*New*Gartness House Sleeps 6 | 3 mins DT Black Mtn

Summary:

Retreat to Black Mountain at The Gartness House, an updated one level 3 bedroom getaway that sleeps 6! Walkable to Lake Tomahawk Park, a 2 minute drive to historic Black Mountain, or less than a 20 minute drive to downtown Asheville or the Biltmore Estate. This charming home has something for everyone including a comfy living room to gather, a coffee bar, a fenced in backyard, a fire pit area, and a stocked kid’s play room!



The Space:

Black Mountain has a rich history of arts, crafts, and music. Garden & Gun says Black Mountain is a tiny town that "boasts a serious arts pedigree." This quaint mountain escape boasts over 200 businesses, including breweries, specialty shops, artisan workshops, and restaurants. Our family-sized home has every amenity to make your stay in Black Mountain comfortable and memorable, with plenty of fenced-in outdoor space to take in the scenery and a playroom to fill your stay with family fun!



With a full-size kitchen, 3 bedrooms, full-size dining, comfortable living, and a playroom, our home will suit travelers of every age, no matter your travel plans or pace. New climate controls and other recent updates to the property provide comfort and peace of mind. Reliable Wi-Fi and a lit private parking area assure you that your stay in the mountains will be restful and safe. Guests have the entire property to themselves to enjoy and relax.



Located just two blocks away from our home, Lake Tomahawk Park offers gorgeous lake views year-round, an exciting playground, scenic walking path, fishing, games, and a seasonal public pool.



While you visit, be sure to explore Black Mountain’s gift shops, specializing in hand-crafted artisan wares, spend some time at one of Black Mountain’s 35 restaurants, or sample a beer or spirits at a local brewery, some within walking distance of the property. We recommend starting your vacation off with a walk to the Blue Ridge Biscuit Company or the Dripolater Coffee Shop.



Just a short drive from our home in Black Mountain Golf Course, which offers a superb 18-hole course marked by the regions’ natural beauty.



Be sure to explore the region’s other sights while you’re here. Only two miles away is Montreat, the former home of the Rev. Billy Graham. Hiking and Biking trails abound around Black Mountain. The Swannanoa Valley Museum features “Rim Hikes” of both moderate and difficult levels.



 The Blue Ridge Parkway,  found just 9 miles west along Highway 70, is the most visited scenic highway in America. The Biltmore House is just a short 15-minute drive, along with the best Asheville has to offer.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Black Mountain Get Away

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Gartness House. The property was as described and convenient to both Black Mountain, the Blue RIdge Parkway, and Asheville. Communication with the host was excellent, and we were more than satisfied with our experience at this property.

Summer retreat

Gartness House was perfect home base for our summer retreat to Black Mountain/Montreat. We loved the central location near Lake Tomahawk. We took daily walks around the lake, golf course, town and up the ridge. We had easy access into town and up to Montreat to enjoy all the July 4th holiday activities. The mattresses were particularly good, very new and right level of firmness without being too hard. all enjoyed good nights’ sleep. The kitchen had everything we needed for family meals. Our kids enjoyed the oversized swing in the yard and our dogs enjoyed the corner lot with lots of room to run.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS BAIT AND SWITCH DUMP

This listing says “*NEW*”. Not even close. Sketchy neighborhood. Walked in and had spider drop on shoulder. Pictures and reality two different things. The property manager ridiculed us for our reaction. We were in and out fast as it was obvious we had been mislead. Would strongly discourage staying at this or any other property manager by this owner. We have stayed in many VRBO over years. Never had any issues until this. And have never had a property manager be so tone deaf and non customer oriented. We found another place and had a wonderful trip. VRBO and owner Have not refunded full stay prepaid money for this blatant misrepresentation which has been quite disappointing.
