Great location for our large family! Joe was great to rent from and very friendly and responsive. Dinner and live music Friday on property was perfect!

This property is perfect for a wedding. There are plenty of bedrooms for family, friends and wedding party to enjoy an extended event. Joe and Amy were extremely helpful and always willing to answer questions at a moment’s notice. Our daughter was over the moon with how everything turned out for her special day. The chapel on-site was a big hit with the wedding guests and the grounds were so beautiful.

Twin Willows has been where my church in Pittsburgh, PA have stayed for the past 2 years when we've come down to Mars Hill, NC to do mission work with the Community Housing Coalition of Madison County. Joe and the Twin Willows property have been ideal for our group--it met all of our needs, from gathering spaces, to sleeping arrangements, to plenty of amenities for food and such. We adore Joe and the Twin Willows property and would highly recommend anyone staying here!

Awesome property for a big group. Loved the location and the 3 houses were great for various activities. The community area on the property is closer than some might like, but everyone was respectful of private areas.

We held our wedding and welcome dinner here and our wedding day was magical. It allowed all our friends to stay on property with us and offered multiple locations to host the events throughout the weekend; got married in the chapel and dinner at one of the houses. Great space!

Everything worked out well for our family of 28, ranging from 1-100 in age!
We celebrated our Mother’s 100th birthday in the large space in the Stable and all met for breakfast in the Stine House!
We highly recommend Twin Willows and hope to return!

Everything was great, convenient to anything you need. Smoking Joe Lasher provides some great food right there at the house.

If you are coming to this area, then you MUST consider Twin Willows as your place to stay. The 3 houses were absolutely perfect for our Cousin's reunion. Spacious, clean, well stocked, and comfortable with plenty of room for everyone to spend time together and still have a quiet space to rest in the evenings. We loved having the Stables as a gathering spot for coffee, meals and evening drinks as well as the little "bar" down the hill for cornhole and hanging out together after being out for the day. There was nothing we wanted for; all houses were well stocked and our host, Joe, was beyond helpful, super responsive and considerate with providing suggestions on things to do in the area. We will definitely be back!!

We loved staying here and celebrating our intimate wedding with our friends and family. The property is beautiful, and it was perfect to be able to spread out our group across the three buildings. And the chapel was the cutest little spot to have our ceremony. Everything was very clean with plenty of towels and extra amenities.
The fire pit is amazing but keep in mind that the whole place is situated on the side of a hill so anyone with physical difficulties may struggle in between the buildings or to get up to the fire pit spot.
We would definitely recommend this place - it was also super convenient to town but felt remote at the same time. The property is beautiful with plenty of places to explore or sit down and hang out. Thank you for having us, Joe/Twin Willows!

We were a group of about 15 friends, including couples, families, single people, a young child, and a dog. We had a fabulous time at Twin Willows!
Property: The three houses were absolutely perfect for our group. People could be up late talking in the Stables while people could go to sleep early in the other two houses. The Stables definitely had the best large common space for group dinners and hangouts. The whole estate is absolutely gorgeous and we loved the view off of the patio there! No complaints about the facilities or the rooms.
Location: It's around a 20-minute drive to get into Asheville, but we didn't mind that. It was incredibly convenient to have coffee, Ingles, Waffle House, etc. so close to the property; it absolutely removed all stress about having food. You can easily walk to the Mars Hill University campus and access downtown and a nice running path from there (you're only on the road for about 500 feet before you get to a sidewalk).
Joe was extremely responsive to a few requests we had and was a great host!

We rented all 3 buildings for a 20 person family reunion. Facility was GREAT for multi-family gathering. Joe, the new owner, was GREAT and very responsive to deal with.
Only minor surprise was the big kitchen and eating room is in the Stables - not the Stines House (that sleeps 14). The Stines kitchen is too small to pull off big event. The kitchen and eating area in the Stables worked very well. All worked for us, but if we hadn't rented the Stables too, we would have been disappointed.
Strongly recommend the estate and the owners.
