Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Mills River

Smithson provided a very comfortable cottage for our family to stay for the weekend. He was a wonderful host and very helpful with everything we needed. We would recommend his cottage for anyone visiting Asheville!

Absolutely delightful and classy space. Very luxurious and lots of tasteful details relevant to the locale, such as a framed map of the Blue Ridge Parkway and a copy of Grandma Gatewood's Walk. Check out procedure was very smooth and effortless.

We absolutely loved staying at April’s place! We brought our 2 kids and 2 dogs and everyone had more than enough space. The view is beautiful, the house couldn’t have been cleaner, and April was so responsive to messages. We will for sure be back!!

We came to Vincent’s countryside Airbnb and with our 2 and 4 year old girls. It’s so beautiful and they’ve upgraded some of the furniture since the pictures were taken, e.g., the kitchen table. I wish I could have read all day on the wrap around porch while viewing the surroundings. The girls loved watching the cows graze on the grass. For those with little ones, we’d recommend the Park at Flat Rock (huge park with bathrooms, a fun playground, and lots of walking paths). We’d also recommend The Arboretum, which was a pretty place to walk around. Lastly, Sierra Nevada Restaurant and Tap Room is great for all ages. There’s play areas for kids, which made it a top notch place for us. Back to Vincent’s place, it was so homey and had comfy beds. We can’t wait to come back!

Dawn was an amazing host, super responsive, great communicator. the place was very secluded but also super close to DuPont, Brevard and all sorts of fun things. it was well equipped in terms of kitchen, towels etc. really enjoyed our stay

I really loved staying in Liz’s cottage. It was so peaceful and private. A perfect home base for our girl’s trip to the North Carolina mountains. The little stream that runs behind the cottage was one of our favorite parts. A great place to have some quiet time in the morning. Liz was also so responsive and helpful to the questions that I had. I cannot recommend enough.

we loved this little house! it was perfectly located between Brevard & Hendersonville. the neighborhood felt safe for us. (2 elderly sisters) The beds were very comfortable. and the house was stocked with everything we needed. and given the opportunity, we'd stay here again. Jerica was a wonderful host and very quick to respond to any questions I had. Highly recommend. this sweet little house!

To say this spot was a gem is an understatement. I have stayed in places that have cost 3x this much in far more exotic places that didnt come close to the accomadating and kind nature of these 2 hosts. The home was beautifully clean and well kept and the garage was such a bonus for my situation of why i was there. I will make it a point to book with them whenever i am in the area even if im farther away.

The cabin was lovely and we had a great time there . Communication with owners was easy and prompt. The cabin is hidden in the mountains , but easy to find and with good access . We felt safe . The cabin is 100 years old but beautifully renewed , without taking the feeling that you are in a traditional mountain cabin . We also enjoyed the nearby community and the kind people living in the area . We loved the stay and we plan to return .

We loved our stay here! The studio was just as advertised and easy to find. The kitchen was clean and had everything we needed to do our own cooking for the week. They provided enough soap and such for us to get started and we only really had to bring more toilet paper. Otherwise everything was there that we needed. We loved the games that they had there for us to use and the snacks were perfect too. We will definitely be looking at staying here again.

What a wonderful little place to stay. Private, clean, and close enough to town. Some parts of the cottage (pool, bathroom, and part of kitchen) were recently renovated and were even nicer than the photos. Harry was very responsive with any questions. It was a pleasure staying here and I hope to visit again.

Our family felt right at home at Michael's A-frame. My husband commented that it felt as though we had stayed there before, and it really had. It has every amenity and creature comfort you could want or need, including a nicely stocked spice cabinet, plenty of linens, board games and puzzles, and a place to do laundry. Michael was friendly and helpful. Our family had an awesome time, and we hope to be back to enjoy the property in the summer months!

We enjoyed our stay! The space fit our needs for 5 adults and we enjoyed utilizing the backyard space.

This was our second stay we have stayed on both sides of the Airbnb and we absolutely loved them both it was peaceful and relaxing just what we needed 😊

Wow this place was absolutely amazing the pool and the hot tub were definitely the highlight of the stay but the house was also very homey and clean and it’s was a fun time

It was lovely, the communications with the manager were perfect and we enjoyed our stay there very much. Linens could use a little refreshing, however.

Very clean and comfortable home. The kitchen was one of the best stocked kitchens I have seen at an air bnb. The air conditioner quit working, I notified them and hey had someone there within fifteen minutes. Would stay there again.

I absolutely loved staying here! It was the perfect, peaceful escape I was hoping for. The view was incredible and the house is very cute. I loved the deck, and getting to wake up and end my day listening to birds and seeing the mountains. I will absolutely stay here again!

Beautiful quiet retreat space. Host was very informative with instructions on getting to the location and where to find the amenities. It’s a must stay.

This place is a dream. So peaceful and serene, immersed in nature. Plenty of privacy yet accessible to Asheville and not too remote. I loved taking a bath outside in the beautiful tub, and the pour over coffee in the morning was great. The place feels modern without sacrificing the charm of a cabin in the woods. Thank you so much Christina for a beautiful stay and for being so accommodating and communicative. We can't wait to come back!

If you look at the photos and read all of Catherine's messages (she sends a lot of emails with helpful information and even a video on how to work the wood-powered hot tub) then you will be ready to know everything about this beautiful place. She goes above and beyond to welcome you and make it a true retreat from the world. This is a bit nicer (i.e. higher rate) than AirBNBs that I sometimes get on a family vacation but it was a great treat for my husband and I for a romantic getaway- worth it!

Had a weekend getaway from the coast to the mountains. Cynthia’s place was spotlessly clean and spacious. It was nicely decorated and reflected her personality; it wasn’t sterile or generic which made it feel welcoming. The space was a perfect size for my husband me. The bed was so comfortable my husband liked it better than our Sleep Number Bed. Would have loved to have spent time on the deck but the weather didn’t permit it. The location made for easy access to Asheville, Lake Lure and Maggie Valley.

Big backyard was perfect for the dogs. The Cottage was just as described Very clean with everything we needed for the weekend. We contacted Brandon once for broken blowdryer and he offered to run one over in a couple hours. Very responsive and accommodating. We will stay again

We really enjoyed our stay at Amanda's cabin! It was so peaceful to eat outside on the deck while soaking up the beautiful mountain view! The cabin had everything we needed including dishes including a well stocked kitchen. The only thing that might be helpful for other renters to know is that the parking area is tight and you need to be comfortable backing out of the steep drive down by the house. We did not need 4-wheel drive to get in or out of it, but we were here in June. There is a parking area at the top, but it would be a decent walk to carry bags, etc down to the house. It was also tight for us to turn around up there but doable in our Ford Explorer. If we had driven our Dodge Ram 2500, we would not have been able to turn around up there, and we would've had to back out a very long gravel drive down to the road. This does not impact my five star review. Amanda is an amazing host! We would definitely stay here again!
