Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Santeetlah Lake

What a gem! Great location, beautiful home, amazing view and very responsive and informed host. I am a professional events planner and everything about this rental went beyond what I expected. With Robin's help I was able to host an amazing birthday weekend with friends. We will definitely be back for a reunion.

Very private location. Peaceful getaway. Not so far from town that running to the grocery is a chore, nor too far from great hikes. Our medium sized dog enjoyed the fenced in yard and we all sunbathed on the deck. Will stay again!

We had the best weekend at the cottage. Easy, quick drive to downtown highlands. Some highlights - The pizza oven was great for making pizzas, grill was fantastic for grilling steaks, fire pit for s’mores and the Hot tub was used several times. The kids loved the bunk room. The house was beautifully decorated and we felt right at home. We hope to be back soon!

Had a great stay here with 3 of my motorcycle buddies. Place was perfect for what we needed, was as described in listing/photos and would absolutely stay here again!

Joan's place had everything! I've stayed at over 65 Airbnbs and this was definitely in the top 3. if you have the luck of finding it's available, just book it!

There are 2 beautiful houses on the property which work perfectly for traveling with extended family and friends or for rental of only one of the houses. The houses are new and thoughtfully designed for family living and relaxation inside and out - the decks are huge and make perfect extensions of the living space! Children of any age would love the place and the back entrances of the houses are accessible for people with limited mobility. Our toddlers loved the creek running through the property and the waterfall and fire pit areas are marvelous. The kitchens were wonderfully stocked with dishes and cooking pots and pans - even an air fryer! There was an old style arcade video game mounted to the wall in both houses - fun! We made day trips to the mountains and enjoyed family dinners on the porches. This is the perfect vacation spot and we will definitely be sharing the location with others and coming back ourselves! Thank you for sharing your hospitality and wonderful place with us!

Will be coming back to this space!! So beautiful, every detail and amenity was available and thought through. Felt right at home & was able to bring the pups! We forgot a water bowl & Lindsey had one ready for us when we got there with plenty of paw towels and doggie bags!! Also, expect a pretty steep driveway! We have a 4-WD and AWD vehicle and had little to no problems. Thank you to Lindsey for offering this amazing space !

Nick is an absolutely wonderful host, and the house is just beyond incredible. The view is AMAZING, and you can see the attention to detail all over the home as well. The smore kit and fire starters were so thoughtful too! Thank you Nick for an incredible stay and a wonderful menory 🙏 I will most definitely be back. The sunset is a must see as well from the deck!!!!

Don was so helpful and kind. He and Renie truly go more than above and beyond! The apartment was lovely with an incredible view. It was extremely clean and well stocked. It felt private and peaceful the entire time. The hot tub was very relaxing, and loved the spacious shower as well. The beds were so comfortable. We appreciated our parting gift and assistance with our luggage. We cannot wait until next time!

Perfect on the river location! Comfortable bed! Best potato salad ever!

Kela was amazing. Responsive, helpful, accommodating, just an absolutely fantastic experience. The place is huge, clean, and literally across the street from everything downtown. This is a can't miss experience if you're going to Bryson City.

This is at least my 3rd time visiting David's place. Amazingly peaceful, comfortable, restful spot. I knew I would get the peace I needed. You would never know they are upstairs, unless you wanted to chat. This is a mountainside gem.

What a great place to stay in Bryson City. MooseLodge was an exceptional place and our family loved staying there for three nights in June. The kids were sad to go! Sean has made sure that the place has so many thoughtful things left in it, and the bathroom is like a spa experience with included sauna. The place is just outside the main town, but only a 2-3 min drive away; lovely and quiet. It's also very close to DeepCreek which is super for hiking and tubing down the river.

We got a chance to speak with Lisa as she was unloading groceries when we arrived. She was incredibly sweet, welcoming, and hospitable!! Her place was beautiful, clean, and had an amazing view! We would recommend her and her place to anyone! 100% worth the money- we LOVED our night here!!

Great value, and the deep creek entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is literally 5 minutes away. We went there every morning, and we never hiked the same route once. Very cool.

We really enjoyed the area. We walked along the River Walk- you should pack your bug spray though! We decided to exit the River Walk and finish up through town since we didn't pack our bug spray. The town had some neat restaurants we would like to go back and try. The antique store was fun to explore. It was a convenient location for our visit to the John C. Campbell Folk School.

Gary's place was so quiet and peaceful. we enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching the golfers come through. Would definitely stay here again.

The condo was perfect for my husband and I. He played golf, I hiked. Close to restaurants in town! The condo was beautifully designed and clean.

This Young Harris condo was a great stay for our family while participating in a wedding that was at the Brasstown Valley Resort a few minutes away (nice golf course there too). This condo was a perfect home base for us and we loved the large deck, the lake and mountain views and the proximity to the resort and other sites around Young Harris and Hiawassee, like the Crane Creek Winery and Bell Mountain Park (VERY steep drive not for every car or driver, but spectacular views ... we even saw a bald eagle). Amy and Kyle were great communicators and had very good suggestions. The kitchen was particularly well stocked and had everything we needed. We would definitely stay again and would love to explore the area more. I will note that the 4th bedroom, which is well described in the listing, really is more of a sun room, but would be a perfect "bedroom" for 1 or 2 children. We did not use the room, but the window views of the lake and mountains in it are the best in the condo.

The house is very clean, and beds are comfy . Location is quite good for a stay at Townsend

Great location, nice condo with comfy bedding, which is hard to find! Communication was awesome; anytime we had a question, got a quick response! We definitely recommend:)

Great condo! Very spacious and king bed was comfy! The views are amazing from the back deck and we enjoyed the sunrise with coffee each morning and watching golfers on the 15th hole below in the afternoon. We came for a quick getaway looking for peace and quiet and that’s just what we found! We easily could have stayed longer with the well appointed kitchen and cooked meals. You are 10-15 minutes from Bryson City or maybe 20-30 to Sylva for restaurants and options are limited but you’ll find what you need including a few fast food and grocery stores. You should note that the roads within the country club are narrow and very steep and curvy in spots. Well maintained paved and wide enough for two cars in most places but the steep grade and switchbacks can be tricky especially if coming in the first time at night. The views are worth the steep drive and setting is so peaceful!

This home has everything you need plus more. The decor was fantastic! Cleanliness was top notch. Jeanine also left complimentary snacks and coffee. Such a nice touch! We came in for Father’s Day and my Dad came over and we had plenty of room to hang out inside and outside. We went to Dancing Bear Lodge for dinner which is only 2 miles down the road and it was phenomenal! Great home, great location, great hospitality! I highly recommend! Thank you Jeanine!

We enjoyed staying at Cades Cove condo #250. Liked the amenities, location, and paved walking path access. Shelia was very responsive to questions and communications. Would stay here again.
