Family-friendly vacation rentals in North Shore

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...

This was our 2nd stay. It's such a great place to spend time with family--lots of room & things to do...and a very well stocked kitchen. And they lake is so peaceful. Thank you, Charles and Nancy, for sharing your beautiful place.

Beautiful scenery. Fully stocked house (THANK YOU). They have kayaks, a wonderful outdoor firplace/gas grill (with a small fridge and microwave as well! Hightly recommend!

Quaint and peaceful place perfect for a long weekend gateway! Alicia is a very responsive host that quickly addressed a couple of minor issues at check-in. We ate a couple of times at the golf club’s restaurant nearby (~10min away, good food) and ordered in from a local pizzeria for our last night at the lodge (Alessandro’s). Highly recommend this place.

What a wonderful place to spend a few days relaxing and exploring this part of Virginia. It's beautiful and so full of interesting places to visit. The farmhouse was so nice -clean and well-stocked. And, of course, the fresh eggs were the 'icing on the cake." We enjoyed our stay very much.

Ms. Michelle hosted my team as we were in town for a tournament and we thoroughly enjoyed the large space with the nice bedrooms, spacious living rooms, and the hot tub. We had access to everything we needed, with Ms. Michelle even getting some extra towels for us. A great stay!

It was so wonderful, words can barely describe how serene this stay was. James was so kind, helpful, and quick with his responses. I’d definitely book with him again!

I loved everything about this home. Parking was available, quiet home , very clean , decorated nicely , honestly it felt like home away from home . Very cozy ! Thank you so much for letting me stay in your home !

We were very happy with Danielle’s hospitality and the space worked so well for our family with a pet. I would highly recommend this place.

Kelli's place was absolutely perfect for our party of four + dog! We were visiting for a wedding with many events throughout the week, frequently coming & going. Location was very convenient to downtown & just off the main road for us. We particularly appreciated that while the place felt homey, it wasn't overly full of decorations covering every surface, making you feel like your belongings are going to get easily lost. It was well equipped to cook at the place & we wanted for nothing! Kelli was extremely kind & accommodating to our schedule. We would definitely stay here again!

Jennifer’s place is such a gem. If you like being on the lake and having all the toys and amenities already taken care of for you then this is your place. I have my own kayaks but it was nice to not to have to worry about bringing them. Kayaks for adults and kids, paddle boat, paddle board, beautiful deck, multiple ladders to get out after swimming. They have board games and a karaoke machine that was so fun. The porch was so nice and relaxing. Better than the pictures. You should stay here.

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

This home was the perfect place for us to enjoy a weekend visiting our son at Liberty University. It was super spacious, comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. Aaron made it easy to plan as everything was communicated well and timely. We’d definitely would book this place again and highly recommend it! It was wonderful!

The Hully was a fun space and a perfect location for our needs. Thank you.

Chelsea's place offered a slice of quiet Roanoke life in a vibrant neighborhood full of beautiful historic homes. I walked almost every day to Second Cafe for my caffeine fix and enjoyed a wonderful lunch at the nearby Evie's cafe. I found the location unbeatable and the cabin perfect for a solo stay.

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!

Giulia has a very nice apartment that was clean with plenty of room. Although close to town, there is a remote feel as the house is surrounded by woods - a definite plus for me.

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 🙂

Great place to stay. Easy access and everything was clean and in order We would stay here again

Great place. Great location in proximity to Liberty University. Our host was gracious and kind. He was prompt with communication and never intruded on us when we were there. Although it was in his basement, it did not feel like it. We came and went with relative ease. The property is clean and well maintained. We would rent from Steve again.

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