About this property

Historic 8 BR Tudor on 3 1/2 Acres. Private estate and beautiful setting.

This home is a wonderful escape into history. Ask about discount for 4 night long weekends and 7 day weekly Rentals! Built in the early 1900s and updated several times, it has only had 5 owners since it's creation. Lots of updates for modern conveniences, but so many original features including wormy chestnut exposed beams, doors, and paneling...you'll feel the century of old charm. The property is very private and includes lots of outdoor activities to enjoy if you're relaxing at the house and around the property. It is one of the closest homes to downtown Asheville you'll find to accommodate larger groups .

Only 5 Miles to the Asheville Airport, 6-7 Miles to downtown Asheville, 4 miles to Blue Ridge Parkway and Biltmore Park. 5 Miles from I-40, 4 Miles to I-26, 7 Miles to Biltmore estate, and located less than 1 mile from so many restaurants, shopping, grocery stores and other nice amenities...you won't have to drive far for anything.

Pulling into the home you'll realize what a wonderful find this historic home will provide for short or extended stays Asheville, this city and surrounding region has so much to provide. Call or email with any questions. It can accommodate smaller groups who need only 2-3 Bedrooms, all the way to 8 BRs and groups of 16-18...(or more if you want to spread out on sleeper sofas and trundle beds).
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

My family and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend at this home. The house was a perfect fit! A large house with plenty of sleeping space, living space and a beautiful backyard with a view of the mountains. The home is over 100 years old so there is a lot of history and character but also very well maintained. The owner was very attentive and accommodating to all our needs.

Our family had a lovely stay in this beautiful home. We appreciate historic properties, and this gorgeous old Tudor provided lots of enjoyment for all of us. With an old house comes things like bedrooms without closets and sometimes journeying to a bathroom in another part of the house, but we managed all those things in a spirit of cooperation. The outdoor spaces are wonderful with gathering places and also tucked away places for the introverts to get away. Bill is a communicative and attentive host. I highly recommend this house!!

This is a great home for a family gathering! Lots of space, including many different bedrooms that enable privacy. Beautiful backyard that enabled lots of kids to play, and functional back deck enables parents to comfortably watch. We had some challenges with the facilities, but Bill and team did what they could to remedy.

A Perfect Home Base for Our Daughter’s Wedding in Mills River NC

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay during our daughter’s wedding weekend! This home beautifully combines the charm of an older house with the comfort of modern updates—especially the bathrooms, which were newly renovated and spotless.There was more than enough interior space for our whole family to relax, reconnect, and enjoy each other’s company between wedding events. The layout was perfect for both gathering together and finding a quiet spot when needed.The outdoor space was truly a highlight. From morning coffee on the porch to evening get-togethers under the stars, it gave us a peaceful and beautiful setting to create even more special memories as a family.We’re so grateful to have found this home and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend for families or groups looking for a warm, inviting, and well-equipped home in the Asheville area!

Christmas family vacation

We booked well in advance due to the stay was on Christmas. Bill was very attentive to responding to any questions I had. There was a huge hurricane that went through Asheville and he was informative about the property’s condition. No damages, just the utilities went out and a few trees. My family had a wonderful stay, it checked all the boxes as far as rooms, space, and nearby attractions like the Biltmore estates. Its truely a unique home!

About the host

Hosted by Bill Russell

Host profile image
I am the owner of this home and have loved this property for three decades when my best friend purchased the home in the 1990s. He finally sold it to me almost 10 years ago and I have enjoyed raising my 3 kids on this large parcel that is SO close to Asheville, but you feel so far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but it's minutes away if you want to jump into everything the city has to offer.

I have been making constant improvements to the home and property making it an amazing find and one of the most unique homes you'll find in the area. Most recently, the home and garage/barn have been completely painted inside and out. The 5th Bathroom is also completed in the lowest level which provides a common entrance for the 4 bedrooms that don't have their own private bathroom. It's been a real benefit for larger groups.

I'm a single father of 3, own a business in Asheville and got involved in rental property about 15 years ago. This property will be in my family forever and we take excellent care of the grounds and anything that needs attention.

Why they chose this property

This property is very private, it can accommodate large groups and there is plenty of room to spread out inside and out of the home.

SMALL EVENTS may be approved but are limited to 25-30 guests due to space and parking limitations and may incur a small event fee based on booking details and the specifics of the events. Lots of intimate weddings, rehearsal dinners, and small parties.

It is so close to everything Asheville has to offer, all while staying in a century old home that is one of a kind. Keep in touch as all proceeds from this property are going back into continued improvements and amenities.

What makes this property unique

Next to the Main house is a separate cottage that is now included in the rental and a great peaceful get-a-way for newly weds, grandparents, in-laws, or parents with a small child that wants a very quiet and private space...but is only steps from the main house. It has a separate bathroom, kitchen and living room. The front covered porch and the back patio at the cottage are a nice retreat from the main house.
