Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Franklin County

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!

Spacious, beautiful home perfect for groups! Highlights include stunning views, a well-stocked kitchen, fun basement game room, multiple areas to sit and relax outside, and ability to rent and dock a boat at the home throughout your stay. During this lake vacation we had a ball swimming, fishing, kayaking, boating to restaurants, and ordering treats from the ice cream boat! Some reviews mention run down houses on the private road leading up to Kate's home. Just respect the 15mph speed limit and the neighbors are quite friendly. We spoke to one who was out gardening and told us about Moneta before the lake was built! If you're eager for a lake vacation, this is the place!

Our stay was amazing , great views, really quiet and peaceful, lake side access and views, we loved the kayaks available, the place was clean and cozy. The mosquitoe screen in the porch is something you’ll appreciate when having dinner or lunch outside ! Great stay over 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.

My husband and I had a little weekend getaway here and it was perfect!! Vanessa had everything you could possibly need in the condo. The views were amazing and the place was in perfect condition! We will definitely be back to stay again.

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.

Super responsive! Met my expectations. Came in town for a wedding. Close to the lake. Would totally stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay while in for a wedding. The cottage is so cute and homey. It has everything you need for a great stay plus some thoughtful extras. I must also say the beds are so comfortable and the hot tub was a great way to end our days. Highly recommend staying here.

Anthony's place was very clean and welcoming. felt secluded even though was close to everything. was well pleased with our stay. only drawback was we weren't able to control the temperature and the house was 76 degrees too hot for June. Anthony did turn it down some but was still too hot for us . plenty of wildlife if that's your thing, the deer come close enough to almost pet them . I will definitely stay here again it's perfect for just 2 people

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 was proactive in checking on me! His place was very clean and had all of the amenities listed. The locals were very nice people, and the lake was amazing. I recommend everyone book with Andrew!

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.

We highly recommend Armand and Amanda! This condo and the amenities are wonderful. We have nothing but great things to say-the condo was very clean, quiet, and safe.

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.

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.

Fantastic hosts!! Quick to respond and easy to work with. Room is even prettier than pictures and is so close to the water. We spent most of our time on the covered porch. Bed is super comfy and furnishings are very pretty. Everything you need is provided. Area is quiet and relaxing!! Heated pool was so nice and has a great view of the water. Kayaks were light so they were easy to get in and out of the water. A beautiful location perfect for a quiet getaway. Would definitely stay here 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’ve stayed here several years in a row. Place is always spotless and welcoming. We love the corner unit. Very convenient for boat docking.
