Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Western North Carolina

Wow! We loved staying here. Such a beautiful house with great amenities! Highly recommend!

I really loved staying in Liz’s cottage. It was so peaceful and private. A perfect home base for our girl’s trip to the North Carolina mountains. The little stream that runs behind the cottage was one of our favorite parts. A great place to have some quiet time in the morning. Liz was also so responsive and helpful to the questions that I had. I cannot recommend enough.

My girlfriends and I stayed at Carrie’s for a long weekend and it was the perfect spot. Walkable or a quick 5 min drive to many restaurant and bar options and only 20 mins to downtown Asheville. I thought it was far more adorable in person. They thought of every little thing! I never felt like we didn’t have what we needed. This was one of my favorite Airbnb stays ever. Carrie had little notes and directions throughout the house to avoid any confusion and I found it so helpful and comforting! When I come back to Asheville in the future, I would 100% stay again, and my 3 girlfriends would agree. Seriously was the most perfect spot. So clean and tidy and the spaces to relax indoors or on the porch were so cozy. 10/10 recommend!!!

Absolutely gorgeous location and the amenities were fantastic. Sadly we only stayed a single night but we enjoyed every part of the house. My wife and daughter were enamored by the creek and outdoor experience even though a flash rainstorm prevented us from experiencing it after dinner. Great place we recommend it!

This is a beautiful home tucked into a peaceful little corner of the mountains. The house has all of the basics covered. The waterfalls in front of the house are beautiful and provide a constant white noise that I found to be very peaceful. However, the roar is surprisingly loud. The home is very automated (Alexa to control the lights, motioned sensing trash can, etc.) which I guess can be a pro or a con depending on preference. We especially loved all of the deck space! And I loved all of the windows that brought in a ton of natural light.

Greatly enjoyed our stay. The house was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed. Plenty of spots to sit, relax and look at the view. Especially loved the screened in porch. Food delivery can be tricky for drivers to find, be clear with instructions for them. Would definitely stay again.

Chimene’s place was one of my favorite Airbnb stays. It was peaceful, private, and surrounded by fresh air and sweet animals. The setting felt like a true escape, and the home itself was clean, cozy, and even more welcoming than the photos show. My dad had a mishap and Chimene handled it so well with grace and understanding. Will always value that. Her kindness and the overall atmosphere made this a memorable and refreshing experience. I’d gladly stay here again.

The Rosa Villa was perfect for our 3 day get away! This home was beautiful & had EVERY necessity you can imagine from lotions, to weighted blankets to nicely stocked mini kitchenette! Close to downtown & the Biltmore at the end of the road! Hosts we there with anything we needed. When we come back in the fall will definitely book this home again!

A great place to stay in asheville! Rom and Dawn were incredibly welcoming and the place had all we needed to have a great weekend! Highly recommend.

The place was great, even though it was a very quick stay. The mattresses were very comfortable, place was clean & inviting. My wife really admired their garden and has now decided we are adding a butterfly garden to our farmstead. We would def stay again.

This is my second stay here, which I rebooked on the spot during my 1-night stay last year. I stayed 5 nights this time to attend a dance weekend at nearby Warren Wilson College, a mere 7-minute drive. The space was very clean and well equipped abd felt very private, despite actually being attached to the main house. The hosts were attentive and responsive to my needs and were friendly, helpful, abd informative when we happened to run into each other outside. Wildlife was abundant, and I really enjoyed watching whatever might happen along from my own front porch. Fireflies at night, birds galore, roosters crowing nearby, chipmunks, butterflies, and yes! I actually saw 2 bears one day, each at a separate time, wandering on different sides of the yard. One of hosts alerted me the day before that there were 2 in the yard, but I missed seeing that (he did send me photos), and the day I saw the bears, I sent him video and he sent me a photo of a coyote that had been out there earlier.

Sweet upstairs unit surrounded by lovely greenery. Easy check in experience with easy going hosts that like to accommodate. Close to downtown Weaverville but down a lovely dead end road with very little traffic and pastoral views.

