Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Swain County

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 enjoyed our stay at Susan’s place. Very close to downtown and lots of space.

This was our second time staying in this beautiful mountain hide-away in the Deep Creek / Bryson City area. We love the hike all around the property - it's amazing in itself - but also very easy to get to 'the road to nowhere', the Great Smokey Mountain National Park is basically connected to the property, it's so close! If you want to get away from the city / noise of urban areas, this is for you! Large, open home with two full baths, so great for a family (and our pups love it here, too)!!

wonderful opportunity and location. Spacious and lovely.

Our stay at this beautiful A-frame home was absolutely perfect! The home is full of charm with lovely and comfortable furnishings, and the spacious deck offers breathtaking views—we spent hours just soaking it all in. Inside, everything was thoughtfully arranged, and we loved having both a guitar and keyboard to play during our downtime. The kitchen was fully equipped, which made cooking a breeze. It truly felt like a peaceful retreat. We can't wait to come back!

This home is furnished beautifully, and the updated kitchen is fantastic. The views are so peaceful and relaxing. We enjoyed the sitting/cooking area outside. We plan to stay here again when in the area. This Airbnb is highly recommended. You will not be disappointed!

The place is even nicer than the pictures. It's a beautiful retreat in the woods with lots of natural light. There are plenty of places inside and out to enjoy being alone or gathering with family and friends. It's kept very clean, well stocked with everything you need to cook and lots of linens and towels. The multiple fans and a/c make it comfortable on hot days. The walk down to the fire pit or the man cave by the creek is steep, but not difficult. You can drive up and down easily as well. It's only a few minutes from so many things to do. But if you sit on the screened in porch and watch the hawks and the cows grazing across the road, It's hard to want to leave. It's perfect for couples wanting privacy or families with children that need plenty of space to play in. What a true gem!

It was so cute bigger than expected super clean and homey

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

We have stayed here multiple times and it is always perfect! We love the location, too!

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.

Great hosts! The View Studio has everything you need! Comfy bed!

We prefer more modern amenities to rustic cabins, and Gloria's condo fit the bill for us. Gloria was very concerned when we had a couple of issues, and quick to ask us to let her know about anything we had problems with. She even followed up with us after check out! We prefer to stay in Townsend near the park, and this condo had quick access to the highway that leads to the area of the park we most enjoy visiting...Cade's Cove. The kitchen was very well stocked. We cooked a lot of meals in the condo - including the cookie mix that our host most thoughtfully left for us!

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.

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!

Would stay again!

We love this beautiful area and we will be back as soon as we can. We love the condos and would love to buy a place up in this community soon. It is always perfect. We extended our stay by 2 days. Thank you for having us stay on your place!! Todd and Lisa Schofield

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful condo! It was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The location was great, and Kylie was welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommend and would love to stay again!

We had such an amazing time staying at Moonshiner’s Den! The condo was super convenient to everything we wanted to do, but still felt nice and secluded it was the perfect peaceful getaway. The host was absolutely outstanding! They seriously bent over backwards to make sure we had everything we needed and made the whole experience so easy and comfortable. You can really tell they care about their guests. If you’re looking for a cozy, private spot in Townsend with an awesome host, this is the place. We can’t wait to come back!

Jeanine was a fantastic host and the condo was perfect our weekend getaway. It was well stocked, clean, beautiful, and convenient to restaurants, the mountains, and, all the things we wanted to do! We didn’t get to use the pool or sit by the fire pit due to rain, but we had great time anyway. I would stay again. :)

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 our 2nd time staying at Shane's condo in Townsend. The condo is in Immaculate condition. You have all the luxury of home, in a very peaceful, gated community. You are just a short distance to Cades Cove, which we love to watch the sunsets from. You have several local eateries as well as Wears Valley close by. We will definitely be back soon!

100% recommend. Location is beautiful and quiet with quick access the Smokies. The Airbnb was very clean and comfortable. We can’t wait to come back!
