Watch the sun come up over the neighboring cornfield each morning at this beautifully situated home in Mills River. Whether your plans involve hiking, fishing, or driving the Blue Ridge Parkway, this is a wonderful home base for your adventures in Western North Carolina.

This single-story home enjoys a particularly lovely setting in small-town Mills River, where it sits within earshot of church bells across the cornfield. Here in town, you'll have easy access to local breweries, restaurants, and shops within a mile or two. When you're ready to get out and explore, you can meet up with the Blue Ridge Parkway at the North Carolina Arboretum (10 miles), make a day of it in downtown Hendersonville (10 miles) or Asheville (19 miles), or treat yourself to some of the nation's best hiking, mountain biking, tubing, and kayaking nearby.

Spend a morning here and you'll quickly understand why the homeowner's family has resided on this road for over 200 years. Step out into the spacious backyard, watch the fog blanket the cornfield before quickly dissipating, and set the table on the deck for an alfresco breakfast. In the evenings, you can light the gas grill for summer barbecues, join your kids for games of tag in the fenced yard, and roast marshmallows around the firepit as the sun begins to set.

The home's interior is comfortable and inviting, offering a light-filled living room, an adjacent den with a smart TV and Roku, and a well-equipped eat-in kitchen. Sleep soundly in three bedrooms and enjoy the comforts of central air conditioning, a private washer/dryer, and complimentary WiFi.

We were so happy with this home! We were four people (two adults and two kids) and the space was perfect for what we needed. We were basically only at the home in the evenings after being out all day- however it was spacious enough for us all to relax and unwind. The three bedrooms were great sizes and very comfortable with more than enough bedding/pillows/towels etc. The home was extremely clean and well maintained. The kitchen was large and had everything we needed and more in terms of kitchen items. We loved the location- we were a couple minutes to ingles and several breweries. It took us just a little over 20 minutes to get to dupont and pisgah to hike every day. We didn’t spend much time outside in the back- however there is a nice fire pit with chairs that looked inviting. The vacasa staff was super prompt in responding to any outreach and the checking in and out was quick and easy. We will definitely book again on our next trip!

Very Good except a few small things....

Overall, very Happy with our stay! Very clean. Only concerns were moderate ants in several rooms. Would have liked additional paper goods. Ran out of TP, Kleenex, and paper towels very quickly.
