Family-friendly holiday rentals in Elon

Emily’s home was bright, comfortable, and set in a beautiful, leafy neighborhood filled with trees and gardens. The setting was peaceful and quiet, yet just a pleasant 15-minute walk from downtown Durham’s vibrant mix of restaurants, cafés, and bars. A perfect introduction to Durham’s relaxed and welcoming vibe.

This place was peaceful and easy to travel in and out of for us to visit relatives in the area. The hosts were very responsive and provided recommendations in the area. It was also nice seeing their horse and chickens.

Angel's place is amazing and well stocked and clean. The view of the cove is beautiful.

the property was described perfectly!! the location is quiet with easy assess to interstate.

We stayed here with 12 of our family members for graduation and it was the perfect place for all of us! The kitchen was great. We loved the outdoor space (and the hot tub). They’ve done a great job preserving the historic nature of the house while also updating- my Aunt was raving about how much she loved the shower! We loved that we could walk to the farmers market on Saturday morning! Taylor was so responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Thank you!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the yurt! Linda will be the first to warn you that this is more like camping than a hotel, but there is something very special about this place.

Highly recommend this apartment. Terrific amenities and close to everything. Melissa was very positive to work with and a great proactive communicator.

Jeremy was extremely responsive and very accommodating. He provided us with all the information about the house, the boat rental, and the area. I would definitely visit again

We all had a fabulous time. This place was so peaceful and comfortable. Hope was a very responsive host. The farm was very relaxing and it has everything that you would need.The kitchen is fully stocked.The fire pit was great for cooking s’mores! Overall I couldn’t recommend it enough :)

I was here with my daughter n grand daughter n twin cousins and this was exactly what was needed for our stay. Grateful am I! The toilet paper roll was priceless thank you! If back n WS will book here if available.

Marianne’s spot was super accessible, super cozy, and super accommodating. Marianne herself was wonderful and greeted us as we arrived. It was our first time staying at a bnb where the host was attached to the space but it was a wonderful stay and we’d totally stay again next time we’re in the triangle. Very solid if you need a chill little overnight.

This home was one of the most well-appointed Airbnb’s I have ever stayed in! Our hosts have truly thought of everything. The location is fabulous, because it’s really close to downtown Pittsboro with all its lovely shops and restaurants, as well as easy access to Hwy 64. This location is also extremely close to The Plant, which has additional shops, restaurants, breweries, and activities. The setting is peaceful and relaxing.

We thoroughly enjoyed a long weekend at Michelle’s house while visiting family in the area. The house was as described - very clean, comfortable and well appointed. Easy walking distance to access the High Point Greenway, and close to many restaurants and bars. We would definitely consider Michelle’s house for future stays.

I stayed with my 11 year old and her friend and it was the perfect place for us. The girls spent most of their time outside on the tree swings or wading in the small creek. I can’t even tell you how their TV is because the kids were having such fun outside (a small miracle to have them off screens.) Barbara and her daughter Liz were wonderful and so communicative. The place is really cute and had everything we needed. My daughter has requested we stay there every visit to Chapel Hill. ☺️

My husband and I had a great time again staying here! We absolutely loved the convenience of being lake front. The porch was also so delightful to sit and watch afternoon thunderstorms! We would highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a quiet, private summer getaway.

No actual electricity! Not a problem, but less apparent on listing! They accommodate appropriately (generator charging and a fan to be used and headlamp for walk to bathhouse). Overall, wonderful stay and great - just would like more realistic expectation on listing :)

Thaddeus was the best host I have had to date. Over delivered in every category!

House was great, pretty private, great pool. Lots of space for the family and there were snacks out for us which everyone really enjoyed. Had everything we needed for our stay. The only negative about the house was listed no pets. But there clearly were pets that lived there. Being highly allergic to animals with fur that probably would have not chosen that location. I needed to medicate the whole time. Other than that the home was what we needed.

Allen was a great host. I would definitely stay there again! Thanks for everything Allen.

I had a great stay at this Airbnb! The space was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described in the listing. Check-in was easy, and the host was super friendly and quick to respond to any questions I had. The location was perfect—close to restaurants, shops, and public transportation, but still nice and quiet at night. Would definitely stay here again next time I'm in the area. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed our stay without any issues. The house was as described and we liked hanging outside on the patio. The pool and walking around the lake were the main attractions for us staying there. Clare was always available for any questions and to give us the pool key. As others described, the furniture is outdated and I think just replacing the couches would serve them well. We'd definitely stay there again.

Peaceful and relaxing stay. We had everything we needed upon arrival. The Grandkids were never bored between hiking to explore the river to running under the trees playing tag to roasting marshmallows in the firepit. We even had a movie night on the projection screen.

Cute and comfortable place, close to downtown. Great for a short stay in Durham!

Absolutely loved the rustic yet extremely comfortable feeling of the room. The West End Café as recommended was phenomenal. Without Dave letting me know that Google maps takes you somewhere wrong I would’ve been lost. However, he was proactive and told me that and I ended up right at the door very easily. Beautiful area quiet felt at home. He actually came and checked on me this morning after I texted and told him I was leaving he came out of the house just to make sure everything was OK. If I have the opportunity to be back there and spend the night again, I will definitely stay at Dave’s place if it’s available. Not sure if it was on purpose or if someone else had left it, but there was even Bud Light in the fridge if I had wanted! Thank you for your hospitality!
