Hamersmith Hollow Retreat by AvantStay | Mountain Views
Kick back and soak in nature's symphony from the expansive wrap-around porch of this picturesque mountain retreat. There's no shortage of comfy spots to stretch out and unwind in this cozy home. You'll be treated to stunning mountain vistas right from the porch, which also provides a front-row seat to the sprawling private pond adorned with a delightful water feature.
Inside, the primary bedroom features a queen bed with a TV and ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom also has an ensuite bathroom and features a king-size bed, while a third king can be found in the final bedroom. A sleeper sofa is also available for flexible sleeping arrangements.
Chase away the chill by snuggling up to the mesmerizing glow of the gas fireplace – a perfect way to create warm memories.

Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs.

Nestled in Mars Hill, with the cosmopolitan charm of Asheville just 20 miles away, you'll relish easy access to mountain sports, family activities, and captivating experiences. Mars Hill boasts proximity to the Appalachian Trail, the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway, and a medley of national and state parks. 11 miles from the Tennessee border, it’s also known for its music and crafting scene (the Heritage Festival takes place every autumn). Take in the awe-inspiring sight of Mt. Mitchell, the eastern United States' loftiest peak, on clear days. Engage in an array of outdoor pursuits – be it the thrill of zip lining and skiing, the tranquility of hiking and cycling, or the excitement of horseback riding, whitewater rafting, and fly fishing.

Great place for a relaxing getaway
This is the place to be if you want to get away from the hubbub of the city and relax in a remote bucolic setting. The house was comfortable for our group of three older couples, except for the stairs. Oddly, the kitchen, dining area, and primary bedroom suite are on the second floor, and the two other bedrooms are on the first and third floors, so there's no avoiding stairs. If you are going to events in Asheville as we were, you have to plan extra time since it's a 25 - 30 minute drive from the house.

I'm officially a mountains girl
Hamersmith Hollow is a little piece of paradise! So quiet, so peaceful - a true escape. And also very convenient to all sorts of places and activities. I was so content to sit on the porch with my morning coffee and listen to the bullfrog symphonies. And then there's the amazing and responsive rental company, Pure Carolina. I have NEVER had a better rental experience. Their directions to the house are clear, their instructions for accessing the property are fail-proof... Every little detail is addressed. We will be staying here again, without a doubt.

It’s a beautiful and spacious house. A little outdated and lots of clutter.
Kitchen small for such a big house. Very tranquil and relaxing. We enjoyed the second floor terrace. The address not found on google. We had an anniversary and my daughter was not able to send us flowers
All in all a good and comfortable place to vacation with friends and family. The phone reception not very good depending on your carrier

Quaint country home
We had a wonderful time at the Hammersmith home. We ran into a few issues at check-in, but the property manager was very responsive and addressed everything immediately. Our family and friends had a great time enjoying the view from the front porch and the surrounding areas. We hope to be back to Asheville and the area again!

Beautiful Mountain Escape Close to Ashville
This beautiful family home was full of memories. We can only imagine the many happy memories shared by the two generations that enjoyed family time here. The décor testifies to the good times that were experience here by this family and we felt as if we were sharing those times while we on the porch listening to the bull frogs in the pond below. The kitchen was large but the dining area was little cramped. The main room downstairs was great for watching TV. The bedrooms were adequate for us but short on closet and luggage space. The property could use a facelift but that may be hard to do and maintain the historical nostalgia that is so much a part of this home. Our best time here was sitting on the large porch during a rain shower.

Very therapeutic!
The property was just as advertised. It's truly a beautiful and very relaxing setting. The porch, table, kitchen and bed/bath set-up worked perfectly for the six of us. My only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. We all mentioned that we'd miss it after we left.

Scenic setting
Bucolic view of the hillside. Enjoyed the porches and floating in the kayak on the pond.
