Family-friendly holiday rentals in Lake of the Woods

This place was wonderful. The screened-in porch was perfect and and so nice to sit in.

Great spot for our family of six. Plenty of space for the kids and dogs to roam. After hiking the hot tub was a big hit. Easy access to SNP and caverns. River access lot was great for fishing but there was an experience with a neighbor. Be mindful of the white posts that are near the sign on the river lot for fox creek lodge. The posts don’t go all the way to the water but those posts denote separate property although there is no sign saying so. When my son was fishing three feet inside that on the rocks in the water, the very vocal neighbor came down to the road and threatened to call the cops on us and yelled pretty aggressively as he continued to walk towards us. It seemed like a strange escalation on his part when we immediately got my son on the other side of the post as soon as he yelled that it was private property. Just a note of caution, as we didn’t go down to the river after that because the guy left us feeling a little unsettled. No fault on this Airbnb at all.

We had a really nice time at the cabin. Everything was laid out very nicely and was ready for us the moment we arrived. The space is beautiful and right on the lake. It was extremely peaceful to sit in the large screened deck and hang out with the stunning lake in view. Hope to stay here again some day!

This stay was amazing! What an absolutely scenic and serene location with views of and access to Shenandoah National Park. This was the perfect place for the misty weather and lower temps! It really is as described. We will certainly consider coming back if we are ever in the area again!

Connie's Rock Cottage was amazing! much thought was put into this cottage. Firewood and fire starter for the wood stove on chilly nights, robes we used for getting to and from the private hot tub just steps outside the back door,map of entire 550 acres of land including the wonderful paved walkway which meanders through the property. This was the mosr exceptionally prepared kitchen we have seen in out travels. Tons of utensils, a full set of potsand pans, dish towels, trivets, cutting boards and cooking sheets! We love to cook together when we travel and this kitchen was big enough for 2! We got some amazing pictures all over the farm. The lack of light pollution allowed us to enjoy the stars and Pink Full Moon in all their glory! We will be back to enjoy this cottage again!

First of all, Kate is a fantastic hostess. She was very accommodating, welcoming and communicative. I greatly appreciated her hospitality. The property is gorgeous and peaceful. It is like a peaceful spa oasis home away from home. You can find comfort in every room. The hot tub is glorious to soak in while staring at the nighttime sky or for watching the sunset. There is practically no light or noise pollution. You can hear the creek down the hill flowing. Most of your neighbors are cows grazing in a field down the drive or an adorable family of foxes on the property. It is a perfect spot to just get away, relax and enjoy a natural setting tucked away in a hillside. Kate has mindfully ensured guests have almost anything you may need to prepare meals in the kitchen. Also plenty of towels and linens. You are about a 15-20 minute drive away from everything C-Ville has to offer. Perfect distance to have access to all you may need and to have peace and quiet. Truly a wonderful spot.

Great stay! We were in town for a wedding at Morais Vineyards and it was a perfect spot for our old high school group to be able to all stay together for the festivities!!

Been using yall for ten years. Won’t book a cabin stay with anyone else! Tranquil, peaceful, & gorgeous.

My wife and I loved this spot! It was private, peaceful, and located close to several good hiking trails, restaurants, and wineries. Not to mention, only about 20 mins from downtown Charlottesville. There was a guestbook that provided ideas on things to do and places to see, but on top of this— Lynn also chimed in and provided specific places we could visit with our dog. We definitely recommend staying with Lynn, and will for sure we back!

We fell asleep to the sound of the creek on the property and enjoyed sitting by the camp fire several nights. Dark skies made for great stargazing. While we spent most of our time away from the house during the day hiking and looking at beautiful overlooks, we slept well in comfortable beds and watched a few of the DVDs that were available in the evening. I’d definitely stay here again.

Couldn’t have asked for a better place for a girls weekend! The view was better than the photos, peaceful and comfortable!! I HIGHLY recommend this place!

We had a great retreat at John’s place. The farm was just the spot for a quiet weekend outside the city. John was a great host, thoughtful and responsive.

Very much enjoyed a short but sweet stay in this cabin! Appreciated the little touches including both fireplaces being set up for use upon arrival & maps of the area being laid out on the kitchen island. This quiet, pet-friendly Airbnb was a great escape for the weekend. Thank you for having us 🙂

We loved staying at the cottage!! It is so cute and spacious inside, and everything was super clean. We felt right at home, and Ray was very responsive! We would love to stay here again- we highly recommend the cottage!

Plenty of room for me and dog... Straight forward, basic, clean and comfortable ! 👍 Host was accommodating and very responsive and available!

Lovely attached studio, comfortable bed, nice linens. Good WiFi. Easy location. We’d stay again if traveling to Charlottesville.

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful property on Lake Anna. We had 4 young children and 3 adults for our trip. We had plenty of space in the home, and the beach area was perfect for our children to swim. In addition to swimming off the beach, we enjoyed boating, tubing, kayaking, and paddle boarding. It was so nice to have kayaks and paddle boards included on the property. When we weren’t outside we spent a lot of time on the screened-in porch. Evenings were spent down on the dock with a drink watching the sun go down on comfortable chairs. We enjoyed exploring the surrounding area as well. We ate at four different restaurants. Had no problem stocking up groceries at Food Lion and grabbing a few things when needed from Dollar General. The surrounding wildlife was big plus. We saw some cool birds and saw deer going across the property at dusk. It was our first trip to Lake Anna but won’t be our last.

We loved using the pool and the patio/grill area. The view and the landscaping are beautiful. The owner was helpful and responsive; she supplied firewood and charcoal. Plenty of dining space both indoors and out. Good A/C.

Beautiful place! We had a lovely and peaceful stay :)

Great host, gorgeous views, and a quaint old home with history. Queen bed was very comfy and ac worked great! Host greeted us, answered any questions we had, provided local recommendations for our anniversary, and had even more amenities than we expected upon arrival. Would definitely come back if in the area again! My dogs loved the farm.

Thank you so much for the great stay! We enjoyed the area and were able to relax at your place.

My fiancé and I had an amazing weekend at cabin moonshine. It was exactly what we wanted for the weekend and our pups had a great time too. The view is phenomenal from the driveway to the porch to the hot tub, you can't miss the mountains. Cannot wait for our next stay!

Marco was a great host! He was friendly and quick to respond. The home is amazing, beautifully furnished. I'd definitely stay again! Thank you Marco!

This is just someone opening their home, it is someone who loves to host; and it shows! Not only was the view incredible but the place felt like a home. From the little details (the “I forgot it at home” box, plenty of pool and bathroom towels, shampoo/conditioner/bodywash, having freshly ground coffee/sugar/sweetener, having spices and any kitchen utensils you could need, and even a heart keychain on the door and my name on the chalkboard). The bed was so comfortable and the shower pressure was amazing. The pool was great (although the weather was a little too cold for us to enjoy it fully)! The ceiling upstairs on one side of the bed was a little low but it was fine and worth it for a king bed. Every uber driver we had didn’t mind waiting for us as he just looked at the view. Would definitely stay here again!
