Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Santeetlah Lake

The home was very clean and comfortable and anything we needed was provided. It is quite spacious yet sitting in the living room at night with the gas fireplace turned on was so cozy. Sitting on the back porch was peaceful and serene - total bliss. Gloria is a wonderful host and I would recommend staying here and hope to again.

We had an amazing stay at this Airbnb with our family of 10, ranging from a baby to grandparents. The house was meticulously maintained and spotlessly clean. It had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing trip. The layout was perfect, with plenty of space for everyone to spread out while still having great common areas for gathering. Every room was beautifully designed, so no one felt like they got the “lesser” room. The views were absolutely incredible, and we loved the added amenities—board games, foosball, a jacuzzi, and a grill. The host was fantastic—super responsive, helpful with local recommendations, and proactive in keeping us informed about a nearby fire. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this home for any group looking for a relaxing and well-equipped retreat!

We loved the house and will stay there again. We have family in the area and visit yearly. We previously stayed in a hotel but now bring Mom with us, so having separate bed and bath is really nice. The amenities are great and the kitchen had everything I needed to do a little cooking.

We loved being able to travel with our dogs. The backyard was beautiful we enjoyed sitting on the deck as well as letting the dogs run free in the woods in the back! She was very responsive and a great host.

Very nice spot. Quiet and close to everything.

Easy check in. Hosts allowed early check-in because we arrived too early. Dog run available for use while we needed to get ready for different events. Well centered between Franklin and Sylva. Short drive to Georgia state line going South. Short ride to Waynesville going east. Follow hosts direction not to take Brendle to home. We have a 4WD Jeep and used it but would not recommend for small sedans or SUV’s/trucks. We also were able to get a delivery from Instacart for our groceries.

Selena’s home was simply amazing! Looked just like the pictures, super clean, beautiful view and location! Very responsive with messaging. Next time I’m in Franklin I will stay again!

I have never stayed at a more well stocked rental. If you forgot anything, no worries, she probably has it in the house! Joan left some very thoughtful, personal touches like having the heated blanket turned on for me when I arrived, a bowl of treats, etc. My favorite part is a tie between the gorgeous claw foot soaking tub which I used every night, and the beautiful view of the mountains from a large picture window. The location was really beautiful, and had a grocery store and multiple gas stations within a few miles of the house. The only thing that kept it from being perfect, was the spotty wifi, which is understandable in the mountains, but all the lighting was hooked to Google, so Google either didn't understand, or the wifi kept failing for the commands. It just seemed it took 5x as long to turn on a lamp, than simply turning the switch. I ended up unhooking the one in the bedroom during my stay. I would highly recommend this rental, and Joan is an amazing host.

would stay here again ! lovely location and nice place inside and out

Great location for short walks to nearby restaurants, shopping, and train depot. Space was clean and as described. Would definitely stay here again if returning to Bryson City.

Kela’s place was wonderful! We loved being right in the heart of downtown. It was convenient being able to walk to so many shops and restaurants including the bakery/coffee shop directly downstairs. Kela was super friendly and quick to respond whenever I reached out.

If you are looking for a comfortable place to stay in a peaceful location close to downtown Franklin, look no further! Up a quaint, winding road, nestled in the trees is a wonderful two bedroom ground level apartment waiting just for you. Once you arrive you will be warmly greeted by your hosts Dave, Barb & Beans who are always available but never intrusive. Their view is wonderful! The property exactly as described. You Can’t ask for more! And I can’t wait to go back!

Five stars is not enough. Great location, comfortable, all you need is there and if it isn't Sean will make sure it is there in the blink of an eye.

Great location! Walking distance to everything in downtown Murphy. Was cool to wake up and have the farmers market going on next door on Saturday. We didn’t get a chance to enjoy the river walk but next time.

This was one of the most adventurous spring breaks I’ve ever had. Glenn’s place was not only relaxing, scenic, and had wonderful accommodations, but Glenn has been the best host I’ve ever had. After having car troubles (busted radiator), Glenn drove me and my friend to a local mechanic he knew to get the job done. Glenn and his wife, Christy, always made sure be and my friend were having fun and I’m safe hands. If you ever stay in Glenn’s cabin, which I highly recommend you do, you’ll have to ask Glenn about his life, one of the most interesting stories I’ve ever heard from anyone!

A wonderful weekend getaway with my kids (10-16). It was incredibly peaceful and we enjoyed relaxing time watching rain roll in over the mountains in the late afternoon. Would go back in a heartbeat!

Would stay again!

Great location in a very quiet, peaceful setting. Condo furnishings were nice and everything was very clean. We would definitely stay here again!

It was great staying at Kylie’s place once again. She is always quickly to respond and left us with helpful recommendations when we came to visit. We definitely recommend staying here!

We loved our time at William’s place! We can’t wait to return.

This stay was an absolute dream! From the moment we booked, the host was incredibly welcoming and communicative, providing all the information we needed and even some fantastic local recommendations. The property itself was immaculate – clearly extremely well-maintained with every detail thoughtfully considered. It felt like stepping into a home away from home, with all the comforts and amenities you could ask for. We can't recommend this Airbnb enough, especially if you appreciate top-notch hospitality and a spotless environment!

My family and I enjoyed our stay. The views from the house are incredible. It is very peaceful. The place was clean. Nina was very helpful and responsive when needed. We used the pool and hot tub, which was a short walk down the driveway. I highly recommend this place if you’re visiting the area!

This is a great property in an amazing location. It is right off of the main highway to the national park, Cade's Cove and the mountains. However, it feels secluded. Great restaurants and activities nearby. Shane was very responsive. I will definitely stay in the condo again.

The location was so peaceful. I felt they thought of everything that we would need. Everything was clean, the beds were comfortable and the screened in back porch was my favorite.
