Recent Mills River vacation rental reviews

This home was perfect and absolutely beautiful!!
Laura B. | May 2025
The best word to describe this house is stunning. We opened the front door and we were blown away by the view. We spend a lot of time in Asheville and the surrounding areas, and waterfront views are hard to come by! The wall to wall windows and the thoughtful design and color-ways brought the outdoors in while the amazing back deck brought indoors out. We spent so much time relaxing on that back deck. The kitchen was fully stocked with all of the cookware and even bakeware we needed, and even had things like oil, herbs, and spices. The little butlers pantry had a microwave and a couple other countertop appliances. Speaking of appliances, we were truly impressed with the quality of the subzero fridge, wolf cooktop, and double oven. The bedrooms were nicely sized and comfortable. There was more than enough room for everyone. The additional bedrooms and lounge area upstairs made sure that there was space for everyone. The bathrooms were spacious and well designed. The heated seats/bidet toilet seats were a thoughtful touch. We had high standards going to stay at this property and every one was met or exceeded. This house felt luxurious and so inviting; we felt right at home. There were so many little touches that made our stay even easier (and safer which helps with kids around) like laundry baskets in each room (not to mention the huge laundry room), luggage racks, dark-activated nightlights in the hallways, and fire-suffocating blanket in the kitchen. Communication was quick and any questions were answered in a timely manner. We really enjoyed our stay here and the location was perfect! 30 minutes into Asheville and only 5-10 minutes to grocery stores, restaurants, and breweries/cideries in the area. We also noticed it was really close to the airport. We would stay here again and definitely also recommend to a friend! 10/10!
