We had a wonderful stay at the Stines House on Twin Willows in Mars Hill NC. The hosts were welcoming and the historic house more than adequate for us. The grounds provided activities and hikes for the young and young at heart.

Another Ideal Stay
This is the third time our church has rented the property in some capacity from Joe and it is always a joy being there. Joe is the ideal host, readily available, quick to respond, and extending warmth and welcome. We always recommend going to his food truck on the property too--delicious BBQ! Cannot recommend Joe as a host or this property highly enough. Truly a joy to stay there every time!

Stine House
With this 7brs and 4 bath house, 5 adult couples had plenty of room for sleeping, eating and game playing. Dinner in the little chapel, prepared by Joe's food truck was amazing. Perfect location. We'll be back again and again.
