Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Clay County

Stayed here while visiting family, and I can definitely see why my family wants to live in this area. The views are beyond compare and the atmosphere is amazing.

Very nice place I have already rebooked for next week

We enjoyed a relaxing 3 night stay in Bobby and Dina’s beautiful, river house and they were the perfect hosts! They were very responsive to questions and even offered area suggestions including a wonderful local butcher, for our BBQ night on the deck, listening to the peaceful sounds of the river. This home had everything we needed to prepare meals, very clean and tastefully decorated. We highly recommend this home for your trip to the Murphy area and would love to return when we have more time to fish & kayak!

Mario's place is a true mountain hideaway. Rustic and comfy with enough bathrooms for a large family. Big living room to gather in, and spacey enough to get some time to yourself if needed. The place is well-stocked and clean. The vibe is clutter free and relaxed, homey and spacious. Woodsy with lots of birdsong and no neighbors within sight of the house except way down the mountain far away. There wasn't really anything we needed that we didn't find...extra blankets and pillows, toilet paper, paper towels, shampoo, etc. There was even a chalk marker to mark our initials on our water bottles. Really can't say enough great things about this stay, and don't have anything negative to say. Mario is an excellent host and really flexible, with very few rules other than to respect his property. Highly recommend all the way around!

We had a great stay! The view was amazing and we loved being able to enjoy it from the porch. The house has everything you need and is very comfortable. The pictures are exactly as the house looks. It’s a cozy place. I would recommend staying here if you wanted a quite relaxing vacation home.

Very nice quiet area and enjoyed walking by the river. Would stay again next time we’re in the area.

Our Family stayed at the Hacienda Roja for a Christmas Vacation and we loved the place. We had a wonderful time there. There were plenty of things to keep everyone entertained (including teens) and plenty of room for everyone to spread out. We didn't even leave the house once we arrived. The house was clean and beautiful. It has an amazing view from the deck. We would definitely stay there again.

Great communication and was a good fit for my work crew.

What an excellent find. At one end of the small but densely packed downtown Highlands, we were no more than a 5 min walk from all the restaurants and shops we could want. The place was private and quiet while close to everything. I would recommend it.

This cute little downstairs apartment was perfect for our anniversary trip! It’s a great space for two people to relax and enjoy each other’s company. We spent our mornings on the porch swing drinking coffee and at night would head into town to eat at the recommended restaurants. The place was cute, homey, and had amazing views of the mountains!

I enjoyed staying at this quiet and peaceful place. It was neatly kept, clean, and comfortable. Dave and Barb were great, and I also enjoyed meeting Beans! Thank you for a wonderful place to stay during my trip.

This place was perfect! Super comfy, especially the bed and super soft sheets! Loved the screened in porch view, being elevated, looking down at the lake, felt so naturesque and private!

This was my first time visiting the Franklin/Highlands, North Carolina area. Lisa's studio apartment is in a hollow away from the main road which provided a quiet, peaceful place to relax with absolutely no traffic noise. Patio area in front of studio alllows you a place to sit and view the mountains while listening to the birds. You might get a visit from the cats looking for a little attention. Lisa and her family were very friendly and I enjoyed talking with them about the area and some options of places I should consider visiting. The studio is in a great location being only 30 minutes away from Highlands. I would highly recommend visiting Dry Falls on the way to Highlands. The walk down is moderate and the Falls are incredible. The studio was immaculate and beautiful. It is very spacious for 1 or 2 people having a small table with two chairs, large sofa and sufficient size bed. Kitchen area is small but provides everything you need for your stay. I highly recommend it.

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.

I really enjoyed my stay, it felt very homey. The bed is comfy, the area is peaceful and quiet. Owners are communicative. It was my first time, I would stay here again as I love visiting the Tallulah Gorge area. The cell signal is very good once arriving, there is no service on the short drive from town up the mountain.

We enjoyed our stay with Rita. We will book again with her.

Will stay here again

Jennifer was a great host and her condo was perfectly situated in Sky Valley. It looked recently remodeled and the entire condo was spotless. The tub and bathroom was so clean, as well as the bedding, living room, kitchen, you name it. We loved our stay here and loved that it was quiet & peaceful, but not totally secluded. My husband and I felt really comfortable in the condo and enjoyed our time overall there. We didn’t super LOVE the sleep we got on the bed, but we prefer softer mattresses and sleeping on a king size bed, so I think that contributed to it. It felt like a great quality mattress though and I think others would love it. Loved this condo & I would stay here again if I get the opportunity!

I had a wonderful stay! The space was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The host was communicative and welcoming, making check-in and check-out smooth and easy. The location was perfect—close to everything I needed, yet quiet and peaceful. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, stress-free stay!

We loved the attention detail from cleanliness, decor, amenities, quality linens, local recommendations, and communication. The location is perfect for walking to coffee and shops. A festival was going on in the town square, yet we still experienced easy access, designated parking, and quiet place to sleep and relax. We will definitely recommend this spot to others and we can’t wait to come back and stay a little longer. Thank you for the personal care.

The views off the top floor balcony are stunning! A great view of the sunrise over the lake. The house is very large and spacious with all the amenities you would need for a long stay. Well stocked utensils and cookware in the kitchen. A great loft area that turned into our prime hangout spot. Patricia is very quick and responsive and the check-in/out was a breeze.

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.

Loved everything about the condo! The location was perfect - we walked everywhere! Close to downtown, restaurants, breweries, and shopping. The condo was super clean with a nice aesthetic - a great vibe for our ladies weekend! Our favorite spot was the balcony with comfy seating for 4 to sip wine and overlook the train and people watch! Will definitely rebook this condo on future trips to Blue Ridge!

This was our 2nd time staying at William’s condo. Perfect location, beautiful, and had many comforts of home. This condo does not disappoint! The host(s) were great in their communication with us and responsive to our messages. We will definitely be back!!
