Love! Love! Love!
This is as close to perfect as it gets! Our son attended Mars Hill for college and we have stayed at many places over the years. This visit was to celebrate his girlfriend graduating. Location was perfect, the cottage is precious, literally looks like a postcard. Sprinkle in the Apple Orchard, deer frolicking (yes frolicking 😊) in the backyard and the fireflies...it was wonderful. The hosts' communication was clear and my 24 year old son commented these folks have thought of everything! Well done ladies! We thoroughly enjoyed the history and charm of your family's home!

This was the best house. It is like a step back in time. When it says it feels like Gradmas house it really does. Perfect fit for our family. The house is clean and well kept. They gave you plenty of towels and wash clothes. Hooks for hanging your towels. They leave you a snack basket and apple pastries. The beds are comfortable and we loved the outdoor seating. Mara Hill has our heart. We would definitely stay again. Thank you.

Get away
I came to Apple of the Hill with my 2 daughters. We found the house to be very homey. It reminded us of our grandparents home. The upgrades were lovely as well. I will definitely recommend your home to my family and friends

Cozy, yet spacious
We were instantly comfortable in this cozy, yet spacious 'temporary' home. It may remind you of being at your grandmothers, like it did for me. Three adults were not crowded, even with one bath, bc the second vanity/sink was a thoughtful addition. I can't think of one thing we needed that wasn't available. We would definitely consider another stay here.

Would definitely stay here again!
Great location - close to Asheville, easy walk to downtown Mars Hill, and quick (5 minute drive) to a great hike in Mars Hill. The house was very clean and had all that we needed - even welcome snacks and waters! While we were initially concerned about just having one bathroom with our two adult children, having the additional vanity outside the bathroom made it a non-issue! We loved our time as a guest in this house, and would definitely go back! Highly recommend!

Just as described....only better!
Beautifully renovated 1930's home where the family paid homage to their grandparents. Leaving some of the original walls and ceiling exposed really gives you a glimpse back into the construction of the home. A very nice welcoming letter, treats, a book giving the history of the property, pictures of their grandparents..... you really are in Grandma's kitchen. The neighborhood is quiet, very little vehicle traffic. The main town is well within walking distance and I photographed deer every morning walking through the property. 25 minutes from Asheville. This property was in fantastic shape, the linins and towels were top quality. Everything was in working order and the furnishings were some of the originals from their grandparents. Just an excellent stay! They really made sure all the smallest details were addressed. Thank you again, we will be back!! ~Dave and Elaine
