Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Rutherford County

We had an amazing stay at Lisa's modern cabin. The gravel road was easy to navigate and check in was very smooth. The cabin was immaculately clean and very thoughtfully decorated. Our kids enjoyed the space, we were glad to have toys and puzzles for them in the house to play with. We loved sitting on the deck and taking in the views and outdoors. We look forward to coming back!!

a great place with a great view. secluded with a friendly cat that comes to visit from time to time. very charming; we loved our stay

Fantastic place to stay! Me and my grew are repeat guests after the first stay! We do storm work and have a crew of drivers, and the place suits us perfect. Very thankful for the fanatic response host. Dawn is phenomenal and she wants to see to it that we are all taken care of.

Julius’s home is the perfect mountain getaway. The property, inside and out, is full of lush plants. It is perfect for a relaxing weekend away spent with loved ones. The beds were so comfortable and the kitchen is perfect for preparing a meal. Julius was more than accommodating and very helpful during our stay. ✨

Matt's place has incredible views of Lake Lure, providing a vista that exceeded our expectations. Check-in was easy and fast. The property was spotless upon arrival. The privacy of the property was ideal, no neighbors in sight as the property sits atop a hill on a larger lot. I will miss waking up to sunrises over Lake Lure and the surrounding mountains! Thanks for hosting us Matt, looking to book again in the future!

This home was absolutely beautiful! From the cozy decor to the comfortable beds, clean linens/towels, and home—plus the babbling creek right outside! I could not recommend this space more. The location is great if you're looking to be out and away but within a reasonable drive into town/cities (Black Mountain is about 15-20 minutes, Asheville is about 40-45 minutes). Jason and his family were proactive in communication, extremely helpful, and left very clear instructions for their home. As a dog owner, the provided dog towels, blanket cover, and bowls were such a helpful touch that made the stay that much better. Thank you again for a wonderful stay! Major highlights: Very clean, comfortable, cozy, and peaceful.

We booked this place for the gorgeous views, and it delivered! We had a peaceful stay here. The house is so beautiful and clean, and the kitchen was stocked with everything I needed to prepare home cooked meals. There are also beautiful and fun hikes in the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the green creek shipyard 2.0! It exceeded every expectation. Contactless checkin. We loved the swing bed over the waterfall and spent a lot of time down there and in the hot tub. We came with a whole itinerary of activities but ended up just soaking in our time at the airbnb! Bed was super comfortable and we slept great. We brought our counter top ice maker and next time I’d bring a fan as the first night it was warm in the bedroom as the split ac unit is in the living room but by the second night it did cool down a lot. We brought some card/dice games, and played corn hole. We spent majority of our time outside enjoying each other and the scenery. We had neighbors in the next container but never saw them, only occasionally could hear them. It was very private and romantic which we loved. We ended up hiking triple falls and ate at the silver spoon saloon at the tryon equestrian center. Hope to be back soon, and wished we booked another night!

We had a wonderful time at Jennifer’s home. Her parents, Ed and Kay welcomed us and made us feel right at home. They provided wine and delicious snacks for us and also gave us passes to Rumbling Bald. The place is right on the lake and absolutely beautiful. The inside is much more beautiful than in the pictures, as it is tastefully decorated and good quality linens and towels were provided. They had every thing available that we could need, expensive toiletries and plenty of floats and kayaks. I can’t say i’ve ever stayed at an air bnb that was so thoughtfully appointed before. We will definitely be back.

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 :)

Nice accommodation in a nice area. We would use this accommodation again when we travel through again. Host was very polite.

“Best one yet,” to quote my husband. We LOVED calling this adorable and private accommodation of Rose’s our home away from home for the 12 days we spent in Chimney Rock. Everything that we needed and more was provided. Rose is delightful and made us feel so welcomed. The village of Chimney Rock, nestled in the Hickory Nut Gorge, is a treasure with restaurants and plenty of little shops that are walkable from this location. And the star of the show, Chimney Rock State Park, is directly behind Rose’s house, just a 3-mile jaunt up the mountain. Rose’s garden alone is a gem to behold, located right outside your door. We loved the privacy of the location, as well as the peace and quiet that was afforded to us after busy days hiking and exploring this magnificent region. We were thrilled to see a few other residents of this area from time to time, members of the black bear population. So if you are searching for an authentic experience when coming to Chimney Rock, this is the place!

If you’re reading this, just book your reservation. Everything was perfect with my stay. This host is amazing 10/10 ⭐️

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!

Nicely furnished and good location for my visit. Her guidebook had good information about restaurants in the area. Neighborhood was very quiet.

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!

The house was great and had the most well stocked kitchen I’ve ever had at an Airbnb. The property was beautiful with plenty to explore with the kids. And it’s close to Asheville and the surrounding communities if you want to go out to dinner and explore.

It was a great peaceful Escape for the weekend. The hosts were very communicative and the place was very clean.

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!

We enjoyed our stay. Kathleen was very helpful. Thank you

It is rare an Airbnb is even better than the photos but Derek and Misty's place was just that. No matter how much time you are planning to spend at the condo it is equipped with everything you could need and more. I have been coming to Lake Lure for over 10+ years and highly recommend their condo if you are coming with 2-3 people. It is also very pet-friendly. Hoping to be back soon!

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!
