Family-friendly holiday rentals in Upstate South Carolina

This is our third year coming to Karen’s home and it’s simply amazing. The views and location are stunning. We will definitely be back for year 4 next year!

Absolutely loved my stay! The view is outstanding, and the house is great. I will definitely try to visit again!

This cabin was the perfect base camp for a week of biking, hiking, and trail running. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our own meals (but lots of options within a 20 minute drive when we didn't feel like cooking!). We enjoyed being able to bring our dog along with us, and he loved getting to sniff around in the woods by the house. We hope to come back!

This was our second time staying at Blue Haven. The cabin provides everything our family needs to have a comfortable, peaceful and relaxing time in the North Carolina mountains.

Great cabin and host. A little tricky finding the driveway by the gps but she gave instructions. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back in the near future

Freedom Finder is a beautiful cabin in the woods with an amazing porch and in close location to Anna Ruby Falls, Unicoi state park and Helen. It’s spotless, and full of all the little extras you need for a great vacation! Traveling with my family means cooking meals, and this cabin was well stocked with all the necessities.Lynette, is an amazing host. We were welcomed with a s’mores kit, and little touches that made us feel special. She was communicative and above all else Kind! We had a medical emergency our last night and needed to book an extra day, and Lynette was responsible to our emergent need even in the middle of the night! I can’t thank her enough! Literally if you are interested in staying in North Georgia the Freedom Finder is the cabin for you!

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.

5 stars!!! A truly personalized and memorable stay! My husband and I absolutely loved our weekend stay at this Airbnb. From the moment we arrived, we could feel how much care and thought had gone into every detail. The space felt so warm, welcoming, and uniquely tailored — not just a generic rental, but a place with personality and heart. It’s clear the host puts a lot of effort into creating a special experience. Everything was spotless, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. We especially appreciated the little personal touches that made us feel right at home. We would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a cozy, personalized escape — perfect for a romantic weekend or a peaceful retreat. We’ll definitely be back!

Was the perfect weekend getaway for my boyfriend and I along with our dog! Had a great time relaxing and enjoying lake life!

This is our 3rd time staying at this location. It is perfect location for riding the Swamp Rabbit Trail and was very close to Furman University where we had a few events. Look forward to returning next year!

I would recommend Alison to anyone. She was our first host this being our first time using Airbnb. We couldn't ask for anyone better. Not to forget the beautiful house and view. I will never stay in a plain hotel again. I didn't have to worry about me and my families safety at all. Thank you Alison.

We absolutely loved staying at this cabin near the river and close to town. It's about a 30 minute drive from Waynesville which is close enough for convenience but far enough away for peace and quiet. The area surrounding the cabin is stunning and private. Charles is an excellent host and the entire experience was well organized. We have absolutely nothing bad to say nor any recommendations for improvement. We would definitely stay there again 10/10

AMAZING place to “get away!” Truly, one of the best places we’ve stayed. Super clean, easy in & out, and would definitely come back. (Only downside- no ice maker. We survived- lol.)

What a view from the back porch! The cabin is very well equipped. The drive in can be a bit rough. But very worth it. The cabin was very comfortable for our family to stay in. The falls behind the cabin are worth the trek down the mountain.

Absolutely worth checking this place out. Quintessential WNC, down to the fireflies peppering the field below. Very beautifully styled home with unique spaces to enjoy where you are.

We enjoyed our stay ! Beautiful view and great deck with fun water activities accessible.

Great customer service, views, cleanliness, and utilities

The Lake house was one of the quietest and most peaceful air b-and-b's we have stayed at. The new back deck is the highlight of the lake cabin. The rest of the cabin is fully equipped and functional, but we hardly left the back deck. With its fenced in area and gate was perfect for the dog. The kayaks and dock are a nice addition. It is located close to good dining at Micas restaurant and Whiteside brewery. We came for the hiking in Panthertown area. We will be back again.

I have stayed in Carolyn's units several times. She is a fantastic host and very responsive. The apartment had everything we needed for a week's stay. There are snacks too! We were at a conference with people dropping in for lunch so I particularly appreciated the extra table and chairs. I slept on the bed and sofa and both were comfortable. The lake view and access to the walking trail are perfect. The close proximity to Stuart Auditorium was a must for me. I highly recommend Carolyn's units and am already booked for next year.

Absolutely stunning! It’s well kept and the view is breathtaking, black bears show up regularly (don’t worry they’re friendly). There’s a game room and toddler stuff as well. 8 people can sleep comfortably. FYI this is in the mountains so the road is not for rookies. 4x4 recommended.

This was my third stay at Glimpse of Heaven, and it most certainly won’t be my last. The name truly says it all. The view is absolutely unmatched. One of my favorite things about this cabin is its location. It’s quiet and serene, far removed from the crowds near Gatlinburg but still just a short drive away if you want to explore the area. It’s also perfectly situated near Cades Cove and the Foothills Parkway, which makes it ideal for scenic drives. The cabin itself is always clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Shirley, the host, is always quick to respond. She makes every stay easy and enjoyable. I couldn’t recommend Glimpse of Heaven more highly—it’s become my go-to escape in the Smokies.

Our family LOVED staying at Deborah's Apartment in Anderson. Our boys had a GREAT time fishing. The community was very peaceful and everyone we met was very welcoming. The apartment was clean, adorable and had everything we needed for our stay in Anderson. The view was also AMAZING! We would definitely visit again.

we loved the condo..exactly as described in the listing. the location was great..easy walk to the strip. Definitely would stay here again.

Beautiful views in a clean and cozy cabin. Would 100% come back if ever back in the area.
