Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Swain County

Not our first time here. We love the location and our dog loves the quiet. The hiking is easy to get to. We will continue to make this a preferred location to stay when in Cherokee. Can't wait to come back in December.

Robins place is spectacular! Everything was squeaky clean and very comfortable. To say Robin(and her husband) are on top of making everything perfect is putting it mildly. Day one we contacted her about a broken chair on the covered porch, day3, her husband brought a whole different table and chairs! Robin was very responsive in all questions that I've had. Definitely book this house! You'll love every inch of it! We'll DEFINITELY be back. Thanks Robin (and Trace)!

My husband and I loved this spot. Our dogs did too. The house was in a gorgeous setting in the woods with huge windows that we found very peaceful. Super close to town but far enough out to feel private. The house is older but in a good way. Well constructed and has a beautiful yard. Highly recommended!

Davids place was perfect! It was only 2 of us but it was exactly what we needed. Everything was super clean, the game room was an awesome bonus, sunset off the front porch was stunning and hanging out on the back porch was peaceful. Its super convenient to what we had planned. we were within an hour to the old clingmans dome, 20 minutes to most of the hikes, waterfalls and restaurants. David has great local info and is super friendly. We plan to visit again with the family. Side note, early June is great for anyone who doesn't want to deal with the peak summer road traffic and tourism.

We had a great, albeit too short time at Jan’s home. I live in AVL and this is my first time at Lake Santeetlah, and we loved it! The house is in a cove and has an empty lot next door, which meant for a verrry quiet two nights. It would be ideal for 1-2 couples or a small family. We took advantage of the paddleboards and explored some nearby coves on an almost empty lake, which was wonderful. Next time we might rent a pontoon. We also lucked out and saw synchronous fireflies both nights! Magical. I definitely recommend to folks who would expect to spend most time outside or on water and aren’t expecting a fancy party house. PS GPS will wrongly route you. Turn into Forest Lakes. The house number is correct.

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!

My wife and I grew up in Sylva. We came home to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. We had several questions for Diane and she was wonderful to work with. We will definitely rent this property again. You will not be disappointed if you stay here.

Tammey’s place was beautiful and quaint! We loved the history of the house! Would definitely stay again!

The place was very comfortable and easy access to places in town. We enjoyed our stay!

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

Don and the rental were fantastic. I can only wish that every Air BnB was done this well. Water on every table. The bathroom had everything you might have forgotten. The fridge had soda and water in it. Even had a Smores setup for the firepit outside. I will be back here regularly and Don's place will always be my first choice. Dons hospitality was world class. It is very hard to find genuine hospitality and Don hit it off the mountain.

The place was beautiful and clean and all the my toddler and I needed. He loved steeping into the River outside the INN. We watched Blippi, handyman Hal and Katie’s Classroom inside the pub connected to where we stayed. Everyone was friendly and it’s bike friendly. We rode the 11mile Cades Cove loop on bike and we went to Tuckaleechee Caverns and it was truly a magical stay and media Teton for us.

Great location for short walks to nearby restaurants, shopping, and train depot. Space was clean and as described. Would definitely stay here again if returning to Bryson City.

An amazing stay for an amazing price! I will definitely spend my time back at the lodge when I’m back in town!

This place is awesome! Better than the pictures show! With 2 large, super-comfy king bedrooms, and extra queen in small room if needed, full kitchen, and an awesome living room with lazy boy furniture. I was so happy there, felt like home. Right over my favorite bakery/cafe/store and walking distance to so much of the best Bryson has to offer, stores, restaurants, coffee shops, the GSMRailroad, farmer’s market, etc! 5 minute drive to grocery store and amazing Deep Creek hiking to waterfalls. The best! Kela & her husband are great people and immediately responded to any issues. Excellent experience, highly recommend!

It was great we got in super late but it was a great place to sleep!!

Gary's place was so quiet and peaceful. we enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching the golfers come through. Would definitely stay here again.

Condo was conveniently located. Many options to go and explore the mountains. All the tourist amenities a short drive to Pigeon Forge. Very quiet laid back atmosphere. Townsend is a great small town. Enjoyed our stay and location.

Kylie was an amazing host! The place was clean, cozy, and had all the great amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. We had a small hiccup with the thermostat not working at first, but Kylie was incredibly responsive and had it fixed within an hour — truly impressive response time! Overall, a smooth and enjoyable experience. Would absolutely stay here again. Thank you, Kylie!

Great place to stay ! Location was very quiet and peaceful. If you like outdoors this is the best place to stay.

We enjoyed staying at Cades Cove condo #250. Liked the amenities, location, and paved walking path access. Shelia was very responsive to questions and communications. Would stay here again.

My family and I enjoyed our stay. The views from the house are incredible. It is very peaceful. The place was clean. Nina was very helpful and responsive when needed. We used the pool and hot tub, which was a short walk down the driveway. I highly recommend this place if you’re visiting the area!

We totally loved our stay! The location was perfect - so close to the wedding venue which was our reason for coming. Sasha was beyond helpful! Her generous hospitality was amazing! The space itself was so peaceful and charming! We highly recommend this place…

Had a wonderful stay ! spotless, comfortable and peaceful . will definitely stay again !
