Family-friendly vacation rentals in French Broad River

We love the little red house! It was a perfect stay for us and our dogs ❤️ we would love to stay again in the future!

Everything we wanted. If all you want to hear and see is nature then this is the place. Amazing property with beautiful views.

Perfect! I stayed here with my 10 year old son during a week’s vacation - hiking and playing in waterfalls. The bungalow had everything we needed and was comfortably unique. The beds and pillows were super comfortable, the outside area was great for hanging out, and the location was quiet, peaceful — but close to our adventures. We loved everything about it!

We loved our stay! Everything we wanted to do was in close proximity and the recommendations for food were amazing! Our stay was peaceful and the cottage itself was lovely.

DON’T miss your chance to experience the magic of the River Love barn. Kangee’s EXCEPTIONAL hospitality throughout our time in her home set the tone for the entirety of our stay. Her attentiveness & genuine warmth made us feel right at home. The beauty of this property is truly beyond words. While the photos online are stunning, they don’t fully capture the enchanting atmosphere that envelops you as soon as you step onto the grounds. Our favorite spots were the clawfoot tub, perfectly nestled in a private, serene area of the property & the outdoor hammock within the screened in back deck. Kangee truly brought the outside in with her thoughtful design. Even on a rainy day- the sky lights during a storm that had passed through was such a reminder of the cozy atmosphere that permeates the barn. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful getaway or a relaxing family trip, the River Love Barn is a hidden gem that I cannot recommend enough. We left feeling refreshed & inspired, with hearts full.

Place was absolutely beautiful will definitely be back here and there is plenty to do hike wise and city wise. Thank you for hosting us🙌

Great location for a quick family weekend get away. Loved the scenic location, wildlife, and sound of the creek from the comfy porch. Listing as described, kitchen clean and functional. Beds/pillows clean and comfortable. Location close to Asheville and local attractions.

We had a wonderful time at David's cabin. This was the 5th time we have stayed in the Pigeon Forge area and this was the best cabin we have stayed in. Very clean, absolute gorgeous views and private. David was a great host. He was very responsive and checked in with us to make sure things were going well. The movie projector and games were a hit with our teenage son. We would definitely stay at his cabin again.

Beautiful cabin with a beautiful view. So peaceful and relaxing. Wayne is an excellent host, great communication. He gave great recommendations. Don’t pass this one up! Will be back for sure.

Dawn and Ron were amazing hosts! They were very responsive and gave amazing suggestions for our girls trip. Pippin and Frodo gave us so much joy! I would highly recommended to anyone looking for a place to enjoy some peace and relaxation but convince of experiencing all that Asheville has to offer.

Smithson’s place was perfect for us. Very clean and cozy! We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen that had full pots and pans and spices too! He was so kind to help me with a package debacle and always fast and nice responses. He made us feel at home and welcome. We enjoyed playing basketball on his side of the fence. Very dog friendly and also quiet. I enjoyed reading in the porch every morning with my coffee. Was also close to everything we wanted to go do! Highly recommend!

This home was perfect for our family of 3 teens and 3 adults. It was spacious and clean, we wanted for nothing. All this with a very accommodating, understanding and hospitable owners, who let us stay even after Helene's destruction to their bridge. Thank you for the wonderful stay this Thanksgiving 2024.

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cabin. The proximity to town was great. Not too far out but still very private. And the kids having a separate area to hangout and play was a great bonus!

What a view from the back porch! The cabin is very well equipped. The drive in can be a bit rough. But very worth it. The cabin was very comfortable for our family to stay in. The falls behind the cabin are worth the trek down the mountain.

We loved it! Charming, cozy and clean. Loved sitting on the porch, watching hummingbirds feed. The whole family enjoyed exploring the beautiful yard. Perfect place!

We loved our stay at Brenda's place! It was a great location, an easy walk to the lake. Everything was very comfortable. Brenda communicated very promptly and was very accommodating. We would stay here again!

I have stayed in Carolyn's units several times. She is a fantastic host and very responsive. The apartment had everything we needed for a week's stay. There are snacks too! We were at a conference with people dropping in for lunch so I particularly appreciated the extra table and chairs. I slept on the bed and sofa and both were comfortable. The lake view and access to the walking trail are perfect. The close proximity to Stuart Auditorium was a must for me. I highly recommend Carolyn's units and am already booked for next year.

Amazing view, comfy beds, great location!! Secluded feel but the grocery store and much more is a short drive away. Honestly I could’ve sat on the back porch and looked at the mountains and river all day. The pool was a nice spot, well done little area. My daughter enjoyed the little playground. Happy we booked this place!

Absolutely beautiful cabin:) Peaceful, serene, clean, great location. Loved our stay! Thank you 😊

This was my third stay at Glimpse of Heaven, and it most certainly won’t be my last. The name truly says it all. The view is absolutely unmatched. One of my favorite things about this cabin is its location. It’s quiet and serene, far removed from the crowds near Gatlinburg but still just a short drive away if you want to explore the area. It’s also perfectly situated near Cades Cove and the Foothills Parkway, which makes it ideal for scenic drives. The cabin itself is always clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Shirley, the host, is always quick to respond. She makes every stay easy and enjoyable. I couldn’t recommend Glimpse of Heaven more highly—it’s become my go-to escape in the Smokies.

We throughly enjoyed our stay. Cute little cabin with some awesome scenery. Very clean and Alan was very responsive to any questions. The community pool/gym was a big hit with the kids and we enjoyed the view at the top of the mountain. This cabin is a wonderful central location. 20 minutes to the Greenbrier entrance of the park, Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Definitely would stay again. 10/10

we loved the condo..exactly as described in the listing. the location was great..easy walk to the strip. Definitely would stay here again.

Beautiful views in a clean and cozy cabin. Would 100% come back if ever back in the area.

Great stay for 3 families with kids ages 8-15. Game room provides hours of entertainment with an air hockey table, table tennis, and a smart TV. The house has 3 floors for sleeping-top with a bedroom and a loft (3 beds total), main floor with 1 bedroom, and basement with 2 bedrooms if it helps in planning—all very comfortable beds, bedding, and each with private bath. Kitchen beautiful and well-stocked. Grill worked beautifully with outdoor picnic table. Clean, large hot tub, too, which was great. In the mountain with great views of Le Conte and very close to both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Would highly recommend! Clean, modern, comfortable, and so many amenities for relaxing and enjoying the area!
