Family-friendly vacation rentals in Candler

Melissa was so kind and responsive to any questions we had about local recommendations. Although Asheville is still recovering there were so many amazing places to go and things to do! We had a wonderful time and the hot tub was the cherry on top of every day. Highly recommend!

This is our second stay here. The space is clean and simple, with plenty of room in the kitchen to cook. The view and peaceful surroundings are more than worth the drive up the mountain.

Mae and her husband were excellent hosts. During our stay, we faced a few unexpected issues — nothing specific to the property, just things that could happen to anyone — but they made us feel incredibly comfortable and were always available to help us find quick and thoughtful solutions. I highly recommend this stay, and I have no doubt we’ll be back one day!

Solid place. Well maintained. Attention to detail. Had plenty of things one doesn’t always find in airbnb like cooking spray and extra toilet paper!

Very nice place to stay up in the mountains! Beautiful surroundings and quiet neighborhood. Host is very responsive and even had a paper inside the house with recommendations of where to eat, plus reached out to make sure we doing well! It is also easy to get up the mountain even if you don’t have a bigger vehicle:)

Had a great weekend in a magical spot.

The Shooting Star met all our expectations and then some. it was very private, quiet and peaceful. the kitchen was well stocked, furniture and beds were super comfy. we were looking for a peaceful getaway were we could be outside but have our privacy and thats exactly what we got! great outdoor space!!

"Modern cabin" is a modest description ... I would call this a mountain retreat! There were four of us (two couples), but the home would have easily accommodated eight. The design of the house was well thought out and roomy, and the decor was stylish and tasteful. It did not seem like a rental. The kitchen was fully equipped. Thick towels and a bubbly hot tub awaited our arrival, and the Saturday morning scones & hot chocolate were a delightful treat! Perfect spot for a remote get-away, but still just 20 minutes from downtown Ashville and many other attractions. We could not have been happier with this "cabin"!

Great location and very cute place. The dogs loved the yard and we loved the entire stay. Everything you need.

Loved staying here ! It is close to UNCA and was perfect for graduation weekend. The house has a lot of character and we were so happy with our stay. It even has a record player and nice selection of records which we took advantage of ! Ben was a great host and let us check in early to get to an event on campus. Highly recommend!

Very nice home and a friend host. Would definitely book this house again

Stayed here as a group of six and 1 dog. Very cozy and lots of space for everyone. Beautiful mountain views!

CAN NOT say enough great things about our stay here! We absolutely loved how clean everything was, how much space there was for our large group, and how peaceful it was here. Daniel was an excellent host, has seriously thought of everything you might need while away from home, and was so friendly and quick to respond. Everything was done with thoughtfulness to having a lot of people but not feeling cramped, feeling at home while being able to enjoy the peacefulness and fun of vacation. Would definitely recommend staying here again!!!

Brenda's place is fantastic - cute, clean, peaceful, and well stocked with everything I needed. It's a short walk to the lake, which is beautiful. Brenda was on top of communication and allowed us a late checkout. I would definitely stay again.

We stayed almost a whole month and truly felt at home. Loved every single thing about this little cottage on an orchard. Pat is a superstar host in my book. Always responsive and helpful in any way. We loved the location it's the perfect mix of feeling isolated but really only 5 minutes to the grocery store. Everything you need for an extended stay is right here. We'll be back!

Joanna and Jamie were awesome hosts. They made sure we had everything we needed. We were there during the Asheville flood, and Joanna offered for us to eat with their family, to insure we had food and supplies. Also the place was amazingly stocked. You can just show up with your clothes, everything else is there.

It was immediately apparent that Robert's place was one of the good ones! It was a charming historic bungalow furnished and outfitted with care and thoughtfulness. Handsome antique furniture served us well, classic lamps and artwork lent elegance, comfortable furniture arranged to allow for easy gatherings. The kitchen lacked for nothing and the large antique wood plank table accomdated our extended family. Bedrooms featured comfortable beds and crisp linens as well as blinds on windows that opened and provided delightful cross breezes. The bathrooms were spotlessly clean and showers had seemingly endless hot water. We appreciated the handy laundry room. A back deck and patio provided safe haven for our bicycles as well as a barbecue grill! Mostly we enjoyed the comfortable screened porch . We spent every evening here enjoying the sounds of happy children at the neighborhood swimming pool as well as a spring downpour. We hope to return someday for the next family reunion.

Beautiful property and amazing location!

Great house and great hosts. Thanks.

What a beautiful place! Jody and Sean are such incredible hosts. Their place is just as depicted in the photos, super clean, quiet location and yet close to town. They are extremely accommodating and kind! You have everything you need to make your stay complete. One of my BEST experiences in an Airbnb.

Valerie’s place was exactly as described. We had everything we needed and lots of little extra’s that we didn’t expect. The kitchen and baths were a bit dated but everything was in great shape so it didn’t affect function at all. There isn’t enough seating in the living room for 8 but the dining room is connected so some of us sat at the table talking anyway while others watched TV, etc. The driveway is very steep and parking is limited to 2 vehicles but the resort has an area where you can park additional vehicles. My older FIL had some difficulty navigating up the driveway to the front door. We also had a 2 year old with us and the house was perfect for him. He could go on the screened porch and wander the house as there is a door to the stairway which I appreciated. The home is very comfortable overall for a family. My older children thoroughly enjoyed the game room in the basement. We would definitely book again if my FIL is not with us.

Carolyn and Van’s place is fantastic! We stayed for 3 nights and only regret that we didn’t stay longer. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and very well-equipped. We felt right at home. My favorite part was eating breakfast by the window and enjoying the lovely lake view.

Jeff and Kathy's place was perfect for a weekend away for us without the kids. The location feels very secluded but with only about a 20 minute drive into the action of Gatlinburg. It is on a mountain but the roads aren't bad at all. The bed was very comfortable and Jeff and Kathy were great communicators. Would definitely stay again.

Sundrop Community is secluded and peaceful. Met the neighbors, everybody was super nice. Townhouse was perfect for what I needed. I was there to fly fish Caney Fork and the access to 2000’ of riverfront property was great. Two wood burning fireplaces were awesome (bring your own wood). Sundog were amazing and very helpful. The only negative I would say (it is not really negative), the listing indicates it is good for up to 6 people-I would disagree. Although there were 2 mobile air mattresses this place IMO is suitable for 4 people. Would definitely stay again.
