Carrles escape was a great little cabin with a great view of the mountains! The only downside was the neighbors! In either side of the house there are neighbors which are located down the mountain a little. You can’t see them from the house, but their dogs barked a lot. Besides that, the cabin was super clean and well maintained. The host were quick to answer any questions I had and even sent someone out within a couple of hours to fix the internet. The cabin was cozy and the indoor fireplace kept us warm and made us feel right at home.

The space was great as was the amenities offered(very thorough). Sleeping was comfortable. Family visited and also enjoyed. However, the front entrance was rather uneven and difficult to maeuver for us, being seniors.

Great location for the LEAF festival! Very clean and well stocked. We enjoyed the fire pit and front porch. Very private and quiet with beautiful view of the mountains. Some wild turkeys showed up in the back yard. So fun!

Great place and location

We really enjoyed staying here and would come back. Really great setup where it list 3 bedrooms with 4 beds. However there is actual a 4th bedroom that has the 4th bed, small put it worked well. The view is awesome during the day and night time under the stars. The fire pit ads a great touch. The location is very close to downtown Black Mountain. However there are no close grocery stores we found and breakfast out can get expensive. During the winter time you will want to leave your master room and the bedroom at the opposite end bedroom open at night out your room may get very cold. The TV Wi-Fi isn't the best but we use mirror screening from our phone. But if goes out just simple reset the router and wait a couple of minutes and you should be good to go. The kitchen is well stocked with items. There are towels, rags and a roll of toilet paper and hand towels. However you may consider to bringing more if you will be there any length of time. Location is very convenient to Ashville or to head towards Grandfather Mountain. We look forward to coming back.
