Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Swannanoa

Kate is a very professional host, attentive to detail, quality, cleanliness, and communication. She is also kind and respectful person. Her Airbnb would be great for families with plenty of beds, nice towels and linens and a washer/dryer. It’s also a cozy nest for anyone who wants proximity to Asheville, the Folk Art Museum or the Parkway. The house is nice with fun comforts without being too fussy. The main beds and pillows are excellent. The set up is fun. She also offers fresh rainbow eggs which was a welcome treat. I have been a host and have high expectations, some might say too high. I was very happy with Kate’s place.

This trip was the second time we stayed at Laurie and Scott’s. The place is clean, modern, and well-laid out. Super comfortable. We will definitely book it again.

Property was lovely and well equipped. It was very clean and check in was nice and easy. Kay was very helpful and recommended us with a crazy golf course. Area was safe, but close enough to other amenities. Particularly recommend Black Mountain, and Billy Graham's training centre.

Beautiful home. Clean tidy and comfortable. Would absolutely stay again.

Great place, we really enjoyed our stay! Great distance from Asheville. If you’re into coffee stop by Short Sleeves a few minutes down the road. The Jones Mountain Trail Head is also a few minutes away (Hopefully next time the Swannanoa River trail will be back open). Thanks for hosting us!

Absolutely loved Jaclyn’s place! The place was very clean and we felt right at home!

This place was amazing! Came to the area to volunteer after hurricane helene so was coming to the area with a large truck and equipment sparked lots of questions. Julie and Karl answered them fast and very detailed. For the record 50’ of truck and trailer fit easily in the driveway! The place was clean as a whistle and very homey. Everything that I could have possibly needed was there. I don’t know what the queen bed was made of but if I had the time I could have slept for days! Beautiful sunrise staring out at the mountains. Wonderful place and wonderful people. Definitely will be back!

This Airbnb was everything I needed. Clean, brightly lit with sunlight, and beautifully decorated. I was caring for a family member locally, and this provided the perfect place to return to at night, and to work from as needed. I was especially grateful for the decor and the many windows. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed our stay. Rodney and Dulcy were very accommodating. Their apartment is conveniently close to a relative we were visiting in Woodfin.

5 Stars — A Perfect Stay! Allison and Cory were incredible hosts! From the moment I arrived, everything was seamless—check-in was a breeze, the space was spotless, and every little detail felt thoughtfully curated. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests’ experience. The home was cozy, stylish, and had all the comforts you’d hope for (plus a few extra touches that made it feel special). Communication was quick and friendly, and they made sure I felt welcome the entire time. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again—highly recommend!

Suzanne was a great and friendly host! Her place was the perfect location, close to downtown Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway. It was nice to relax by the pool and eat at a few of the local restaurants she recommended. We loved staying here and recommend this place to anyone who is traveling to the Asheville area.

Had a fantastic three-night stay here at the end of May. Flowers in the area were in bloom, the view from the balcony is great, and the studio itself was well furnished and stocked with bathroom supplies (which most airbnbs do not provide). We probably paid a bit less than usual due to the ongoing cleanup efforts after Hurricane Helene in September of 2024. Most of the good hiking trails on the Blue Ridge Trail are still closed, and the supermarket in Swananoa is also still closed. Groceries and shopping can be found in Asheville, and good hiking can still be found nearby in Montreat.

We enjoyed our stay. Cindi was friendly, hospitable, and gave us great recommendations of things to do and places to eat nearby. We would stay there again.

First I will say, we are picky and this spot was PERFECT!!! We loved everything about Jane’s place!! Jane and her sweet husband were very helpful and accommodating and so friendly! I highly recommend their little getaway and we will definitely be back!

We have nothing but good things to say about Muffi and Tim’s wonderful studio! The space was immaculately clean and very cozy. Muffi communicated often and made sure we felt comfortable reaching out with any questions we may have had. We also arrived after dark, and still had a very smooth arrival and it was very easy to locate the Studio due to Muffi’s instructions. We could not recommend this space enough, especially if you are hoping to visit downtown Asheville or the Biltmore Estate!

This stay was a treasure! Very affordable, great location to relax and sweetly decorated and welcoming feel. The hosts provided us with everything we needed and prepared the space for a beautiful weekend! Will most certainly be back!! We also appreciated the reasonable rate, allowing us to pour back into the community. Restaurants and shopping options were first class!

"We had an amazing time, and the condo truly felt like a home away from home. Every amenity you could think of was available, and the bed was, without a doubt, the most comfortable I’ve ever slept on while vacationing. Unlike other rentals where you sometimes feel like a guest in a stranger’s house, this condo made us feel completely at home. Without a doubt, this will be our new go-to for regular weekend getaways in Asheville."

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!

I really loved the location, my room and bathroom were perfect. They were responsive, and quickly, whenever I had a question. Their place felt like a second home for the moment. I loved it!

Chad and Allison were fantastic hosts. The place is absolutely beautiful and lots of things for kids to do. If you are looking for a peaceful getaway with lots of things to do, this is your spot. Will definitely book again.

This is our second time staying at Rory's apartment. When we found out it was available We did not think twice and booked it right away. Our host’s hospitality and amenities made it a no-brainer! The location was convenient, space was comfortable, and communication was seamless. 10 out of 10 and we are looking forward for our next visit

Excellent location to explore downtown Asheville. Accomodation was exactly as described in the listing. Comfortable bed and has everything necessary for a short stay. Appreciate the additional information John provided when he found out we were in town for a concert. Having a parking spot and WiFi was important for us.

This was a great 2/2 in downtown Asheville. It was clean, comfortable with easy access. Relatively quiet space. My friend had a car and was happy for the guest parking (the street is metered parking and the meter maids are active). The location is good proximity to the airport and the Biltmore (I Uber’d to both). I would definitely recommend this place for your Asheville stay. Cheers!

One of the best rentals we have stayed in. The location is wonderful. We walked to great restaurants and shops. We will definitely rent this one again.
