Family-friendly vacation rentals in Appalachian Mountains

This is the second time we have stayed at this cabin. I like that it is in between town and the resorts and really appreciate that it is pet friendly. We enjoyed the view of the valley from the cabin, the fireplace and hot tub too.

Bills place was exactly what we needed. 15-20min to the top of Snowshoe, but still secluded. Our dog loved the snow and Billy’s dog. Billy offered great recommendations and quickly resolved any questions/issues we had.

My husband and I had an amazing getaway and this house was perfect! Clean, literally spotless! Close to everything such as restaurants, fun in the snow, and taking a trip down memory lane. We will definitely be booking another stay in the Spring time.

Thank you for allowing me to stay at your place. This was a very beautiful clean space that I was able to just relax. Thank you again for working with me.

We had a wonderful stay at the cabin for a cozy Valentine’s Day retreat. The rain/snow couldn’t keep us from enjoying the beautiful outdoors and after being outside we would warm back up in the hot tub. The kitchen had everything we needed to make the most delicious meals. The cabin made us feel right at home the moment we walked inside. Thank you Joseph for helping us create wonderful memories!

Seth and Carla were extremely responsive during our stay! We loved how many beds this house had and we were able to all spend time together while comfortably being seated around tables/living rooms! We wish the fire pit had seating or that fireplaces worked, but we loved this property and its proximity to wineries and ski resorts!

Amos was a terrific host! He was very accommodating and helped us out when our minivan got stuck in snow. The house was beautiful with amazing views. The kitchen had all of the essentials needed, beds were comfy, there were enough bathrooms for our big group, and there was plenty of room to sit & relax. We played lots of family games in the great room and one friend brought up watercolors to paint the incredible views. The kids had a great time playing in the snow and we were even able to get out to a nearby mountain to ski. If you are looking for a place to slow down and enjoy time with friends & family this is the place.

My friends and I had the best girls' weekend at this adorable cabin! The location was perfect, tucked away in the woods for a peaceful, cozy retreat but still super close to Bryson City and the Smokies. The cabin was spotless, well-stocked, and had such a warm, welcoming feel. We loved relaxing in the hot tub after a day of exploring, surrounded by the beautiful mountain scenery. The check-in process was seamless, and everything was easy to access. Michelle was super friendly and helped us with anything we needed! We can’t wait to come back!

Sweet little home, decorated beautiful and super easy to find and check in. Easy parking out front and very lovely fully fenced back yard, perfect for our pup. We would love to return in warmer months!

Dharma Wheel was a lovely place that we just loved. It was close enough to stores and restaurants without having to go to far out of the way. We would definitely recommend and would love to stay there again.

We had a fantastic stay! The place was spotless and had everything we needed for a perfect weekend with our family. The location was excellent, just a short drive (less than 5 minutes) to the beach and close to great restaurants. Highly recommend this spot for a relaxing and convenient getaway!

Tara was a great host, which any questions she got back to us with the answers almost immediately. The home was just as beautiful as the view and was a quick distance to the center of town. Fantastic place to gather with family for a cozy weekend in the woods. Most definitely will be staying with her listing again in the future!

We loved our weekend at Karen's place! The house was cozy and clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay (including treats for our pup)! The yard and deck were nice and private, and the house was conveniently located to many restaurants, shops, and not far from the water. Karen made us feel right at home!

We stayed almost a whole month and truly felt at home. Loved every single thing about this little cottage on an orchard. Pat is a superstar host in my book. Always responsive and helpful in any way. We loved the location it's the perfect mix of feeling isolated but really only 5 minutes to the grocery store. Everything you need for an extended stay is right here. We'll be back!

We had a wonderful girl's trip staying in Diana's house! We walked to the beach and to Scratch bakery (twice). The house was perfect for the five of us with a great sitting area to hang out and chat. The house was clean and the instructions for cleaning up were easy to follow.

Clara's cabin is an oasis of tranquility. Great for a weekend stay, and we could imagine staying even longer than that. Clara is an extremely welcoming and hospitable host, and every basic amenity you need is provided for. Hot water worked very well, despite the temperatures being in the teens consistently while we were there. The property is beautiful and offers a choose-your-own-adventure of activities. We certainly hope to be back soon!

We loved our stay! We had a great time as a family. one thing we thought of was we were very thankful our children were at the ages (5,3,2, 7 months) they were since there was lots and lots of glass stuff sitting around.

A group of 5 of us stayed here. We took advantage of skiing at Seven Springs, Laurel Mountain and Hidden Valley. This place was extremely convenient to Seven Springs and easy to get to the others. We had plenty of space for the group. The kitchen was well appointed, although we only fixed breakfast here. We'd definitely stay again.

This place was an awesome winter stay. the private beach looking onto the lake was perfect for a daytime fire. The windows of the living room looking out on the lake were beautiful and allowed us to enjoy the beauty surrounding us even when we were inside. The indoor heated pool is by far the best part

Carol’s place was beautiful! The pool was a nice bonus and it wasn’t too far from the falls! Carol was seriously, hands downs thee coolest airbnb host I’ve encountered yet!!! She was so funny and engaged when I had questions on how far things were or her recommendations on things to do nearby! I will def be back, if not to stay in her beautiful airbnb it will be to hang out with her!!! Thanks sooo much Carol! My sister and I had a blast and you made it 1000x funner!

Great host! 6 of us stayed at the airbnb and it was spacious, clean and we felt right at home. Super easy to community. Close to shopping, food and activities. We will deff stay here again.

We have rented from Elias before. Great host. Cute property close to water park, skiing and hiking.

Amazing location with a gorgeous yard! The house was fully stocked, making it a breeze to cook for our guests. Joseph was incredibly communicative and immediately took care of a minor issue in the basement. We had such a peaceful, bucolic stay—perfect for runners with lots of hills to explore. And the pool toys added so much fun to our weekend! Highly recommend!

My friends and I had such a wonderful time! The space was exactly how Megan described and Megan was easy to communicate with! It was a great space for the 3 of us. We had a nice relaxing time playing games and watching TV. Was a perfect getaway from the city!
