Gosh, this really was the get away both myself and my dog needed It was so relaxing to hang out by the fire and sip wine while my sweet Gracie was able to wander and explore safely around the fenced yard. It’s not always easy to find a place that accomplishes both of those things. The house itself was great; the king bed was so comfy! The sheets felt amazing. I usually don’t sleep well when I stay away from home but as soon as I got in bed, I knew it was going to be a restful night. It was such a special weekend get away, Gracie and I hope to visit again.
The property is perfect. Great location to a lot of things to do in the area and loved the fenced in yard for our pups! Christin made sure we were taken care of. We will be back!
The property was very clean and the host was extremely welcoming and responsive. We had no issues during our stay, but she did check in to make sure that we didn’t need anything. We absolutely loved the fully fenced in backyard for our two dogs. The hot tub, Foosball table and swing in the backyard were big hits with our kids. We also really enjoyed the waffle bar. Great location close to Pisgah national forest and downtown Brevard. Would definitely stay here again!
The game room was great for entertaining our kids and all of the adults. Great fire pit set up with the hot tub nearby. The property had plenty of wood for us to use so we didn’t have to worry about buying firewood. We definitely would stay again, great place.

Thank you so very much Lisa! I am so glad you all enjoyed your trip and we hope to have you all again some time!
The communication with the host was great! The cleanliness and the amenities were really nice. The hot tub on these cold winter nights along with the waffle bar and coffee station in the morning that were all included were such a nice touch. The fully fenced yard gave us peace of mind that our dog was safe and comfortable running around. Overall great stay and would definitely stay again!

It was very comfortable and set up well! The pictures were spot on and we loved the forrpit area and hot tub. It was nice to have a fenced in yard for our pup. There were really clear directions before and signage there which made it easy. Mills River Brewery was very close and was a nice afternoon spot with music and really good food. Would highly recommend!

This home was the perfect getaway. It was super clean, had all the amenities of home and more, and centrally located to all the local attractions. You can tell they really care about their property and want their guests to have the best experience which makes a difference when renting a vacation home. Our family had enough space to enjoy and relax in without feeling on top of each other when we were not out and about. We will definitely be back.

Tucked in the quaint town of Mills River this property boasts beautiful views and amenities for the entire family. The house is older but you can tell the owner took extra effort to make it comfortable. This property had a huge fire pit and a hot tub. There are many breweries in the area for quick access or Asheville was only 30 min away. The beds were comfortable the game room and waffle bar were a favorite of our kids. Host had great communication! We will definitely stay at this property again and would recommend.

My family and I stayed here for a few days and let me tell you, this was the best rental we have stayed in. We come to the area every April and this house by far was our favorite. The yard is so peaceful and large and well kept. We loved the swings the most. The sunroom was our favorite place to hang out at nighttime because of the comfortable seating and the large windows. The bathrooms are a bit tight but my 6’5 275lb father was able to use them so it was fine. I never felt like we were being watched or bothered. The host answered questions so quickly and grocery/shopping is less than 20 min away. I could go on and on but this place was the most wonderful getaway for our family. We barely left the property. We felt 110% safe. Highly recommend staying here!!!
Great property! Super happy about the fenced in yard for a golden retriever. House felt quiet and secure. Potter was a nice bonus. Laundry in the basement very helpful. Loved the mattress in the master bedroom!
My family and I are local to the Asheville area since 1991 and love to share all the local favorites! We love to travel, hike, tube, kayak and camp.
