Cabin rentals in Charlotte

The Andrews Farm
Kathrine was amazing! There was a slight hiccup when checking in, which was not her fault, and she responded quickly and handled the issue immediately. The surroundings were peaceful and we loved staying there.

Belmont Riverside Cabin
A Perfect Lake Getaway! I recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful cabin on the lake, and I can’t recommend it enough! The cabin was incredibly clean and well-maintained, providing a cozy and inviting atmosphere for our stay. The peaceful surroundings made for a truly relaxing experience. Brooke was an amazing host, making the check-in process seamless with clear and easy instructions. He was also very responsive and attentive, ensuring that our stay was comfortable. Additionally, we loved exploring the nearby downtown Belmont, where we discovered some fantastic restaurants. It was the perfect combination of nature and great dining. If you’re looking for a quiet retreat with a beautiful view and wonderful hospitality, this cabin is the place to be! We can't wait to return!

Lakeside Rustic Retreat
We had a blast at Lynne’s place! It is such a cozy home with fantastic Lake access. Very private and felt right at home immediately!

Lakefront Charming Cozy Cabin with Deep Water Dock
Excellent lake house experience. Well organized and beautiful views from the house. Everyone loved our time together and will be back again next year. Thanks for everything.

Cabin Amongst the Trees
This cabin was very beautiful, I felt as if I was in the mountains. The area was very peaceful and serene. I will absolutely be booking this place again.

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ PRIVATE PENINSULA on LAKE NORMAN
Great little lakeside gem. My kids didn’t want to leave, they loved the lake, catching fish, looking for toads, having s’mores at the campfire and exploring. The place is quaint, peaceful, clean, and relaxing. The only constructive feedback would be the shower is small and had little water pressure . This would not hold us back from renting again though.

Boho Hideaway
I want to say this place was so at home. I felt we were in cabin and being rural, at the same time so close to whatever we needed. the surrounding was absolutely breathtaking. The cabin was so clean and equipped. My son loved the fact he could stay in loft by himself, and still being close to us. we loved to hear birds, and rooster singing around and we also meet some locals and neighbors; very friendly. Robin and Jay were so kind when I needed to talk to them and John helped me to find the local event, even though we didn't go (we had so much fun just being at cabin). Overall we loved, loved it and loved it. Thank you Robin and Jay for creating such a lovely place to stay in; felt so at home. Sarah, Jay and Benjamin

Overlook of Lake Wylie
We loved our stay on the lake. I loved the area. It was a great place to take walks and enjoy the outdoors. Our boys really enjoyed the kayaks. The house was really close to so many places and activities in the Charlotte area.

Hidden Gem at the heart of South Charlotte
Great host. Always very responsive. Close location to Quail Hollow. 5 minute Uber. Inside was clean and spacious.

Favorite Place to Stay-1 mile from Southend+Hottub
Great stay! The Airbnb was clean, comfortable, and conveniently located close to downtown Charlotte. It was perfect for our work trip — easy check-in, quiet at night, and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again next time we’re in town.

Private Oasis Uptown | Pool, Hot Tub, Pet Friendly
Great place in amazing location - thank you Kristi and team!

Carol’s Cottage-private resort
Karen’s home is beautiful! The pictures didn’t compare to how amazing the home looks in person. The back yard is private and has everything you could need in a getaway. The hot tub was great. Karen has offered a lot of options with things to do while you’re at her Airbnb. There is a projector screen on the back patio with multiple chairs to enjoy a movie outside and Karen even offers heated blankets for when it’s cold! All around we loved our stay at carol’s cottage and will definitely be planning to come back. Karen was respectful, reasonable & attentive as our host. I would recommend to anybody to come stay here. It’s worth the trip!

Cozy bungalow w/ hottub near Uptown
Great place close to Charlotte. The outside areas are great, we enjoyed the hot tub, fire table, and projector. The kitchen is VERY well stocked. We only spent 1 night but it would be perfect for a longer stay.

7 Bedroom Updated Lake House Close to Charlotte
Patrick was a wonderful host! Very responsive whenever we had a question or need. The location was perfect for a family vacation, readily accommodating seven adults and four grandkids, ages 1 to 8. Fabulous views of the lake from the house and pool deck. Our grandkids caught many fish from the dock, including a couple of nice catfish. The kayaks were easy to launch and retrieve, and our 22 foot boat fit nicely alongside the outer dock. Five stars in all regards!

