Family-friendly vacation rentals in Franklin County

We stayed at The Frances home July 6th thru July 13th, 2024. The house is so much nicer in person, the pictures just don't it justice. The beds were fine, the kitchen is well stocked and the place was very clean. Tons of room on the lower level to spread out and enjoy the pool table and ping pong. The lot is sloped but not too steep and they have a very nice, concrete walkway. The owners allow use of their kayaks, canoe and tiki hut on the dock. The hot tub on the lower deck was a great way to relax and enjoy the lake view. The house is in a no wake cove and just across the water from Jake's Place. Super close to the SML bridge and Bridgewater marina. Jake's has a restaurant, camper park and beach area with a slide. They do provide internet although we struggled many times with the connections, just power cycled their router and it was back up and running. T-mobile is the provider, I believe. The one major negative is no trash service, not even trash cans. Gotta fix that...

Seven of us enjoyed a wonderful joint 75th birthday celebration at this beautiful lake home. The mountain and lake views from the spacious back deck were breathtaking. It was exactly as described with prompt and thoughtful communications. Comfortable beds and amenities to meet every need. Can’t wait to return to enjoy outdoor activities with extended family.

Great location at Bernard’s Landing - right next to the club house with the pool and other amenities. Very large space that could easily accommodate 4 couples. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a lovely stay at John’s condo, the view is beautiful! We enjoyed the indoor pool, hot tub, sauna and steam room. SML is such a relaxing place, there isn’t a ton of “stuff” to do and I think that’s why we like it so much. It really forces you to relax and take in the beauty of the surrounding areas. We did the baby goat snuggles activity that is suggested and it was so much fun and such a great family experience, we highly recommend it! Thank you John, we look forward to booking again in the future 🙂

I had a fantastic time staying in this cottage, I felt right at home and enjoyed the "cabin getaway" feel. It was a very relaxing place to come back to after all the hiking I did in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It was also pretty centrally located for anything I did in Roanoke, and had no problems getting Ubers to and from the location if needed. Patricia was very kind and responsive, and does a great job of maintaining the property. I will definitely stay here again the next time I am out this way for hiking! I highly recommend staying here!

The apartment is very comfortable and cozy feeling. Beautiful, peaceful surroundings. The kitchen and bathroom were both well stocked with anything we might need. Very nice outdoor sitting and eating area as well. We had such a relaxing time!

An absolutely beautiful home set in the rolling farmlands. Exactly what we were looking for. Close to the awesome town of Floyd.

Very nice cabin . Stayed a few times . Always clean and tidy

My family and I stayed at Judy’s home for my graduation weekend. Their home is so beautiful, right on the water, and so fun. It was the perfect place for all my family to be together while still not being terribly far from Lynchburg. Judy was great at communicating with me from the very beginning and explained everything so well. She gave us a great packet of information that included instructions for our stay and also lists of local grocery stores, medical care facilities, etc. I would absolutely recommend their home to anyone that is looking for a place to stay on the lake.

As always, we had the best time at the cabin by the creek. In what has now become our fall tradition, we’ve been coming to the cabin for downtime for the last few years and it never fails to disappoint. Jean is always communicative and the sweet cabin is always very well-appointed. We just love this place.

This was our fourth stay at Apple Ridge! The cabooses are perfect to stay in and the location is so peaceful & relaxing. We go to get away from the hustle & bustle of life. We enjoy walks around the property and read books. When ready we head into Floyd for drinks (wine, beer & spirits) and food. Excellent hiking trails throughout the area. Definitely a place to visit!

Place was just as advertised, Bernard's landing has great amenities.

We had an amazing stay! Such a great location and lots to do inside the community. I recommend it!
