Family-friendly holiday rentals in Appalachian Mountains

Chrissy’s place was an absolute dream! We wanted to get away from the city and so glad we chose Chrissy’s cottage. It was peaceful and only 3 minute walk to the beach. The beach was empty and we had it all to ourselves. We had such a lovely time just sitting around the firepit, making smores and watching our fur baby play in the backyard. The cottage itself was very clean and spacious! It was fully stocked and equipped with everything you could possibly need. Highly highly recommend! We’re already talking about returning there and we just got back from the trip!

We thoroughly enjoyed the cabin. The cabin was well designed, And the decorating is spectacular! And the views are absolutely breathtaking.! The only things we were disappointed in is, there are no screens on the window and the water pressure is very low.

Awesome stay! Loved the cabin. If we needed anything, we had our questions answered diligently.

Really beautiful place with lots of character! So peaceful and amazing views!! We loved it. :). Thanks Julie!

This property is exactly as described in the listing. Gorgeous view, comfortable, and easy to settle in to. My kids loved the well stocked toy shelves and hot tub, and my husband and I were able to cook and enjoy the beautiful view on the deck. Heather was incredibly kind, helpful, and gracious in all our interactions. Will definitely book again.

Oh my, if you’re looking for a peaceful, secluded stay, you’re in for a treat! The noise of the world was quieted in this pristine location, surrounded by rolling hills, pastures, a big open sky, and farm animals. Don’t expect to find much to do in the area, this is simply a retreat, away from the busyness of life. My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay here, particularly the quiet mornings on the porch overlooking the beauty and the evenings in the hot tub watching stars and being surrounded by almost complete darkness. We had a lovely chat with Kevin the first morning that we were there - he is very authentic, kind, thoughtful, and comfortable. We wouldn’t hesitate returning to this gem!

Loved it! Clean and comfortable with everything we needed plus a hot tub and a fantastic view. I wish i could have stayed longer. Nadine was patient with my dumb questions haha...

This is a magical space! I am so glad we found Ginny's hidden oasis. It was quiet and peaceful. My wife and I fell asleep each night to the sound of rain on the roof and/or the serenading of frogs and creepers. We will definitely return!

We had a wonderful stay at the cabin! This property was incredible, so beautiful and peaceful. The cabin itself is very cool and in great condition albeit rustic. The only shower is an outdoor shower, which was warm and serene. That’s the kind of unique quirk of rental that makes the experience extra memorable. There are tons of sitting areas outside from the swing on the covered porch to the area around the sunken fire pit, all which overlook the large field on the property and the horse field at the adjacent property. Another perk was that it was dog-friendly as we had our two dogs with us, who loved the property as well. Overall, such a great experience at Judith’s place and I recommend to anyone coming into the area who is looking to disconnect and relax!

My partner and I stayed with our dog at The Escape Pod - would highly recommend. Hosts were amazing and responsive, and the place was absolutely beautiful and peaceful. Would highly recommend, and we will be back for sure!

Very scenic view! Clean modern interior. Very communicative host. Really enjoyed our short stay!

Our second time staying at Maitopia with our cat, just as wonderful in a different warmer season. Tina was super responsive as usual and even accommodated a late checkout. We enjoyed feasting in the kitchen as well as grilling in the yard, floating around in the pool when it was warm enough out, "hiking" with our cat on a leash around the forest on the property, taking baths, streaming music. We didn't leave the property much, but it was a fun highlight to get a few local produce items at nearby Greig farm and meet the adorable goats. One tip- bring an eyemask if you're sensitive to light in the mornings- there aren't any window shades in the bedroom.

Mary's Place on Faraway pond. Is absolutely amazing, the peaceful surroundings and quiet wildlife, makes you just not want to go anywhere else. The house has everything to make you want to not go anywhere else either The kitchen amenities would make Gordan Ramsey, jealous. The stars at night so many and so bright. Cant wait to return

We loved our 1 night stay! The lake was gorgeous, the lodge was cozy, and the bed was comfy. We played cards in front of the fireplace in the evening time, beautiful fireplace! Got pizza at Tony’s and brought it back for dinner. We can also recommend the Thai restaurant called “Little Peppers” that’s in town. We caught 30 fish in 2.5 hours with a rooster tail lure. Bass, bluegill, and crappie. Biggest one we caught was over a 12” long. Fished between 4:30-6:30pm and then the following morning between 8:30-9:30am. Fish were biting like crazy at all times! We fished from the dock and also from different spots on shore as we walked to all the accessible spots of the lake. Outside showers were awesome! Other wildlife we spotted were: 15 Canadian Geese hanging out on the pond, 3 heron (2 blue/1 white), 2 deer, and a groundhog! The deck, outside seating, and planted foliage and flowers were so beautiful. The view is incredible. The host is super sweet and so helpful ❤️

The Little Minka was everything that Daniel said it would be. A beautiful, peaceful, quiet, cozy home with an amazing minimalist aesthetic. Definitely a great place for a weekend getaway if you’re looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. Would recommend and look forward to booking again!

This was our third trip out to Jim & Jo Ellen’s property and it didn’t disappoint! So secluded, so beautiful, and so fun. While there’s a ton of hiking and other activities available, we just spent our time by the campfire (bring your own chairs) and soaked in the sights and sounds of nature. While there’s cell service and some limited solar power, plan for an “off grid” stay (which we love). If you don’t have a 4x4 vehicle with relatively high clearance, take them up on their offer to shuttle you in and out. In short, it’s a 5-hour drive from where we live and we wouldn’t have returned twice if it wasn’t awesome. Highly recommended .

My wife and I had a LOVELY time! Intimate and relaxing space! Beautiful view! This is Glamping at its finest! Highly recommend for a romantic getaway!

This beautiful property has a special place in our hearts. We stayed in the A frame during COVID and we always wanted to come back. This time we stayed in the main house and it was phenomenal. Wish the weather was better for us to use the pool, but next time! It well worth the price. Only an hr from the city and it feels like a full vacation. Wonderful way to lose time time for a few days. We will be back!

We had a lovely weekend getaway at the Tini House in Concord! The space is definitely tiny but so well distributed, every corner is thoughtfully used. The bed was super comfy, and little details like the rain boots and wood logs for the firepit made the experience extra special. The eco-shower was surprisingly refreshing and added to the charm of the place. It was incredibly peaceful and the perfect spot to disconnect. The only thing we weren’t crazy about was the shared eco-restroom, but overall, it was a wonderful stay. Thank you for the peaceful escape!

Cute little place on a stunningly beautiful property! Our host was always responsive. We'd love to come back!

Arriving at this Janice and Tom’s cabin, our jaws were on the floor. The cabin itself is gorgeous, surrounded by nature and with a wrap around porch to enjoy the sounds of the river and watch fireflies light up at dusk. The pool and pool house are where we spent most of our time. With lounge chairs, a fridge for snacks and drinks and views of the pond and forest, it was a great place to spend our days and cool off. Janice and Tom were communicative, helpful and kind! We absolutely loved our stay and highly recommend to those looking for a break from the hustle and bustle. It was an incredible place to reconnect with friends and with nature. Thank you so much Janice and Tom!!

The house met all expectations everything is stylishly done, and the host is incredibly responsive and helpful 🤍

Clean place and courteous hosts. Would recommend for weekend getaway

The little House is so beautiful and just like the photos. Julia is extremely friendly and responsive. The front porch and lovely bathtub were our favorites. Our fur babies loved it too. I do not think enough people mention how gorgeous the sunrise and sunset are at the property either! Thank you Julia for making special memories even better.
