Private 14-Acre Mountain Estate - 3 Homes - Ideal for Groups
Twin Willows is a private 14-acre mountain estate in Mars Hill, North Carolina, offering exclusive use of three separate homes in a peaceful, scenic setting. During winter months, the estate is conveniently located just two exits south of Hatley Pointe, which offers downhill skiing and family-friendly snow tubing. With ample space, privacy, and comfort, Twin Willows serves as an ideal home base for winter gatherings, ski weekends, and seasonal mountain getaways.
Designed for groups who value space and togetherness, the estate includes three distinct accommodations: Stines House, a spacious historic home ideal for large families and reunions; The Stable, a beautifully renovated barn home with rustic character and scenic views; and Cascade Cottage, a fully ADA-compliant, stand-alone cottage offering accessible comfort. Renting the estate provides guests with exclusive access to all three homes, allowing everyone to stay close while enjoying separate, private spaces.
After a day of winter activities, guests can return to a warm, relaxed environment with multiple gathering areas, comfortable sleeping accommodations, and room to spread out across the property. The estate is equally well suited for family celebrations, retreats, and group stays throughout the year.
Property Layout & Guest Access
Guests have exclusive use of all three homes on the estate, along with access to shared outdoor spaces including walking areas, fire pits, lawns, and gathering areas. Each home offers its own living spaces, kitchens or kitchenettes, bedrooms, and bathrooms, providing flexibility for a variety of group needs.
Estate Layout & Proximity
The three homes are thoughtfully positioned across the property to balance proximity and privacy. Cascade Cottage is connected to Stines House by a covered walkway, and some outdoor areas may be visible between homes. Quiet hours are observed across the estate, and the property maintains a relaxed, residential atmosphere.
Optional dining and event spaces are located near the entrance of the property and are intentionally separated from the homes. Dining and events are seasonal and not required for guests staying at the estate.
Interaction with Guests
Self check-in is provided for convenience. We are available by message if assistance is needed while respecting guest privacy. Staff may be present near the entrance of the property during food service hours or scheduled events.
