Elevacres
This was our fifth year staying at Elevacres. We have so enjoyed each visit. Kevin was, again, a great host. Thank you for everything. We will miss your home as our AVL rental, but can’t argue with you wanting that daily view back. Cheers!

GrandView Cabin|Sleeps 10|Close to LL
Beautiful place in a beautiful location. It's peaceful and quiet. The deck is great to hang out on and for grilling. Everything is as advertised. It's not fancy, but a great place to stay for a few days or a week if you really want to get away from things.

Fun and Roomy Close to Everything
We had a great time! The place is beautiful, clean, and in an excellent location within walking distance of many places in town. Also, it was easy to communicate with the management company via chat when needed.

Dog Friendly - Stargazer Cabin at Farmside Village
Excellent and quiet retreat, about 20 minute's drive from Asheville. communication with the hosts was great and they were very responsive. The cabin is absolutely spotless and everything seemed new. would definitely recommend.

Sunny Cabin near Downtown
This cabin was a nice find. Location was very convenient to all the places we were headed and was easy to find with gps. Elisabeth was very responsive to any questions or concerns. Would definitely book again!

Great place to stay! Beautiful view across the street. Had everything we needed with coffee and stores 5 mins down the road!

AVL Byrd House. Mountain Views - Prime Spot!
Would highly recommend Joe's AirBnB and would absolutely stay again! The home is extremely comfortable, exactly matches the photos and description, and has stunning views of the mountains. It is in such a beautiful, peaceful spot! The AirBnB was spotless, and Joe was an incredibly responsive and helpful host! My family had such a lovely time!

Modern Cabin Home with Mnt Views- near Asheville
We had a great stay at this property during a recent work trip with my team. The home was exceptionally clean and thoughtfully laid out—each of us had our own bedroom and towels on beds upon arrival, as well as our own living room and kitchen space, which gave us plenty of flexibility and privacy. The location was convenient, the bedding was very comfortable, and the decor had a cute and welcoming vibe. Parking was easy, and the instructions for check-in and check-out were clear and simple to follow. Overall, it was a perfect setup for a business trip, and I would absolutely stay here again.

Great area and perfect if you want too be out of the town area

Front Porch Charm
Such a great place to stay with kids, even has a small play structure in the private yard! Close to downtown Asheville and convenient to get everywhere!

New Belgium Lower Level Duplex, Heard of the RAD
We stayed at Navi and had a blast! The food trucks across the street were perfect when we didn’t want to cook. Being by the brewery and park was an added bonus that we had not anticipated. The place was great for the three of us. Highly recommend and would love to come back!

High speed internet! Creek and fire pit!
Stayed for a week to do some hiking at Pisgah and it was the perfect place! So cozy and peaceful, the cabin was very clean and the perfect size! The fire pit outside was perfect at night and the creek in the back was so peaceful. We had the best week! Will definitely be back and recommend!

Tranquil country home NW of Asheville w/ Hot Tub
We stayed here to attend a wedding in the area. The host was very communicative, the house was very nice, clean and comfortable. Would stay here in the future if we are ever in the area again.

Hot Tub & Country Home in the Middle of the Trees
We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful mountain house in Rutherfordton! The views were stunning, the rooms were cozy and well-designed, and the hot tub was the perfect way to relax after a long day. The hosts were incredibly responsive and kind, making everything smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend!

West Asheville Private 2 bedroom Getaway
Very communicative, clean, having coffee was just that extra bit that you don’t see so much at airbnbs anymore… really nice stay

Luxury 3Br 2Ba close to town w/ Steam Shower
Although this place was beautiful from each bedroom to the steamed shower and clawfoot tub, what I appreciate the most is that there are no check-out chores! We had a relaxing Sunday morning and didn’t feel stressed to make sure we had completed a checklist. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Idle Speed- The Ultimate Lake Lure Escape!
Beautiful place, relaxing and quite. It is a great place to stay and plenty of stuff for kids to enjoy. We had a great time with our family.

Lake Front Cozy Cabin With a Rustic Feel
Beautiful piece of heaven. Even though it rained the majority of our visit we were still able to enjoy the serenity of the area thanks to the covered porches. This home is so peaceful and quaint. Exactly what I wished for, and we look forward to staying here again. Highly recommend folks stay at this beautiful cabin with the lovely view.

Lake James Waterfront with Dock, Pool, and Kayaks!
This home was breathlessly beautiful! Everything was so clean. Andrew was very responsive every time I contacted him and he was very kind and helpful. Definitely worth the stay!

