Beautiful country estate

Loved this home in the valley, located amongst farms. Appreciate being able to bring our two dogs and having the space to walk the property. Home is very clean and a lovely place. I can see why someone would want to host small gatherings here.

Thanksgiving family trip

Mt Airy was a perfect spot to gather the family for a holiday. The kitchen was perfect for cooking a family meal for 12, well stocked, serving dishes and all. We enjoyed the hot tub, the ping pong and the big family room for game night. During the day everyone did their own activities but when we came together for happy hour we were all happy to spend the evening at home together because the house was so comfortable. We would all visit again.

Nice house with a lot of space & great views

Our whole family enjoyed the stay. Here are some of the highlights: * Tons of space inside and out (lots of bedrooms and living space) * The kitchen is a central, pretty, spacious area to hang out * Beautiful views * Tennis court is a great amenity * Outside pool area is nice * Property manager was responsive and helpful The few downsides are that there was a bee issue in one of the bathrooms, and the downstairs door to the outside didn't lock. Not too bad given the positives. Hope you enjoy your stay!

Great view and amenities

Our stay was beyond perfect for hosting our wedding, there was a few minor challenges but nothing that would be a large deterrent from staying again or enjoying our stay. The house itself is fully stocked with anything you would need from kitchen gear to minor party essentials, for example we misplaced our card box and there was one there, along with a cake holder and beverage dispensers. The only issues we had were the amount of towels available was low considering the size of the house and there were many bees that got inside the home however Cole was quick to assist in getting them reduced. Cole was very friendly and responsive during our stay. We were able to fully use the property and house, and felt like it was ours which was nice to feel during a time so special to us. Would definitely love to stay again, the views, hot tub, patios, pool, and fire place just can’t be beat.

Beautiful location and outdoor space

We really enjoyed the house and grounds. The outdoor space is wonderful, with the infinity pool and hot tub. We used both daily. The rooms are comfortable with good beds and linens. The kitchen is large and a great place to hang out. The only disappointment was that the piano was badly out of tune and not usable due to that. This property is remote, about 40 minutes to Asheville. It would make a great corporate retreat of family reunion.

Wedding week

We stayed here for a week and hosted a “reception” (more like pool party with catered food/cake) for family after our wedding ceremony at Pretty Place in Cleveland, SC. The property was amazing overall, the infinity pool and hot tub was where we spent the bulk of our stay. When we arrived, we found full trash cans. Based on the initial communication I received about who to contact, I reached out to Mark (manager) about when those cans would be emptied so we could continue to move trash out. I never did hear back from him, so I contacted Cole, who immediately got back to me and removed those trash bins and brought around empty ones for us to use. Overall the house was very clean, well stocked with linens and lots of general house products such as toilet paper, paper towels, etc. Only thing we found lacking is that there seemed to be some lacking general upkeep such as lights not working. We couldn’t get the direct tv to work, but honestly that was fine. We were plenty happy to be outside for the entirety of our stay. The view is immaculate and the pool/hot tub are incredible, but again only one pool light works ;) The outdoor furniture is different than showed in pictures, what’s there now by the pool does not have cushions. Overall the property is beautiful, clean, and worked wonderfully to meet the purpose that we dreamed of for our wedding for our family. We throughly enjoyed the time we spent here!

Family Vaca

We had a great time at Mount Airy. The area is beautiful. I would recommend it as a wonderful family vacation destination. There are some things that I would address. The pool was great, sad that the infinity part of the pool didn’t work. We were looking forward to that. There were some very loose bricks around the pool that made it a hazard. We had to avoid them. The on property people came over and we did explain our concerns over some in house concerns but when we tried to reach them , we never got a response. Also there is no way to get out of the sun. Umbrellas by the pool would have been helpful.

50th Anniversary Celebration

The home is beautiful and very large. Infinity pool was amazing, we enjoyed water play, swimming and the hot tub. Wrap around decks (3 levels) with beautiful Mountain View’s from the decks & windows. We had a catered dinner one night, the kitchen is large & a chef’s dream. Granddaughters enjoyed playing on the grand piano. We grilled on the deck & had s’mores at the outdoor fireplace. Master suite is huge, beautiful shower and tub & private deck. Everyone enjoyed the home & surroundings very much! We got beautiful photos & will have wonderful memories of our week! It was so luxurious with places people could be by themselves plus large rooms for family gatherings!

