The house was so clean and adorable. Additionally, the location of the house was perfect for its proximity to downtown and Mars Hill. My family loved it, and it took me back to my youth when we used to visit my mom's family in Wise, VA. Even though there is only one bathroom, they have a second sink with counter space outside of the bedrooms which is great. Thank you for having everything we need too. The towels were clean and fluffy.

Very nice stay

The property was clean and cozy. The beds were very comfortable. It’s a short walk to town and coffee shop. It’s a nice small town and it was beautiful in the Fall. The host was very helpful and communicative regarding the area and how it was affected by the hurricane. Would definitely stay again.

Apple on the Hill was the perfect getaway! We loved the location: scenic view close to town but still far from neighbors The house had everything we needed, including the coffee maker and coffee! The decor and antiques were lovely. Loved the story of the family and so glad Kathy and Becky were able to keep this treasure. Great communication too. Not too far from Biltmore Estate.

Thanksgiving

This place was so cute. It was super clean and I loved how the historical parts of the house remained while making it modern at the same time. It had everything that we needed for the stay. The bathroom is a bit small, but no problem for a vacation stay. The beds were comfortable and although it was very cold while we were there, the house was toasty. I hope that it will be available when we are back in Mars Hill again.
