Family-friendly home rentals with a hot tub

Cloud 9 Cabin Amazing views minutes from town
The view is incredible! We enjoyed early morning soaks in the hot tub overlooking the Smoky Mountains. The carpenter bees were a nuisance on the porch the first day, but they seemed to settle in after that, and didn’t bother us. Our Hyundai sonata (front wheel drive) made it up to the cabin but the drive is much easier with four wheel drive. The home was clean and there was absolutely no musty smell that I’ve noticed in a few cabins in the past. The town of Bryson city was super close and very cute to walk around or stop for lunch. Highly recommend!

West AVL Entire Home- Hot Tub, Fenced Yard, Close
What a wonderful stay! The yard is perfect for relaxing and for our pups. This stay has everything you could need. It is only a short drive to Asheville, and there is an Ingles market super close. Beth was very friendly and a great host. We would absolutely come back and stay here again :)

Blue Haven Cabin
617 - 619 We had a very good time here! The bed was very comfy even though the tv was on one Channel lol. The jacuzzi was Very nice and relaxing. We reccomend going to the tuskasegee animal Farm and petting zoo. super cute goats and Sheep especially Lola!

VIEWS from the Treetops, Hot Tub, Fireplace
This is our second stay here. The space is clean and simple, with plenty of room in the kitchen to cook. The view and peaceful surroundings are more than worth the drive up the mountain.

Spotted Rock Cabin - Hot Tub - Brevard
Amazing views and secluded for a perfect place to disconnect and feel refreshed.

Chattooga Lakefront Cabin w/ Hot Tub + Pvt. Dock!
This place was so peaceful and relaxing. We stayed on the dock or around the fire pit. Mornings were spent drinking coffee on the deck with the gorgeous lake views. Never even turned the TV on. The house was clean and well stocked. There’s lots to do in the area as well. Definitely will be back.

Porch with grill, Hot Tub, Firepit, Pet friendly
Humminbird Haven was so peaceful and quiet. It felt very private. It's adorable and homey on the inside. Having the hot tub just outside the bedroom doors is very convenient. I recommend Michelle, and I will be back again.

Mountain Views Every Room - 2 Master Suites, COZY
We had a very restful 3 nights at this home. We appreciated the quiet nights since we live in a loud city. The mountain views from the home were stunning. We walked through the beautiful neighborhood and saw turkeys, chipmunks, various birds, water streaming down rocks, and hydrangeas. We had a great time.
Family- and pet-friendly home rentals

Home near the Sapphire River
The condo was exactly as described. It was very comfortable for our family of four. Well stocked kitchen, homey decorations. We especially loved the screen porches. Richard sent clear instructions for check in and check out. Overall, a very nice stay!

Creekside family/pet friendly cabin.
We absolutely loved staying at this cabin near the river and close to town. It's about a 30 minute drive from Waynesville which is close enough for convenience but far enough away for peace and quiet. The area surrounding the cabin is stunning and private. Charles is an excellent host and the entire experience was well organized. We have absolutely nothing bad to say nor any recommendations for improvement. We would definitely stay there again 10/10

Riverfront Cabin | Mtn Views, Fishing & Rafting
We really enjoyed our time at the cabin. Location was great and the deck over the river's edge was wonderful. Only suggestion we would have is a vacuum for the cabin versus just a broom. Rate was great and we will be back.

The Lodge at Laurel Falls Mountain Retreat Brevard
What a view from the back porch! The cabin is very well equipped. The drive in can be a bit rough. But very worth it. The cabin was very comfortable for our family to stay in. The falls behind the cabin are worth the trek down the mountain.

Farmhouse Charmer
Brenda's place is fantastic - cute, clean, peaceful, and well stocked with everything I needed. It's a short walk to the lake, which is beautiful. Brenda was on top of communication and allowed us a late checkout. I would definitely stay again.

"No Visitors" Mountain Retreat
Great spot and a short drive from downtown Brevard . Peaceful , serene , and inviting property ! We will be back !

Private Mid-Century Gem w/ Yard, Walk to Downtown
This was a wonderful long weekend destination! The home was beautiful, clean, and well stocked with linens and kitchen essentials. We really enjoyed our stay here!

Creek Front - Trail Nut Cabin at Moody Hollow
Wonderful cabin with great character and rustic charm. We stayed with our boys 10 & 12, they loved that their beds were in the separate area downstairs with their own bathroom and fridge, it made them feel like they had their own space. They had a great time playing in the creek! We are avid campers/hikers, this was exactly what we had in mind. It is very rustic but this was a plus for us, really gives you that mountain/camping vibe. Anything we needed to cook with was available in the kitchen. Beds were comfy, and wifi worked well. All of the decorations were really cool to check out and added to that genuine rustic feeling. If you're looking for a rustic cabin feel, this is the place for you.
Family-friendly home rentals with a pool

VIEWS! 100+MB WIFI! firepit, private, convenient
Gorgeous mountain retreat is a perfect way to describe this property. I found everything in the description of this property to be true. In my opinion Karla’s description was very humble and we found the property to be much better than expected. Entire family celebrated my father’s 90th birthday, and found the house plenty spacious for all of us. With full living space on the main level and downstairs we never felt crowded.The house was immaculate and very well stocked with items that were above and beyond any other property I’ve ever stayed in right down to the firewood. Directions were easy to follow and communication was always done in a timely fashion. If you want to relax, do nothing, enjoy the views this is the place for you. If you want to be active, go hiking, play golf, tennis, etc. this is the place for you. If you want to grill out and watch football with the gang, this place is for you. So if you have a large group, and you are looking for a mountain getaway, I recommend that you stop looking and book this property NOW!!

Lakefront cabin getaway
The Lake house was one of the quietest and most peaceful air b-and-b's we have stayed at. The new back deck is the highlight of the lake cabin. The rest of the cabin is fully equipped and functional, but we hardly left the back deck. With its fenced in area and gate was perfect for the dog. The kayaks and dock are a nice addition. It is located close to good dining at Micas restaurant and Whiteside brewery. We came for the hiking in Panthertown area. We will be back again.

Lake Life Upper Apt-2 min walk to Lk Junaluska ASM
This is my second time staying at this fantastic spot, and it was just as great as the first. They are wonderful hosts, the place is a real hidden gem, and the community has so much to offer. It certainly won't be my last time here!

Grey Haven Cabin in Connestee Falls
Nice and quiet location with ample room for 4 people. Enjoyed the many hiking trails on the property and Brevard is a quick 15 minute drive. Would stay there again.

Luxury 4BR-3BA Lakefront Cashiers-No Fees By Owner
This was a great house to stay at. Very comfortable and home like. Loved the view and the large deck. Had everything we needed including toys for kids. Good area, near lots of stuff to do including using the resort amenities, restaurants, waterfalls and shopping. Would stay again.

Beautiful Cozy Mountain Retreat
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

Rustic, Mountains w/Hot Tub, Swim, Tennis & Golf
We were having our family Christmas get together and was so happy that the house was still beautifully decorated for Christmas. That made our gathering extra special! The house was perfect for our group!

Beautiful, cozy, mountain retreat.
I loved the condo and the area. It was decorated nicely, the beds were comfy, and it had all we needed, even a recliner! The screened in porch was my favorite. It felt like you were in a treehouse. Alan was a very friendly and helpful host. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to possibly return next year!
