Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Franklin County

We can't say enough wonderful things about this property or the hosts. Our hosts were extremely responsive and every last detail was taken care of. The house is very well set up with pantry staples, a fully equipped kitchen, and spotless rooms. There were even games and toys for kids (and adults!). The location is beautiful; we couldn't have asked for more!

Jessi’s Air bnb exceeded my expectations! The house its self was beautiful, and the inside was very well kept up! The back deck made the perfect lounging area, as well as the boat dock! We enjoyed lots of sunshine at the dock! Jessi’s communication was amazing, checking in on us, keeping up to date and her response time made questions answerable within minutes! The location of the house is 15 minutes from restaurants which made it very accessible! The house is perched back into a cove, which made it very peaceful and relaxing! I would highly recommend Jessi’s air bnb!

beautiful home and great host

This was our second stay at Kate's beautiful home and we are already planning a third. Quiet and peaceful with absolutely beautiful views of the cove and lake beyond. The house is sparkling clean and well appointed with everything you could possibly need. Even though the weather didn't cooperate we found plenty to do to keep ourselves entertained.

This home and host exceeded all expectations! It is such a “useable” spacious home—we cooked most every night and found the kitchen so well-stocked (with generous snacks and coffee & supplies as well). The large dining table handled our meals AND our board games (house has several). The many windows in living spaces & bedrooms revealed gorgeous views of the pretty lake—sunrises and sunsets were inspirational—and we could easily take walks around the neighborhood for more lake views. Beds and linens & towels were cozy and home was super-duper clean. So many beds! And THREE bathrooms was an amazing bonus to our group of 5 adults. So easy to gather in the living room with two couches complete with chaise features AND two footstools—so relaxing! The island in kitchen was great for spreading out our meals buffet-style. The house stayed cozy & warm during the chilly November weather. Large Closets and dressers abound. Kurt has labeled everything & has supplied about anything you might need!

Great host. Very responsive. The place was extremely well maintained and very clean. Everything worked exactly as it should from the keyless entry to Internet access. The property is located .5 miles down a gravel road, which is rustic and dusty. The area is rustic as well. The price was a little high for a manufactured home but it was a holiday weekend.

Alisha’s lake house was the perfect getaway for my family! Right on the lake, a huge yard for kids and dogs to roam and play. I sat on the porch reading while hubby fished. The house is about 10-15 minutes from any of the main stores and shopping centers!

Great little place!

The home was beautiful and the amenities were great. The kitchen was fully stocked with supplies and spices. The home was very clean and very cozy. There is a neighboring town about 15 minutes away, so there were plenty of food and grocery options. It is a perfect remote get away.

The only thing wrong with our stay was it wasn't long enough! The condo is beautiful and clean. There was a welcome cheese and cracker tray in the refrigerator for us when we arrived. The lake is gorgeous and we could have sat on the balcony watching the boats come in all day if we didn't have places to be :) There were 8 deer munching on the grass!!! It was the perfect place to stay to see a show at The Harvester. Great coffee/breakfast place just 10 min away, also on the lake. I can't wait to come back when it is a little warmer and take out the paddle board :)

It's always a pleasure to stay at Miss Susan and Mr. Tom's charming bed and breakfast. It is beyond comfortable and inviting. The breakfast muffins were just wonderful 😊

This was a quiet, cute and comfy place to stay and the bed was AMAZINGLY COMFORTABLE!!!!

We can’t say enough nice things about our stay. A definite gem of a find. Walkable to downtown, and a beautiful porch to relax on after a walk. The snacks provided were a nice touch. Plenty of coffee pods as well. Very clean and well maintained historic home. We will definitely return when we come back for more concerts at the Harvester.

We love Peggy’s place. The view is wonderful, and everything well apportioned. This is our second stay and would gladly visit again.

My sister and neice and I stayed at Key To Stay's condo for 2 nights in February. I had previously stayed at that same condo in November. I originally gave this condo a great review, which is why we rented it again. This visit had a few maintenance issues, but they were eventually resolved and Key To Stay made sure to reach out to me personally to make sure we were satisfied. I do appreciate their commitment to making sure they improve the guest experience. I will definitely be staying here again after the wonderful customer service. The location is beautiful, the lake view can't be beat. The area has some great places to eat also.

Perfect for dog lovers and lake lovers! I’ve rented various condos at Smith Mountain Lake and several different ones at Stripers Landing, but Shannon’s place is now my new favorite. With a great view, plenty of space and the option to bring the pup - it’s such a treat. Highly recommend.

This was our first time staying in an Airbnb and the first time we visited SML. Our experience was great from our initial inquiry regarding boat launching, docking, and trailer storage at check-in to our departure 5 days later. Armand obtained the info and map links from the security office that we needed to launch the boat and store the trailer. which made it easy once we arrived. The view from the condo is beautiful any time of the day, but the view of the sunrise across the lake behind the mountain is absolutely stunning. We were very comfortable and felt at home during our stay. If you have a boat, bring it, you can’t beat waking down to the dock on this water playground with marinas, restaurants, beaches, and shops to visit. We’re looking forward to returning in the Spring.

Mick’s place was the perfect spot for a long weekend with my son! Everything was clean and tidy, the decor was lovely and the directions were all very straightforward. The view of the lake from the porch swing was beautiful, we spent a lot of the time parked right there. It was very peaceful even on a holiday weekend. All of the amenities of Bernard’s Landing were great for entertaining a 9 year old as well. We visited the indoor pool and the beach and enjoyed the restaurant. We were a little disappointed to find that the outdoor pools weren’t open yet as it was in the 80’s, but it wasn’t a big deal. Thanks for sharing your space with us!

Kathleen’s condo is wonderful, very clean with tremendous views of Smith Mountain Lake and the mountains. We truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this for a getaway of relaxation and rest, but also in close proximity to a lot of great activities. Thank you, Kathleen.

Our quick escape before picking our son up from NC State was relaxing and so enjoyable. Spent a lot of time out on the lake. Temperatures were warmer than the usual April weather, we both have great tans to prove it! We were very comfortable at your place. Perfectly located off of Scruggs gave us the ability to get to our favorite restaurants (Napolis is the best and only a quick walk away). New to us was Black water cafe, totally awesome! We will go there again when we return. We were able to spend time with family that have recently moved to the lake. Our little escape has re energized us, filled our hearts with joy and great memories on the lake. Your place had everything we needed. We were very comfortable. We enjoyed the decor, the layout, everything about your little slice of heaven on the lake. Who could ask for anything more. Thank you sincerely.

Thank you so much Mary Anne! We had an amazing weekend. It was so peaceful and such a beautiful location right by the lake. All of the information provided in the guide book was very helpful as well! We would highly recommend staying here for a relaxing getaway by the lake!

We had an amazing stay! Such a great location and lots to do inside the community. I recommend it!

We had a great stay at this beautiful, cozy condo! The views of Smith Mountain Lake were gorgeous, and we spent a lot of time just relaxing and taking it all in. The option to choose between the screened-in and open patios was so nice to have. The condo was very clean, and the area around it is beautiful—perfect for a quiet getaway. Leslie and Craig were responsive and helpful, especially when I needed to come back to grab a few things I left behind after check-out. We also appreciated the private dock box, which had nice camping chairs for sitting by the water and floats for swimming. The condo was cozy, with plenty of blankets to keep things comfortable. We hope to be back again!
