Kathy continues to deliver on cleanliness and ease of stay! We’ve stayed at this location multiple times now. You can go anywhere or do anything from here. I don’t know what brings us back the most: awesome property owner, the location, the fire pit, the hot-tub, the awesome king bed (so comfortable!), the fact that we can bring our Boykin spaniel, or the Amazing Pizza Company (yes, it’s actually called that!) and brewing companies just down the road (literally).
This is our home away from home in Mills River. Period.

We visited family in the area. Great location, beautifully furnished and super easy to access, no steps! We will be staying again, Kathy is a lovely hostess. The apartment and fenced in yard are spacious and made for families snd their fur babies. Thank you, Kathy. Wevare looking forward to staying with you again, very soon.

Very comfy- especially whilst traveling with the dog. The bed in the bedroom we used was very comfortable (back bedroom with 2 windows). The kitchen well equipped and bathroom nice sized. It was lovely to have yard access and was very quiet and easy to get to.

This is the THIRD time I have stayed with Kathy at her charming apartment. She is, by far, the most attentive hostess I have ever experienced!
Kathy has made some awesome upgrades since my last stay here. She added an awesome HOT TUB, added an awesome stainless steel (extra deep) sink in the kitchen, got a new refrigerator with icemaker and water dispenser, and improved the fire pit area.
I continue to love this location because it allows me to access Brevard, all the breweries in Mills River, and Asheville in very “doable drives” (esp nice at night).
It’s just EASY EASY EASY and such a relaxing stay. If you want all the relaxation, smells, and “feels” of the mountains (and don’t mind not having or paying for a view), this is the house for you!
Also, the king bed sleeps like a dream (I’m sure the others do too…but in three stays I’ve only been on the king and won’t give it up now)!

From the proximity to everything I had planned to do in the Asheville/Pisgah area to the cleanliness of the home to the responsive communication with the Property Owner means that when I go back to Asheville I will try to book here first.

We experienced a very quiet and peaceful long weekend just as planned. Close to shopping but secluded off main roads. Beds were great and we didn't want to leave.

We wanted to explore Asheville and Hendersonville while having plenty of room for our family of 5 and found Kathy's property in Mills River. It has ease of access to the main roads.
Our 2 year old toddler with motor skill delays and sensory issues was happy playing inside and outside the property as it is very spacious. The main room had lots of space for her travel bed and our older boys each had their own room.
The decor is classical and gives a cozy feeling with solid wood furniture throughout.
The bathroom has a large shower with a seat. Kathy provided towels, toilet paper, hair products, hair dryer...
The kitchen is nice and open with modern appliances, a very large sink and anything you might need if cooking for your family.
It is a basement property with french doors looking out to Kathy's beautifully maintained garden! Remember you are in the mountains and you will encounter some spiders, ants, mosquitoes...
A filter machine is set up inside and you have AC/heat for any type of weather change.
There are dogs on the property that are separated by a fence, and are always happy to greet people.
Kathy was available in person and by text always happy to give recommendations of places to explore.
There is a Bold Rock Cidery 3 minutes away with excellent food. The grocery store is also very close as well as a very large playground surrounded by farmland for amazing sunsets.
The street is quiet and walkable. Kathy has great parking right on the property.

Great location and stay
We really enjoyed our short stay at Kathryn’s little apartment. The location was wonderful right in the heart of Mills River not far from both the interstate and all of the great hiking areas nearby at Dupont in Pisgah. Everything was very clean and the apartment was really well stocked with all of the necessary kitchen supplies for a great stay. The beautiful garden area with fire pit and chairs was a great touch

Very nicely furnished. Kathy came to greet us shortly after our arrival and gave us some useful information about local eating and drinking establishments. Good location with access to many of Asheville's attractions.

We came for vacation and also to visit my son nearby in college. It was a perfect place for bringing out dog! Mills River is a great location to visit Hendersonville, Asheville, and the surrounding areas for hiking, shopping and eating out. Two breweries are in walking distance: the Mills River Brewing Company has great food & beer, offers live music, and is very dog friendly. The apartment was clean and comfortable. Kathy was a welcoming host and helpful when we needed.
* My only caveat is that I had searched for "whole house" when looking for a place. It was only later that I fully realized that this rental was a self-contained lower level apartment of the home of the owner. It worked out okay. Second, the house is located in a neighborhood surrounded by busy state highways. In order to take long walks, we had to get in the car and drive. Again, something I didn't investigate more deeply on a map. I would absolutely stay there again and recommend to others.

Girls weekend part 2
This was the second time our girl group stayed at Ms Kathy’s place in Mills River! We LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Fire pit at night. Clean. User friendly entry/exit. She has the most comfortable KING BED EVER! She even brought down an ironing board (she doesn’t iron though😉). But we love staying here and already booked our Spring trip!

The location is FABULOUS! So easy to get to Asheville, Hendersonville, and Flat Rock for breweries, shops, restaurants, etc. The back yard is VERY secure for your dogs and it’s beautiful and private. We lit the fire pit several nights and had wonderful conversations. Highly recommend. 5 stars to the host!!
