Vacation rentals with a kayak in Johnson County

We had a wonderful stay at It’s 5 O’Clock Somewhere. The house is beautiful and Brandon did a great job communicating and letting us know all about the place. Our kids loved the bunk bed! The kitchen is very nicely equipped. GPS directions can get a little tricky as you get close (or at least our car’s navigation system sent us a somewhat crazy way from Boone), but it is a wonderful location right next to Appalachian Ski Mountain. It is very easy I get to downtown Blowing Rock from the house, too! I wish we could stay longer. We definitely would rent it again!! Thank you!!

We had a wonderful time. The place was pristine, great amenities, beautiful property, very well stocked kitchen. We would highly recommend this air bnb. The neighborhood is gorgeous, very hilly with beautiful views of the mountains. Has plenty of space for a large gathering.

we had a such great time during our visit. The location is absolutely beautiful. We woke up early just to sit outside and enjoy the nature around us. Kathryn and Paula were amazing hosts. They made us feel so welcome by having very clear directions, plenty of activities, and even birthday goodies! everyone felt very comfortable and enjoyed their time. Cannot wait to return for a longer stay!

Great location for what we needed would definitely stay again

We had an amazing stay and thoroughly enjoyed the front yard for all day sledding! The house was spacious - perfect for our four families! Most importantly, the hosts were super friendly and responsive to any questions we had! We will definitely be back to enjoy the river in the summer!!

Fantastic visit to Boone- felt right at home! Loved the privacy and the decor, place was well equipped and very cozy. Will definitely stay again!

Great place to stay, spacious and comfortable. We spent a lot of time in the outdoor space. Beds and bedding were super comfy. Kitchen crockery and utensils well stocked. Super walks set within the community. We had a lovely time!

This was my second time staying here. Chris is always very nice and helpful. I’m looking forward to staying a third time ! Thank you Chris for allowing me to stay in this wonderful home !

My family and I enjoyed our stay. we hiked a portion of the Appalachian Trail into Grayson Highlands and it was really nice to come back to the cabin after a long day on the trail. the beds were comfortable and the TV was nice, although we didn't use it much. the cabin has everything you need, just make sure you remember to bring coffee! The closest restaurants and grocery stores are a little ways away from the cabin. the convenience store down the road had some stuff but only sold coffee by the cup. The property itself is gorgeous and we had plenty of space to walk our dog. we really enjoyed our time here. thank you guys for having us.

We recently stayed at the Stargazer Airbnb while we were in town for MerleFest and visiting family, and it was absolutely perfect. The property is stunning — a beautiful, peaceful setting that felt like a true escape. The cottage itself was cozy, spotless, and had so many thoughtful touches, like towels for the hot tub, plush robes, and even a bottle of wine waiting for us. There were even supplies ready for making s'mores! The hot tub was a wonderful bonus, and we loved relaxing under the stars. The hosts were fantastic communicators and so accommodating throughout our stay. We would absolutely stay here again. Thank you Benjamin and Sommer for an amazing weekend!

We enjoyed our stay so much and will definitely be here again. The location was perfect and spacious

If you looking for a great place to stay where you can take in beautiful surroundings, then this place is it. It was very rustic and semi private. We loved this place and all it had to offer. The host were very helpful and very responsive. I would recommend 10/10 for staying here. Thank you guys for sharing your home with my daughter and I. We will be back!

Great little cottage for a weekend trip. Perfect for a couple and nice if you have a dog with a fenced in yard. Great location getting to the Blue Ridge Pkwy or Boone. One thing I will say it sits right on hwy 421, but you don’t hear the traffic at all when inside the house.

Mariann's place is AMAZING! We have stayed here before and it was a go to again when needing to return for a family member's funeral. It's a great location and such a beautiful home. Mariann was so gracious and kind to work with and responded very quickly to any questions we had. She was a delight to work with and we will definitely rebook here if we need to return.

Beautiful home and the most well stocked kitchen I’ve ever seen at an AirBnB or VRBO. The family loved it. Only thing is it has houses on each side and not as private as it looked in the photos. River was great but a bit shallow for fishing near th house. Still it was a great time at a lovely home

We had a girls weekend. Celebrating years of friendship. The home was perfect and exactly as described. Beds were comfortable. Everything was clean. We all loved the hottub. Matthew was extremely responsive. We would book the house again for sure.

We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful cabin. The place was incredibly cozy and felt right at home. It had an amazing view from the deck; we spent the vast majority of our vacation relaxing with the scenery. The town was fun to walk through, and there were plenty of walking trails as well. However, the best part of the experience was the wonderful hospitality of our host. She was kind, responsive, engaging, and agile. We would recommend this to any of our friends and would love to come back again.

We had a wonderful stay at Brian’s cabin! It is so perfectly appointed with everything you’d need. It looks just like the pictures, was very clean, and the location was perfect (a short drive into town). The views are everything!! Brian was super helpful and responded very quickly when we had an issue with the tv. We would love to visit again soon!

The cabin was a great little hideaway! We did lose power and have to leave early, but I suppose that's part of the risk of a cabin in winter.

Great cabin close to town and Grandfather Mountain. Highly recommend!

Peter was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay! He was also very accommodating for our needs. Thanks for everything you’ve done ! We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this place ! Very convenient location, beautiful neighborhood and very nice neighbors. Hot tub was amazing ! Plenty of space for everyone. This truly is a great spot !

Loved the area! Host was VERY helpful! Thank you!! Will definitely be back!
