Family-friendly vacation rentals in Appalachian Mountains

Took a little getaway with the lady and dog and this place was perfect. It’s easy to get to yet feels secluded, walking to Lake Michigan from there is very conventional, the amenities are great, having an indoor and outdoor fire option is clutch given we can’t control the weather, and the hot tub was perfect for winding down. Would absolutely recommend this place for a nice relaxing getaway

617 - 619 We had a very good time here! The bed was very comfy even though the tv was on one Channel lol. The jacuzzi was Very nice and relaxing. We reccomend going to the tuskasegee animal Farm and petting zoo. super cute goats and Sheep especially Lola!

My partner and I had a wonderful and peaceful stay! The schoolhouse is very cozy, with beautiful views, and the baby sheep were adorable and so fun to watch. Caroline was very responsive and kind! I’d recommend their place to anyone in a heartbeat.

Oh my, if you’re looking for a peaceful, secluded stay, you’re in for a treat! The noise of the world was quieted in this pristine location, surrounded by rolling hills, pastures, a big open sky, and farm animals. Don’t expect to find much to do in the area, this is simply a retreat, away from the busyness of life. My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay here, particularly the quiet mornings on the porch overlooking the beauty and the evenings in the hot tub watching stars and being surrounded by almost complete darkness. We had a lovely chat with Kevin the first morning that we were there - he is very authentic, kind, thoughtful, and comfortable. We wouldn’t hesitate returning to this gem!

My 3 friends and I stayed in this property for 3 nights when on a golf trip to Indiana north of Louisville. The property was immaculate, very clean and well appointed. There was plenty of dish ware, silverware and cooking utensils. Bedrooms were also in great condition and very clean. There were more than enough available activities (games, DVD’s, ping pong, etc.) to keep a family entertained for several weeks. An amazing deck with a gas fire pit and a hot tub overlooking a wooded area with a stream was very peaceful and relaxing. There were detailed instructions for using all the available amenities, including the TV and cable (which we didn’t find until the day we left which was our bad). There were even golf tees sitting out with a note to enjoy our golf trip. I could not imagine a better place to stay or a more welcoming host. THANK YOU

It was a cozy place, felt safe and secure there. I would definitely recommend it to a couple!!

Drove through the night from Chicago, let’s just say I’m glad we arrived in the morning with daylight. This cabin is definitely a cabin in the mountains. Great view, great spot to get away. The roads getting in definitely will get your blood pumping, and your motor reving. But once you arrive, it is all worth it. David did a wonderful job with all the directions and also his accommodations. From booking to enjoying, it was great. Thank you!!!

If you are looking for some peace and quiet, this is the place to go. Very private, comfy beds, stores are close and attractions are just a drive away. John and Jenni were quick to respond if I had a question!

What an incredible and peaceful property. The weather was a bit cold for this time of year, but the incredible views from within the cabin and cozy sofa made for awesome days of quiet and relaxation. The grocery store is so close (a few minutes drive) while the property still feels completely private, which was so nice for quick stock ups at the store without feeling like you had fully re-emerged into society. Beds were comfy as well. Would love to come back in the summer time in order to spend more time down by and in the water, but no matter the time of year I have no doubt you will love this place if peace, quiet, and time in nature to recharge is your goal (or as a “home base” for other adventures). Thanks to Russ and Jade for sharing a truly magical place.

We loved the place! It was soooo peaceful! My wife and I enjoyed sitting on the deck in the morning drinking coffee and watching the boats go by. This was our first time in Kenosha and we wished we had booked a few more days to explore more! Sue was awesome and very responsive to any questions we had about the area

Really beautiful place with lots of character! So peaceful and amazing views!! We loved it. :). Thanks Julie!

We absolutely loved this little cabin in the woods. Beautiful and peaceful stay for us and our fur family

We loved our time here. So peaceful and serene. The cabin was spotless clean and full of charm. A great place to unplug, unwind and be grateful.

The place was very clean and there was a beautiful mineral pond!

It rained 4 of the 6 days we were here so spent a lot of extra time in the house and loved our experience. The area is beautiful, but what we most appreciated was the extras she had in the house. When travelling it is hard to pack the extra niceties, but there we lots of extras like bug spray, Band-Aids, books, puzzles, access to premium streaming channels, umbrella.

