quiet and cozy!

We had a great experience here! It was just the right place for our one night stay to go to a family wedding. Owner was very friendly and helpful!

Wonderful stay at the happy red cabin! It’s a special place perfect for unwinding and unplugging. The town of Saluda has excellent food and lots of nature around to explore. The cabin is comfortable and clean, also private and quiet. We will definitely return!

I've spent many years using Airbnb. This was a very special experience! The cottage is perfection. The grounds and surrounding area are stunning! But the hosts, Melinda and Hal , made a lasting impression. You both made my birthday one of the best! I am forever grateful and can't wait to return.

LOVED this precious cabin and mark was the best host ever!!
