Extended Family Christmas Gathering

The property and house were absolutely beautiful, clean and well appointed. It was convenient to multiple outings for hiking shopping and sightseeing. The extensive grounds were just what young children needed for running out energy and having fun. The home had multiple rooms together and socialize. The bedrooms were very comfortable. Even though we had a large group, we had plenty of room to spread out and have privacy as needed. Thank you for this opportunity to thoroughly enjoy my family!

Beautiful house and property

Peaceful house and beautiful property, perfect for our family reunion of 18, ages 1-68. Kids loved fishing and canoeing on the pond, lots of outdoor space for lawn games, and great hang out areas on screened porch and back patio. Plenty of room for everyone to have comfortable sleeping arrangements. We hope to come back again!

Family Fun

The home is beautiful, luxurious and tranquil on 25 acres. We were a family of eleven on vacation, but the property is ideal for weddings and other gatherings. The kitchen is well-equipped and conducive to making family dinners. We ate those on the patio and staggered breakfasts on the enclosed porch. With bedrooms and baths on three floors, all had privacy. There's a pond a short distance from the house, fun for fishing. Set in Mills River, we were close to activities in Hendersonville, Brevard, and Asheville.

Amazing Property

This beautiful estate was the perfect location for our micro wedding weekend. The home easily accommodated our party of 17. The two kitchens and numerous bathrooms made everything a breeze. My only suggestion to the host is to take some WD40 to all of the doors, lol. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to host an event with family and friends - weekend reunion, getaway vacation, etc - it was perfect!

Perfect large family getaway

We had about 6 families staying in the house and it was large enough for us all to have bedrooms and bathrooms and many communal areas that it never felt cramped! We enjoyed all the outside space as well you really didn’t have to leave the house but was also a very short drive to do anything else! BEAUTIFUL house that was very peaceful! Our family really enjoyed played hide and seek in the large house!

Great location, AMAZING Property!!

My family of 15 LOVED staying at this amazing home in Mills River. The house itself was absolutely gorgeous & had everything we needed, while the property was incredible - beautiful views. We loved the location - it wasn't too hard to drive to downtown Asheville & it was VERY close to the airport so we could pick up members of our family who flew in. There are MANY breweries all within a mile or 2 of the property - Mills River Brewing (great food & drink), Bold Rock, Appalachian Mountain Brewing, etc.! Also very close to a grocery store and liquor store! We were so impressed with our stay here & we hope we will be able to come back & visit soon!

Beautiful Home - Great Time

We had an amazing stay at Mills River ! The house was beautiful plenty of space for our large group. The pond that kids could swim in was surprise bonus. Location is perfect close enough to Asheville but just far enough outside city to enjoy the country air and peacefulness. Would definitely return !

Annual Family Vacation

We used this house for our family reunion fitting in three generations. It was spacious and the yard was absolutely amazing for the kids to enjoy. Had a lot of thoughtful extras that make traveling, especially traveling with kids, easier. It's hard to find a house this size that also has a dining space big enough for everyone. We'll be back!

Fabulous!

Everything about the house was perfect. The inside space was set up just right: the kitchen was well stocked, there are plenty of bathrooms, and there are 2 dining tables - perfect for eating, conversation, puzzles and games. The outside spaces were amazing, the kids could safely run around on the grounds. The outdoor patio with a gas fire pit was lovely. We even used the dock, pond and canoe. Plenty of seating both indoors and out. We went to Hendersonville for a day. What a charming town, with plenty of shops, galleries and restaurants. Our multigeneration family had a fantastic reunion!

Can't wait to come back!

Our group of 6 friends from college, along with everyone's partners and children stayed at the white house for a long weekend. Even with 11 adults and 5 children the house never felt crowded. Each family was able to have their own space and crying children downstairs meant child-free adults upstairs could sleep without being disturbed. The house had everything we could possibly need for a long weekend together. The kitchen was well stocked with all the pots and pans and dishes and gadgets that we needed to make dinner every night for so many people. The first night we noticed a couple key items like salt and dishwasher detergent were missed and Rachael restocked them early the next day. The house is in a great location between the fun of downtown Asheville and the beauty of the mountains and hiking outside of town. The property is gorgeous with many acres of rolling hills, a beautiful barn and pond. It was said many times throughout the weekend what an amazing house and property we found to spend quality time together in, and the whole crew looks forward to coming back again in the future.

Wow factor wedding venue!

We loved this gorgeous house on a huge, gorgeous property. We did not have a wedding here, but had our wedding party stay here for a few days before the wedding. The house is really, really nice. There is a lot of space, tall ceilings, beautiful kitchen, patios front and back, a new barn-like structure set up for a reception, party, or dinner, and other amenities. The overall setting and grounds are really pretty as well. Highly recommended for any large group.

HUGE house, perfect for our family of 25 Christmas get together!

I could spend all day talking about how perfect this property is. First off, Rachael, the property manager was a joy to work with. So communicative and helpful and quick to respond. We had family driving in from Kansas to beat the bad weather the week of Christmas, and Rachael let them in the house 3 hours early so they wouldn’t just have to sit in their cars after hours and hours of driving! The house is HUGE. You can’t fully even grasp how big it is by the listing. More than enough room for our family, which has 12 adults and 13 grandkids. Multiple refrigerators were so helpful and the kids played in the basement the whole time! The land is just so beautiful- the kids enjoyed running around, swinging and checking out the pond. And spotting white squirrels (a new one for us!) Every detail is so thought out in this house and the finishes are so stunning. Our family members raved all week about the house and we felt so proud that we chose this for our family Christmas! Ingles grocery store was 5 min down the road which was SO nice. There are also 4 or 5 foldaway twin beds (I don’t know if these are on the listing) that we used for kids- every single person had a bed, there was nobody in the floor on a pallet! They even decorated for Christmas for us :) I can’t say enough wonderful things about our stay. Thank you thank you!!

Wonderful home

Our 14 member family had a wonderful Labor Day gathering. The home was so spacious and provided plenty of room for private times and family times. There were 2 tables for dining. Also the dining table provided space for many fun games to be played. Grandchildren enjoyed walking and playing on the property. The 2 row boats on the pond were fun for the Grandchildren. We all enjoyed seeing the white squirrels scampering up the trees!!! The home is so private so it was surprising how close it is to restaurants and the grocery store. It is a beautifully decorated home!!!! We enjoyed our family vacation at this lovely home!!!! Our only complaint was no 13×9 Pyrex dish for our breakfast casseroles!!!!!