Peaceful Zen Retreat w/Hot Tub, Min to Uptown!
The house was great and the beds were very comfortable. The backyard was peaceful, especially at night with the lights and the hot tub. We had our adult sons with us and we could not hear them moving around and watching TV while we were sleeping, the house is sound proof! I did have to sweep off the back patio furniture when we arrived, it didn't look like that had been done in a while, or it might have just been from a storm - no big deal, the broom was easy to find. The house is older, with a nice mid-century modern vibe - very cozy. I would stay there again.

South End Home! Pool/Spa+Covered Patio+Arcade
Loved our stay at Kyles place! Such a fun house with tons of space and super walkable to South End area! Will definitely come back :)

The Pearl of Lake Wylie
We have not used AirBnB many times, but this one stands out as the best experience yet! What a lovely, clean, tidy, quaint, attractive, simple, elegant, and comfortable lakeside property this is. We enjoyed cooking meals, grilling, soaking in the hot tub, sunset cocktails on the dock. Planning to return in the future for another stay!

Lakefront Retreat | Sleeps 18 | Kayaks + Hot Tub
Property was a lovely, peaceful and serene space with a great view and nice amenities. It was a last minute booking on my end but it was worth it and very enjoyable. Would recommend this lake house for a relaxing weekend getaway.

Hot Tub~Paddleboard~Kayak~Putting Green~Fun Games
James and Jane were amazing. They made sure we were up to date with the area, have local restaurants near the home. Also had access to the river. They were nice and helpful and they have a lovely home.

Peaceful Cabin near Uptown! On 3.5 acres w/Hot tub
Matt's place was absolutely beautiful. It was just as described and communication was excellent. There is so many amenities in the house. Great Coffee area, King bed was very comfortable. The property was beautiful and quite. House was clean. We loved staying there and would highly recommend and would stay there again.

Waterfront Log Cabin w/Hot Tub, Kayaks, Firepit
LOVELY HOME AND HOSTS! HAD THEM A MESSAGE AWAY. THE HOME LOOKED JUST LIKE THE PHOTOS, BEAUTIFULLY DECORATED AND 15 MINS TO EVERYTHING, THE HOTTUB AND FIRE PIT WERE READY TO GO AND THEY WERE VERY NICE! WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND AND STAY AGAIN.

Mobile Pineridge Hideout
Very nice place to stay and I felt right at home. Perfect location to have privacy, but also close enough to pick up anything you may need from town. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in the area.

Lake Norman Cabin-Lake Front-Private Boat Dock-
The cabin was fantastic. Plenty of space for a multi family trip. Right on the lake. The game room in the basement was great. The fire pit was very nice. A couple of minor maintenance issues but the host was very responsive. Only caution is if you plan on docking a boat there, the water depth was very low and made it a challenge. You also have to go under a low bridge to get there! Would definitely stay again.

Your guide to Charlotte
Welcome to Charlotte
Cosmopolitan Charlotte is North Carolina’s largest city, with towering Uptown skyscrapers, unique museums, and a plethora of lively neighborhoods steeped in history. The municipality rose to prominence in the early 19th century during Carolina’s gold rush, and later prospered thanks to thriving cotton, textile, and banking industries. If you hear someone call it the Queen City, that’s because Charlotte is named after the wife of King George III.
The weather is suitable for adventuring in nature year-round, and the number of indoor and outdoor attractions is staggering; in the morning you can hike the trails in Little Sugar Creek Greenway or spike your adrenaline at the U.S. National Whitewater Center — the world’s largest manmade whitewater river. Later on you can marvel at the NASCAR Hall of Fame or wander the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden. Finally, you can finish the day strong by sampling craft beers or catching a show at the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center. These are only a few of the many reasons this place regularly makes lists of the best U.S. cities to live in.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Charlotte
The optimal time to visit Charlotte is in the fall or the spring, when the weather is most temperate, crowds aren’t too bad, and parks and gardens tend to look their best. Summer sees a sharp increase in visitors, but it’s also a fantastic time to experience the U.S. National Whitewater Center and then swap adventure tales over al fresco craft brews in one of the city’s numerous beer gardens. Winter does bring colder climes, but the city’s used to it, and businesses remain open throughout the year. Events you may want to plan a visit around include the Taste of Charlotte food festival in early June and Charlotte Pride in mid-August. Motorsports season at the Charlotte Motor Speedway runs from April to November.