Mountain Cabin Getaway
Excellent stay! Peaceful place with plenty of space. The house is perfect for families with kids and pets. It is very well-equipped with a fully stocked kitchen, a variety of board games, and is sparkling clean. Especially for being a cabin, the outdoor furniture is spotless with no dust or spider webs. Linens and towels were super clean. Ana and James were wonderful hosts, providing a truly enjoyable experience. Highly recommended!

Lakefront Cottage with heated pool
We rented this house for the week of Christmas. It was the perfect space for us to spend time together. The view of the lake was great! The house was as described and met all of our needs from the bedding and towels to the kitchen cooking accessories. Would love to rent this in the summer to enjoy more of the outdoor space.

Lake Escape
Kirk allowed me to use the property for my bridesmaids for my wedding so they'd be close to the venue, he was responsive and flexible allowing an early check-in before rehearsal which allowed my girls to relax a little before the big day. The house was clean and cozy, offering a beautiful view and relaxing atmosphere. I wish I could have spent more time there myself, but my girls loved this little cabin. If you're visiting the area this is a great spot close to everything, but still giving privacy and pace. Thanks again Kirk!

Rustic Cabin w/ 2 story dock! 1 mile to downtown
Adorable, vintage fisherman cottage on the lake. We loved this little cabin and it's obvious its owner does, too. The cottage is quaint and small but has been very well thought out from extras in the kitchen, plenty of comfy porch furniture, to space efficient furniture in the rest of the home. We also enjoyed the fantastic outdoor spaces and two SUPs. Finally, although the home sits off (two lane) Memorial Hwy, nights were quiet and we felt the location was worth it for the convenient distance to both restaurants and the Ingles. Additionally, the home sits in a wide cove and provides great views. We just loved the well cared for, vintage lake house vibe. It's well kept, too!

Cabin*3 King Master Bedrooms*Hot Tub*Game Room
This place is a really nice get away. It is not very far off the main highway so it's easily accessible. The cabin itself is nice and private with the nearest neighbor being quite a ways away. I never heard anyone else the entire time we were there. The cabin was nice and clean and the giant wrap around porch made for a great hang out spot. The hot tub was very nice and clean and is where I spent most of my time. Todd was very responsive to any questions I had.

Your guide to Lake Lure
All About Lake Lure
Nestled at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the heart of Hickory Nut Gorge, Lake Lure is a charming small town with stunning mountain views and a crystal-clear lake from which it takes its name. It’s known in popular culture as a filming location for cult classics, but it’s hardly a touristy stop-over. Less than an hour southeast of Asheville, Lake Lure is one of western North Carolina’s top destinations for outdoor recreation, thanks to its long bays, vast stretches of water, and a beautiful backdrop of mountain scenery. From hiking to birding, summer fishing to winter skiing, the area draws visitors seeking to soak in the beauty of nature from a cozy lakefront home base.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Lake Lure
Lake Lure is located in the Isothermal Belt, famous for its remarkably mild weather despite its location surrounded by mountains. Depending on the season, air may be warmer or cooler on the mountains than the base of the 2,200-foot valley. Summer temperatures peak in the upper 80s Fahrenheit with very little humidity, dropping to the low 60s in the evenings. Winter is cooler: Temperatures average around 50 degrees, dropping to just below freezing once the sun goes down. In spring and summer the mountains act as a kind of insulation, stretching the valley’s warmer periods, making for pleasant seasons year-round.
Top things to do in Lake Lure
Chimney Rock State Park
Bordering Lake Lure is this 8,000-acre state park with hiking trails to accommodate all levels. The park is named for the famous granite monolith towering 315 feet in the air — a must-see for any visitor. It’s accessible by elevator, and on clear days, it provides views of the park and surrounding area for miles around.
Lake Lure Beach and Water Park
Open Memorial Day through Labor Day, the privately owned Lake Lure Beach shoreline stretches 27 miles and features wide expanses of sand perfect for family-friendly play. There’s an admission fee, which includes the water park: its slides, splash pad, and water balloon zone are all big hits with kids on hot summer days.
Tryon and Hendersonville
These two small towns — each about a half-hour from Lake Lure — are unique in their history and culture, and worth checking out on a day trip. South of Lake Lure, Tryon has long been a retreat for writers and artists, as well as a world-renowned hub for equestrian competitions. Equidistant from Tryon and Lake Lure is the small city of Hendersonville, home to an aviation museum and a railroad museum as well as the 12-acre Bullington Gardens.
