Hometown rental - no added cleaning fees

ChelsieRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The place was spacious and perfect for what we needed. We needed a place big enough to host 3 adults (1 couple) while we were in town for a music festival. The house was easy to find. Had spacious bedrooms which easily accommodated us. There was coffee available in the kitchen along with small household appliances like toaster oven, microwaves and keurig. There was also some seasonings available. The washer and dryer was a life saver since we were spending most of our time outside in a park. We were able to wash our clothes before leaving so we didn’t have to pack dirty things. The outside sitting areas were nice and my friend took advantage of the peaceful surroundings and meditated every morning. The host was friendly and responsive with any questions we had. There are super markets and some restaurants near by. WiFi worked great and plenty of towels and wash clothes and body wash and shampoo to use although we brought our own. Great place. No complaints.

Townie One

MichelleRating, 5 stars2 months ago
This was one of the best airbnbs we stayed at in Brevard - our son plays baseball at Brevard College and we have been traveling to Brevard for 4 years - the home was very clean - Marisa was great - we could not figure out how to adjust the ceiling fans so her husband came by to take a look and he went out and got new batteries which we were fine doing but he wanted to - very impressed! Very nice and easy to communicate with. The house is adorable.

What a great place! Everything was clean and described perfectly. In town for a wedding, so this place was awesome to return to and relax. Easily accessible to everything that we needed. Javoris and JaNadia were very welcoming, had great communication, and obviously took pride in this home. If another trip to Raleigh is in our future, we would rent this home again in a heartbeat

Near Town/Deck/Hot Tub/Fire Pit/Views

ChrisRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This was a gem! Lovely spot, very close to the deep creek entrance of the Smoky’s but not too remote. Town was close by as was a lovely little winery. The house was like new and absolutely as advertised. We would easily stay here again. Kelly was one of, if not the most responsive host we have ever had at an Air BNB.

Lazy Acres at Highfield Cabins

ThomasRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Karen’s place! My parents own a cabin nearby, but with our growing family we opted to get our own place this trip. It was the perfect size for me and wife and two small kids. Everything was clean, homey, and the view from the back porch was incredible. Karen was super responsive and was so helpful and accommodating when we had to extend our stay due to some unforeseen circumstances. We would definitely stay here again!

Firefly’n; log cabin near smoky mtns polar express

MeghanRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had an amazing week at the cabin . It was exactly the relaxation I needed in between my hectic travel schedule for work . We booked this trip somewhat rapidly and on a whim and now I have fell in love with the area and are already planning our next trip . We went horseback riding through the trails right across the street and I highly recommend that excursion if you have time . The owner of the restaurant across the street Constantine is so kind and will fill your dinner with stories from old country Greece and how he wound up here . This trip has changed my outlook on so many things and in the hectic chaotic world we live in now and kids are growing up in this cabin , the village and the surrounding area will recenter any couple, Family or friends who travel this way . Thank you for this amazing trip. We will be back. Sincerely, Meghan

Your guide to North Carolina

Welcome to North Carolina

North Carolina has a little bit of everything: city life, mountain getaways, coastal fun, the most visited national park in the country, the Great Smoky Mountains. Whether you’re into urban culture or Mother Nature, the state has got you covered. Towns run the gamut from tech hubs like Raleigh to smaller bohemian communities like Asheville. On the Eastern Seaboard, there’s the port city of Wilmington, home to one of North Carolina’s more popular seaside getaways, as well as the rugged Outer Banks, which span more than 100 miles of pristine coastline. And, of course, there’s the largest metropolis, Charlotte, a center for the state’s pro sports franchises as well as the famed Charlotte Motor Speedway. One of the country’s top craft beer destinations, North Carolina also boasts more than 340 breweries and gastropubs.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in North Carolina

Spring and fall are generally the best time to visit North Carolina for guaranteed good weather. Overall, the summers can be hot and humid, while the winters can bring below-freezing temperatures and snow into the more mountainous regions of western North Carolina. The coastal areas are particularly busy during the summers, so book one of the state’s cabin rentals for shoulder season in late spring or early fall if you want to avoid crowds. The annual Grandfather Mountain Highland Games in July is a great opportunity to come learn about North Carolina’s Scottish heritage.


Top things to do in North Carolina

The Blue Ridge Parkway

The 469-mile Blue Ridge Parkway starts in Great Smoky Mountains National Park near the Tennessee-North Carolina border and winds its way northeast into Virginia, offering scenery galore paired with glimpses of Appalachian culture and Cherokee life. Popular stops include Grandfather Mountain and the Mile High Swinging Bridge with its 360-degree views of the surrounding mountains.

Carova Beach

If watching wild horses roam a sandy beach sounds like something out of a fairy tale, then you’ll want to add Carova Beach to your itinerary. The northernmost community in the Outer Banks is accessible only by unpaved beach, and the 100 Corolla wild horses that populate the area are descendants of the Spanish mustangs that arrived by colonial ships in the 1500s. Other herds are scattered throughout the barrier islands. Be sure to keep your distance and never feed the animals.

The Biltmore

The largest home in America looms just outside Asheville. Built in 1895, the 175,000-square-foot mansion once served as the home of George and Edith Vanderbilt. Take in the fascinating history of their railroad dynasty while on a self-guided tour of the 8,000-acre estate, which includes a winery.
