Hummingbird - Luxury 2 bedroom, Long Range Mountain Views, Hot Tub, Hiking

Hummingbird

Wake up to long-range Blue Ridge views in a home that's truly one of a kind in Catawba Falls Preserve — the only 2 king-suite retreat in a neighborhood of much larger 4–7 bedroom homes. That makes Hummingbird the perfect fit for a couple's getaway or two couples traveling together, without paying for space you don't need.

Step into an open great room and kitchen with soaring ceilings and a floor-to-ceiling stone, wood-burning fireplace. Two king en-suite bedrooms — one on each level — give everyone their own private retreat:

-Main-level suite: double granite sinks, walk-in shower, private water closet, plus a half bath and laundry closet nearby.

-Upper-level suite: a private loft, king bed, and sliding doors to a covered balcony with sweeping mountain views. The bath has double sinks and a separate water closet with tub/shower.

-The loft adds a pull-out sofa, which is ideal for a couple of kids.

Outside, unwind by the fire pit, soak in the hot tub, grill on the charcoal grill, or stretch out on the large covered deck listening to the mountains. Much of the cabin's decor was sourced locally from Black Mountain and Asheville artisans.

A few details worth knowing: 3 Smart TVs for streaming, newly installed fiber internet (600–700 Mbps — plenty for work calls, gaming, or a movie night), and a Tesla EV charger on-site (bring your adapter if you drive another EV brand).

The Neighborhood:

Bordering a vast forest preserve, Catawba Falls Preserve is a gated community with stunning views of Pisgah National Forest. You'll feel a thousand miles away — yet you're just 20 minutes from Black Mountain and about 35 minutes from Asheville. Hiking trails, streams, and waterfalls are all right in the neighborhood, and wildlife is abundant: expect deer, wild turkey, rabbits, birds, fox, and the occasional black bear sighting.

Other Things to Note:

The property is quiet, private, and sits on 2 acres with breathtaking views in every direction. Relax on the wrap-around deck's cozy furniture, hammocks, and rocking chairs, or take your morning coffee out to the upstairs covered balcony for those long-range mountain views.

The kitchen is fully stocked for a trouble-free vacation — a drip coffee maker, Keurig, and hot water kettle are all on hand. Beds are made up before you arrive, with fresh towels and linens ready and waiting.

Our home is professionally cleaned and inspected between every stay, so you can settle in and start relaxing right away.

Our calendar is always kept up to date, so what you see is accurate — feel free to book directly, or reach out with any questions and we'll usually respond within a few hours.

Pet Policy:

We understand wanting to bring your best friend along! We welcome up to 2 well-behaved, housebroken dogs with prior approval and a $100 pet fee. Just share your dog's breed, weight, and age so we can approve ahead of time — dogs should be house-trained, up to date on vaccinations and flea/tick prevention, and comfortable settling in without constant supervision. To keep the home in great shape for every guest, we ask that dogs stay off the furniture. We're not able to accommodate cats or other animals — thanks for helping us keep Hummingbird wonderful for everyone.

The Region:

Black Mountain, 15 miles from Asheville on the eastern edge of Buncombe County, is a quintessential small mountain town — a charming, walkable downtown, a thriving arts and crafts scene, and, at 2,405 feet elevation, easy access to incredible outdoor adventure. Named for the mountain range towering over it, Black Mountain became a haven for artists, musicians, poets, and architects in the mid-20th century, and remains one today, with galleries showcasing some of the region's best Southern Appalachian craftsmanship.

Guest Access:

Check-in instructions are sent before your arrival, including codes for both the community gate and the front door.

Thank You:

Darrin and Barbara here — thank you for considering Hummingbird for your mountain getaway.

My mom passed earlier in May and we needed a change of scenery. The home itself is warm and inviting and immaculate not to mention beautifully decorated. The beds were extremely comfortable. The views are breathtaking. We enjoyed seeing the wildlife just outside our windows. We saw a bear and a deer and wild turkeys. Not only did we feel closer to God but to our mom!

This house was the perfect escape for our family of 5 and 2 goldendoodles! It was clean, cozy and even better than the pictures. We sat around the fire, played games, puzzles and went on some amazing hikes nearby. The brand new hot tub overlooking the mountains was an added bonus…as was the Christmas tree and bottle of wine:). Also, Michael was helpful and quick to respond to our texts. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful mountain retreat

This home is a wonderful retreat from the chaos. We spent most of our time enjoying the gorgeous views from the porch--whether it was morning coffee listening to the birds or evening chats with family. I imagine the inside would be a cozy place to retreat with a book in less lovely weather, but it was just too pretty to be inside. The home is beautifully decorated with some adorable extra touches. The beds are really comfortable, and we all slept soundly. Communication with Michael was also excellent. Would highly recommend this home.

Nice View.

Looking for respite and privacy, this property easily met our goals. The outdoor spaces are lovely. The property has trail access and beautiful scenery. The closest town, Black Mountain, is a perfect blend of charm and small town convenience. It is very close to the Billy Graham Training center which was our primary reason to visit the area. The Hummingbird House is a short drive to the sights of Asheville with easy access to the freeway. It is very clean with thoughtful amenities throughout. If you are traveling with folks who have any mobility issues, the upstairs bathroom may pose a slight challenge, Lovely, new, bright property that will not disappoint.

This home was the perfect setting for a relaxing mountain getaway for celebrating our wedding anniversary. The home is new and well equipped, including a kitchen with everything you need to make a fantastic meal - just stop to get your groceries on the way up. We saw lots of wildlife, including two bears. It’s a great home base for seeing sites around Around the area, which include numerous waterfalls, hiking trails, Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, and all the other activity the Asheville & Western NC area have to offer. The home owners are also very helpful and provide all the information needed to make your stay extra special. We would highly recommend this home to anyone needing a calming break from the daily grind!

Cabin with a View

If you are looking for a great relaxing place for a few days, this should be your choice. It is off the main roads, roads are curvy and uphill, but what isn't in the Smokey's. We were looking for a few days to just relax and enjoy some quiet family time. This place did not disappoint. This cabin has the best view and breeze. Sitting on the porch in the mornings and in the hot tub in the evenings were fabulous. The cabin was well appointed with up to date techy type appliances (took us a while to figure the AC out). Everything about the decorations, instructions, and just the convenience of everything was perfect. The beds were extremely comfortable and made for a great nights sleep after hiking. Be sure and check behind the bathroom door before you leave. I left my makeup bag and the owners graciously found it and mailed it to me. There are kind people still in this world. I highly recommend a staying here when visiting the Biltmore or just getting away to the area!

Well-appointed, nicely-designed quiet mountain escape

This brand new house was designed from the ground up with rest, relaxation, and comfort in mind. While many houses are laid out and furnished as an owners’ vacation home and with guests as a secondary consideration, here we were pleased to find every comfort and amenity that a renter could want or need for a week in the mountains. From plush furnishings to the true “chef’s kitchen”, every detail was thoroughly considered and provided for with the guest’s experience in mind. All controls - from door entry to televisions to the bespoke lighting plan - were at the ready. Internet worked great - always available, stable, and able to handle video streaming and web at the same time. Comfortable outdoor seating has been thoughtfully placed on the multiple decks and around the side yard fire pit. On a moonlit, cloudless night, our biggest challenge was deciding where to sit and enjoy the evening. Just as the house was designed and furnished with us (renters) in mind, the owners/management team truly exist to ensure that we were comfortable and had everything that we needed. They are nearby, and the pride of ownership and commitment to service were evident. If you are looking for a well-planned out, superbly comfortable, and totally guest-focused house in the mountains, this is it!
