Property Description
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.

We enjoyed our stay. Property is clean and comfortable. The owner (Joe) is very friendly and helpful. We accidentally locked ourselves out of one of the bedrooms and the issue was resolved quickly. The food, music, and other activities available at the facilities next door were an added bonus. Overall it was a great stay.

The property was perfect for our family. As well, the overall Twin Willows venue was a great location for our large family reunion. We entertained over 70 guests. Joe, Amy and LeAnn provided us great service and support.

We love the variety of spaces and sleeping arrangements for our church group. We use The Stable as our meal prep and dining area and use the other two buildings for lodging. the Main House and Stable are great for group gatherings and the Cottage works well for those who need a little more peace and quiet from the group. Ample towels and other amenities are provided. All kitchens are well-stocked. The Main House is an historic, old building with character - respect of buildings with interesting floor plans from days gone by will help you embrace this space. Terrific porch spaces. Washers and dryers are all new and work well. Great water pressure throughout. Once in bedrooms, you'll appreciate how quiet things are - no road noise. We love to eat at Smokin' Joe's on property. Joe is a gracious host.

Wedding and Family Reunion
We chose this property for our 45 people micro-wedding and family reunion. It was a wonderful venue and place to stay. We had our ceremony in the garden of the Stines House and reception at the Stable. I constantly communicated with Amy until the weekend of our stay and I communicated with Joe throughout my stay. They are wonderful hosts and were very helpful and communicative throughout the whole process.

Wedding at Twin Willows
This property is perfect for a wedding. There are plenty of bedrooms for family, friends and wedding party to enjoy an extended event. Joe and Amy were extremely helpful and always willing to answer questions at a moment’s notice. Our daughter was over the moon with how everything turned out for her special day. The chapel on-site was a big hit with the wedding guests and the grounds were so beautiful.

2024 family reunion
Awesome property for a big group. Loved the location and the 3 houses were great for various activities. The community area on the property is closer than some might like, but everyone was respectful of private areas.

Magical Wedding
We held our wedding and welcome dinner here and our wedding day was magical. It allowed all our friends to stay on property with us and offered multiple locations to host the events throughout the weekend; got married in the chapel and dinner at one of the houses. Great space!
