Family-friendly vacation rentals in Bristol

Phenomenal place to stay!! More than we expected. If looking for a getaway and do some skiing this is the place to stay. Nancy was so helpful and always checked in on us to make sure we were good. If staying in the winter months for some skiing, definitely make sure you are in a 4WD.

This little cabin was in a gorgeous location! Right next to the snow tubing and not far from grandfather mountain! The views from the hot tub were amazing! Brought our two dogs and they loved it! The patio with the hot tub was fenced in so the dogs were able to hang with us while we were relaxing in the hot tub! Definitely would recommend and plan to come back!

This was easily one of my most favorite vacations of all time. The tranquility and the peace that Nancy is beautiful property provided will be a memory that I will always cherish with my kids. Outside of the property, we were fortunate enough to take a pottery lesson with her and my daughter mentioned several times to me how this was one of her favorites experiences with me. In addition, they were kind enough to share an opportunity to hike down to their private land in the gorge gorge for a peaceful and fun Saturday afternoon. What an adventure it was and well worth it. overall, we will definitely be looking at coming back and absolutely be sharing this magical place with friends and family.

Lovely home in Beech mountain only a mile or so from the slopes, fully equipped kitchen, nice comfortable beds and linens, great functioning, hot tub.

This was, by far, the cleanest Airbnb I’ve ever had. I’m talking not a speck of dust - not even in the corners of the basement bathroom, folks! We booked Janice’s place last minute from a hotel after finding our original rental was inaccessible. She was gracious enough to allow early check in and welcomed our dogs without exorbitant fees. The location is quiet and peaceful yet central to everything. Beds were comfortable (dog bed included 🥰) and everything was simple & smooth, which meant a lot after the debacle we’d been through. Janice is a host who has gone the extra mile. Her place is incredibly well maintained and you’ll want for nothing. If you are looking for a rental where you can truly relax, this is the one. I only wish we’d booked this as our original choice so we could’ve enjoyed it longer. Would stay here again and again, 5 stars doesn’t begin to do it justice 💛

We had a great stay! The house is very spacious yet very warm and welcoming with super cute decorations. The hot tub was well maintained, you do have to push the buttons pretty hard to get them to work, which was no biggie when we figured it out. The downstairs was the perfect place for a cuddly movie night. This was the first place I've stayed that provided some snacks it was a great touch. The kitchen was stocked will all essentials pots pans and appliances. The bedrooms and bathrooms were also very well stocked and clean. This place is huge and so is the yard. My only piece of advise is to update the pictures in the posting. I was hesitant to book, and almost didn't because it looked like its was on a busy street and had small rooms. I was happily surprised that it was in a private area and could very easily fit 8 adults in beds. It was more than enough room for us 4 adults. 10/10!

Lanis place was the perfect cabin getaway. Hot tub worked great and plenty of sleeping options. Stocked with everything you need in the kitchen and plenty of games. Fireplace was awesome. It was scenic and peaceful in the trees. Be aware the road to get there is a little scary if you’re not used to driving unpaved and winding roads. But perfect for those who want to get away and be far enough away , while still remaining 15 minutes from civilization. Lots of cute shops around, the grandfather winery was great.

Our group of 4 friends had an amazing time at Laurelwood for our rock climbing weekend! We made great use of all the amenities (well-equipped kitchen, cozy fireplace, front porch swing, outdoor hot tub) and appreciated the thoughtful details (smores kit, thorough handbook, plenty of throw pillows and blankets) that made this place comfortable and feel like home. The drive into town and to our events was scenic and pleasant. Note that there is an unpaved road and steep driveway up to the house (not a problem for us during our summer visit). Diane was very communicative and helpful with any questions that we had. Unfortunately, we spent so much time exploring the area's activities and sights that we didn't have enough time to play any of the provided board games, ping pong, or video games! We would definitely consider this location again if our travels took us back to the Boone area.

House was spacious and comfortable with nice outdoor/porch spaces. Beds were comfortable and firm. Property is well-located in Bloomingdale on the north side of Kingsport, just a couple miles from Hwy 93, the John B. Dennis bypass. Everything in Kingsport is 10 minutes away or less. Eileen was helpful and very accommodating. We would stay again.

Cute little house in a nice older neighborhood. Chad responded quickly. The house was set up with everything we needed. Thank you.

Great place, walkable to sugar mountain lodge. The bed was very comfy. It was about an 8 minute walk or 1 minute drive to the lodge. And the ski locker was a great amenity! Will stay here again for sure!

The cabin was just as pictured and was the perfect location for visiting Banner Elk and Boone. We had a very relaxing weekend with our pups. The laundry room had a large crate and linens for the dogs. The laundry area was huge and was roomy enough for our second dog. Ha ha....she is a chihuahua. The cabin was easy to locate and was perfect for us. The weather was not in our favor but the fireplace kept us cozy. You can't go wrong renting this place if you are in the Banner Elk area. Great Value. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful location right on the river. Can’t beat it especially if you’re paddling.

My wife and I have enjoyed stays at many B&B properties located across the US. Without a doubt, Angels Hideaway is now our favorite…We didn’t want to leave! So peaceful, beautiful, very clean and comfortable. We can’t wait to come back! :-)

Thank you Pat for sharing your home. Immediately felt like home and the children said it felt like Mamaw’s. ☺️will definitely recommend to others and if back in area will check to see if available.

The home was cozy and pet friendly. Loved the cottage furnishings. Theresa was a gracious host who checked on us when we got there to let us know if we needed anything to call her. Check in and out was simple and easy. Will definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful stay there the past few days. The condo was well laid-out and decorated nicely with a welcoming feel. Everything was clean and comfortable. The kids had a great time in the pool and hot tub. We hope to stay there again in the future. :)

We had a great stay at this condo, Avery was very helpful and communicative and answered any questions I had very quickly. The views were stunning, the area was beautiful, we would definitely love to come again.

perfect place to stay with the family for skiing at sugar mountain. it's basically right across the street.

What a great place! Also the host was very kind and great communication! Very nice place and only 10 minutes from Sugar Mountain. Wonderful amenities including pool, hot tub, sauna, library, shop, workout room etc etc. Only (potential) issue which is no fault of the owners is that this is a large 10 story condo complex. On busy days, especially around the weekend it can get very busy during check in and check out and you have to park outside of the guard shack and get shuttled back to the condo. Again, we didn’t really have much of a hang up but others did-just something to keep in mind. Fantastic place, and well equipped! Thank you again!

Nice house but well maintained. In a gated community which is a plus and access in and out was super easy. In walking distance to an upscale/famous restaurant. In strong proximity to Boone and Blowing Rock with a very quick drive to the Parkway.

Whitney & Jay were great hosts—responsive and helpful when we had questions. The space was just as shown/described in the listing. My family of four enjoyed our stay during spring break and our first time skiing during Sugar Mountain’s end-of-season March Madness. We made such wonderful memories here. Be sure to enjoy the most stunning sunrises and sunsets from the balcony.

Great place, exactly as advertised. Cheetola in general is a great resort and Balsam is off to one side, giving you extra privacy with woods in the back. 15 min drive to App Ski, which is what we came for. The place does have a dated furnishing style but it’s charming in its own way. One suggestion for improvement would be the mattress in the main bedroom, starting to get a bit old. Also, there was ice in the parking lot and on the steps leading to the unit. But that seems to be a Cheetola problem, not Gail.
