Family-friendly vacation rentals in Jackson County

This place is amazing! The house is beautiful, secluded, and quiet. We saw deer, a fox, and of course the horses, Chutes & Raisin who love eating carrots. The entire area is beautiful and Gainesville is a surprisingly hip town with a ton of great dining options. We’ll be booking again the next time we’re in the area. We can’t wait to return!

Hartwell manor is absolutely breathtaking. The pictures don’t do it justice. The house supplies everything needed and feels like home. We held a reception for our micro wedding and the house was perfect for entertaining!! Plenty of space and beautiful views. We can’t wait to come back. One thing missing is a guest book which would be cool for all the guest to sign! Overall, perfect for any occasion!

The best BnB we have ever stayed in. Everything was extremely lovingly furnished and the entire house was really impressive. We had a wonderful time and contact with the landlords was always easy. The pictures in the ad do not reflect the true beauty of the property. Simply outstanding. We'd love to come back.

Our family had a great time in the peaceful setting of Down at the Farm. We enjoyed fishing in the pond and relaxing in and around the pool. The host was very friendly and welcoming. A great place to create family memories.

This was an amazing experience. I started communicating with John 13 months before my sons wedding to stay there plus host a large rehearsal dinner. ( it grew to 80 people!). John allowed - welcomed me- to come see the property to check out the layout for what I needed giving my caterer information and planning for our stay. I needed to move furniture and a few other things and when I asked John if it was ok, his reply was, “it’s your house”, and I truly felt that way. It was comfortable and allowed for my family to stay and as we had a few revolving guests, John provided extra linens. The rehearsal dinner was on a hot August night and I had told folks to bring a bathing suit. Several of the bridal party and friends jumped in! The animals were fun and when a few of the kitties jumped in the car when we were leaving we were tempted to steal them! Our caterer for that dinner and a farewell brunch lived the set up of this place as well. I honestly cannot recommend it enough! Thanks John!

Jauxniece was a wonderful host. She and her husband were both responsive to any request or concern. The house was perfect for our multi-generational family gatherings. Lots of things to do at the house. All shopping you need is 5-10 minutes in any direction. We were there for a family wedding at West Milford Farms which was about 10-15 minutes from the house. A perfect location with wonderful hosts!

Great place to stay for a UGA home game. Big front lawn, fire pit, jacuzzi, comfortable interior, and walking distance from the stadium.

Some items were better than pictured. New furniture in living room and small appliances were nice. Master bed mattress/pillows could use an update. Previous guests didn’t clean as well as they probably should have and cleaning crew missed some details. Overall the house very nice and enjoyable. Wish we could have spent more time there. Kids loved the pool and hot tub.

Really fit what we needed. Hosts introduced themselves on arrival and even graciously offered to mail a couple articles of clothing back to me I'd forgotten in a closet. For future guests, since it is in the back of the main house, can take a second to confirm you're at the right address. The place is simple (for example, no oven or stove but does have a hot plate/griddle) as listed. It is only 20-30 minutes to walk to lots of various shops and restaurants so while the house itself is in a neighborhood, close enough to walk to things and don't have to get in a car. As long as you're not heading south, which hits the main road pretty quickly, they are all pretty nice walks to places.

Karen's place was a perfect getaway in the woods. It's located midway between Helen and Dahlonega which makes it perfect. Karen was very welcoming and responsive. Would love to come back to her place again.

Zoe was great. Very responsive! House was very cute.

Great place, I have a lifted truck so it was pretty tight but normal cars will be perfectly fine. A lot of parking and very nice home!!

I have stayed in many Airbnb this year, and Doo’s house is one of my top places. The house is spacious and clean. I also appreciated that the house was stocked with so many household items. I also liked that each room had a television in it. The Airbnb was cozy and peaceful.

We had an absolutely lovely stay at Krysia’s art house!! She is so kind and friendly and talented, and we felt right at home in Athens for the weekend. The perfect spot that’s walking distance to the town, and the place is full of beautiful handmade and local art to appreciate, plus kitties!!! Everything we needed was right there at our convenience, and she’s very detail oriented and thoughtful in so many aspects. It was so much fun walking around the sculpture garden and finding her artwork around the town! I’d definitely come back here again.

The house and the property were great! It was peaceful and spacious. Jamaica was attentive and communicative throughout the rental. Would recommend.

This was an amazing location. We we're at an event at UGA, and this location was at best a 5 minute drive there. There is a great shopping center right around the corner. We had our kids with us (12, 10, 8) and all the places we wanted to look okay we're within a 15 minutes drive. Jon was a great host, and was great to work with on the arrangements. I highly recommend this property.

I stayed here for four days with two of my kids one who is swimming at a state level meet at the Ramsey building. It was five minutes away and it was awesome. Two bedrooms with plenty of space and great little kitchen perfect for a dad and two kids to get in and get out efficiently. Communication with Neil was awesome. I had reached out before I had to verify that kitchen had some amenities that did and I was able to not only save money cooking tacos one night but also didn’t have to worry about bringing a frying pan from my home here in Atlanta. Also great Wi-Fi and streaming options on every television.

David's basement was as described and is in a private quiet area. Plenty of places to shop and eat nearby. David's girlfriend, Sandi, was extremely accommodating and would check in on me periodically to ask what would make my stay better. The hosts are very communicative and I would recommend this location to anyone looking for a clean and peaceful home away from home.

Only minutes away from Athens via scenic country roads. Easy access. Presumably the pool house of the host but felt private and actually never saw anyone else. Was a fall visit so didn’t use the pool though pool area looked fun.

Carla is awesome just like her rental. Great host Great location and great place. Will definitely be staying again. Carla made us feel at home. highly recommend this place.

Great location for walking to campus and the stadium. Go Dawgs!

Terrific place to stay. Shelby is a great host. We will stay again for sure.

We were in Atlanta for a baseball tournament and we had three families staying together. It fit our needs perfectly and the boys loved having the downstairs area. The pool was a fun addition for the boys in between games. Kroger was nearby for groceries and we had everything we needed to cook dinner every night. Tricia was very responsive and helped whenever we needed it. We would recommend this house and host 100%.
