Fitness-friendly vacation rentals in Blue Ridge Mountains

Denise’s apartment was absolutely amazing. All the instructions were so clear and she was super helpful! Everything was exactly as pictured and so cozy.

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.

Great location in walking distance to everything. Cute apartment had everything we needed

Great apartment! We came for the Lovin' Life Music Fest; it was about a 20 minute, easy walk. Plenty of space in the apartment, beds were comfortable, couch was slightly on the small side, but there were only 2 of us, so it was fine. The key fob wasn't left in the lock box upon our arrival, but I reached out and was responded to in about 10 minutes and he was able to let us in. Definitely would recommend this place and if we come back to the festival, I would stay here again!

Rain was an amazing host! Can’t go wrong with this place

We really enjoyed our stay. The condo was clean and we had plenty of room. The location was perfect. You are close to everything in Pigeon Forge but it didn’t feel like it. It was quiet and not overly busy at the resort. Our boys enjoyed the pool and lazy river. You can see Dollywood’s fireworks from the balcony. We watched them 2 nights in a row. You could also see some of their drone show as well. If we travel back to the area we would definitely enjoy staying here again.

We were so lucky to find this place about 2 miles from my Son’s house. After a short ride on some windy, hilly roads (not bad at all) we arrived in a lovely neighborhood. As hosts they were friendly and helpful and more than generous. They supplied breakfast foods, water bottles, and other food stuffs that were more than welcome after a long drive. The Airbnb was spotless and welcoming, bed (master, we didn’t use the other bedroom) was extremely comfortable. Of course the hot tub was a huge bonus that was also a welcomed perk. Barbara and Steve were there when we arrived and were More than gracious. From start to finish our visit was perfect. We felt right at home and access to downtown Weaverville and Asheville was a breeze. We will definitely return.

Jacques listing was in a great central, walkable and safe location.. restaurants and bars right across the street which was great for a hassle free stay. I do recommend staying here if your passing through charlotte

Whitney was very personable, couldn’t figure out the gate and she took a personal call without hesitation to help. So close to all the great places in town.we will be back.

Amanda’s hidden gem was an amazing spot for me and my boyfriend to escape reality from! Check-in was very easy, and her space was very easy to find. Her space looks just like the pictures and we felt right at home. Amanda was also kind enough to supply some light snacks and coffee cups for the place which we were very grateful for! It was very clean, and we felt very safe and right at home. We were also able to have access to the country club, which we went for the hot tub which was so nice! The view from the balcony was amazing!! Overall, we loved our stay with Amanda and we will be back for a ski trip!! :)

Great escape for my hubby and I for a one night getaway. Host was proactive in communicating as I booked same day, response was quick and thoroug, directions plus details for check-in. Space was easy to access, quiet, with a beautiful view, large windows, nice furniture. TV, with multiple streaming options, fireplace was great for ambiance. Shower had good water pressure! Bed was very comfy and laying in it you will feel like you are in the clouds with your view of the mountains. We did use the clubhouse facilities, sauna, pool and hot tub all very clean and quiet with very few guests, only us and another family of 3 when we were just heading back to the room. *My only suggestions would be to upgrade bathroom amenities with nice bottles of shampoo and conditioner, body wash. This is something I really appreciate when traveling and adds to the sensory experience when remembering the trip. Overall great experience for our quiet escape for two. Thanks Valentina!

This was a wonderful place to stay! Mary Anne was incredibly responsive and helpful at all times. The place and surrounding area was peaceful and relaxing. Would definitely stay there again and highly recommend!

We had a wonderful long weekend here, enjoying all the beauty of Smith Mountain Lake. We rented a boat, played mini-golf, walked along the lake, and ate great food. This condo is the perfect location to relax and play.

Excellent. Beautiful sunrises on clear mornings. Fortunately I’m not from The Villages so I was able to easily understand the very clear instructions provided by the hosts! Highly recommend :)

The view from the condo was stunning and beautiful, just like John’s photos online. The detailed directions and descriptions were very accurate. John welcomed us during check-in and thanked us when we left. It would be nice to have screens on the sliding glass door. Definitely would consider staying there in the future!

