Historic Estate Property with Wooded Escapes, Views, & Event Spaces on 14 Acres

Welcome to "Twin Willows," an exquisite estate property located in the heart of the North Carolina mountains. Our estate features three distinct and beautifully appointed homes, situated on 14 pristine mountain acres with walking trails, a bonfire area, mountain views, and a rolling creek.

The historic Stines House, with its seven bedrooms and four bathrooms, is the centerpiece of our estate. This 100-year-old gem has been lovingly restored and can sleep up to 14 guests.

Next to the Stines House is the charming Cascade Cottage, featuring two bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms that comfortably accommodates up to four guests.

Lastly, The Stables is a renovated barn and stable home with two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and rustic-chic decor.

Our estate offers a perfect mix of privacy and convenience, as we're just a short walk from Mars Hill University and downtown Mars Hill businesses, including restaurants, coffee shops, a brewery, shopping, and more. Twin Willows is also located just 25 minutes north of Asheville, NC, which means you'll have easy access to an array of outdoor adventures like hiking, skiing, rafting, zip-lining, and exploring the Blue Ridge Parkway. If you're looking for artisan shopping and crafts, you're just minutes away from the best local options.
But that's not all!

Twin Willows also features private event space that's perfect for family weddings, rehearsal dinners, and other events. Book the entire estate and spend your special event weekend at Twin Willows.

No matter what brings you to the mountains, Twin Willows is the perfect vacation rental destination for making unforgettable memories with your loved ones. Book your stay today and experience the ultimate mountain getaway!

Your vacation home is located on the beautiful 14-acre Twin Willows Estate, which is also home to The Smokin’ Joe Lasher Kitchen and The Cabin at Twin Willows. These popular local spots are completely separate from the rental homes, with their own dedicated spaces, but share the same driveway entrance.

Guests often find this to be a delightful bonus to their stay! Just a short stroll down the hill, you can enjoy freshly prepared meals, local craft beer and wine, hand-spun milkshakes, smoothies, and more. The public areas also feature lawn games, live music, and seasonal events such as outdoor movie nights.

Of course, when you’re ready to relax, your private residence offers a peaceful retreat—perfect for unwinding after a day of fun. Catering options from The Smokin’ Joe Lasher Kitchen are also available, making it easy to enjoy great food without leaving the comfort of your home-away-from-home.

Whether you choose to join in the festivities or simply enjoy the quiet beauty of the estate, Twin Willows offers the best of both worlds.
