Walked to the pool thru the golf course path. There are no sidewalks along the street to the pool. Downtown a bit too far to walk and had rain each day of our trip. Very clean home - only one small spider which is amazing given all the trees in Black Mountain. The gas fireplace was wonderful. Didn't use the grill. Very accommodating host. Thank you for the memories

10/10 stay at Black Mtn
We had a fantastic stay at the Sandy Hive. The house was perfect for us. It was comfortable, clean, as pictured, and so well stocked (games, kitchen utensils, coffee supplies, kids supplies, extra pillows and towels, etc). A short drive to town and a local park made the location great too. We enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit, easily prepped meals in the fully stocked kitchen and slept comfortably. Karen was extremely responsive to any questions. We have 0 complaints and would absolutely stay again if we’re back in the area.
