Kid-friendly vacation rentals in McDowell County

We had an amazing stay at Lisa's modern cabin. The gravel road was easy to navigate and check in was very smooth. The cabin was immaculately clean and very thoughtfully decorated. Our kids enjoyed the space, we were glad to have toys and puzzles for them in the house to play with. We loved sitting on the deck and taking in the views and outdoors. We look forward to coming back!!

This place is truly beyond words - anyone who has a chance to experience Indigo will walk away with a new perspective on peace and tranquility.

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for a few days. It’s a cozy home away from home that is comfortable and has pretty much everything you need to relax. The kitchen had everything that we needed so we didn’t feel any reason to go out for dinner. The host was absolutely amazing and we hope to return to this home in the future.

Fantastic place to stay! Me and my grew are repeat guests after the first stay! We do storm work and have a crew of drivers, and the place suits us perfect. Very thankful for the fanatic response host. Dawn is phenomenal and she wants to see to it that we are all taken care of.

Exceeded our expectations even with less than stellar weather. The home is much bigger than it appears in the photos. Everything in the house was clean and in working order. Pantry/Laundy room was stocked with all the might needs and easy to locate everything. We kept busy for hours working through the supply of puzzles. Super private home, but only minutes from the Walmart was quite the luxury. Communication was so good that we never even had to ask a question as everything was covered clearly. We hope to visit again.

This home was absolutely beautiful! From the cozy decor to the comfortable beds, clean linens/towels, and home—plus the babbling creek right outside! I could not recommend this space more. The location is great if you're looking to be out and away but within a reasonable drive into town/cities (Black Mountain is about 15-20 minutes, Asheville is about 40-45 minutes). Jason and his family were proactive in communication, extremely helpful, and left very clear instructions for their home. As a dog owner, the provided dog towels, blanket cover, and bowls were such a helpful touch that made the stay that much better. Thank you again for a wonderful stay! Major highlights: Very clean, comfortable, cozy, and peaceful.

Nice house. A little dated, but that was kind of nostalgic. Mountain views are breathtaking!!

Third time coming back & won’t be the last! Donna’s place is gorgeous and spotless. Great host and always a great stay. Beautiful views and so peaceful. Loved every bit of our stay and will anytime we come back.

Blin's place was spotless, comfortable and the view was stunning - Fall leaves were in full color while we were there. The bathrooms were spacious and clean - the water was hot with good pressure. The king bed in the master was supportive and comfortable. I heard no complaints about the bunk room beds the kids used. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, bowls and cooking utensils. All appliances worked well. It was muddy while we were there so we rolled up the light colored rugs so we didn't accidentally stain them. We had our dog with us and there was plenty of area for him to run and the streets were quiet for a walk along the road. There are steps all the way to the water which will be amazing for lake access in the summer. As it was cold while we were there and the lake was still recovering from Hurrican Helene, we did not get in the water. All in all it was a great place to stay.

Karen was helpful in sending recommendations and communication regarding the impact of Helene on the area. Always answered questions and put us at ease. The suite was beautiful and the amenities were nice and the views were great. Instructions were helpful. I would highly recommend this suite

Nico is an awesome host with a very peaceful and clean property

Anthony was great. Very clean place and centrally located in Marion for what I needed. Right off of main street within walking distance to shops, restaurants and even a bar or two. Would def stay again when I'm in town again.

Absolutely a gem of a condo in a great location. 12/10 recommend this as a place to stay when in town and we will for sure book again!

We had a wonderful stay here! Very quiet and cozy. We will definitely be back, Laurie is a gem!

What a wonderful place to stay!! Phil’s place is gorgeous, spacious, clean and has an amazing view! Phil communicated thoroughly and quickly. I would highly recommend his place if you are planning a trip to the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains and want to experience a quaint mountain town. Burnsville is delightful and the mountains are simply breathtaking!

This was my second stay at Kevin's. It was perfect for my kids and I for the week. It had all of the conveniences of home - kitchen tools, laundry, clean bathroom. It's a very safe neighborhood and Kevin is a very friendly and responsive host.

We stayed in the cabin for a death in our family March 2025 and wanted a place clean, relaxing and quiet and we got just that!! We did have a "tiny" issue but when Tamra found out she was on it, and it was corrected quickly and we even talked on the phone, and she was the sweetest person. The Cabin was clean and comfy and so relaxing, and the beds were so comfortable also. We would definitely come back to stay & recommend it to anyone!!

Tamra was super friendly. All was as described. Area is beautiful. Hot tub, quick walk to Lookout Mountain hiking trails, and short drive to cute Black Mountain town were a big plus!

My husband and myself enjoyed our stay this weekend ! It was very pleasant and we enjoyed Dean’s hospitality. The place is fully equipped and I would recommend this place to anyone !

Lovely well-equipped condo in a beautiful area of the North Carolina mountains. The three levels were perfect for the four adults and two children in our party. Very quiet and peaceful with great scenery.
