There is a king suite on the main floor with an adjoining bathroom, perfect for folks of an older vintage who find stairs tough to handle. The ensuite bathroom in this suite offers an elegant walk-in shower. The home boasts two more king rooms, one on the upper floor and one on the lower level. The upper-level king room is a spacious suite with stunning mountain views, a sitting area, a workspace, and an adjoining extra room perfect for setting up the portable crib to keep the young ones settled. The ensuite bathroom for this room features a dual vanity and a spacious walk-in shower. The lower-level king room is a cozy and private room, with incredible natural light to wake you each morning. This room features a large dresser that makes it easy to unpack and feel at home. The upper floor has two additional bedrooms, one with two queens and panoramic views, and one with two sets of twin-over-twin bunk beds - perfect for both the young and the young at heart! The lower level also has a bunk room with two sets of twin-over-twin bunk beds for memorable sleepovers. These beds are designed to handle the weight of adults, so don’t feel shy about reliving your childhood memories! There is at least one bathroom located on each floor, so there’s no need to wander between levels if you need to use the restroom in the middle of the night. In addition to the two ensuite bathrooms for king suites on the main and upper floors, there is another full bathroom on the upper and lower levels. Each bathroom has a starter supply of basic toiletries, hair dryer, and a stock of plush white towels set in each bedroom for your whole group. ☆☆ KITCHEN & DINING ☆☆ The beautiful and modern kitchen is fully equipped with everything you’ll need for cooking for large groups, including fun extras like a waffle maker, special popcorn bowls, dual coffee makers, and an electric kettle for tea. Complimentary teas and coffee are included, and there’s no better place to enjoy your morning cup of joe than from the sunroom or back deck with amazing views overlooking the mountains. For mealtime, you can cozy up to the breakfast area (seating for 6-7), dine in the formal dining room (seating for 9-10), or enjoy an alfresco meal on the screened-in porch (seating for 4-6). The German Bier Garden table and benches on the porch were imported from Germany and add a special touch to the mountain ambiance. ☆☆ LOUNGES ☆☆ There are several places to kick back and relax across the home, making it easy to gather as one large group or get some alone time. The grand living room on the main level is the perfect place to hang out as a group, with 4 seating areas, stunning exposed beams, and a natural stone fireplace with the convenience of turn-dial gas logs. There’s also a small library and great natural light for curling up with a good book. The sunroom is another great space to hang out and watch the beautiful mountain skyline view stretching across the entire back of the property. Or, head downstairs and discover the fun game room and TV lounge. This area provides hours of entertainment for the whole family, with a big flat-screen Smart TV, a comfy sectional sofa, and fun games including foosball and bumper pool. There’s also a kitchenette and bistro-style table here, perfect for serving snacks and drinks. ☆☆ OUTSIDE SPACE ☆☆ This stunning mountain home wouldn’t be complete without an expansive outdoor space that shows off the natural beauty of the location. You can enjoy amazing views of the mountains and valley from the entire back deck. We've got a truly luxurious hot tub that is custom-built for relaxation to aid in recovery and rest! Inside, you'll find plenty of beach towels to use for drying off. We've also stacked lightweight outdoor chairs and folding tables for your convenience that can be carried out onto the deck. Walk down from the deck and continue down the picturesque stone stairs and across the backyard into the side yard and you'll see the large stone fire pit there. There is always some stacked wood inside the shed that you are welcome to use. Although often forgotten about, the front porch is one of our favorite spots. With the view in the back, most people wouldn't think of sitting out front, but we'd recommend it! The wind passes through the trees in such a fantastic way, and this is the perfect place to enjoy it. Sit in one of four rocking Adirondack chairs or grab the hammock from the garage and set it up on the pre-hung carabiners on the trees on the island across the driveway. Please be sure to bring it back in after use to ensure it survives the elements. If you can tear yourself away from the comfort of home, there are some great spots to explore in the nearby area! You’ll be just a short drive from The Biltmore, some awesome breweries like Sierra Nevada, local restaurants, and plenty of outdoor activities like hiking, horseback riding, and even a gem mine! You could also take a day trip to one of the nearby mountain towns - Asheville, Brevard, and Hendersonville are all favorites! ★☆ Book Today & Let Us Take Care Of You In Mills River! ☆★ ☆☆ GUEST ACCESS ☆☆ Guests can enjoy private access to the whole house for the duration of their stay, including the expansive outdoor space. We'll send you a code to access the property through the front entrance during your stay. Wifi is provided at speeds that typically vary between 10-150 Mbps - perfect for those who need to stream or hold video conference calls. There are multiple WIFI 6 mesh routers placed around the house to ensure great coverage. Cell service has worked fine for those on T-mobile and Verizon. Access to the house is via a paved, private one-lane road. Please note there are no sheer or steep drop-offs on the sides of the road; it's hugged by the mountain all the way up, so for those afraid of heights, you’ve got nothing to worry about. There are parts of the road that are steep. Take your time going up and stick to around 10-15 mph; that way, if you see another car coming, one of the two of you can back into a driveway to let the other pass. Don't ever try to pull off the road into a ditch; always use driveways. Watch out for wildlife along the road, as well as the occasional fallen branch. *CLEANING* - Beyond selecting only the finest materials for furnishings and bedding, we make sure those items are sanitized and clean. Extra steps we take to ensure a spotless stay for your friends and/or family include: - We clean the duvet covers on beds after every stay - We have replaced all door knobs with antimicrobial knobs (yes, they really exist) - We sanitize all high-touch surface areas. - We disinfect the property top-to-bottom four times per year with a commercial service that guarantees the elimination of all bacteria on any surface or item.

I can’t say enough about this place! When you walk in, it feels like a pier 1 catalog! Every single thing you could think of is on hand. Every nook and cranny is sparkling clean. The beds are more comfortable than our new one at home!! Puzzles were a huge hit, not to mention the hot tub with the killer view. Private but not far from local hot spots and grocery stores. The hosts checked in to make sure we didn’t need any specific item or just local info even. We will absolutely be back as often as possible!!

This house is amazing! We stayed at the Gilead House for 3 nights and our only regret is we didn't stay longer! Was a great house for multiple families to stay in. The downstairs bedrooms, living room, and kitchenette offered almost a separate living space for a little separation for another family or older kids to hang out. We enjoyed the campfire every night, what a setup! The house was very organized and equipped. We are hosts as well for one of our properties, and I was taking notes! Thanks again for helping our 2 families make memories together in Asheville.

We loved our time at Liz and Yates’s well appointed home. We could have easily stayed indoors the whole time enjoying the books and puzzles, games and views. The weather was great during our stay though and we loved adventuring in the area and enjoying our secluded mountain perch. Everything has been so well considered from clean up towels for mountain adventures to an impressive selection of glassware to intuitive and detailed instructions on any question you may have about the home or area. Our children LOVED the bunk beds and kid appealing features; beds were super comfortable. The whole place is airy, bright and ideal for a relaxing week in the mountains. Personal favorite was the screen porch with the Biergarten table. 6 of us dined there enjoying music, breeze and an easy supper. It was magic. Highly recommend.

Our extended family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Gilead over Thanksgiving. The house is perfect for a large group – spacious, lovely décor, well stocked, good location and the view is fantastic. We loved watching sunrise from the sunroom. Liz and Yates are great hosts. Thanks for thinking of everything to make our stay so comfortable/amazing and for answering all our questions so promptly!
