Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Waynesville

Loved staying at this mountain getaway! We enjoyed the beautiful views on the deck and we were able to play 18 holes at the course that the house is overlooking. Such a cool spot and I can’t wait to be back!

This was a lovely place and exactly what I wanted!! The dog door and fenced in area was enough to convince my boyfriend that he needs to install one at his place. The view on the deck was incredibly peaceful! John was super friendly and helped with anything we needed. I worked “remotely” while I was there and no issues with the Wi-Fi! There were lots of nice little touches in the house and the bed was comfortable. Thank you!

We had a fantastic stay at the Eagles Nest. It’s in a lovely, quiet neighborhood next to a peaceful creek, but still close to grocery stores and a quick 30-minute run to the AVL airport. We enjoyed seeing a mama turkey with her four babies in the yard. The home was perfect for our group of seven adults, and four separate floors provides privacy but still a large common kitchen/living room where we played games and ate meals together. The kitchen is well-stocked with the best coffee (Keurig and Nespresso) bar I’ve seen! We really appreciated the to-go cups as well. Towels were plush and plentiful, and all of the beds were comfortable. Matthew was a great host — exceptionally responsive and provided clear instructions. We would definitely return for another stay to this beautiful home!

Great place to stay while visiting! Short drive to Main Street. Very clean and comfortable. Jacuzzi was perfect and we loved staying in this home! Thank you again Erin we look forward to coming back!!

We just returned from our second stay at the Farmhouse. Based upon our first stay we had a high expectation for a second visit. Our expectations were exceeded in almost every area. Watching the animals does have a very therapeutic effect. The view of the sunset over the mountains can be breath taking. In physical terms, my wife has back problems and traveling can pose a real challenge. The bed and recliner at the Farmhouse fit her perfectly. She was able to sit in the recliner for hours and take in the view through a large picture window. The décor and cleanliness of the farmhouse are exceptional. Waynesville and Maggie Valley have proven to have excellent restaurants and shopping. It is often said that return customers are the sign of a successful business. We already have our dates reserved for an October trip.

Stayed here for a night as a quick girls weekend and it was PERFECT! We felt safe and right at home. David was very proactive with plenty of instructions and pictures which helped with the use of the hot tub! We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub and enjoyed movies in bed! The kitchen was beautiful and well stocked with appliances and kitchen wares if needed. It was SPOTLESS and the whole place was just beautiful! Showers and bathrooms were very nice and squeaky clean. We had plenty of towels, extra linens, and pillows. We loved the bee theme of the house and felt so safe having the fenced in backyard. Thank you, David, for sharing such a beautiful place and the honey was delicious, too! If you are considering staying here- BOOK IT! We will def be staying here again!

This home was perfect. Secluded high on a mountaintop where there are neighbors you never see. There were six of us celebrating a Wake Forest University graduate. The home was fully stocked with everything you could need. We cooked every night. The grills were great! We have the same grills at home so it was convenient. It was nice to have the use of a washer and dryer. The hot tub was perfect for relaxing in the day and at night after sightseeing especially after some unusually cooler temps for this time of year. The two wrap around decks provided space for everyone to have their own chairs for morning coffee. We fished in the pond and loved spending time with the community donkey "Jack". There was high wind one day and the power went out . Anthony was quick you respond and it was actually restored in less than an hour. Overall this was a great stay! If we plan to come this way again we would definitely consider staying here!

Exceeded my expectations. Although there are neighbors on all sides, it still felt pretty private. Absolutely loved the small creek running through the backyard. Beautiful landscaping surrounding the house. This was a wonderful cabin experience. You can tell this property is well loved because of the thought that went into the decor and the care of it. Would definitely love to stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay. Rodney and Dulcy were very accommodating. Their apartment is conveniently close to a relative we were visiting in Woodfin.

