Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Macon County

We had a lovely stay at The Rusty Nail. The cabin was clean, cozy and had everything we needed. We were fortunate enough to even have a early morning rain that sounded wonderful on the tin roof. It was a great weekend spot for my husband and I.

Celeste was an exceptionally friendly host. She responded quickly and was a delight to interact with. Her house was quiet and nestled in the beautiful, peaceful mountains, offering amazing views. The front porch was perfect for enjoying early-morning coffee and watching fireflies in the late evening. The house provided everything we needed for a quick getaway. We will definitely be returning soon!

Amazing house! Beautifully decorated. Loved the outdoor porches. Felt secluded and peaceful but so close to downtown. Honestly, it could not have been more perfect for us. We didn’t want to leave! Super clean. comfortable beds, nice linens. Host was responsive and accommodating … would give 10 stars if I could.

Absolutely perfect. We stayed for the week with our five kids (6,4,3, & 1 year old twins) and had an amazing family vacation. The space worked perfectly for our needs as a large family with small kids and the beach area was especially perfect for toddler playtime. The waterfall across the way was stunning and we loved boating around, fishing, swimming, fires by the lake, and rainy evenings in the hot tub. Such an amazing place for families!

Stayed here as a group of six and 1 dog. Very cozy and lots of space for everyone. Beautiful mountain views!

We had the best weekend at the cottage. Easy, quick drive to downtown highlands. Some highlights - The pizza oven was great for making pizzas, grill was fantastic for grilling steaks, fire pit for s’mores and the Hot tub was used several times. The kids loved the bunk room. The house was beautifully decorated and we felt right at home. We hope to be back soon!

Dj was responsive and the home was beautiful, large, clean, and had everything you could need. Towels were soft. Bathroom was clean. Beds were clean and bedrooms had fans (absolutely great) and an amazing location

Hi we loved this place close to everything clean and quiet thanks for making are stay memorable in Franklin nc

Belinda and Ben were great host! The home met our needs as we were waiting to close on our home. The space worked well for my husband who was working remotely and also for the visiting grand kids. The home is simple bbut had everything we needed.

Holly was extremely responsive and helpful. The cottage was much cuter and cozier than the photos depict. It was very quiet and tucked away in the beautiful NC mountains. The parking spot is a little short, but our minivan did fit. The road to the cottage is dirt and could be a little challenging for a small low riding vehicle. We did not have problems. We love the country so we took these things in stride. She had many small additions that made arrival and the stay special like caramels, tea, and coffee choices. You could tell by these additions and her exemplary communication that she wanted our stay top notch! We would highly recommend this cottage.

Our second stay at Debi's beautiful b&b was great! We're grateful for her and her space, sharing the nature and peace with us. Can't wait to return for a third time :)

Cozy and comfortable with all you could need to rest and relax The porch was great for reading The house is in a very quiet neighborhood

Couples getaway, is just what this place is. very private with little extra amenities with out the extra cost. Very clean and comfortable.

We booked a last minute stay for spring break. It was exactly what we were looking for, quiet, peaceful, relaxing, with a little fun for all of us. We loved the creek running right outside the cabin next to the fire pit, made for an extra fun night next to the campfire! The cabin was exactly as described, spacious, clean, and had everything you needed for your stay. We would venture out to hiking trails during the day, then head back in to relax by the fire for the night. Cynthia had tons of suggestions and there was a binder on the table with local places, things to do etc. which made it very helpful.

The cabin was adorable and very private. Loved the covered and screened in porch to sit and chat. Also loved the pasture next door where we saw 4 cows.

DON’T miss your chance to experience the magic of the River Love barn. Kangee’s EXCEPTIONAL hospitality throughout our time in her home set the tone for the entirety of our stay. Her attentiveness & genuine warmth made us feel right at home. The beauty of this property is truly beyond words. While the photos online are stunning, they don’t fully capture the enchanting atmosphere that envelops you as soon as you step onto the grounds. Our favorite spots were the clawfoot tub, perfectly nestled in a private, serene area of the property & the outdoor hammock within the screened in back deck. Kangee truly brought the outside in with her thoughtful design. Even on a rainy day- the sky lights during a storm that had passed through was such a reminder of the cozy atmosphere that permeates the barn. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful getaway or a relaxing family trip, the River Love Barn is a hidden gem that I cannot recommend enough. We left feeling refreshed & inspired, with hearts full.

Our stay at Little Bear Creek was delightful ! The house was immaculate with so many surprises- a basket with s’mores supplies, extra chips, lots of spices, extra beach towels, picnic blanket and cooler, shampoos and conditioners, lots of games for kids and adults and even the cloth tablecloths was a nice touch!! My grandchildren loved the creek area-especially the tree phone! The beds were comfortable and the addition of multiple charging ports in each room was very helpful. Patti was quick to respond to my messages. We thoroughly enjoyed being there! Thank you for providing such a wonderful place for our annual mountain trip with our grandchildren!!

Effortless process and wonderful experience. This place is exactly as as shown in the photos and even more quite and peaceful than expected. The house and the decor are so thoughtful and inviting we didn't want to leave. The screened porch and open deck extend the small but generous living spaces outside perfectly. The loft is a great retreat and with a great selection of games we made use of. We were (4) people and we had plenty of space for cooking, dining and relaxing. We will stay again and highly recommend!

Lovely place, felt right at home from the start. House layout was great, with plenty of privacy and cozy common spaces. Hosts were very responsive leading up to and during our stay and you can tell they truly care about the place. My 4 year old loved the bunk beds, a pack & play and a high chair were provided for the 1.5 year old which was nice. Driveway is steep but manageable - for reference, our Kia Caravan is not AWD and we needed to roll back and start over the first time (host DOES warn you that you need 4WD/AWD so it's totally on us) but Honda CRV has no issues going up and down. Highly recommend visiting the Road to Nowhere - unique story and an easy to moderate hike at the end even with small kids. Quaint nearby towns of Sylva and Bryson City were a treat as well. Overall a great memorable experience.
