My mom, husband, kids, and dog really enjoyed our stay. The location was so peaceful and remote, but also super convenient to all amenities. Coffee on the porch was our favorite. Check in was easy and communication with owner and rental company was very good.

My family and I made this our home base while in town for a convention. It was peaceful and beautiful up in the Smokey’s. Would stay here again for sure.

Wonderful property as listed. Secluded but near enough to be able to get out and enjoy the area! Thank you!

It was all just ok. Nothing overly fantastic but nothing hugely wrong either. We needed a place near breweries for tours with friends. It served that purpose but things like extra towels, bath mats, a/c that was turned up while we were gone, all made it ok - but not super nice or over the top great.

Having our home remodeled created the need for a nearby vrbo rental and we landed on this NEW listing. Super convenient for keeping an eye on our construction project, taking child to high school etc but for, out of town guests visiting the Greater Asheville area, this Mills River home is in a great location! The winter mountain views are great - enjoy sunrise on back deck and sunset on front porch. The home was well appointed and had most things anyone could need. Our teenage daughter enjoyed the very private downstairs bedroom and second living/movie room (as did mom and dad, LOL). The fenced in backyard was very nice for our two doggies as well. With this being a new rental with the owners living in Florida, we expected some issues which we understand the owner will soon address. First, the KWIK lock on the main entry door does not work properly. We were locked out for over an hour in the very cold temperature...taking over 100 tries for the lock to recognize our code. We had no way of locking the house securely for three weeks (not good). The listing should have included some language about winter accessibility. It is a one lane steep road and NOT state maintained (as a local, had I known that in winter, I likely would have rented something else). Upon our arrival, there had been a very significant winter storm and the drive up was VERY icy. We understand the cleaning crew prior to our arrival actually went off the road and the neighbors had to pull them back onto the road. Week two we had another cold snap come through that froze the water pipes into the house. There is an above ground well house that is not insulated. We fortunately found an electric cord and unfroze the pipes with a hair blow dryer which took several hours. Over the three weeks, we noticed water pressure steadily decline due to clogged well/water filter into the house. By the end of our stay, you couldn't take a shower without both bathroom shower-heads making a whiny ear-piercing scream. Again, we understand the owner will be on-site soon (they recently bought the home themselves) and intends to address maintenance issues with the home. Otherwise, the beds are comfy, we had most everything we really needed, the location is great (aside from select winter road scenarios/freezing pipes), and the area/attractions are super convenient. Lots of fun things to do nearby! I have no doubt future renters will enjoy this home once work is complete.
