We had a wonderful weekend in Mars Hill! This was our second stay at the house—our first was over 10 years ago. We enjoyed the covered porches, and cooked a number of meals in the kitchen. It was a comfortable stay for our group, and we will likely book a stay again in the future.

Beautiful views and beautiful cabin!

Spent a great week here for Spring break. Great location. Our favorite bed was the hanging bed on the porch. Very soothing sounds of nearby water. Very big open kitchen with plenty of space to cook. Book this place you won't regret it!

Thank you Tara for your feedback. Yes we do have neighbors on each side of us that are rentals as well, however we do enforce no loud music etc after 10 pm so hopefully music wasn't the issue.

It was a rough start but it was an incredible experience. We enjoyed every minute. Mornings on the back porch were so soothing and you never want to leave. The “boys” big and small loved the fishing. It was a wonderful experience. The hostess was very kind and always helpful.

Great Rustic Home for a Mid-Size Group Getaway

My group of 10 adults found the property to be clean, well-kept and accommodating for our group's size. In particular, the cooking equipment and dining area helped to facilitate a wonderful steak dinner. We had a wonderful time, and if your group is looking for an affordable, calm weekend, this is a great place to stay!

Fun quiet getaway with friends

We had a fantastic girls trip here! The cabin was very clean and had everything we could need inside. The kitchen was perfect for cooking for everyone, and the back porch was a wonderful spot to drink coffee in the mornings. The gravel road was a little hard to get up with small cars, but we made it work. Would definitely recommend for a weekend away with a larger group!

A great family cabin get away

The cabin was great place for our family to get together along with our dogs. The cabin is very well stocked with pots and pans and the necessities to cook about any meal. The open kitchen-living area was a favorite where everyone could be together in a big open space with views from the windows. The hot tub was great. The outside decks were great to relax on and to look out across the ponds and the woods behind the cabin. Would definitely rent this place again for our family get together.

Winter Vacation 2022

The cabin excited our expectations. It was everything we were looking for. The drive up to the cabin is a little steep but once you make it to the cabin it’s all worth it. We had our dream winter vacation with a white snowed cabin. Our party was able to make snowman’s and have snow fights towards the back of the cabin. Thank you for this amazing stay.

Fantastic spot for our family vacation

This cabin was a fantastic spot for our family of eleven to stay for our first vacation with all our children, their partners, and our grandchildren. The cabin is gorgeous, unique, and filled with beautiful details. The large kitchen and living room were gathering places for deep discussions, games, meals, and fun. There was also enough space for everyone to have privacy. We watched the stars at night, cooked meals together, and reconnected in deep ways. We were close enough to drive to incredible hiking, rafting, and sites in Ashville. We had an unforgettable time as a family.
