Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Franklin County

Host was always attentive & responsive to my needs. The location was convenient to the place I was working at & to local amenities. I enjoyed my stay. Thank you so much!

One of the best if not the best AirB&b I’ve experienced in the states. Amazing new construction with ample space and great natural light. Every room in the house was spectacular with great amenities. My family felt right at home from day one. Location was as perfect for what we were looking for and surroundings were beautiful and private. Brandon is the cherry on top with great communication and clear instructions. Brandon fixed a scheduling issue with in the day of booking. Brandon was honest, understanding, and respectful during the resolution. I can’t recommend this home enough for your next SML trip.

We were amazed the pictures looked GREAT, but being there was the Best!! Easy assessable, 1 story, the massive king size bed was awesome! Location is perfect, It was PERFECT for our two small fur babies that absolutely loved the patio fenced in area!!! Also, seeing the doe eating in the backyard behind the fence area was a delight for us! The Diner in walking distance was fabulous, clean, friendly local staff and the owner was so friendly! Breakfast and lunch was spot on! We have been and used airBNB many years now truly THIS IS ONE OF THE Best Places!!!!! Thanks for sharing this BLESSING with US!

Heathers place was spectacular! So peaceful and beautiful. Very spacious, super clean. Wonderful stay and hope to be back.

The lake house had so many things to keep our family busy. I wish we had stayed longer to make use of it all!!!

This is a very spacious home with enough room for a large group. The bedrooms and bathrooms are all great, and everything is clean. The kitchen is well stocked and there is a table that seats 10 people. It was very peaceful and quiet. It is an easy walk to the water and the gazebo and fire pit were nice to have. We enjoyed our stay and it was very easy to communicate with the host.

Great little place!

Ninette and Micheal are amazing and excellent host, they genuinely care about you and your stay and are extremely respectful. They are very proactive and responsive to any questions and concerns. I had an amazing time at there place, its what I been needing. If you’re staying in the Smith mountain lake area, this is the place you need to be staying. The view is amazing and peaceful, with great vibes.

Stunning and serene, perfect if your idea of a weekend trip is to relax, be outside and enjoy the amenities. Not too far from the surrounding cities. Extremely clean.

This location at SML is great! Its close to everything including the water. I spent most of my evenings during my stay sitting on the dock and just enjoying the quiet and the scenery. If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend renting a boat and just relaxing on the water. This was a great and complaint free experience.

Very modern interior with a peaceful deck overlooking the lake. Extremely accommodating host (we were traveling with an infant). Place has everything you could need (cookware, utensils, tea/coffee, etc.) - would recommend :)

Traci and manager Sophia were super responsive to requests and texts. The place was very clean and as advertised. The location is walkable to the marina and a quick drive to other restaurants, state park, and grocery. We would definitely book again.

I had the absolute pleasure of staying at Susan and Tom’s Airbnb for over a year, and I can confidently say this has been the best Airbnb experience I’ve ever had. From day one, they welcomed me with warmth and kindness, creating a true home away from home. Susan is an incredible host and a fantastic cook—her muffins, scones, and soups are absolutely delicious and something I’ll always remember fondly. She frequently invited me for dinners that were not only delicious but filled with wonderful conversations and laughter. Tom is equally wonderful—he’s someone I genuinely enjoyed spending time with. We had countless engaging chats, and his company was always thoughtful, interesting, and uplifting. He’s truly great to be around and made my stay all the more enjoyable. More than just hosts, Susan and Tom became like family. If you’re considering a stay here, don’t hesitate—this is a rare gem of a place with two of the most wonderful hosts you could ever meet.

Perfect for a cozy get away. Clean and cute. The beds and linens were super comfortable! Wish I had more time to enjoy the location and tranquility! Shandi was an awesome host! Thank you!

Andrew is great and has a nice spot! Only bummer was the pool was closed for the season, but that's not on him. Have a nice stay!

My sister and neice and I stayed at Key To Stay's condo for 2 nights in February. I had previously stayed at that same condo in November. I originally gave this condo a great review, which is why we rented it again. This visit had a few maintenance issues, but they were eventually resolved and Key To Stay made sure to reach out to me personally to make sure we were satisfied. I do appreciate their commitment to making sure they improve the guest experience. I will definitely be staying here again after the wonderful customer service. The location is beautiful, the lake view can't be beat. The area has some great places to eat also.

Perfect for dog lovers and lake lovers! I’ve rented various condos at Smith Mountain Lake and several different ones at Stripers Landing, but Shannon’s place is now my new favorite. With a great view, plenty of space and the option to bring the pup - it’s such a treat. Highly recommend.

What an amazing stay! Beautiful views, comfortable beds, and spotless accommodations with all linens, towels and necessities provided. Amanda and Armand made sure that their guests received a five-star experience even down to their fast response time to our inquiries. We enjoyed all of the offered amenities, heated pool with views, a dock right outside our door, a nice restaurant right next door, and lots of walking areas to enjoy the stunning views of SML. We would definitely return over and over again!

we had a peaceful and relaxing time. Kathleen's place is very clean, comfortable and has a great view. we hope to stay there again. thank you.

“Tranquility Cove” is a perfect description of our restful & relaxing stay that my husband & I enjoyed during Mother’s Day weekend. Mary Anne is an exceptional host who provided for all our comforts with every amenity that we needed to enjoy a relaxing weekend at Smith Mountain Lake. The view of the sunrise over the lake & mountains along with the peaceful surroundings, access to the swimming pool & fitness center provided all that we needed for our dream-vacation-weekend. My husband & I have found our vacation destination at SML!

A lovely view of the lake! Our Airbnb was extremely clean. I appreciated the attention to detail & cleanliness in the kitchen items, fridge/filtered water & bathrooms. Would visit again!

Great couples place with fantastic views! Short drive to restaurants and grocery. We really enjoyed our short stay here and had everything we needed. Bed was super comfy and we enjoyed coffee in the morning overlooking the lake! We didn’t begin to use all the amenities offered as we were there for other reasons but a free boat slip, grill picnic areas and the pool were definitely inviting.

We had an amazing stay at SML. The location was very clean and well maintained. Everything that was advertised was accurate. There were tons of activities available around the lake. We would highly recommend this location to anyone interested in a peaceful stay near Roanoke, VA.

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!
