Kid-friendly holiday rentals in French Broad River

We had a wonderful stay at this “Slow Pace” Airbnb with our children and two dogs! The home was comfortable and inviting, with a fantastic backyard that we all enjoyed. The living room was perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring, and the location couldn’t have been better—we loved being able to walk downtown and appreciated the easy access to Montreat. Another great perk was the nearby mom-and-pop convenience store, where we could easily pick up extra drinks and snacks. It was close enough that the kids could even walk over by themselves, which was a nice bonus! The hosts were thoughtful in every detail, from providing plenty of coffee for our entire stay to the extra special touch of a bottle of wine waiting for us on our first night. We would absolutely stay here again!

We loved our first visit at this part of TN and Lindsay’s place was the perfect location. The home was nice and comfortable. We had everything we needed for our short stay, but definitely a good set up for anyone looking for long term stays. The neighborhood was in a nice and quiet street. The house is in a good location for stores, gas stations, and a short drive to downtown Knoxville. The drive to Gatlinburg wasn’t bad at all, especially with stops at other cute little towns along the way. Lindsay was a very sweet and great host! Her communication was great! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

This was my first trip with my 7 kids and I’d say it was well worth it! Wish I would have known that there was so much to do with out having to drive 2 hours to charlotte North Carolina! But it was definitely lit! Hot tub my kids loved it game room! Patio we even saw the snake climbed mountains veiws were everything clean and kitchen utensils I thought I would need to bring some we had everything in the kitchen except foil lol and ed was definitely very helpful and responsive! Always answering my questions really quick! Thank you for this beautiful experience and reasonable! Loved our first vacation! I’m hoping we get to come back!

Family and I really enjoyed ourselves, like a home away from home! The house had everything we needed and was as described. Erin took the time to hand deliver bread, eggs, and butter…that was awesome. Close to downtown and amazing day hike adventures. Definitely would stay here again next time!!

We enjoyed our short stay, it was exactly what we needed. Mary Sue was more than accommodating and helpful.

Great stay! Place was exactly as pictured, hosts were responsive, helpful and friendly! Would stay again.

Jo’s place was just as described. She was super responsive to a couple of questions we had. Very quiet neighborhood. Would definitely come back.

We were extremely happy with the property. Property exceeded my expectations. Kitchen was the heart the property, Master bedroom and bathroom were extremely spacious. Downstairs is a hidden treasure. Lots of games and toys for the family to play. Will highly recommend!!! Will definitely return.

This place is cozy, clean, and comfortable. Plenty of space for my wife, toddler son, and small dog. We enjoyed our weekend here and would definitely stay again when we visit Asheville next time.

Gabrielle and Eric were incredible hosts even in really difficult circumstances. During our stay hurricane Helene hit NC and there was a lot of flooding and trees falling. As with a lot of NC the water, power and cell service went out but Gabrielle went above and beyond to make sure that we had food and water and light. The entire area was affected including their own home but they still checked in with us and kept us updated on what they heard about the situation and had the culvert to the cabin rebuilt on the same day. Aside from the events the airbnb was lovely. It’s modern inside with sizeable rooms and more than enough space for the three of us. It was clean and warm and well stocked. We had our toddler with us and she had a great time with the toy box provided. We also really appreciated the high chair and children’s cutlery/crockery provided.

The house was perfect for our quick weeeknd trip and charming as pictured. April sent us clear instructions on exactly how to get to the entrance and where to park. Perfect location and plenty of options to enjoy the area. We will be sure to look for availability here for our next trip to Asheville!

Ms Cheryl is as friendly as they come she made us feel like we were home she greeted us when we got there and showed us around everything was was perfect Boonies restaurant is right next door at Davis marina and that’s all you need we will definitely plan another trip for stripers again thank you and take care

Our family enjoyed this stay. Cute place, animals to visit and farm fresh eggs! No television but all the better to disconnect. Everything we needed plus some. The sauna was an amazing added bonus for the adults. So many homey touches and extras too. We hope to come back!

This was perfect for quick weekend trip as a single female. The apartment itself is much bigger than the pictures make it appear. It's spacious, well-kept, and beautifully decorated. The furniture is a little dated, but it's very comfortable and enjoyable. Super soft bed, many places have really uncomfortable mattresses, that's not the case here. I did not want to get out of bed. Super walkable to everything I wanted/needed to do and I felt safe even venturing out at night. My only recommendation would be to update the outdoor furniture on the balcony.

Incredibly clean place to stay and very responsive host. I would absolutely stay here again. Not a far drive from nearby activities but just far enough to appreciate the peaceful location.

I’ll keep it short. It’s like the descriptions and comments from the hosts and visitors. Two things that I can mention and add to the informations (even if they might sound negative, I was fully satisfied with my stay, just want to complete the picture) 1) there is a fire station close by so that firefighters with their cars are passing by regularly (simetimes with sirens) - even if this sounds bad, as the appartment is set back from the street, it did not impact me very much 2) and this is related to that I decided to not use a car, the place is 45 min by foot away from downtown and groceries are also not really able to reach by foot. The appartment is located in a rather quiet area, but some really good food spots and breweries are 5-7min away by foot. Should be aware of it I would book it again!

I have no words to describe what an amazing host Laura is—by far one of the best hosts I’ve ever had across all the properties I’ve stayed at. Her place is super cozy, well-equipped, clean, and organized. It’s also really close to all the key spots. The beds are super comfortable, and she was always attentive and thoughtful, making sure we had everything we needed for an amazing vacation. Can’t wait to come back soon!

This was our first ever stay at an airbnb, though we are hosts, ourselves. It didn’t disappoint, as the space is really nice with comfortable furniture. Sadly, those awesome looking recliners were not working at the moment, but are probably fixed by now. The children with us loved the pool! Everything was just as shown in the photos! April was an awesome host, accommodating some special requests we had.

Easy process, great location near everything, and lovely, large space. Fit our family of 4 perfectly. Would definitely stay again!

The condo was great for our little getaway. My kids loved that the bunk beds were tucked away in the wall. Everything was clean. I love the shower in the master bath. I told my husband he needs to renovate our bathroom at home now

Whitney & Jay were great hosts—responsive and helpful when we had questions. The space was just as shown/described in the listing. My family of four enjoyed our stay during spring break and our first time skiing during Sugar Mountain’s end-of-season March Madness. We made such wonderful memories here. Be sure to enjoy the most stunning sunrises and sunsets from the balcony.

We'll be back next year! Really great! Came in late at night but lights were on welcoming us. Absolutely perfectly clean, including the condo exterior. The kitchen was the most equipped I've ever seen. We could have prepared a Thanksgiving meal (including a mash potato masher). Really quiet, spacious and absolutely clean. Loved all the bear decorations and feeding the ducks & geese outside by the river. Thank you!

We enjoyed our stayed for Valentine’s Day. The host was very responsive.

James’ place was great, we felt very at home. He is very responsive.
