Family-friendly vacation rentals in Swannanoa

We loved staying here. The dogs had almost as much fun in the back yard as on the trails! The climate was cozy and the back yard felt very private even though you have neighbors. The location was close enough to everything but also far enough from the hustle and bustle to relax. We very much enjoyed our time here and will stay again

Some people host to make money. It’s clear Melissa hosts to help families make memories. We booked last minute due to a horrible experience with another property. Melissa was more than willing to help us out with everything from an early check in to local recommendations for food that met the requirements of a strict medical diet. Her place was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need including items for our pup. The house was very comfortable and extremely clean. She responded quickly to every question. The check out process was an absolute dream. No stripping beds or taking out trash. We were just able to leave and get on the road. Truly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had in the last twenty years of traveling.

Brett has an Amazing place. He also is very attentive if you need anything. Will definitely be coming back soon

couldn't have asked for a better location. Walking distance to lots and lots of restaurants and breweries. Joe's instructions were clear and the home was clean and very comfortable. thank you so much for the wonderful accommodations!

The bungalow is located on a mountain slope with beautiful mountain views. It's very private and relaxing. It has two large verandahs, with a hot tub on the top one, so you can enjoy the views even on a cold day. Inside, the kitchen is spacious and very well equipped, the bedroom has places for you to put your clothing away, and the bed and linens were very comfortable. The inside gets a lot of sunlight, particularly the living room, making it even more cozy. The living room has a TV and gas fireplace. Downstairs you can find the washing and drying machines and a ping pong table. I totally recommend the bungalow for a relaxing vacation. We stayed at the cabin about two months after hurricane Helene passed through the area. While there was a lot of devastation, particularly close to rivers, the area around the cabin has already been cleaned up of any debris. We were still able to find some good hiking around Asheville, and trails seems to be reopening, just check and plan ahead of time.

Robert was a great host! Everything was as described and we felt right at home! I would highly recommend!

Awesome house and location. Would definitely stay here again!

"Modern cabin" is a modest description ... I would call this a mountain retreat! There were four of us (two couples), but the home would have easily accommodated eight. The design of the house was well thought out and roomy, and the decor was stylish and tasteful. It did not seem like a rental. The kitchen was fully equipped. Thick towels and a bubbly hot tub awaited our arrival, and the Saturday morning scones & hot chocolate were a delightful treat! Perfect spot for a remote get-away, but still just 20 minutes from downtown Ashville and many other attractions. We could not have been happier with this "cabin"!

If you’re in Asheville, I highly recommend this house. It was beautiful, comfortable, peaceful and located in a great area. Beds were comfy, chefs kitchen and the living room was out of a magazine. The backyard is amazing, large, lots of areas to sit and chill. Loved listening to the stone water fountain. Also, a nice outdoor fire pit. And separated by a fence and out of sight, chickens and rabbits! Opening the fridge to find a loaf of blueberry bread and fresh yard eggs was nice and welcoming. One of my favorite Airbnb stays.

First, Doug and Marcia are lovely folks - warm and helpful. The views of their farm, the animals, and the mountains from the porch are terrific. The rooms are very clean and they make it extra nice with snacks and brochures with information about the area. We will be back!

Smithson was very friendly and accommodating. The cottage was very clean and felt like home and relaxing. I highly recommend the cottage for a wonderful visit in Asheville NC. We will definitely be back!!!

I lived in the cottage for two months and it’s a very special place. Magical touches abound, extremely thoughtfully stocked, and above and beyond hospitality. The bed is comfy, the hot tub under the stars is dreamy, and the location is peaceful and close to nature & the sweetest coffee shop on the east side. Kambra’s hosting is really what makes this place stand out—she is extremely responsive, kind, and laid back. I felt right at home and can’t recommend highly enough!

It was a wonderful stay. The home has a cozy boho vibe, I fell in love instantly. My favorite part of the stay is their record player with a small record collection. I would stay at the house again!

Had an amazing experience staying here with beautiful views

This place is GREAT! It was exactly as advertised but actually even better in that the rooms are bigger than they looking the photos and the shower is huge with outstanding water pressure. The place is very dog-friendly, and Shane and Silver are wonderful hosts. A dog-friendly coffee shop - Penny Cup, which I highly recommend as well - is less than aile away and a perfect morning walk with your dog!!! I will definitely try to stay here again.

Location was beautiful, the amenities were as described and I look forward to seeing it’s availability in the future

Great house and great hosts. Thanks.

Everything was beyond my expectations, so comfy, cleaned, cozy, you have everything you need to not have the need to go anywhere! I’d be booking this property again! And mostly important, NO MICE ISSUES AT ALL! Just keep trash bags inside the garage as instructed ! Thank you Tami!

From the first day we arrived I was in awe , the cottage was very clean with nice relaxing views of the mountains, the swimming pool was excellent, mrs Brenda Brooks was very nice knowledgeable and helpful. She made our stay very nice. I’m planning to go back next year. I would recommend this place to anyone if you want to go for relaxation and a peace of mind. The local supermarket in Burnsville Ingles was excellent. It was so big and it had everything that you could want. I would just like to say thank you Mrs. Brooks for the lovely time at your place.

Great house if you don’t want to contend with winding mountain roads and don’t mind being 20 minutes from downtown. Perfect location for a relaxing weekend. Pool and hot tub were enjoyed greatly, and expansive back yard gives great feeling of privacy. Rooms were all spacious enough for 8 adults to be comfortable. Would definitely book again for a mountain getaway!

Amazing trip! The host was so sweet and even offered for us to extend our stay due to weather. Felt like family. Beautiful room and service. Happy to help our WNC 🫶🏻

the kitchen is well-stocked and suitable to cook for large parties. we really appreciated that. the house is big enough for 2 or 3 different families to have plenty of space and of course, the game room is so nicely seperated from the formal living room. we had 2 challenges while there which didn't put me off but didn't make the experience quite worth the price range, which is top for that area. One, the fireplace in the main room was without gas and none was available during the holiday week. That's a main feature of the home that wasn't working properly. two, Rumbling Bald Property management is very responsive but not quite forthcoming with linens;) we had 1 kitchen towel and ONE bath towel per person...for a 7 day stay. and there's a hot tub, besides! the house didn't quite deliver the service that the price range suggests but it has the potential to. the property management IS on site and they ARE responsive, so just being really clear and communicative is necessary.

I cannot recommend this property enough! From the moment I stepped inside, I was blown away by how clean and spacious the home was. It was impeccably maintained, with every detail thoughtfully cared for. The layout was perfect for relaxing or entertaining, and it felt like a true home away from home. The cleanliness stood out the most—everything was spotless and fresh, which made the stay so much more enjoyable. The hosts clearly take pride in maintaining their property to the highest standard. If you’re looking for a comfortable, well-maintained, and spacious place to stay, look no further. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone!

This is in a beautiful neighborhood, very peaceful and quiet. Accommodations are great. Josh is a great host, very helpful and responsive. This is our second stay here and we will be back.
