Family-friendly holiday rentals in Swannanoa

First, Doug and Marcia are lovely folks - warm and helpful. The views of their farm, the animals, and the mountains from the porch are terrific. The rooms are very clean and they make it extra nice with snacks and brochures with information about the area. We will be back!

We loved our stay! Everything we wanted to do was in close proximity and the recommendations for food were amazing! Our stay was peaceful and the cottage itself was lovely.

Great location for a quick family weekend get away. Loved the scenic location, wildlife, and sound of the creek from the comfy porch. Listing as described, kitchen clean and functional. Beds/pillows clean and comfortable. Location close to Asheville and local attractions.

Brett’s place was absolutely perfect. The location is fantastic and had more than enough amenities. I cannot recommend it enough!

This cabin was the perfect spot for a getaway! The cabin itself was just perfect, cozy and clean. We loved the fireplace and walking trails on the property. The downtown area was a short drive away and had plenty of great food and shopping options. I would definitely stay here again it was an amazing trip and it was so wonderful to be able to bring our dog for a whole family vacation!

This was an amazing place to get away for some peace and quiet! Michelle was proactive reaching out to us about our stay and so kind and responsive to our questions. She remembered it was my birthday weekend and made sure to ask how we were enjoying our time away from home. The place was so cute and the decor was very unique (love the sinks). Very clean! Will definitely visit again.

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 booked this home for a ladies' getaway, and it exceeded every expectation. The hosts' communication was excellent every step of the way, making everything seamless and stress-free. Amy and Shari made us feel truly welcome. The house itself is stunning, beautifully maintained and nestled in a peaceful, relaxing setting. It had everything we needed and more. Just some of the highlights included the fresh eggs from the on-site chicken coop, delicious scones, homemade teas, and mimosas served under a gorgeous pavilion. These thoughtful details made the experience feel extra special. We felt so comfortable that we didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend this gem for anyone seeking a serene and memorable escape.

We had a wonderful stay at this “Slow Pace” Airbnb with our children and two dogs! The home was comfortable and inviting, with a fantastic backyard that we all enjoyed. The living room was perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring, and the location couldn’t have been better—we loved being able to walk downtown and appreciated the easy access to Montreat. Another great perk was the nearby mom-and-pop convenience store, where we could easily pick up extra drinks and snacks. It was close enough that the kids could even walk over by themselves, which was a nice bonus! The hosts were thoughtful in every detail, from providing plenty of coffee for our entire stay to the extra special touch of a bottle of wine waiting for us on our first night. We would absolutely stay here 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.

What a wonderful stay in a wonderful cabin! This cabin is awesome - great bed, great shower, great location, great hosts. The fireplace is awesome. It can be switched on for just the overall effect but you have the option of turning up the heat for warmth. I scheduled my stay for some much needed peace and quiet during a difficult time in my life. I arrived with the sniffles but it progressed into much more. I kept asking for extensions if time and Samuel & Angie were awesome. Thanks again to them. I honestly can’t say enough great things about this cabin and my stay.

The stay was amazing. It was clean, to the point I would say it was spotless. Plenty of amenities are provided. The cottage was temperature controlled and made me and my girlfriend feel at home. I would definitely recommend. For its quality, the cottage is a very cheap stay! It could definitely be more pricey because of how nice it is.

Great stay! I really enjoyed being comfortable while so close to nature.

Silver and Shane's place is perfect for our needs. My partner and I travel often to the Asheville area with our dog, and we stay for a week or more visiting family. This basement apartment is simple, clean, and very large with a queen sized bed in the huge bedroom and a full-sized (and surprisingly comfortable) futon as well as a full-sized sofa and easy chair in the living room, which allows us to spread out, have temporary guests over, AND still have plenty of room for our sometimes rambunctious dog! There's no "kitchen" but the living room is really large and has an alcove where there is a small refrigerator, microwave, a coffee maker, dishes, silverware, and glassware for four+ people plus a small dining table that seats four! The space is wonderfully simple - just as described - and very comfortable. Oh - and the bathroom is spacious and laid out well AND has plenty of nice towels, a hair dryer, and extra soap! Shane and Silver are lovely people, really friendly!

Stayed here with my husky, everything was amazing! will definitely be looking into this house if we are ever in the area again

It’s such a calm place. I enjoyed sitting on the couch each morning, drinking coffee and watching the horses across the way. The coffee the hosts provided was delicious. The bed was very comfortable. The hosts were welcoming, their old dog was very sweet, and the few glimpses and sounds of an active and loving family made me nostalgic for old times, when my children were young.

Great house and great hosts. Thanks.

A great place for a vacation. Carolyn was a great host and was very responsive to all our queries. The cabin was extremely good and had all amenities. It also had board games for the kids. My kids enjoyed the hot tub as well. The place was very neat and had an upgraded kitchen.Would definitely recommend for a vacation stay.

Great house if you don’t want to contend with winding mountain roads and don’t mind being 20 minutes from downtown. Perfect location for a relaxing weekend. Pool and hot tub were enjoyed greatly, and expansive back yard gives great feeling of privacy. Rooms were all spacious enough for 8 adults to be comfortable. Would definitely book again for a mountain getaway!

We loved our quiet weekend away eventhough it poured. The cabin was very cozy and warm and roses and champagne were a wonderful surprise. We thoroughly enjoyed reconnecting as a couple while watching movies and simply unplugging from work and family for a few days. We will definitely come back once the weather warms up.

We had a great time at the Lazy Bear Lodge! It was so nice to be able to relax and unwind for the weekend surrounded by the peaceful mountains. Lovely home and equipped with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Thank you guys for a wonderful time!

Josh was very flexible and responsive for a last minute stay. The backyard is beautiful and we felt right at home. Josh also gave lots of great recommendations. We really enjoyed our stay in Asheville!

Great place, relaxing and very clean! Shane is a great host, he made sure everything was in great shape before we checked in and also gave great recommendations for local activities since we couldn’t use the pool due to weather conditions. Any time I reached out to him, he responded almost immediately. Highly recommend, we will definitely stay here if we visit Asheville again.

This home is larger than the photos show. Plenty of space for a large family. Location is convenient to the resort and to hiking and fishing. Nicely appointed with many details. Overall very pleasant experience!
