Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Santeetlah Lake

Great, spacious and quiet home! Would stay 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 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.

This air b n b was absolutely perfect! The house and property were beautiful! The hot tub was soo warm. We enjoyed the fire pit. The location was perfect for us. Our kids really enjoyed all of the games provided! We would definitely like to book here again in the future.

wonderful opportunity and location. Spacious and lovely.

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.

This is our second time staying here for new years and it was great as usual. It is very peaceful at this property. Very clean and perfect for our group size. We would stay again.

I could not have been more please with Carmela's place. Our girl's trip went great and the location was perfect for us. We felt comfortable at at home right away. There were so many thoughtful and practical touches around the property. We were close to everything while still feeling we had privacy and distance. So, glad we found this place and would love to stay again!

Beautiful, homey, and walkable to ALL the Highlands have to offer. Perfect stay!

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

This little place in the mountains is so cute!!!’ It was very clean and looked just like the pictures. The hot tub was great after hikes. It was close to everything and had everything we needed!!

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

Great place close to the Nantahala trailheads. We were there to do some hiking. Check-in was seamless. The apt was comfortable and perfect for our weekend.

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.

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.

Got away for a night to celebrate our Anniversary, never been to Murphy. This lil home was absolutely charming. The owners did a beautiful job restoring this home. It was within walking distance to a lot of shops and restaurants. The farmers market was right next door as well as the riverwalk. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to family and friends.

The condo was comfortable and within walking distance to downtown Gatlinburg but tucked away in a quiet area. Luggage carts are available making transporting all your stuff upstairs a breeze. Bears are in the area so be aware. Great views from the balcony and easy access to GSM. Don’t forget your coffee.

This trip was amazing! Chucks place was great, the location is outstanding right on the river with a short walk to downtown

Great place to stay. Centrally located to lots of great restaurants, attractions and grocery stores. Loved sitting out back listening to the birds and the creek below. Very private and peaceful. Super clean with lots of extra nice touches. Check out Anakeesta, beautiful park and incredible Mountain views.

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!

The condo was very comfortable and clean. Quiet area. Lovely views. The beds were comfortable. Overall we had a great stay.

This was a great place for my wife and I to stay for our short weekend visit. We loved how close everything was to walk to downtown and it was very easy for us to drive in and out of the unit. I would recommend to anyone that this was a great place to stay and we would definitely stay again.

We only took the car out to drive through the mountains and to ride to Pigeon Forge. It was great not having to find a parking spot in such a busy area. This condo was perfect for the two of us even though there was a sleeper sofa for a third person if needed. This condo was very clean and an easy walk to main street Gatlinburg even for us senior citizens ☺️. We had a great time and would highly recommend this one! We hope to come back.

Excellent! We love staying here. Beautiful condo. Very close to town, yet set in a private, peaceful setting. The back patio is huge, covered, and overlooking a mountain stream. Listening to the water rush by is great. Overall excellent place and haste free.
