About this property
Dog Friendly🐶Close to Sierra Nevada/Biltmore, Between Asheville, Hville, Brevard
Mills River Retreat is a Hike, Bike, and Brewery base camp nestled perfectly between Asheville, Hendersonville, and Brevard, NC! We are minutes from Asheville Regional Airport and Sierra Nevada Brewery. It’s the perfect location for day trips to Biltmore and Downtown Asheville, hiking in Pisgah National Forest, brewery and winery hopping, and so much more! There’s a road bike route that passes right in front of the house, and world class mountain biking is minutes away. Mills River Retreat sleeps 6-or 8 with the pull out sofa located in the upstairs Master den.
We love dogs! 🤍🐶🤍 2 dogs maximum are welcome with pre approval and a non refundable pet fee of $100. The backyard is fenced with a large grassy area to play (but not guaranteed to be escape proof-please keep an eye on your pets and children at all times.) Always pick up after your pups, and please notify us immediately if there are any accidents or damage 🤍
The open concept living/kitchen/dining area is the perfect place to gather. A locally made farmhouse table has seating for 8, and there’s a game table, home bar, and two of the comfiest leather sofas ever for lounging. An electric fireplace just below the large screen Smart TV provides the perfect cozy ambiance. The kitchen is well appointed and is open to the living and dining rooms. It has stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher, huge farmhouse sink, and is well stocked with cooking pots, pans, utensils, and starter spices. Begin your morning with fresh brewed coffee from the Coffee Bar! It is set up with whole bean coffee and grinder, or pods if you prefer the Keurig. Creamer and sweetener are also provided.
The entire upstairs is a spacious master suite with a beautifully tiled master bath and walk in shower. The master has a King bed and large walk in closet. A separate den upstairs has a Queen sleeper sofa. Downstairs has two bedrooms, one Queen room and second room with two Twins. There are smart TVs in each bedroom, living room, and den with Samsung TV and high speed internet to enjoy your favorite streaming apps. Green tea cooling memory foam mattresses and premium bedding make each room its own cozy private retreat. The bathroom downstairs has a tub/shower combo and is in the hall between the two rooms.
You are welcome to use the washer and dryer located in the detached garage. The garage can also be used to store your gear during your stay, but do not park vehicles inside the garage. There is an owner’s apartment located on the far side of the detached garage. This unit is a completely separate living space and is rarely used. We will let you know if we will be occupying it during your stay. The apartment and firepit located on the far side of the property are off limits to guests.
There are keypad locks on the garage and side entry door on the driveway side (just look for the Welcome sign). We have a no contact check in and your key code will be sent to you prior to check in.
We have put a lot of love and thought into creating a comfortable mountain retreat and gathering place. We hope you enjoy making memories here with family and friends!
