Probably the best Accommodation I have ever stayed at..
Brilliant Properly in beautiful location Excellent 3 bed house in Massive surroundings. Everything you need to makebyour stay feel like your at home.Less than 5min walk to Marshill We stayed there to visit our son on his 2nd year at MHU.
Perfect location! Cute, clean, safe neighborhood, accurate description and convenient location.Took the kids to Hately point for skiing and this was a perfect location with a short drive to Hately and Asheville.
My family had such a great time and perfect location. We spent some much time on the porch, even in the rain. Love all the period correct furnishings and old photos. This was our second but looking forward to the next.
My family and I have stayed in this house many times over the four years our daughter was attending MHU. Perfect location, very clean and we love the outside deck and front porch. Only negative is it’s only one bathroom but all the positives out way that for us! Love the Apple House!
Our stay at this beautiful house in Mars Hill was so much fun. The location is excellent, Mars Hill is such a lovely place, and it was the perfect spot for the plans we had. I highly recommend this house if you are interested in a wonderful place in this area.
The property was clean and cozy. The beds were very comfortable. It’s a short walk to town and coffee shop. It’s a nice small town and it was beautiful in the Fall. The host was very helpful and communicative regarding the area and how it was affected by the hurricane. Would definitely stay again.
Apple on the Hill was the perfect getaway! We loved the location: scenic view close to town but still far from neighbors The house had everything we needed, including the coffee maker and coffee! The decor and antiques were lovely. Loved the story of the family and so glad Kathy and Becky were able to keep this treasure. Great communication too. Not too far from Biltmore Estate.
This is a lovely, cozy rental with amazing history. One of the best I've ever stayed at, as far as character goes. Thank you so much for sharing Grandma's Home with us!
Nice little town and house to see some local attractions if you don't mind a short drive. We chose this house for that reason and glad we did. We had a great experience.
This was a wonderful place. The location was quiet and beautiful. The house was clean and well equipped. The yard is beautiful, the porches great places to sit and eat or just sit and visit.
I highly recommend this place.

Beautiful
Nicely updated retro location in beautiful Mars Hill. Clean, comfortable, nothing negative to say.
We were in love from the moment we arrived! Charming, comfortable and within walking distance to Mars Hill University. Perfect space in bedrooms and tv room. Beds were very comfortable with amazingly luxurious linens! Towels provided were thick and luxurious as well! Kitchen very up to date and had everything we needed. Great front porch with rockers that we loved each morning and evening. So peaceful and quiet. The grounds were amazing, lush trees and beautiful flowers and plants! Added bonus were the deer, fox, lightning bugs and birds that greeted us daily! We absolutely LOVED staying at Apple on the Hill and would love to stay again soon!!

Easter Weekend
We enjoyed staying at the Apple on the Hill. The house was charming and we loved the history of the ownership. Everything was super clean and the house was well equipped with all that we needed. We were able to have a wonderful Easter dinner with our daughter who attends Mars Hill University.
What a charming home. Absolutely wonderful. Our entire family highly recommends this awesome retreat for everyone. The family history, love and dedication to restoring this home is worth the stay itself. You won't be disappointed.
This place was so cute. It was super clean and I loved how the historical parts of the house remained while making it modern at the same time. It had everything that we needed for the stay. The bathroom is a bit small, but no problem for a vacation stay. The beds were comfortable and although it was very cold while we were there, the house was toasty. I hope that it will be available when we are back in Mars Hill again.
