Family-friendly vacation rentals in Haywood County

Check in was super easy. Wonderful drive up the mountain. I would recommend a 4x4 vehicle as the driveway is tricky. Beautiful views that change through the day. At night the mountain across from the property is lit like a Christmas tree with the cabin lights. Amazing. The cabin is well equipped. Spacious but cozy. The decks offer a lot of space. Plenty of furniture inside and out. Indoor gas fireplace provides great ambiance. Hot tub was wonderful on a chilly night. Located just minutes from several towns, all with busy, well kept, downtowns. Lots to do in the area. Plenty of restaurants and grocery stores nearby. Highly recommend.

The place was exactly as it looked in the listing and was quiet and peaceful. There was plenty of outside seating and the provided fire wood for the wood pit was a great bonus. The overlook was particularly nice to feel like you were in the woods but only steps from the house. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Our group had an amazing time staying at this Airbnb! The space was perfect for all of us—spacious, comfortable, and equipped with everything we needed. There was plenty of room for everyone to relax, whether in the cozy living room or around the dining table. The kitchen was fully stocked, making it easy for us to cook meals together. The location was great, with easy access to local attractions, and the host was incredibly welcoming and helpful. Communication was smooth, and they made sure we had everything we needed for a stress-free stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay as a group. We made some great memories here and would absolutely recommend it to anyone traveling with a group of friends or family.

We booked Charlie's home for the Christmas Holiday week with my wife and adult children. The home was perfect for what we wanted, a country Christmas! The home was amazing and everyone had their own rooms and bathrooms! A must when you have 6 people in the house! The location is ideal, you can walk less than 10 minutes and you are in Downtown Waynesville. Lots of places to eat and shop. Charlie was an amazing host, she is very responsive and she is always quick to respond. She went the extra mile and decorated the house for Christmas, including a Christmas tree in the Family room! It was the perfect touch! We would definitely recommend staying at Twin Maples Farm House!!

If you want privacy, seclusion and the most amazing star gazing experience of your life (seriously!), this is the place for you! Come prepared to relax and take in the countryside with gorgeous mountain views and adorable farms dotting the landscape.

The pictures do not do any justice for the AMAZING views!! it was so peaceful, quiet and completely secluded. If you are looking for relaxation with the only noise you hear is the wildlife, this is your place. We will definitely be returning.

Great place. Cleanest place even the porch was clean no cobwebs at all and the hummingbirds came to drink all day it was a fun touch. We love it in Maggie valley

A great place for a weekend getaway for friends or family. Isolated from the rest of the world, beautiful and peaceful.

We loved everything about this cottage...will definitely come back with our family again! It was the perfect destination for a weekend getaway!

My wife and I were thrilled when we walked in there for our 7 day honeymoon ! Small but necessary amenities. Rustic but beautiful ! Very secluded and private but still easy to get to. My wife called it " paradise " ! We loved it !

This home was perfect for our family of 3 teens and 3 adults. It was spacious and clean, we wanted for nothing. All this with a very accommodating, understanding and hospitable owners, who let us stay even after Helene's destruction to their bridge. Thank you for the wonderful stay this Thanksgiving 2024.

Such a beautiful and peaceful cabin tucked a way with a lot of hiking close by. The cabin was rustic, clean, and just as described/pictured. My boyfriend and I did a couple of nice hikes including Looking Glass Rock Trail as suggested by Lucas. Greg/Lucas were very accommodating and responsive.

This is a really special place! The views! The aesthetic and decor was so lovely and still comfy at the same time. We loved everything from the outdoor sitting areas (we did not use the fire pit) to the amazing bathroom(s), to the nice large kitchen and lastly the comfy beds, everything was above excellent! Felt secluded and we even saw a wild turkey and of course the goats on the farm across the way. We rank this stay one of the top 5 we’ve had through AirBnb. We hope to return when we have longer to stay. The driveway was a bit steep but we did make it with our front wheel drive…. But take caution. Well worth it to us! We will definitely be back!

This is our 3rd year coming to Brenda’s. We always like coming here to connect as a family. Mo and Brenda ate great hosts, always checking with our needs.

My friends and I enjoyed our weekend getaway at The Runaway Chalet. The driveway was a little tricky due to recent snowfall, but April suggested an alternative approach to enter driveway. We plan to return next year!

This is a nice peaceful and relaxing place to get away from the city. It is surrounded by beautiful views and a lot of nice people. The Lot is hidden from street view and is very nice and clean. It is a good middle area from all the tourist attractions and places to visit. We highly recommend visiting this place and explore the surrounding areas. We appreciate all the hospitality from the owner and the opportunity to let us stay in a great place that was affordable.

Beautiful property and amazing location!

Carolyn's place is very clean, safe, beautiful, and loaded with all anyone might need during a stay. The location and view are amazing! Carolyn is very responsive and friendly. I enjoyed my trip and cannot wait to go back!

The hosts were so sweet and kind. The space was perfect for my weekend away to find peace. Highly recommend staying here!

Would recommend, very clear about policies and check in/check out process. Overall great experience!

Great little find for a few nights. Great host.

Carolyn's place was spotless and we felt very comfortable staying there. The view of the lake and mountains were amazing. It was wonderful to be able to take a walk every morning and feel the peace of God's presence. We will definitely be back!

This was our second stay at Carolyn’s wonderful Airbnb, and it was just as perfect as the first! The lake views are absolutely stunning—peaceful, scenic, and the perfect getaway. Carolyn is a fantastic experienced host, thoughtful and welcoming. It felt like coming back home. Our dog got to join us, and he loved it just as much as we did! If you’re traveling with a dog, you can’t beat the accommodations of Carolyn‘s place. It’s so nice to find a place that’s both pet-friendly and convenient and nice and truly relaxing for humans. We can’t recommend Carolyn’s home high enough and will definitely be back again. Thank you, Carolyn, for another amazing visit!

Wonderful place to stay with family and friends. Great kitchen with all the necessities to cook with while you’re there! Plenty of pantry and storage space to bring your own food. Definitely follow their GPS instructions and address they give you in separate email. It gets dark out there so keep that in mind when arriving. Minutes away from WCU and beautiful gated community We will be back!
