Wonderful hidden gem for weekend getaway

My partner and I stayed here while in town for a wedding and we loved it! Check-in was so easy and we felt right at home in the little guest house. Interior was spotless and the bed was very comfy. Would definitely be my first pick if I travel to mars hill again!

Great Stay!

Awesome weekend getaway in Mars Hill. This location was excellent and provided us the ability to dip in and out of Asheville…while staying away from all the hustle and bustle of Downtown. Also, it was very private. Highly recommend this stay.

In Between Paddling Trips

Only able to stay one night but really enjoyed the bucolic setting of this little cottage. Hostess responds quickly to questions and gives extra attention to details that make you immediately feel welcomed. First time ever receiving a complementary bottle of wine. Several sitings of deer including a fawn with spots at the bottom of the steps this morning was a real treat. Will definitely be back if we are up that way to paddle again.

Charming and peaceful home

The compact home is big on style, cleanliness and comfort. It is beautifully presented and has everything you would need for a couple’s road trip. We enjoyed sitting out on the covered porch. The host clearly cares about the traveler’s experience.

Beautiful Cottage!

My wife and I booked with Amber for a night on our way back home from Gatlinburg as we had a couple of things we wanted to do in Asheville on our honeymoon. She was quick to respond with any questions and was willingly accommodating with a couple of special requests I had. It's located a good distance from the road, on a farm and elevated on a second level. Beautiful decor inside, comfortable bed (major plus) and a beautifully designed bathroom and living area. We both loved our stay and highly recommend this property!

The property was just as presented! It was the cleanest property we have stayed in. Check in was a breeze. The atmosphere is so peaceful. In the evening we had a cow parade which was an added touch. Would most definitely stay again.

Quiet-Clean-Comfortable-Safe

It was a wonderful stay. The accomodations were very nice. Everything we needed We loved our stay. The location was very private, we could see the cows, and we felt very safe. We did not cook, but the kitchen was well supplied with cookware, serving items, and anything one would need. The apartment was well furnished and very clean. We even got to meet and talk to the owner! It was a very delightful stay.

Fantastic property

We loved our stay here! We planned a weekend away for my birthday and found this gem! The cottage was very clean, well appointed. The owners left nice welcoming touches for us and were very responsive to anything we needed. The farm was beautiful and so peaceful. We enjoyed relaxing on the porch each evening. I would give this property and these owners more than 5 stars if I could. Would definitely recommend and definitely stay there again.

Amber is so welcoming

We loved this cute little place in the quiet town of Mars Hill, just a few minutes from a college town with restaurants and shops, and also close to a big grocery store (Ingles). It's also very close to the highway so easy access to Asheville. My wife and I had a great time staying here in during our visits to Asheville.
