Reconnect With Nature When You Stay At These Charming Rentals In North Carolina
When considering a trip away, look at these lovely vacation rentals in nature in North Carolina. Imagine how different it smells when breathing in the morning and what the night sky looks like twinkling full of stars instead of city lights.
1. Cabin by the River: Alexander
This pretty retreat sits out on 20 acres and sleeps up to three guests.
The newer construction, on this rural rental gives warm vibes with charming wooden interior features.
We love the galley kitchen and walls full of cabinets in which to stock delicious goodies. And the idea of gathering around this wood stove in the cooler months offers a place to reconnect.
See how small you are from the porch and two decks showing off the stunning river and mountains.
Take advantage of the kayak and paddling trails nearby.
2. Remote Cabin: Saluda
It is essential to drive across a creek, so a front-wheel drive vehicle is recommended to reach this beautiful hideaway on 25 private acres. It sleeps up to seven guests in three comfortable bedrooms.
A 50-inch HDTV offers Netflix, but games and books are also furnished if you want to stay technology-free on this mountain trip.
We hope you try.
Instead, sit out back on the rocking chairs to view the peaceful countryside from the wraparound porch.
And wait for some of the local wildlife to come prowling around, such as deer, bears, coyotes, and turkeys.
3. Beacon Mountain Estate: Henderson
It's hard to believe that this little hideaway is close to downtown Henderson. Have you ever had an outdoor shower? This is your chance.
The uninsulated, small space has a mounted heater for the cold and a mounted fan for warmer days.
We like how the bedroom opens right up to the great outdoors to hear the birds' songs before dawn's early light.
And the fire pit in this perfect setting brings a desire to tell ghost stories and have a weenie roast.
Renters must be able to climb a 10-foot ladder to access this treehouse.
4. Off-Grid Cabin Retreat: Burnsville
Get lost at this off-grid, 200-square-foot creekside mountain retreat on 28 acres in the Great Smoky Mountains. Extend yourself with a few challenges in this tiny cabin without electricity or plumbing.
This view from the front showcases the charming queen-sized bed warmly lit with remote-operated twinkle lights and dimmable lanterns.
The bathhouse is about 40 feet from the cabin with a port-a-john and portable camping shower that folks can fill with warm water. In addition, you won't find Wi-Fi out here, but calls and texts are usually not a problem.
How about a hike with a tremendous view of Mount Mitchell at 3,500 feet?
Isn't this why we came?
Do your mind a favor and stay at one of these vacation rentals in nature in North Carolina. And if you're in need, peruse some of the cool hiking gear at Rei.com.