This was such a lovely Airbnb! Squeaky clean, walkable to beautiful Lake Junaluska and just a few minutes to hiking and downtown Waynesville. You can really tell Steve and Susie want their guests to have a five star stay with so many thoughtful touches such as bottled water, coffee, tea, half and half, biscotti’s card games and an abundance of books and guides about the area. There was a private table and chairs outside for a glass of wine or a meal which we loved and the bed was so comfortable. We visit this area often and we are so glad we have found our home away from home in Waynesville. Thank you Steve and Susie for hosting us! Blessings, Steve and Amy

We were in town for a wedding and traveling 7.5 hours to get there the stay was absolutely amazing! It rained while we were there on Friday but we enjoined sitting on the porch with blankets listening to the rain fall on the tin roof! We enjoyed watching the neighbors horses that would come to the fence to visit and we enjoyed watching the chickens beside the house ( don’t worry they are all quiet as well). We ended up being a party of three traveling with a 14 year old boy who never once said he was bored he spent his time on the swings outside and petting the horses! I highly recommend this place it is close to town, nice quiet location, easy driveway, no steps to climb and peaceful! The House is very clean, beds are comfy even the couch bed sleeps well per the 14 year old. The Host is very friendly and made sure we had absolutely everything that we needed! The home is stocked with all the things we needed and was the perfect size! Thank you for having us! Martha, Natalie, Nathan

Rebecca’s basement apartment was great. The space was well cleaned, spacious for my wife and I and as described in the description. There were nice little touches with s’more sticks for the outside fire pit, snacks on the counter, and water in the fridge. My wife particularly liked having the makeup removal wash cloth. The rental is in a great location. Just 2 blocks from Main Street and a short distance from Frog Level. I highly recommend staying in Rebecca’s rental.

I have lived in a lot of places over the past year while traveling for school, and this was the best of the bunch. Everything was great, including a clean comfortable space, available toiletries, efficient appliances, simple check in and out, amazing 10/10 mountain view.

Maggie and Mike are wonderful, responsive, and attentive hosts! They made us feel so welcomed and were very helpful with recommendations for hiking and sightseeing in the area. Meeting them was such an added bonus to a great stay. The apartment was just as described and met all of our expectations. The property is gorgeous and so very peaceful and the view is stunning. We are very glad we stayed here and would like to come again.

We loved staying at Lara’s. Because of rainy weekend, the mountains were especially lush and foggy creating almost magical misty atmosphere. We were able to build a fire every night. Kitchen was perfectly stocked with nice scratch free pots/pans. Lots of nature and little towns to explore nearby. Thank you Lara - we would love to come back!

This was our second time staying with Barbara, and it was nothing short of perfect perfection! We are so grateful to have found this special gem and look forward to visiting again soon!

Place was great, was there for a month. Peaceful, quiet, with beautiful views.

a very nice and comfortable property, located in a precious and very quiet place, definitely return

Keith’s condo is a treasure! It’s a beautiful and thoughtfully designed space. My friends and I stayed here after visiting the synchronous fireflies in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We arrived well after dark, but Keith’s directions made it easy. The condo itself is beautifully decorated. The window bed downstairs has a firm mattress and I slept great. The bed in the loft has a soft mattress topper—my friends said it was like sleeping on a cloud. Come morning, we were stunned by the gorgeous views from each side of the condo. This is a special place that I definitely recommend! Keith was also easy to communicate with. I left a prescription cream behind, and he took the time to reach out to see if I needed it. I appreciated that attentiveness.

The space was clean and the hosts had clear instructions. The bed was very comfortable. Nice location as well; you can walk to restaurants in Gatlinburg.

The views are stunning. We felt right at home from the moment we arrived. So much that we stayed at the condo one day. We played the games and enjoyed the beauty of the mountains. The condo is extremely well stocked. Much better than others that I’ve stayed in. We LOVED the coffee bar. We did have 2 sightings of bears while there! Apparently one took a walk around my car. Thanks Sue for sending the video.

Lisa went out of her way to make her condo a great 'home away from home' experience. She was very personable and it was obvious that she loved being a great host, after all, she is great at it! We don't travel a lot, so it was very important to us that this was going to be a memorable experience. It was that, and more. I won't hesitate to make a return visit.

We loved place, it was close to the store or places like anakeesta or pigeon forge, and it has the things we needed in the kitchen, it’s great place for couple, and great communication!

I have stayed in many places in Gatlinburg but Gabriel’s is by far the best. The unit was incredibly clean , furniture was comfortable especially the bed. The walk to downtown is convenient and allows you to leave your car for the duration of your stay , no need to deal with any Gatlinburg traffic. I highly recommend this Airbnb, the host is responsive and provides and excellent experience!!!