Wonderful home to gather with extended family

We had a gathering of 8 adults and our 6 grandkids ( all under age 6) the last week August . Our adult kids wanted to vacation in the mountains instead of our usual beach trip and this vacation did not disappoint! The many highlights of this home for our families were the great expansive kitchen with everything we needed for food and beverage prep, the large porches & furniture for gathering, the scenic infinity pool , the picturesque landscape and a master bedroom with enormous closets big enough to house 2 port- a cribs. Our weather was fantastic so most of the time we were on the porch, pool or perusing the land. We fished, hiked, rode bikes, played Pickleball on the property’s tennis courts. We all had so much fun at Mt. Airy Farm that we only went to Asheville one day- visiting 2 parks and breweries. This venue is ideal for weddings/receptions but also works for gathering multiple couples and kids. The blender was on its last leg but otherwise the kitchen is well equipped. The pool makes beautiful memories and scenic pictures. A fence would detract so we made sure to watch the small children carefully and insist they wear flotation devices. The hot tub in the pool and the shallow areas were perfect for those learning to swim. We never had any problems and never needed the property manager or caretaker but their contact info was provided in a nice notebook with details about the pool and the house. We all agreed this house is a keeper & we plan to return.

Amazing wedding experience

We hosted our wedding at Mt Airy Farm. It was an incredible venue, breathtaking views and plenty of space for guests. We had our immediate family staying in the house and it was very comfortable for everyone. The house has a ton of amenities, from pots/pans to the sauna and hot tub. Cole was very responsive to all my questions, as was Nicole before staying at the house. Can't recommend this house more, we will be staying again!

Wonderful spacious home with absolutely magnificent views.

This home provided the perfect setting for our family gathering who were attending a wedding in Asheville. The large spacious living room, dining area and kitchen provided for a perfect venue to entertain guests. Of course the amenities, like the hot tube, sauna and tennis court were a big hit with all of our family. And, the master bedroom was incredible. Communication with the hosts was excellent. Our questions were answered promptly by Nicole and she was also very helpful providing some catering options for a small reception we held at the house after the wedding. And Cole, the on site caregiver of the property, was extremely helpful and responded quickly to all our questions and requests. And, be prepared to take a lot of photos. The views were stunning. Our stay at Mount Airy Farm provided a lifetime of memories and we hope to return for another family gathering.

Fantastic property! Spacious place for our family of 11 and sometimes as many as 20 for meals. The kids loved the hot tub and pool (even in October)! Lots of room for everyone to eat together or sit and talk on the porch or living room. Beautiful views of the mountains. The longer we stayed, the more we loved the house and grounds.

The view is breathtaking! The house accommodated 12 adults with ease. Enjoyed the Tennis courts.

Our pickle ball loving group of 12 adults loved our stay! Views from every window were beautiful. Pictures and description of propriety are representative of what it looks like. We enjoyed preparing our meals together in the large kitchen and dining area. We spent many evenings on the patio and laughing by the outdoor fireplace. The hot tub and infinity pool providing lots of hours of relaxation after playing pickleball and when we returned from our hikes! Lots to do in the area. Only negative - patio furniture and cushions need immediate attention and refreshing. House could use some deep cleaning and minor repairs but wouldn’t prevent us from renting this property again. Anytime we had an issue the property managers were easily accessible and accommodating. Stay here, you’ll love it.

The caretakers live in a separate guest house on the property and were very helpful with anything we needed (thank you).

This property is highly recommended! Definitely we’re coming back.

We stayed the whole first week of February for our wedding. The place has a beautiful scenery. This property is a place where your family or friends wants to relax, enjoy the view, and able to enjoy the other amenities. However, there are some few downside during our stay especially on our wedding day, which something that should’ve been taking care of in the first place, before we arrived. Cole, the care taker was a little helpful at first and the manager, Mark was able to handle the situation. We definitely wants to come back to this property and we just hope in our next visit it won’t happy again.