Marinda's condo was a nice and comfortable place to stay. It looks just like the photos, and it was clean. The view is amazing, and the mountain air was lovely. We were able to keep the windows open all the time. We loved spending time on the deck, and with the passing thunderstorms, the view constantly changed with the light and cloud formations. It was easy to park and ride the shuttle to the building, and we actually only had to do that one day because the rest of the time there was plenty of space in the parking lot right by the door. We didn't use the pool or laundry facilities, so I can't comment on that, but everything looked nice. Really the best part was the view!

We had a wonderful time. Ramzi was available when we had questions. Very friendly. Cabin was clean and cozy. If you have never driven in hills before be prepared the roads are tight. The lookout by the pool is amazing and also clean. Neighborhood also clean and quiet. Everything was perfect as the pictures showed. One slight thing to update would be the hot tub cover as it looks as if someone or something stood on it and broke it. Still works just fine but it’s collecting water on the top. Thank you for a great vacation. :)

We loved Brevard! First time in this city and had a great time hiking all the trails within the resort. The hot tub was a nice ending to the day with beautiful sunsets. We thoroughly enjoyed the community and will be back!

Amazing lake home in a secluded neighborhood. This property is perfect for families! The basement provided numerous options with a pool table, table tennis and large variety of arcade games. The boat dock had a number of kayaks, paddles boards and was perfect for fishing. A short drive into town for groceries and supplies, as well as local restaurants to enjoy.

We were in town for a soccer tournament. We had 4 adults and 4 kids. The place was perfect for the 8 of us. Well stocked kitchen, plenty of places to get away or get together. Large back deck with patio and large yard below. Entertainment and shopping not far at all. We would stay here again.

Your rental home was one of the best. The accommodations for 3 couples was perfect. Your response to our needs was immediate and appreciated. We had run out of propane for the gas grill and it was replenished the very next day. Thank you for your help with the TV. We found it a little confusing! It was very special to meet Mr. Driskel. He was very generous with the fish he caught and his knowledge of fishing was very helpful. It was a pleasure to talk to him. He certainly is an asset to your rental! We highly recommend staying at the Shady Rest.

The rental property was just as described with some fun amenities. It was also very close to uptown, which was super convenient. Hunter was very detailed with any necessary instructions, which made things easy. If I needed a larger space again for my friends and I in the future, I would rebook.

The condo was extremely clean, comfortable, and well equipped. The decorations and overall feel of the place is great. The pool was nice to go down and enjoy as well. The view is incredible and we spent a good bit of time out on the balcony, just enjoying the beauty and serenity. We have zero complaints and nothing but praise for the condo and hosts. We definitely plan to return! Don't be deterred by the need to use the shuttle to travel back and forth to your car. The drivers were great and the wait for them was just a couple minutes. The entire complex seems laid back, friendly, and very well maintained. Food, groceries, or entertainment is all within a few minutes drive. While our friends were sweating in Bristol at 87 degrees, we were a cool 72 up on the mountain. It is a great place to cool off and recharge in the Summer.

My family really enjoyed staying at this house. We absolutely loved the mountain views from the top 2 decks, and the bottom desk with the hot tub was private with trees surrounding which was nice. There were a ton of fireflies surrounding the house every night which was cool. The star gazing was also perfect from the top porch. We had a bear visit us while we were in the hot tub our first night. It didnt get too close to the porch. Just walked around and left. Such a cool thing to see it in its natural habitat. We stayed quiet and ready to go inside incase needed but it came and went quickly with no issues. The drive up was not too bad but I definitely recommend driving slow with all the curves around the mountains. The parking situation was a little tight so just be aware you may have to backup and go forward a few times if you are in a big truck. The pool we went to was only a 6 minute drive and was good sized. Downtown was only a 10 min. drive and a beautiful scenic drive. 5 Stars!
