The ensuite bathroom in this suite offers an elegant walk-in shower. The home boasts two more king rooms, one on the upper floor and one on the lower level. The upper-level king room is a spacious suite with stunning mountain views, a sitting area, a workspace, and an adjoining extra room perfect for setting up the portable crib to keep the young ones settled. The ensuite bathroom for this room features a dual vanity and a spacious walk-in shower. The lower-level king room is a cozy and private room, with incredible natural light to wake you each morning.

Each bathroom has a starter supply of basic toiletries, hair dryer, and a stock of plush white towels set in each bedroom for your whole group. ☆☆ KITCHEN & DINING ☆☆ The beautiful and modern kitchen is fully equipped with everything you’ll need for cooking for large groups, including fun extras like a waffle maker, special popcorn bowls, dual coffee makers, and an electric kettle for tea. Complimentary teas and coffee are included, and there’s no better place to enjoy your morning cup of joe than from the sunroom or back deck with amazing views overlooking the mountains. For mealtime, you can cozy up to the breakfast area (seating for 6-7), dine in the formal dining room (seating for 9-10), or enjoy an alfresco meal on the screened-in porch (seating for 4-6). The German Bier Garden table and benches on the porch were imported from Germany and add a special touch to the mountain ambiance. ☆☆ LOUNGES ☆☆ There are several places to kick back and relax across the home, making it easy to gather as one large group or get some alone time. The grand living room on the main level is the perfect place to hang out as a group, with 4 seating areas, stunning exposed beams, and a natural stone fireplace with the convenience of turn-dial gas logs. There’s also a small library and great natural light for curling up with a good book. The sunroom is another great space to hang out and watch the beautiful mountain skyline view stretching across the entire back of the property. Or, head downstairs and discover the fun game room and TV lounge. This area provides hours of entertainment for the whole family, with a big flat-screen Smart TV, a comfy sectional sofa, and fun games including foosball and bumper pool. There’s also a kitchenette and bistro-style table here, perfect for serving snacks and drinks. ☆☆ OUTSIDE SPACE ☆☆ This stunning mountain home wouldn’t be complete without an expansive outdoor space that shows off the natural beauty of the location. You can enjoy amazing views of the mountains and valley from the entire back deck. We've got a truly luxurious hot tub that is custom-built for relaxation to aid in recovery and rest! Inside, you'll find plenty of beach towels to use for drying off. We've also stacked lightweight outdoor chairs and folding tables for your convenience that can be carried out onto the deck. Walk down from the deck and continue down the picturesque stone stairs and across the backyard into the side yard and you'll see the burbling waterfall feature and small pond as well as large stone fire pit there. We've provided chairs so you can sit back and relax to the sound of running water, the view of the mountains, and the heat of a warm fire. And we make sure there is always some stacked wood inside the shed that you are welcome to use! Although often forgotten about, the front porch is one of our favorite spots. With the view in the back, most people wouldn't think of sitting out front, but we'd recommend it! The wind passes through the trees in such a fantastic way, and this is the perfect place to enjoy it. Sit in one of four rocking Adirondack chairs or grab the hammock from the garage and set it up on the pre-hung carabiners on the trees on the island across the driveway. Please be sure to bring it back in after use to ensure it survives the elements. If you can tear yourself away from the comfort of home, there are some great spots to explore in the nearby area! You’ll be just a short drive from The Biltmore, some awesome breweries like Sierra Nevada, local restaurants, and plenty of outdoor activities like hiking, horseback riding, and even a gem mine! You could also take a day trip to one of the nearby mountain towns - Asheville, Brevard, and Hendersonville are all favorites! ★☆ Book today & let us take care of you in Mills River! ☆★ ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Ski - Close to skiing - Snowboarding nearby ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Massage ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Kitchenette - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Chef service - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 6 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 4 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Wheelchair accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Meal delivery service - Safe ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near an outlet shopping mall ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Billiards/pool table - Foosball table - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rafting nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Spelunking nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 5,000 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/78000000/78000000/77994500/77994494/1c9ba2e7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 21-acre multi-home escape with hot tub, hiking trails & waterfalls Hendersonville - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.6 Exceptional 28 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-19&endDate=2025-11-20&selected=77994494&PinnedHotelID=77994494&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102340000/102336300/102336299/bbd224dd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cardinal's Roost 7 bedroom retreat with a hot tub and fire pit Penrose - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-19&endDate=2025-11-20&selected=102336299&PinnedHotelID=102336299&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102260000/102250500/102250437/c7c239af.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Heated Pool! 85" TV, Arcade, Firepit, Fast WiFi Fletcher - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 10 Exceptional 10 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-19&endDate=2025-11-20&selected=102250437&PinnedHotelID=102250437&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99590000/99584700/99584642/030de774.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lakefront cabin & tiny home with a firepit, wet bar, washer/dryer, dock Mills River - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-19&endDate=2025-11-20&selected=99584642&PinnedHotelID=99584642&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93680000/93679600/93679511/0e5249e1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Casa Carolina Estate: Beautiful Victorian Mansion on 5 acres in Hendersonville!
