Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Mills River

Smithson provided a very comfortable cottage for our family to stay for the weekend. He was a wonderful host and very helpful with everything we needed. We would recommend his cottage for anyone visiting Asheville!

We absolutely loved staying at April’s place! We brought our 2 kids and 2 dogs and everyone had more than enough space. The view is beautiful, the house couldn’t have been cleaner, and April was so responsive to messages. We will for sure be back!!

Absolutely delightful and classy space. Very luxurious and lots of tasteful details relevant to the locale, such as a framed map of the Blue Ridge Parkway and a copy of Grandma Gatewood's Walk. Check out procedure was very smooth and effortless.

We came to Vincent’s countryside Airbnb and with our 2 and 4 year old girls. It’s so beautiful and they’ve upgraded some of the furniture since the pictures were taken, e.g., the kitchen table. I wish I could have read all day on the wrap around porch while viewing the surroundings. The girls loved watching the cows graze on the grass. For those with little ones, we’d recommend the Park at Flat Rock (huge park with bathrooms, a fun playground, and lots of walking paths). We’d also recommend The Arboretum, which was a pretty place to walk around. Lastly, Sierra Nevada Restaurant and Tap Room is great for all ages. There’s play areas for kids, which made it a top notch place for us. Back to Vincent’s place, it was so homey and had comfy beds. We can’t wait to come back!

Awesome oasis in tree-covered canopy! We stayed at the airstream more then we ventured out! We loved the outdoor area and even took a nap on the sofa! We took numerous dips in the hot tub and grilled out! We loved the tree-lighted areas indoors and very detail has been thought out! Thank you for a wonderful getaway and would definitely recommend to others! Loved tubing with Brevard Tubing .3 miles away! Hiked to waterfalls in DuPont State Park. Well worth it! Beautiful! Walked in downtown Brevard to shop. A must!

we loved this little house! it was perfectly located between Brevard & Hendersonville. the neighborhood felt safe for us. (2 elderly sisters) The beds were very comfortable. and the house was stocked with everything we needed. and given the opportunity, we'd stay here again. Jerica was a wonderful host and very quick to respond to any questions I had. Highly recommend. this sweet little house!

To say this spot was a gem is an understatement. I have stayed in places that have cost 3x this much in far more exotic places that didnt come close to the accomadating and kind nature of these 2 hosts. The home was beautifully clean and well kept and the garage was such a bonus for my situation of why i was there. I will make it a point to book with them whenever i am in the area even if im farther away.

Great spot and a short drive from downtown Brevard . Peaceful , serene , and inviting property ! We will be back !

We stayed at the Glenna for a mini honeymoon with two pups and loved it. It's in a secluded area with a few neighbors, which is exactly what we wanted. An short and easy drive to Asheville, but we found we enjoyed visiting the Arden/Fletcher area as well for food and hikes. The drive up to the cabin is beautiful with plenty of twisty curves as you would expect in the mountains, but a very enjoyable drive. (As of May 2025 the directions may mislead you due to a road closure, you'll go through it just a bit to turn in front of a very beautiful white church with a creek in front of it.) We spent most nights outside with a fire by the creek making smores or enjoying the quiet nature. Our dogs loved sniffing about everywhere they could find, especially our nightly walks around the property. We had a power outage and Larry was nice enough to stop by and drop some lights for us and Courtney left us some beautiful Asheville mugs. A wonderful cabin and area, we would definitely visit again!

This is my second time staying at this fantastic spot, and it was just as great as the first. They are wonderful hosts, the place is a real hidden gem, and the community has so much to offer. It certainly won't be my last time here!

What a wonderful little place to stay. Private, clean, and close enough to town. Some parts of the cottage (pool, bathroom, and part of kitchen) were recently renovated and were even nicer than the photos. Harry was very responsive with any questions. It was a pleasure staying here and I hope to visit again.

Our family felt right at home at Michael's A-frame. My husband commented that it felt as though we had stayed there before, and it really had. It has every amenity and creature comfort you could want or need, including a nicely stocked spice cabinet, plenty of linens, board games and puzzles, and a place to do laundry. Michael was friendly and helpful. Our family had an awesome time, and we hope to be back to enjoy the property in the summer months!

Our mission team was in the area working with Hammer and Heart. We stayed at this house based on location, number it could sleep and the neighborhood. Checkin was extremely easy, house was easy to find. While there, the A/C broke. Nothing that anyone could foresee. Amanda was responsive by immediately hopping into action by sending fans to try to cool the house until the HVAC person could get there to fix. Amanda stayed on top of the problem until she knew the A/C was fixed. Thanks for the hospitality of sharing your house so we could help people in the area.

This was our second stay we have stayed on both sides of the Airbnb and we absolutely loved them both it was peaceful and relaxing just what we needed 😊

Wow this place was absolutely amazing the pool and the hot tub were definitely the highlight of the stay but the house was also very homey and clean and it’s was a fun time

This stay showed us why we always prefer when the rental is owned by a person and not a big company, Trace was super responsive and easy to work with our entire stay. Location was fantastic and it was super easy to get to all the things in ashville we wanted to while still being in a home that was quiet and relaxing.

Daniel's place was an oasis in middle of a busy area. The convince factor is excellent. Plenty of restaurants, close to airport & interstate, close to national forest and a Walmart nearby for any needs. Given that description, one would think this place is in busy suburbia....and it is, but you would never know it. Beautiful wooded and gated neighborhood with a pond, cute homes, safe and walkable. Really can't beat this location. Would not hesitate to book in future.

The Chalet was absolutely perfect for my family. It was peaceful and comfortable. It was clean and spacious. We were close to The Biltmore and downtown. There was always something to do. Mornings and evenings were wonderful sitting outside in peace and quiet.

This place is a dream. So peaceful and serene, immersed in nature. Plenty of privacy yet accessible to Asheville and not too remote. I loved taking a bath outside in the beautiful tub, and the pour over coffee in the morning was great. The place feels modern without sacrificing the charm of a cabin in the woods. Thank you so much Christina for a beautiful stay and for being so accommodating and communicative. We can't wait to come back!

If you look at the photos and read all of Catherine's messages (she sends a lot of emails with helpful information and even a video on how to work the wood-powered hot tub) then you will be ready to know everything about this beautiful place. She goes above and beyond to welcome you and make it a true retreat from the world. This is a bit nicer (i.e. higher rate) than AirBNBs that I sometimes get on a family vacation but it was a great treat for my husband and I for a romantic getaway- worth it!

Had a lovely few days at Casita Blanca! Beautifully finished and thoughtfully designed, with all the little finishing touches that you could want. Honestly, I’d live here! It’s that gorgeous and homey

Had a weekend getaway from the coast to the mountains. Cynthia’s place was spotlessly clean and spacious. It was nicely decorated and reflected her personality; it wasn’t sterile or generic which made it feel welcoming. The space was a perfect size for my husband me. The bed was so comfortable my husband liked it better than our Sleep Number Bed. Would have loved to have spent time on the deck but the weather didn’t permit it. The location made for easy access to Asheville, Lake Lure and Maggie Valley.

Big backyard was perfect for the dogs. The Cottage was just as described Very clean with everything we needed for the weekend. We contacted Brandon once for broken blowdryer and he offered to run one over in a couple hours. Very responsive and accommodating. We will stay again

The bath house and the sauna exceeded my expectations. Trust the photos. Very communicative and friendly hosts. I feel more relaxed and centered after my stay.
