Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Vinton County

The host was the most attentive we have ever had, we appreciate the thoughtful gestures that made us feel welcome. We had to leave early for a family emergency and they were very supportive. We will definitely come back!

Location was perfect. Perched on a hill with a big comfy deck off the back of the house. Deck also features a huge hot tub which was clean and we all enjoyed. Steps down led to a fire pit. S’mores were so good! Wonderful views from every window. Entire place was spotless. Beds were so comfy. Upstairs BR with bunks for younger ones was perfect. Also a second lounge with couch/TV. Downstairs was massive. 4 bedrooms arranged Jack and Jill style. Closet with w/d and extra fridge-was so nice to have. Kitchen was well stocked. Had everything needed to prepare nice meals. If cooking for a very large group may need to bring some larger serving dishes. I also brought my crock pot. Large island with 8 bar stools. Open concept to the dining and main living spaces. Super long dining table that could fit an army! Living area had 4 full size couches and 2 loveseats. Plenty of comfy seating for everyone to sit, watch a movie and enjoy some popcorn. We hiked trails that were the dreamy!

We had family coming in from out of town and no room at our place, so we put them up in Velvet's beautiful manor. Check in was so easy, and everything was clean and beautiful! The location is incredibly convenient, just off the main road and just a few minutes from the Dollar General and also from Lake Alma. We will definitely be back!

What a great place to stay! Well appointed, private, quiet. House was pristine on arrival. This place feels like it is worth the money! Dean is very responsive, helpful, and provided outstanding communication throughout. We will definitely be back!

Stayed here with multiple families and kids and it was perfect!! The kids loved being on their own floor in the basement and every couple had their own bedroom! The common area was spacious and plenty of dining space!! We had an amazing time having game tournaments in the game area as well!

Beautiful property. Lovely farmhouse nestled into peaceful rolling fields. We loved just sitting by the campfire overlooking the pond. Very secluded. From the back yard you can't see any neighbors. very peaceful. easy ride to beautiful Hocking Hill State Park. The hosts were very responsive to any questions/concerns. we had a wonderful family vacation.

This was our third time there. Sharon and Charlie are great hosts! They answer quickly and are very helpful with local recommendations. They keep the firefly spotless as well! We will return again and again!

My girlfriend and I had our 4 year anniversary trip here and it was nothing short of AMAZING! Abigail was so amazing, answered me on questions if I needed anything because we are new to the area & she helped us so much and had the place so cute and clean! One thing I would recommend is go to the hot tub as soon as you get there and try to get it down to 104 or lower!! We unfortunately waited until the last day to try it out and it was too hot to get in but that was on us! Abigail and this getaway are amazing! Perfect for a fun trip for 2! Thank you Abigail 😁❤️

Spacious enough for one or two people. I usually stay far away from anyone, but being behind their house really wasn't an issue. 20 minutes outside Athens. Check out the nearby rural grocery store, which still has a non-electronic gas pump!

I’m a return guest and have absolutely loved every stay at Water’s Edge. Deni’s place is clean, cozy, and welcoming. Close to hiking at local State Parks and nature preserves, a short drive to local shops and restaurants in Athens, and a lovely, peaceful oasis to enjoy if you want to stay in. Deni is a thoughtful and friendly host who I feel privileged to have met and chatted with on several occasions. I will keep coming back as often as I can. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed our stay at Patti’s. The house was clean and comfortable. We appreciated the Keurig to make coffee in the morning. We especially enjoyed sitting out on the front porch and watching the hummingbirds. This was a great spot for us to stay to break up a long road trip. Patti was a great host and very proactive with communication. The only negative is that there is a dog kennel nearby with barking dogs. This took away from the peacefulness of sitting out on the porch in the late evening. However, the dog barking didn’t disturb us inside with the AC units running. So, it wouldn’t stop us from staying here again.

Nice, small, relaxing place with a pond. Close to Downtown McArthur. Easy checkin. Nice people. Will definitely stay again.

I would highly recommend this to anyone! This place was phenomenal and quiet and peaceful. Christine and Matt went beyond what anyone would expect. A lot of extra’s that you would not expect, like smores for the fire out back, snacks and drinks, a cheesecake, tooth paste, body wash, shampoo and conditioner. Extremely clean, extra blankets, pillows, robes, many towels, this place is extra clean, quiet. There is a hot tub, and a fire pit for the relaxing evenings. We will return without hesitation. Thank you Matt and Christine you two are the best, and very appreciated more than you know. Thank you again.

We loved our time here! We enjoyed walking the beautiful property, seeing all of the flowers and gardens Natalie is growing, sitting by the pond and visiting the animals. We look forward to coming back again!

Beautiful and stately old home that has been lovingly restored. Loved the fireplace and the sleigh bed. The tub was very quaint. Gardens were lovely. House was in a very nice neighborhood and it was so nice to be able to walk up town and to the park!

What a wonderful retreat! I stayed by myself as a little momma get away and it was perfect. The Zucchini bread is as good as everyone says! The hot tub was wonderful! The hosts were extremely responsive whenever I needed anything and really helpful! There are even games and toys for kids/toddlers if that is what you’re doing. I of course was vacationing FROM the kids toys lol but I love that if we go back there are things for the kids. Be advised that this is a basement apartment so you’ll hear footsteps and sometimes muffled voices just like you would in any house. It didnt bother me at all! The views are spectacular and the property is just so peaceful. 10/10 would recommend for sure!!
