Family-friendly holiday rentals in Mars Hill

This is our third year coming to Karen’s home and it’s simply amazing. The views and location are stunning. We will definitely be back for year 4 next year!

What a wonderful stay! The yard is perfect for relaxing and for our pups. This stay has everything you could need. It is only a short drive to Asheville, and there is an Ingles market super close. Beth was very friendly and a great host. We would absolutely come back and stay here again :)

Great place, easy access to main roads. Close enough to downtown not a long drive but far enough you don’t have to worry about traffic.

House was extremely clean and very secluded (which we enjoyed). It is a little bit off the highway, but a great property for two families. Beds were comfy and plenty of space to relax after a long hike!

Ren’s place was awesome! The house is secluded enough to feel liek you’re away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, but not super off the beaten path. Ren was super friendly as well and provided good instructions for getting to and from the house. The hot tub was really nice as well and didn’t require a bunch of steps to use. Would definitely go back for a weekend away trip!

Great location for a quick family weekend get away. Loved the scenic location, wildlife, and sound of the creek from the comfy porch. Listing as described, kitchen clean and functional. Beds/pillows clean and comfortable. Location close to Asheville and local attractions.

The house was beautiful and comfortable. It had snowed the day before we arrived, so we did not use the deck, but it was lovely. The beds were comfy, and the pillows were the best I've had at any Airbnb. The private road to the house is narrow and winding, but Google Maps worked great to get us there. A portion of the road had washed out during Hurricane Helene, so I was glad I had all wheel drive to get through that section. The house was well provisioned with essential spices and such.

This is by far the best Airbnb that I’ve ever stayed in. CLEAN. BEAUTIFUL. PRIVATE. ROOMY. COMFY. TASTEFUL. UNIQUE. This property is in the perfect location- an extremely quiet space that is close to it all. The home is exactly like the photos, if not better! The deck is AMAZING. Beautiful garden and creek down the driveway. 10/10. Book it right now.

Smithson’s place was perfect for us. Very clean and cozy! We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen that had full pots and pans and spices too! He was so kind to help me with a package debacle and always fast and nice responses. He made us feel at home and welcome. We enjoyed playing basketball on his side of the fence. Very dog friendly and also quiet. I enjoyed reading in the porch every morning with my coffee. Was also close to everything we wanted to go do! Highly recommend!

I cannot recommend this place enough!! First off the privacy and the view was spectacular. We were greeted by the cutest dogs! We were able to rest and enjoy the fire pit while lying on the hammock. And the host took us around to see his goats, horses and dogs! It was so enjoyable! I will recommend it to anyone who needs to escape from the city life!

The birds nest was perfect for our weekend trip to Asheville. The house was very clean and organized. Had everything we needed, plenty of towels and a perfect location. When you are on the patio or walking through the garden you understand why it is named “little bird”. Just loved it.

Loved staying in this unique house with my family! The mountain roads to get there could be a little intimidating for someone who has never really driven in the mountains before (I’m originally from FL), but you can adapt quickly. The bed upstairs was ridiculously comfortable, the house was clean, the area was very peaceful/quiet, and you’re fairly close to everything. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Absolutely lovely. Michael was a phone call away when I had questions, concerns or needed help. Perfect location for Botanical gardens, Farmers Market at UNC and walking to downtown Asheville. Loved my stay!

Absolutely worth checking this place out. Quintessential WNC, down to the fireflies peppering the field below. Very beautifully styled home with unique spaces to enjoy where you are.

We absolutely loved staying here! The home was a short drive or uber ride from Asheville, was easy to find, and felt super private. The outdoor space was lovely for drinking coffee in the morning, there was more than enough space for my partner and myself, and the bed was super comfy. I used the downstairs living room as my dressing room as it had two big mirrors and was off the bathroom, and we cozied up on the upstairs loft futon to watch our shows in the evening. Great art, plants, coffee, and vibes! We were genuinely sad to leave. Would certainly visit again. Would recommend the Local Joint for brunch during your stay!

Great cozy cottage. Loved the trail to walk my dog. The place was very clean . The host was extremely responsive. All around a great place to stay.

Beautiful property and amazing location!

Great house and great hosts. Thanks.

Great cabin! Perfect for what we needed on our AT hike. Close to the trail heads, clean, and cozy

A pristine home in an amazing private community. Full equipped with kitchen, bath, and extras. Always great recommendations and responsive to questions. Highly recommend for families that enjoy nature and privacy.

This was our second stay with Jody and Shaun. They are the nicest hosts and we loved our cabin with its private porch looking at the woods. Perfect for a couples romantic getaway. They were almost finished with the construction of their pool but the fire pit area was completed. They are doing everything first rate so it will be fantastic when it’s done. We hope to be back again dome day. .

We had a great time at the Lazy Bear Lodge! It was so nice to be able to relax and unwind for the weekend surrounded by the peaceful mountains. Lovely home and equipped with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Thank you guys for a wonderful time!

This is the fourth time I have stayed at Carolyn and Van’s. They go above and beyond to welcome and support. Everything I needed. Great view. Grateful.

Josh was very flexible and responsive for a last minute stay. The backyard is beautiful and we felt right at home. Josh also gave lots of great recommendations. We really enjoyed our stay in Asheville!
