Cottage holiday rentals in Lake James

The Loverly is truly lovely—you’ll feel at home! With a fireplace, a chaise lounge, a hot tub, and more, it’s the perfect retreat. Plan a shopping day in Hendersonville. The local consignment shop, which supports hospice care, offers great prices. For a meal, check out Shine—known for unique dishes and excellent service. In Fairview, The Local Joint is a must-visit. This old-fashioned diner, owned by a single mom, serves hearty meals that last all day. Their eggs Benedict, with fresh spinach, avocado, and homemade skillet potatoes, is a standout. Watching “CoCo” cook—his energy is unmatched—is an experience! Get there early; we went twice, and it was packed. Consider contributing to The Local Joint’s “pay it forward” option. A $10 donation covers a meal for someone in need. This region of North Carolina was severely impacted by Hurricane Helene. The destruction is heartbreaking, but the community is rebuilding. Many businesses and walking trails remain closed, so keep that in mind.

We loved staying at Caleb’s home! It was perfect for our family, and the hot tub was so relaxing! Absolutely beautiful.

This place is super cute. Great for a weekend getaway. Colby and Hilary stocked the home with everything you can think of. We had a great time!

Just what my husband and I needed. Far enough from town so it was peaceful but still close enough to be able to do stuff. The hot tub was probably my husband’s and I favorite thing lol

We came for a getaway from all the noise in Gatlinburg TN and couldn't be happier with the privacy provided and KILLER HOT TUB! That thing is NICE! Place was very well kept and we felt right at home. We enjoyed a couple local spots for food and gave to say Mars Hill is a very cute little town! Would definitely stay here again and appreciate the very much needed time away in a nice peaceful spot for our anniversary.

Our stay at the cottage was perfect! The house was exactly what we needed and was incredibly charming inside. We had easy access to the town area and all local trails. The cottage itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and felt like a cozy home away from home. We loved the fire pit, hot tub and really nice front deck. We would definitely come back soon :)

This quaint cottage is nestled in the blue ridge mountains with beautiful views and cozy amenities. The house was as described, the hot tub was great, the stars were beautiful, and the bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay.

We’ve stayed at a couple of Airbnbs in Asheville and this one was our favorite! The layout of the house was perfect and we loved all of the outdoor spaces. The expansive back porch, huge yard for soccer, and corner hot tub were favorites for the whole family. The beds were so comfortable that we had a hard time getting out of them in the morning. Our bulldog loved the yard, fenced back porch, and wooded area. Jon was so communicative and had wonderful restaurant recommendations. We hope to come back soon for another stay!

This little cottage is so adorable and in the perfect location. The cottage was clean and felt like home. The area is peaceful with hiking trails nearby. Brianna recommended a nearby restaurant, Bones Jones which was amazing. Will definitely book here again.

probably one of the better Airbnbs I have been to in a very very long time. Not only is the house cute, but the front patio and out door fire pit was just amazing. My wife and I spent the day exploring asheville and the blue ridge park way and would come back to the cozy home. would 100 percent recommend this place to any one coming through.

We have stayed here before, we always feel at home. Roger and his wife are very responsive. we look forward to staying here again soon.

We had a wonderful time celebrating my fiancés birthday in Saluda as well as staying at Karen and Katie’s place. It’s an absolute adorable house that was perfect for the two of us and our service dog. Location was peaceful and exactly what we were looking for! Would definitely go back!

Bucolic location with three comfortable beds — we especially loved the pasture raised eggs they left for us!

Beautiful home—we enjoyed our stay very much. Francis was friendly and so helpful! We brought our son and two furry four legged daughters who loved the grounds! It was actually better than pictures and descriptions. Home was clean, inviting, comfortable. You won’t be disappointed picking this home for a vacation or quick stay We will definitely be back. Thank you for making our getaway so enjoyable and relaxing!!!!

This is our second Christmas at Julie’s place. It is so perfect in every way!! We purchased steak and eggs from her this time and that will DEFINITELY be a stable each visit forward. Everything was so fresh and delicious! I HIGHLY recommend this home and can’t wait to return!! Just book it….IT’S SO GOOD FOR YOUR SOUL!!! ♥️

This was the cutest little place! We loved it the moment we walked in. It was so cozy and She provides so many great things! It’s a quick ride to Main Street where all of the cute little shops and great restaurant's are. We enjoyed staying here and will definitely book it again in the future!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this delightful Asheville cottage, and it exceeded all my expectations! Nestled right at the edge of Pisgah Forest, this cozy retreat is perfect for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the beauty of the mountains. The location is incredibly convenient—just a quick 10-minute drive to the vibrant downtown area filled with fantastic micro-breweries and restaurants. Plus, the cottage's back porch and expansive yard offer a serene escape, ideal for relaxing after a day of exploration. For those needing more space or seeking outdoor adventures, Bent Creek Park and the NC Arboretum are only 1.5 miles away. And if that’s not enough, you're just 5 minutes from The Blue Ridge Parkway, excellent outlet shopping, and more wonderful dining options. A special thanks to Jeff for being a great host! He was incredibly responsive and accommodating, allowing us to extend our stay e

We visit Asheville often and try to stay at Bright Cozy Cottage when it's available. Private, clean, modern, and a nice view out the front window. Mild street traffic mainly during weekday rush hour, but that is not an issue for us, although some reviewers note that as an issue for them. Really a great place to stay, and unmatchable in the Asheville area!

We stayed in the Gala Getaway cottage and it was wonderful! The description given by Jennifer was spot on. The cottage is extremely private and clean. Next time we visit the area we definitely hope that the cottage is available as it is close to everything. It is convenient to access downtown Hendersonville, wineries and several apple orchards . It is minutes from highway 26 while providing a quiet peaceful setting. We recommend it to anyone visiting the area

This cottage provided a wonderful weekend getaway. It is cozy with all that you would need. They were great with their instructions and the location was very quiet. It is walkable to many of our favorite eating spots. It was a great find for the 2 of us, and we look forward to going back!

This place was an absolute dream. Extremely peaceful, tucked away, with incredible views. The hosts were extremely helpful and responsive when we had an issue.

Great place. Loved all of it.

A very lovely stay, Wish we had more free time while we were there. The friendliest hosts you will ever meet.

The Host was always responsive and was willing to block off the next couple of days after the last day of our stay just in case we needed to extend. We appreciate the flexibility that our host showed. We would certainly consider this house again.