Johnny’s place offered everything I needed and more for a night. It’s easy to walk into and around the little town Banner Elk, but it also has beautiful and peaceful surroundings. Johnny and his wife are very friendly and welcoming. I enjoyed my visit!

We had such a wonderful stay!!! The apartment and gardens were so lovely, peaceful, and private. The apartment was very clean, beautifully decorated, and had the perfect view of the gardens. The location is perfect and made walking to town a breeze! We so enjoyed talking to Walter and sherry too. They were an absolute delight! Highly recommend this gem! We can’t wait to visit again!

The place was nice, neat and peaceful! I had a little issues getting in but Brian was prepared with alternatives. I would definitely stay here again!

Muffi and Tim’s place was awesome! Very homey and comfortable but also packed with extra amenities even beyond what were listed. It’s tucked away and peaceful but within 5-10 minutes of just about everything, 15-20 minutes for the farther parts of the city. Clean and cozy and highly recommended!

Simon and Julia are super helpful and kind. The place was just as expected, kitchen was fully equipped, everything was clean - and beautiful views. You can hear the neighbors pretty clear upstairs - but you can’t do much about that - plus it was disclosed in the listing. So overall I give 5 stars to Julia and Simon because THEY were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING - super responsive, I will definitely be returning ❤️ p.s. my bro forgot his wallet in the bnb after we checked out and there was absolutely no issue going back to find it - they are a delightful couple.

Amanda’s hidden gem was an amazing spot for me and my boyfriend to escape reality from! Check-in was very easy, and her space was very easy to find. Her space looks just like the pictures and we felt right at home. Amanda was also kind enough to supply some light snacks and coffee cups for the place which we were very grateful for! It was very clean, and we felt very safe and right at home. We were also able to have access to the country club, which we went for the hot tub which was so nice! The view from the balcony was amazing!! Overall, we loved our stay with Amanda and we will be back for a ski trip!! :)

I can not say enough about this beautiful little gem in the woods! It was so well decorated and all the little thoughtful additions, like a bag of local coffee and heated bed covers were just perfect and exactly what I needed for this get away to reconnect with myself and nature. I barely left the condo, because the view was so spectacular and how cozy the home felt! I was visited by a bunch of different birds on the cute patio where I painted a few of them as I sipped coffee and just listened to the breeze ruffle the leaves or rain shower that softly fell! Definitely hope to return very soon!

Trey’s place hit all the marks for what I needed - clean, cozy, comfy, and affordable. Bonus points for an amazing loose leaf tea selection, gorgeous mountain views at sunrise and sunset, and close to everything I wanted to do in the area. (Grandfather Mtn, Linville Falls, Wilderness Run Alpine Coaster were on my list - did them all in a day.) All instructions were clear and easy, and I had everything I needed for an enjoyable weekend away in the NC mountains. Go stay here and support western NC!! I hope to come back again soon :)

Gabriel’s place was exactly as listed. Gabriel and co-hosts responded within minutes and gave clear instructions to everything needed to ensure a smooth stay. The distance is very reasonable and can be done multiple times a day. Would recommend!

We had a great stay at this Airbnb! The home was incredibly clean, well-organized, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The location was perfect—just a short walk to excellent restaurants, cafes, and shops, which made exploring the area super convenient. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and well-located place to stay!

This is my third stay at Hunter’s Airbnb and I’ve really enjoyed each trip! The condo is spotlessly clean and very airy, and has a stunning view out the large front windows. It’s well set up, with a surprising amount of room for stashing your stuff. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet, and I loved taking walks there. There are also lots of hiking trails very close by, although a few are currently still closed due to damage from Helene. The internet is very fast and dependable, which is not always the case at Beech Mountain. I’ve used my stays as a writing retreat and always get a shocking amount done, while soaking in the lovely atmosphere. I will definitely be back!

Amazing ! Wonderful! One of the best Abb’s we’ve had the pleasure of staying at . We can’t wait to go back !
