Great stay in Black Mountain

My husband and I stayed in this great place for 3 nights and had some friends join us the final night. This house was perfect for our stay. Fully stocked kitchen was great and there was plenty of room all around. The neighborhood felt safe and we walked into town a couple of times. It was about a mile and a lovely walk. Thanks for a great stay!

Black Mountain beauty

The town of Black Mountain is so quaint and the people are incredibly nice. So exciting to see things are coming together after the horrific hurricane.Our stay was comfy and we particularly enjoyed having a glass of wine on the upstairs balcony in the evenings.Communication was quick and easy.

Beautiful and Comfortable!

Emily and Ben were fantastic hosts! Everything was exactly as described. The fenced in the backyard was such a welcomed feature and the dogs loved having a space to roam, sniff, and explore! The bed in the master bedroom is super comfortable. Everything was clean and smelled fresh. Overall, such a lovely stay and we can’t wait to return for another visit.

Comfortable and cozy

Cute little house, well stocked (my young kids really enjoyed finding a few toys/games!), short drive to downtown Black Mountain. I do wish hosts would stop requiring guests to strip beds and collect towels, especially when there's already a pretty hefty cleaning fee. Other than that, this place is great and has everything you need for a small family. Thank you!

Nice stay

Good location about a mile to downtown, and walk to Lake Tomahawk. Generally quiet neighborhood except there’s a bit of a trailer park just up the hill and I don’t think a single car going up or down had a muffler, but they all seemed to own a barking dog. Property is as-advertised, although fireplace wasn’t working for my stay (not really needed though). Bed a bit squeaky but comfy enough. This would be a great option for a family as house was kitted out with toys and such for the kids.

Wonderful weekend getaway location

We enjoyed our stay! This house was clean, quiet, well stocked and perfectly located for hiking at Lookout Mountain and a quick evening trip to Asheville. There was plenty of space for 6 adults and we managed to park 4 cars between us without issues. Definitely recommend for a weekend mountain trip!

Fantastic Family Spot

What a great spot for our family! We were in town visiting a number of family members in the area and needed our own space to relax and enjoy the mornings and evenings and sporatic moments in between. This house was delightful with more than what we needed and the location was perfect! Truly you can not do any better in Black Mountain!!

Lovely home

Our family of 4 including a 4 and 2 year old loved staying here! The kids enjoyed the toys and all the kid gear such as the books, plates and cups. I loved not having to bring a pack n play with me as the house had one. We cooked many meals in the kitchen and used the fire pit out back. The location was very easy access for our daily adventures to Moncreat, Asheville and Chimney Rock. Communication was easy and each of my questions received a prompt reply and if action was needed it was taken swiftly. Wonderful ownership. Thank you for making our stay so lovely. We will be back to stay again!
