Take a hike on our land or have a family tennis tournament while others cheer you on from the court balcony. The luxurious master bedroom is expansive with a sauna, extra large tub/rainfall shower and a private terrace overlooking the pool and the beautiful valley. Sharing meals is always special here as guests and family gather in the kitchen around the huge island while breakfast or dinner is being prepared. Evenings you might light up the grill off the vast deck area or sit just outside, share a drink and watch another magical sunset!

Cole is the best!
My wife and I ended up getting married in the midst of Hurricane Helene and what could have ended as a catastrophic and devastating wedding weekend was made memorable with the support of the groundskeeper Cole! Cole went out of his way to not only have the grounds and home BEAUTIFUL while fighting the winds and debris from the hurricane, he was active, attentive, and crucial to all of our folks getting home safely by lending us personal gas cans to go down and retrieve gasoline for cars. Shea and I cannot begin to express the gratitude we have for he and his wife Sarai, especially in the midst of the crisis that was occuring in Asheville and surrounding areas. We could not encourage others more to rent this home to stay or as we did for our wedding venue. You will be supported and cared for in an unimaginable way.

Best Vacation Ever!
Incredibly beautiful location which can be enjoyed looking any direction. The infinity pool is amazing; safe for little ones with a shallow area, deeper for lap swimmers. We enjoyed both pickle ball and tennis on the perfectly kept court. The kitchen was large and full of all supplies. Our family of 10 adults and kids from 3 months to ten had plenty of space. We generally like to visit different areas of the country but we will return here.

Perfect for Our Intimate Wedding
My husband and I booked Mount Airy Farm for a long weekend and held our wedding and reception at the property. We cannot say enough about how wonderful our stay was. The views and grounds were better than we could have imagined and was the perfect setting for our wedding day. The house was spacious and had more than enough room for all of our family. The house has everything you could need, especially in the kitchen. We didn't leave the property all weekend because there was plenty to do between the infinity pool and tennis/basketball court. The caretakers on the property were very helpful and sweet and were prompt to answer any questions we had. Thank you Mount Airy Farm for giving us our perfect wedding weekend!

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.

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.
