The house was as stated and we particularly loved the back story of the house and property. The extra tall oak bed #1 was just like I slept on 75 years ago. Bedroom 2 was the exact same pieces as our DIL’s grandparents had. We were really amazed at the fully equipped kitchen. Even though the house has every modern convenience it is like your grandparents, for our family it was a wonderful walk down memory lane. We were able to walk to football stadium and felt safe late at night. The added bonus was an orchard full of apples along with a half dozen deer. And let’s not forget the large barn. PS just a long 2 block walk to a fantastic coffee shop and a few doors down a shop with a large range of organic products, including spices and tea leaves from even the Himalayas. There’s also a fantastic ice cream shop within walking distance hidden away. Thank you for the Apple croissants, perfect for the name of your house.

This house was perfect for our stay in the Asheville area! Mars Hill is a great little town, and you should definitely visit the coffee shop down the road. Every evening we had deer come visit the yard and munch on the apples. And there was a group of squirrels that kept us entertained running up and down the apple trees! The area was quiet and peaceful. Perfectly out of the way from city life but Only a 20 min drive into downtown Asheville!

This was my first VRBO/Evolve/PropertyContact-but-not-the-owner experience, and for that reason I wont be returning to this particular property. The communication just wasn't up to the caliber of other rental experiences. Just too many entities between the actual owners (great info about them and the property in the welcome book BTW) and VRBO - and nobody seemed to know anything or be very engaged. All that being said, it's a super cute property with lots of apple trees and wildlife - bunnies, deer. Great flowering landscaping that attracts bees, butterflies. Really beautiful and quaint spot - and super convenient to all that Mars Hill offers, as well as nearby Weaverville and Asheville. The property is absolutely as-described and filled with original pieces, but could use a comfy recliner in the living room if you're a TV watcher - I'm not. I enjoyed having morning coffee on the porch. Overall, it was comfortable enough for me for 4 nights as I visited with family who live nearby.

This is as close to perfect as it gets! Our son attended Mars Hill for college and we have stayed at many places over the years. This visit was to celebrate his girlfriend graduating. Location was perfect, the cottage is precious, literally looks like a postcard. Sprinkle in the Apple Orchard, deer frolicking (yes frolicking 😊) in the backyard and the fireflies...it was wonderful. The hosts' communication was clear and my 24 year old son commented these folks have thought of everything! Well done ladies! We thoroughly enjoyed the history and charm of your family's home!

This was the best house. It is like a step back in time. When it says it feels like Gradmas house it really does. Perfect fit for our family. The house is clean and well kept. They gave you plenty of towels and wash clothes. Hooks for hanging your towels. They leave you a snack basket and apple pastries. The beds are comfortable and we loved the outdoor seating. Mara Hill has our heart. We would definitely stay again. Thank you.
