You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Historic 8 BR Tudor on 3 1/2 Acres. Private estate and beautiful setting.

This home is a wonderful escape into history. Ask about discount for 4 night long weekends and 7 day weekly Rentals! Built in the early 1900s and updated several times, it has only had 5 owners since it's creation. Lots of updates for modern conveniences, but so many original features including wormy chestnut exposed beams, doors, and paneling...you'll feel the century of old charm. The property is very private and includes lots of outdoor activities to enjoy if you're relaxing at the house and around the property. It is one of the closest homes to downtown Asheville you'll find to accommodate larger groups .

Only 5 Miles to the Asheville Airport, 6-7 Miles to downtown Asheville, 4 miles to Blue Ridge Parkway and Biltmore Park. 5 Miles from I-40, 4 Miles to I-26, 7 Miles to Biltmore estate, and located less than 1 mile from so many restaurants, shopping, grocery stores and other nice amenities...you won't have to drive far for anything.

Pulling into the home you'll realize what a wonderful find this historic home will provide for short or extended stays Asheville, this city and surrounding region has so much to provide. Call or email with any questions. It can accommodate smaller groups who need only 2-3 Bedrooms, all the way to 8 BRs and groups of 16-18...(or more if you want to spread out on sleeper sofas and trundle beds).

A Perfect Home Base for Our Daughter’s Wedding in Mills River NC

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay during our daughter’s wedding weekend! This home beautifully combines the charm of an older house with the comfort of modern updates—especially the bathrooms, which were newly renovated and spotless.There was more than enough interior space for our whole family to relax, reconnect, and enjoy each other’s company between wedding events. The layout was perfect for both gathering together and finding a quiet spot when needed.The outdoor space was truly a highlight. From morning coffee on the porch to evening get-togethers under the stars, it gave us a peaceful and beautiful setting to create even more special memories as a family.We’re so grateful to have found this home and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend for families or groups looking for a warm, inviting, and well-equipped home in the Asheville area!

Christmas family vacation

We booked well in advance due to the stay was on Christmas. Bill was very attentive to responding to any questions I had. There was a huge hurricane that went through Asheville and he was informative about the property’s condition. No damages, just the utilities went out and a few trees. My family had a wonderful stay, it checked all the boxes as far as rooms, space, and nearby attractions like the Biltmore estates. Its truely a unique home!

If you are looking for charm & character, this is the place for you! If you are in need of accommodating a large group or family, this is your place! Our family carefully searched for a home which would be welcoming & spacious and one which wouldn’t frown upon us hosting a small event (a rehearsal dinner). After making inquiries of the host, we knew we had found the perfect place! This home is very spacious with the charm of yesteryear. Whether gathering outside around the fire or soaking in family chats in the cozy library, there was never a lack of space. The beds were very comfortable & the charming cottage was a delight to decorate for the newlyweds to spend a quick evening in before setting off for Hawai’i. The only thing lacking in this home was the occasional gnome you knew had to be hiding out somewhere on this property! Still, there were turkeys, squirrels & chipmunks to join us on the back patio for morning coffee! Our host was the most accommodating I ever had the pleasure of doing business with! (Thanks, Bill!) -The only word of caution I would make would be for guests to be aware that a few of the sets of stairs can be quite steep and a bit challenging for older guests. We had preassigned rooms prior to arrival, but did switch up to ensure older family members stayed on the main floor to avoid them having to navigate the stairs. It worked perfectly as the main floor bedroom has its own bath w/ handicapped bars. - Overall, this beautiful Tudor home is a 10 of 10!

Enough bedrooms for the entire family

My family from around the country chose Asheville as the place to spend a long weekend to celebrate Christmas together. This home has enough bedrooms to fit everyone. It definitely has historic charm!! We appreciated the christmas decorations and patio heaters around the fire pit. The homeowner was friendly, easy to contact and allowed our pets

Beautiful Home for Family Reunion

Our family had a wonderful stay at this beautiful family home! My parents, three siblings & their spouses, and our nine children found plenty of space to cook, play, rest, explore, and enjoy each others’ company. Favorites included walks to the lookout, playing in the yard, fires on the patio, spacious comfortable rooms, lots of bathrooms, and cooking together in the kitchen. Bill was an awesome host! We can’t recommend this place enough!

this was a great property for a family reunion. It is hard to find places with so many good-sized bedrooms and plenty of other rooms spaces to gather. The outside area was beautiful and inside there were all the appliances you might need and a generous collection of utensils and plates and glasses.

The property was absolutely beautiful with so much space and amenities for our family to enjoy while attending our son’s Wedding. Plenty of bedrooms/bathrooms and loved the cottage.
