Holiday rentals with lake access in Blue Ridge

We had a wonderful time at this lake house. Plenty of room for my family of five to spread out and relax and such a beautiful setting. The house had everything we needed to just relax and spend time there. The kitchen was very well stocked with equipment. My sons loved fishing in the lake and we all enjoyed sitting around to bonfire at night. It was wonderful. Next time we will stay for longer!

What a lovely lake cabin escape! Gilbert was communicative and very accommodating. We really enjoyed the kayaks, fire pit, and relaxing on the dock. The place has all the essentials and cute rustic charm. I’d definitely stay here again!

We had a great stay at Kurt’s couples cottage. The place is as described, perfect for a couple, with serene atmosphere, lovely location just off the Taccoa river. We were not into fishing, so may not have enjoyed the stay to its fullest potential but we still loved the place regardless. We were given a tour of place upon arrival as the host happened to be around. There is a fireplace, a fire-pit, lots of firewood with starter, etc., in addition to seating, hammock, and so on. Lots of good stuff. Truly enjoyed the stay.

Barry and Tricia are both so lovely, they were always very professional and extensive with their responses which I appreciated. The house was gorgeous and very spacious. It was very clean with an amazing view of the lake behind. We met the previous owner and he was very kind as well. The only thing I could think to ask of them is to include more pictures in the listing! You are gatekeeping your gorgeous home! lol This is a worthwhile stay with a group of friends or family. Thank you to Barry and Tricia! <3

This is our second time staying here for new years and it was great as usual. It is very peaceful at this property. Very clean and perfect for our group size. We would stay again.

Blue Turtle Villa was perfect for our group of 7 plus our dog. The layout was perfect with plenty of bathrooms (with big fluffy robes in all of them!) and an open floor plan. The upstairs loft area was great for our kids to play video games during downtime. We cooked several meals in the well-appointed kitchen and were able to take advantage of the beautiful weather and dine outside on the lovely patio. The backyard was my favorite part of the house with a firepit, clean hot tub, and great views of the amazing surroundings. The house is about as close to being in a national forest as possible. Allie thought of everything when stocking this house - they not only had several kayaks/paddleboards available but they all were fully functional and they had all the accessories you could want/need (life jackets of all sizes, wet bags, even a handy rolling cart to help haul it all down to the lake!). Beautiful area with tons to do if you love nature and hiking like us! Highly recommend.

We loved staying at the lake house. It was easy, no agenda, you don’t have to leave! But when we did the leave the area is so fun, there’s a little, hiking nearby, delicious food and amazing views no matter where you. Lake Chatuge is a well hidden secret. Loved every minute. The outdoor space and deck are sprawling.

Kristy was very nice and responsive. The house was absolutely beautiful and clean. The living room/patio scenery were stunning. We couldn’t get enough of the jacuzzi (tv outside was a plus). Definitely would recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Morganton/Blue ridge area, whether you want a quiet getaway or a close spot to the lake/beach.

It was absolutely one of the two most peaceful places I have ever been to. I wasn't ready to leave, and I will go back just as soon as possible. The place was clean and welcoming. We had everything we needed and Gary & Sheryl were awesome!!! If you want a quiet get away, I highly recommend "On the River"!!!

Margarita's place had everything we needed, and were looking for for an impromptu weekend getaway. It was close to the Jackrabbit trails, which we enjoyed with friends, and the lake. Plus, we enjoyed a bonus sunset drink, with some great food truck bbq, on the new dock bar! We would definitely stay again.

Adorable efficiency suite . Great view of the lake and suitable areas to walk our dog. Very clean and quiet. Was an easy drive into Hiawassee.

I reserved this AirBnb for my parents to celebrate my mom's 60th birthday. I am posting this review on behalf of them! - This was the perfect setting for my husband and I to celebrate my 60th birthday. The cottage was lovely and had everything we needed. The view of the lake was really nice and having a dock right out your backdoor was a great amenity and perfect for our pontoon boat. The close proximity to numerous restaurants was a plus and we enjoyed visiting Bell Mountain to take in the views of Lake Chatuge and Hiawassee. Our host, Leslie was quick to respond when we reached out to her. We look forward to visiting again!

We spent Easter weekend here. As we drove in the wild azaleas and dogwoods were blooming, and everything afterwards was just as beautiful and peaceful. My teenagers loved kayaking and my daughter liked the pond so well she slept on the daybed on the porch. I appreciated the feather pillows and reverse osmosis water. Attention has been paid to every detail. I called my Nana to show her the antique desks. My small children enjoyed the toys and my middle son using the pully bucket on the porch. My daughter celebrated a birthday over our stay, more movie guests showed up than expected and I just couldn't turn these kids away. Our hosts were so kind. They of course charged a little extra as was clearly understood via the contract, they were very understanding and polite. The lock to the boat seems to be jamed, the downstairs fireplace is currently non operational, and I'm not sure I'll get back a thumb drive I forgot, but this family has worked hard to create really special place. Five star

We loved our stay at Terry's place in the beautiful mountains of western NC! His place is super comfortable, bright, and convenient to everything. Terry was very responsive and a pleasure to deal with. We would definitely stay again!

Great location and very peaceful. Short walk to the lake. Well equipped cabin and is very clean and comfortable. Great comma from the host. No issues during the stay.

Patsy’s place was the perfect weekend getaway for our family. Seeing it with our own eyes was even better than the pictures on the listing. Beautiful lake front. Multiple outside dining and grilling spaces and a dock. There were only 4 of us but 3-4 more peeps could’ve joined us comfortably. Patsy was great with communicating and answering our questions. We would come back.

We just spent a few days here and didn’t want to leave. It’s incredibly quiet and completely private -- pure nature and total peace. We brought our two dogs and they had the best time exploring and hanging out by the lake. It felt safe, relaxing, and just really comfortable. The cottage was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed. Judith was so kind—she checked in by text to make sure we had everything, which we really appreciated. If you’re looking for a peaceful place to disconnect and recharge, this is it. We’re already planning to come back.

My Mom, sister, and I just stayed here for a little weekend getaway and it was perfect! The cottage is adorable, and the property is SO beautiful and peaceful. We spent most of our time in the sunroom with the windows open enjoying the sound of the creek running through the property. The neighborhood mountain dog ,pickles, made an appearance many times during our stay and he was so sweet! My only issue with the place is that the pictures make the two bedrooms upstairs appear to look like two separate rooms, but it’s really one big open space. There is a portion of the wall that comes out which does divide the space a little bit, but there’s not really any privacy unless you go in the half bath. Other than that, I have absolutely no complaints! Would definitely stay here again☺️

I can't say enough about our stay here. Everything we may have needed was available. The wildlife was amazing. We saw deer every day on our walks. The dock was perfect for our boat and swimming. it's where we spent most of our time. The jacuzzi was a treat. Beds were extremely comfortable. There are 3 kings. The pics show one room w/ 2 twins, but that is not the case. Thankfully my boys didn't have to share a room this time or that would have been an issue (insert mom eyeroll here). Short 30 minute drive to beautiful Helen. Grocery store and fast food is easy to get to. We had a wonderful week and did not want to leave. Thank you Karen for a beautiful home and a wonderful stay. We hope to be back next summer!
