Family-friendly vacation rentals in Johnson County

Location, location, location!! This cabin had a beautiful view. It was very peaceful and private with easy access. It had a homey feel inside. It was clean and appliances were in working order. Ac/heater were working great! We had some snow furries and freezing rain during our stay but this was the perfect place to wait it out. 15 min from Boone! Close to shopping and great restaurants. Had a great time!

The house was amazing! Extremely clean and a well organized process.

The most incredible venue!!! Every detail is well thought out to make guests comfortable. The setting is impossible to describe in words and photos. Its so special.

Beautiful cabin, responsive host, games on site that we loved, great fireplace, kitchen very well equipped w/ spices etc. Bathroom is sparse, two rolls of tp and no shampoo/conditioner. Roads were totally impassable so we had to cut our trip short and only stayed one of the two nights we booked. We thought 4WD would be enough, but your really need chains if there's anything on the road; the neighborhood isn't plowed or salted at all. Host did recommend both 4wd and chains.

Great place to stay, we had a lot of fun here and close to a lot of attractions.

The place and location are picturesque and awesome! The facilities are exactly as shown and maintained very well. Definitely worth revisiting!

Can’t say enough on how satisfied we were with Wendy’s home. We originally booked another home for our 13th anniversary but noticed a rodent/bug infestation. We contacted Wendy & 1 other company late in the evening scrambling to find somewhere else last minute. The other company denied our request due to no staffing after 5pm, but Wendy responded & accepted our request with no hassle. She was very kind, helpful & prompt in communicating. As soon as we opened the door we were so relieved to find the home not only beautiful but spotlessly CLEAN. Her home is charming, fully equipped kitchen w/modern appliances, plenty of towels and blankets, cozy, & one of the cleanest we’ve stayed in. The hot tub on the back porch had beautiful views, was big, clean & relaxing. It is at the top of this particular mountain in Vilas, & the views in winter were amazing. We loved using the wood burning fire place, appreciated the smart TV, & allowing our pups! Thank you to Wendy for saving our weekend!

This airbnb was perfect. Amazing view and such cute furniture. The hot tub was up and running ready for use which was perfect. We had such a great time and very close to either Beech or Sugar to go snowboarding.

4 Adults and 4 children traveled from MI to stay at The Shady House. Traditionally we have to stayed with family. This was so much better. The Shady House was a great size to entertain our family who came to visit us. We brought the food, the kitchen had the cookware needed to prepare meals. Great time, Cranberry Festival was fun, and hosting family was a blessing. Thank You Kate

We love staying here! The kitchen is well stocked with all you need to cook at the cabin. Our granddaughters love the giant tub. The remote location is peaceful. My husband and I enjoy sitting on the porch swing together. We will most definitely be back!

We had a great time at this quiet area of the lake. Easy access to the water was nice and the house was comfortable for our family.

Really enjoyed our weekend getaway! Cabin was beautiful, hot tub worked perfectly, and the quiet escape was wonderful for relaxing and celebrating our anniversary. Upstairs outdoor patio was really peaceful as you’re practically sitting in the trees. The keypad was a little tricky to get turned on/activated for code entry, at first, but was easy to use each entry thereafter. Just gently rest your hand on the keypad and it “wakes up” quickly. Would happily stay here again in the future!

Very comfortable lots of space very relaxing would love to stay again

Me and my two daughters really enjoyed a weekend getaway. They felt like they were in a treehouse sleeping in the big bed. The convenience of everything the ski lift in the backyard overall amenities were awesome and the memories are unplaceable. Thank you so much, Avery.

Kayla’s place was perfect for our stay. We found everything as described and we felt right at home.

We had the best time at Nicole’s place. The condo is very spacious, extremely clean, peaceful, and has beautiful views. We loved hanging out on the porch and winding down inside by the fireplace. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook. We took advantage of the playground and indoor pool located on the resort. The location is super close to Main Street and right by the blue ridge parkway for many hikes. Nicole is super responsive for any questions. We will be back!

What a great place! Also the host was very kind and great communication! Very nice place and only 10 minutes from Sugar Mountain. Wonderful amenities including pool, hot tub, sauna, library, shop, workout room etc etc. Only (potential) issue which is no fault of the owners is that this is a large 10 story condo complex. On busy days, especially around the weekend it can get very busy during check in and check out and you have to park outside of the guard shack and get shuttled back to the condo. Again, we didn’t really have much of a hang up but others did-just something to keep in mind. Fantastic place, and well equipped! Thank you again!

Loved this cozy cabin! Easy walk to the ski resort, & coffee shop. Perfect size for our family of 3 adults and our fur baby. Cabin was super close to the ski resort and centrally located to every restaurant, coffee shop & store we had on our bucket list to visit in Beech Mountain. . The view & sound of the creek was an added bonus . The gated wrap around deck / porch was my fav part of the cabin. Check in was a breeze and hosts were super detailed with directions & instructions . Hosts had super clear communication and gave fantastic local recommendations. 10 out of 10 recommend & hoping to book again for next year’s trip!

We had a great stay at Brenda's place! She accurately described the place, communicated positively, and was very helpful. We would absolutely stay here again!

This place was perfect for a weekend cabin trip. Exactly what we were looking for when planning a quiet mountain weekend!