We loved our 1 night stay! The lake was gorgeous, the lodge was cozy, and the bed was comfy. We played cards in front of the fireplace in the evening time, beautiful fireplace! Got pizza at Tony’s and brought it back for dinner. We can also recommend the Thai restaurant called “Little Peppers” that’s in town. We caught 30 fish in 2.5 hours with a rooster tail lure. Bass, bluegill, and crappie. Biggest one we caught was over a 12” long. Fished between 4:30-6:30pm and then the following morning between 8:30-9:30am. Fish were biting like crazy at all times! We fished from the dock and also from different spots on shore as we walked to all the accessible spots of the lake. Outside showers were awesome! Other wildlife we spotted were: 15 Canadian Geese hanging out on the pond, 3 heron (2 blue/1 white), 2 deer, and a groundhog! The deck, outside seating, and planted foliage and flowers were so beautiful. The view is incredible. The host is super sweet and so helpful ❤️

Arriving at this Janice and Tom’s cabin, our jaws were on the floor. The cabin itself is gorgeous, surrounded by nature and with a wrap around porch to enjoy the sounds of the river and watch fireflies light up at dusk. The pool and pool house are where we spent most of our time. With lounge chairs, a fridge for snacks and drinks and views of the pond and forest, it was a great place to spend our days and cool off. Janice and Tom were communicative, helpful and kind! We absolutely loved our stay and highly recommend to those looking for a break from the hustle and bustle. It was an incredible place to reconnect with friends and with nature. Thank you so much Janice and Tom!!

The house met all expectations everything is stylishly done, and the host is incredibly responsive and helpful 🤍

Julia and Joe were wonderful hosts for our Memorial Day weekend getaway! My husband, our dog, and I had such a relaxing time at their beautiful property. We loved spending evenings by the pool and grilling out - it felt like a true home away from home. The grounds were perfect for our pup to explore and play. Julia and Joe were incredibly welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. We can’t wait to come back!

this place is SO pretty. we went for our honeymoon and do not regret it. The bed was super comfy, so many outdoor games like cornhole and connect four and they have a really pretty stock tank pool. It rained while we were there and the rain on the tin roof was heavenly. We opened the barn doors and watched it rain. The AC was super cold (which WE LOVED) And the hosts were SO kind. the mini horses and donkeys were so cute and we loved feeding them. We will definitely be going back. if you're looking for a getaway, this is THE ONE. The hosts answer so fast and go out of their way to make sure you're comfortable. We very highly recommend this place. It's a little piece of heaven. The stars were so pretty at night.

We recently stayed at Tina's and had a great time. The location is secluded, incredibly peaceful and quiet — all you can hear are the birds in the morning. The home itself is clean and looks just like the photos. We also loved that we could bring our dog along with us. We live in the city so our pup doesn't get to touch much grass, and he had a blast running through the fenced-in yard. Although we originally booked because the house has a pool and we were hoping for good weather, it rained almost the entire time we were there... Nonetheless, it felt like the coziest home for a rainy weekend, and we really enjoyed our stay. We loved sitting inside by the fire to watch a movie, cooking in the kitchen and building a fire outside when the rain stopped. The location was also great for driving into Rhinebeck, Red Hook, Hudson and surrounding breweries and wineries.

We loved this place! It was absolutely beautiful inside and out. It was our first time staying with a host on site so I was nervous at first.. but they made us feel right at home and gave us plenty of privacy and space. Would definitely recommend and would love to go back and stay longer. My favorite part was the animals!

Everything felt super cozy and peaceful. We just stayed for a night to get away from all the hustle and bustle and Nicole’s peaceful cabin was just what we needed. Everything we might’ve needed was there, she responded extremely quickly every time, and we couldn’t have asked for a more pleasant experience. Would book again for a much longer stay.

We had a wonderful two day stay at Roger and Amy’s place. It was fantastic- such a beautiful, inviting home. Our kids had a blast in the heated pool- we could barely get them to come out despite it being under 60 degrees out! The kitchen was stocked with more than just kitchen basics- the spice cabinet had soo many different choices ! It was probably the most perfect AirBnb experience I’ve had and we travel plenty.
