Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Polk County

Tryon is a beautiful small town. We were there for a family funeral so we didnt spend much time site-seeing. The accommodations were just perfect for the four of us. If we get to Tryon for a vacation we would be more than happy to stay here again. The home was stocked with everything we needed and more.

Green River Ranch was just what we hoped for: rustic, charming, quiet, pet-friendly and very clean. The direct access to the Green River was fun. We spent one afternoon sitting in beach chairs, chatting with all of the kayakers and tubers who floated past us. Our dog loved romping in the field. The central air conditioner was great -- kept us cool during our late-July stay.

We had a great stay in Tryon near our dear friends. Walkable to their house and the lovely downtown!

The Cabin is well appointed with comfortable beds, A/C, great shower and great location close to Tryon, Landrum, and Columbus with their horse activities. Located in a quiet neighborhood.

The Container was picture perfect! Private, clean and very convenient to TIEC. Gabe was extremely responsive and helpful during my stay there.

My family (2 adults & 2 children) took out a few days in Tryon for Spring break (March 2025). Firstly, the location and home were exactly as shown online. The location is extremely private and there was no wear and tear which made all of us feel like we were home from home. The bedrooms (3 in total) were large and spacious, the kitchen well stocked with basic sundries which allowed us to cook every night. Spending time together with breathtaking views was icing on the cake. The winner was the games room in the basement which we spent numerous hours at - pool table, giant Jenga, card game etc. Off the games room was a lovely hot tub which overlooked the mountains which was thoroughly used by all of us. Peter was extremely responsive to questions and super helpful which made us feel extremely looked after. I would highly recommend this location and I am sure we will be back again!

We celebrated Easter weekend at this beautiful and utterly charming home. The gorgeous yard was a perfect backdrop to our egg hunt, and we were able to serve brunch in the well-stocked kitchen. We enjoyed walking to downtown Saluda for coffee at Wakey Monkey, breakfast at Wildflour Bakery, and dinners at Green River BBQ and The Purple Onion. Saluda is back and ready to welcome visitors, and this house is a wonderful home-base to enjoy it all.

The house is absolutely beautiful and the pictures don’t do it justice. The kids loved being able to explore around the house and the views were phenomenal. We will definitely be booking again in the future.

Just a great place to stay! Well appointed, convenient to TIEC and beautiful surroundings.

Cute place! This basement apartment had a nice kitchen and living room area. Lots of room! I was in town for work (working nights at TIEC and sleeping during the day). It was mostly quiet for that, but just a little pitter patter of paws a few times. Bring a noise machine if that would be an issue for you! Also a sleep mask came in handy for day sleeping. Would book again :)

Absolutely one of the best Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in. The location is spectacularly quiet, peaceful, and incredibly private—with sweeping sunrise views across the valley that made every morning feel magical. The private deck was perfect for coffee at dawn, and I especially loved the designated bear-watch area (complete with their very own “bear pool”—such a fun and unique touch!). The home itself is beautifully and comfortably decorated, with every detail thoughtfully considered. The kitchen was impressively well-stocked, making it easy to cook and feel right at home. On top of it all, Deanna was super responsive and made everything seamless from start to finish. Can’t recommend this place enough—an unforgettable retreat!

Easy walking distance to downtown, decorated nicely and very clean. Donna stopped by to say hey. We enjoyed the little courtyard also.

We had such a wonderful stay!!! The apartment and gardens were so lovely, peaceful, and private. The apartment was very clean, beautifully decorated, and had the perfect view of the gardens. The location is perfect and made walking to town a breeze! We so enjoyed talking to Walter and sherry too. They were an absolute delight! Highly recommend this gem! We can’t wait to visit again!

Debbie was extremely gracious! We were deleted by over 12 hours and when we arrived, she welcomed us into her “home”! The space was gorgeous and perfect. Completing the perfect experience was loving on Jack and Earl. A donkey kiss can go a long way!

My fiancé and I loved our time spent at Gloria’s! She was a delightful host and her place was super cozy, clean, and relaxing! The super soft bed felt wonderful! We also loved our private entrance and the location was absolutely perfect for sightseeing. Once we arrived, our vehicle was parked until the day we left. We easily walked to downtown Saluda our entire stay! We look forward to coming here again in 2025!

My wife and i felt so comfortable and at home. We love the quiet setting and the animals. Sunrises on the farm are breathtaking. I really enjoyed learning and helping on the farm with the cows and seeing how the cheese is made. If ever I’m back in the area, I will definitely stay there or at least stop in for an ice cream, some cheese and to say hello.

We had a great stay at Donna’s. It was clean and comfortable, and Donna is very responsive.

This was my second time staying at Lindsay's place and it was just as wonderful as my first visit. The rental is great and is well stocked with everything you could want or need. I hope I'll be able to make a third visit in the future!

Really enjoyed the place. Elizabeth provided a great experience responded quick and gave recommendations. We feel right at home and the hot tub was a huge bonus!!! Thank you so much for a great time

Had a very nice and relaxing stay. Alicia was great and checked on us. Home was in very nice condition and had everything we needed. Would recommend to anyone!

Beautiful rental and location. I loved that it was clean and very cozy.

I really loved the location, my room and bathroom were perfect. They were responsive, and quickly, whenever I had a question. Their place felt like a second home for the moment. I loved it!

It was absolutely perfect for our anniversary getaway. Host was friendly and responsive. Area was beautiful and peaceful (even with rebuilding after hurricane helen). Room was perfect just like pictured. Definitely will recommend and plan to return.

Absolutely perfect for our needs! The space was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with all the necessities, making our stay stress-free. The host truly thought of everything and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. She was incredibly responsive and accommodating, always quick to answer any questions we had. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay—highly recommend!
