Recent Mills River guest reviews

We loved the location next to a great brewery and the comfy open vibe of the house. The only issues were an oversight on the housekeeping schedule that resulted in our rental not being cleaned before our check in. We unfortunately had to do some sprucing up, but they promptly refunded our cleaning fee. We also had to leave half way through our stay due to Hurricane Helene, but we purchased travel insurance so we're covered. Our dogs enjoyed the large grounds and we slept comfortably the few nights we were there. There were also multiple workers on the property updating the out buildings on the grounds during the day as well as events like an air stream rally and bike race that ran through the far end of the property, but they didn't disrupt our stay.

It was quiet and a nice home for rent. I would definitely rent again

Our families had the most incredible stay at this dreamy waterfront cabin! Waking up to the stunning lake views from the two-level balcony was a morning ritual, and our evenings around the firepit were pure magic. The kids couldn’t get enough of the kayaks, Ping-Pong, and the epic bunk room, while we soaked in every moment around the cozy kitchen island and fireplace. The location was unbeatable – secluded enough to feel like a retreat, yet close to breweries, trails, and the most amazing waterfalls, plus just 20 minutes from Downtown Asheville. We didn’t want to leave and are already planning to make this our annual family getaway. Thank you!
