Vacation rentals with lake access in Great Smoky Mountains

Great hosts. Cabin was stocked with loads of information about the area and things to do... even a grocery discount card to use. The coffee station has brewed coffee, Keurig, hot tea - very well stocked. The kitchen was well equipped as well. The front and rear porch are very comfortable, with beautiful views. This is one of our favorite places in the mountains to visit. Close to great hiking and lake fishing. A very good value for the money.

The view of the lake from the large back porch was awesome. A peaceful place to relax and explore the lake on the canoes provided. There was a green egg on site for cooking dinner. I’d highly recommend this location!

Our family has been coming to Bear Paw for the last 20 years for our family reunion. This was our first time in this cabin, and it didn't disappoint. Plenty of space, and our children truly enjoyed the game room and well stocked board games. We ended up meeting the neighbors when enjoying the lake and they were so wonderful as well.

We hope to return next year. It’s has very comfortable beds and pillows. Also the all the furniture through out were comfortable. Views through all the large windows were so beautiful. Enjoyed swimming in the pool at the campground too. People around were very friendly.

The house was exactly as advertised. Incredibly clean and well stocked. Easy to get in and even smelled great. The kitchen was equipped with EVERY utensil we possibly needed. We were only able to use the paddle boards on our last day due to weather but they were great when we did. Also enjoyed a campfire and saw a million stars on clear nights. Overall we loved the place and felt right at home.

This was one of the best stays I’ve had! Loved the cozy vibe this place has and had a blast! Would definitely stay here again in the summer to utilize the dock and kayaks!!! 10/10

Could probably use a different cleaning crew. However, the place was lovely! Location great, property, beautiful & peaceful. The beds were great, clean, & plentiful. The owners couldn’t have been more accommodating, & friendly. Even the lake itself was larger & more beautiful than I expected. I would definitely stay there again.

This location was everything the reviews indicated. The inside was clean and well kept and perfect for our family. The kayaks were the best part of the stay and the lake is beautiful. The outside does need some tlc to match the inside upgrades.

We absolutely enjoyed your place! Sharon and Anna were excellent host and very supportive! The apartment lacked nothing! It was so peaceful and relaxing! We loved the trail around the whole lake and walked it each day! The location is very convenient to anything you would like to do in the mountains! We have no problem recommending this AirBNB location or the host, Sharon and Anna! Thank you for a great few days!

This was such a lovely Airbnb! Squeaky clean, walkable to beautiful Lake Junaluska and just a few minutes to hiking and downtown Waynesville. You can really tell Steve and Susie want their guests to have a five star stay with so many thoughtful touches such as bottled water, coffee, tea, half and half, biscotti’s card games and an abundance of books and guides about the area. There was a private table and chairs outside for a glass of wine or a meal which we loved and the bed was so comfortable. We visit this area often and we are so glad we have found our home away from home in Waynesville. Thank you Steve and Susie for hosting us! Blessings, Steve and Amy

Lesley's place was clean and comfortable. Lesley is a good communicator and our needs were met with clear instructions. Beautiful area!

This location was perfect for two of us spending a long weekend at Lake Junaluska for a conference. We had our privacy and also wonderful spaces to visit with one another, such as the outdoor patio area and comfortable living room. Great vallue, clean and comfortable. Having bottled water and muffins waiting for us was a thoughtful touch too!

By far the best airbnb host we’ve ever had super fast to respond to questions and the accommodations were better than described. Beds were absolutely marvelous woke up every morning feeling better than new. This airbnb is a nature lovers dream. Highly recommend Sandy and the unit

We had an amazing time at loriel and Adam’s place. While the weather was windy/cold and we lost power for a few hours due to weather, the views were breathtaking. The house was only steps from a beautiful walking trail around the lake, and only minutes from shopping/restaurants in Waynesville. Even under these circumstances, loriel and Adam were very communicative. Highly recommend this place!

We had a great time here! We would definitely stay again.

This was our second stay at Brenda’s place. It is perfect for my children and I since the bunk beds are in the room with the queen sized bed. We love the location and rustic farmhouse aesthetic. This is a great stay for an individual, couple, or small family or 3-4. There is only one bathroom, but it’s quite spacious. You can see the lake from the rocking chairs on the porch during the winter too

We really enjoyed our stay. From kayaking to sipping coffee on the back porch, it was great. The beds were so comfy, and the kitchen was stocked with all the needs to make it easy to enjoy a cooked meal. We will return!

Nice, clean, peaceful, private, relaxing, and as described, except for internet. I did log onto the house wifi. The wifi was not connected to the internet. I had less than one bar of cell service. There was a wired land line phone on the wall, which had no dial tone. There were many notes with help phone numbers, but no way to call. Because I was seeking a quiet retreat, I did not mind this.

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!

Had a great stay! While a bit remote, the house was really nice and exactly as pictured. It’s in a quiet and peaceful location on the lake. Bob was responsive and has the house well stocked. We especially enjoyed the kayaks and getting out on and exploring the lake.

Really enjoyed our night here. Appreciated the clear instructions and everything is labeled well. The house and area is beautiful, sad it was too rainy to take advantage of the canoes. Would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for letting us stay. it was wonderful being able to have our two dogs with us. Bed was comfortable and and there was ample room for our two 18 year olds. The hot tub was clean and warm! Used it every day. Only thing I would not, and this doesn't take away from the review or rating, is the pond wasn't quite the view we thought it would be and there were more lizards than fish. nothing the host can control. Just something to note depending on the expectations of the guest and what they are looking for. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again

Beautiful location, easy checkin/out, comfy beds, awesome porch !

Cameron’s place was very quaint and comfortable. Cozy. It’s not a large room, but definitely all I needed. Plenty of room for my golden retriever and I. Cameron was very accommodating when I needed to change dates. Understanding of things happening in life. A lost art. Would definitely stay again!
