Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Jackson County

We had a great relaxing time at Greta's place. The place was roomy and had everything we needed. It was private and and surrounded by only the sound of nature up a beautiful mountain. The beds were comfy and we enjoyed roasting marshmallows by the campfire and sitting on the roomy outside deck under the dancing trees in the cool breeze. Greta was helpful and responsive. It was a perfect place for us. We will definitely come back and would recommend this Airbnb to anyone. Thank you Greta for your hospitality and kindness. Louise and Stuart (aka Butch)

This fishing hole cabin was perfect for our little family!! We stayed here over 3 days for our daughter’s graduation from WCU. Convenient location, minutes from the quaint downtowns of Dillsboro and Sylva! And if you Love Thai Food, don’t miss Dalaya Thai, seriously the BEST Thai food we’ve ever had and I’m a Huge Foodie!! Great fishing spots right across the street from the cabin!

What a beautiful and relaxing place to go. A true hikers treehouse to escape to and unwind.

Absolutely perfect. We stayed for the week with our five kids (6,4,3, & 1 year old twins) and had an amazing family vacation. The space worked perfectly for our needs as a large family with small kids and the beach area was especially perfect for toddler playtime. The waterfall across the way was stunning and we loved boating around, fishing, swimming, fires by the lake, and rainy evenings in the hot tub. Such an amazing place for families!

We had the best weekend at the cottage. Easy, quick drive to downtown highlands. Some highlights - The pizza oven was great for making pizzas, grill was fantastic for grilling steaks, fire pit for s’mores and the Hot tub was used several times. The kids loved the bunk room. The house was beautifully decorated and we felt right at home. We hope to be back soon!

We were in the area with our kids for some music gigs, and Selena‘s place was in a great location for us! We played in several nearby towns, and Franklin as well, which is just a few minutes away. The scenery was absolutely beautiful with the Mountain View off of the deck, as well as the various goats and donkeys in the pasture right across the street. The house had everything we needed, and more! We felt right at home as soon as we walked in the door. We would highly recommend this listing to anyone! Thank you, Selena, for a wonderful stay!

A great homebase for exploring Sylva and surrounding area. Comfy setup inside with great decor, peaceful neighborhood and a great perch from which to take it all in. Thanks Arlene!

Our family of 4 and one fur baby had a great stay here! We were in Sylva to celebrate Father’s Day with our daughter’s future in laws who traveled from Atlanta. Carmela’s home provides a kitchen with EVERYTHING you could need to cook meals and the deck was perfect for the evenings! Carmela has thought of everything a guest could possibly need….. s’more fixings for the fire pit, a pack and play and high chair (if needed), dog towels and bowls, cozy blankets, and extra personal accessories if you forgot something. The home was very clean as well! We would stay here again if we need to stay in Sylva.

We loved staying in Roxanne's place. It was pretty, clean and comfortable. It was also very convenient to town and easy to walk to everything. The place matched the description and the pictures. Roxanne was easy to communicate with and was very responsive. Her instructions were clear and easy to follow. Hope to stay here again when back in this area.

This was the nicest Airbnb we have ever stayed in. It was small, but had everything we needed to enjoy our week. It was nice to be able to cook some of our meals in the well supplied kitchen. Everything was very clean and neat, and the surroundings were beautiful. We were able to spend time with Steve and Susie and they were very helpful and enjoyable. The only problem we had was finding the home on the first day, but this was due to road construction that blocked the way into the residential area. We had to come through the main gate of Lake Junaluska and stop for directions. The neighborhood was very nice and we enjoyed walking around the lake and just sitting, enjoying the scenery. We hope to someday return and enjoy this lovely apartment again.

This Air BNB is in the perfect location to everything in Highlands and walking distance to downtown. I have stayed there several times and it has ample space for two.

10/10 would recommend. The place is beautiful. Just like all the other reviews you’ll read so cute, very clean.

Incredible location for our visit to Sylva. It was a short walk to all the shopping and restaurants. Will definitely stay again.

Rebecca’s place was great! It was clean and matches the pictures in the listing. We stayed at Rebecca’s to attend a wedding at the Laurel Ridge Country club which was about 5 minutes away. Rebecca was responsive and check in / out was easy!

ms.sandy and her husband are the sweetest people ever, we missed check in by 4 hours so she was worried and made sure we were okay, upon arrival and her explaining everything to us she took the time to made sure we ate something and made us a smoothie just in case we didn’t. she has the most beautiful home and it’s exactly like the pictures. when you look over the balcony at night you see the most beautiful firefly’s, and wake up to the most brightest sunrises, you can even see the mountains in the back!! the room was so clean and spacious so we will definitely be back again and hopefully for longer!

This place was a quaint, beautiful space that was extremely convenient and walkable to all the great spots on Main St. It was just as described and Marita was extremely flexible and responsive with me. When I am back in the area I will definitely stay here again.

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!

We enjoyed this condo very much! The views are beautiful. We walked the community everyday and the residents and club staff were incredibly friendly. We will be back!

Great home base for our golf and hiking week. Nicely decorated, well equipped and well designed layout with a pleasant terrace to relax in at the close of each day. Close to Smoky Mountain National park and good restaurants nearby in Waynesville.

Peaceful escape to the mountains. We loved this peaceful condo in a beautiful setting. Highly recommend!

We are usually in Waynesville at least twice each year, and Mainstay has become our choice of accommodations. We agree with all the positive comments regarding location, cleanliness and comfort, and the high quality of the building renovation. The laminated wood trusses in the main room are especially impressive. The photos don't show the inside of the elevator, but it is as clean and modern as the rest of the building, and has the added advantage of making it possible to take all your stuff up to the apartment in one trip (or, in our case, four trips). The host's level of service is every bit as excellent as the physical appointments--all our requests, whether before, during, or after our stays, have always been met with a rapid response that answers our questions and solves our problems.

We booked last minute and by that, a day and a half before we arrived. Darlene responded within minutes and made arrival so easy with perfect directions/information. Darlene checked in with us during our visit and with the welcome packet Darlene sent us, I had minimal if any questions. The place exceeded our expectations and was so very close to the club and all the amenities. View was beyond! The only negative was we never saw a bear. 😂 We will be back!

We absolutely loved our stay here! We came with our 4 year old and our teenager. Both of them had a great time and had plenty of things to do that they both enjoyed, which is not usually the case with their age gap. The place itself had lots of toys and books for my toddler and her own bed. There were also games to play with my teenager as well. The kitchen was fully stocked and the house had all the little details like beach towels, an airfryer, and a picnic basket. The screened porch was a favorite location for all us to enjoy. We even saw a bear one day from the porch! The resort was a blas!. We utilized both in the indoor and outdoor pools, the mini golf, and the lake. We had no problem finding good food at the restaurants around us and the store was super close as well. We spent half of our time at the resort and half of it out exploring the nature surrounding us. There were sooo many waterfalls to see. It is such a beautiful area, we will most definitely be coming back!

The place was so beautiful, clean, and spacious. The neighborhood was so friendly and quiet. We cannot wait to visit again!
