Wonderful Mountain House

We loved this house! We stayed here with our family after picking our kids up from camp. The house was so comfortable with plenty of room for everyone to spread out. We loved the downstairs den for watching movies and the kids loved the upstairs loft area to hang out. The beds were all comfortable. We loved the convenience to the grocery store, restaurants, and downtown. We look forward to staying here again on our next trip to Black Mtn!

This home is beautiful, filled with comfortable furnishings that accommodate many, and stocked with plenty of amenities (including board games for rainy afternoons). The location is close to hiking trails and the offerings in downtown Black Mountain but tucked away in a very quiet spot.

Everyone loved this place!

We had three generations in one house! Each had their own floor/space. Truly a great vacation home. Loved sitting on the porch, listening to rain or watching fireflies in the field across the street. Easy walk to Sake sushi. The kitchen was nice along with the grill. Everyone had a wonderful time.

What a great neighborhoo.

We were pleasantly surprised by the neighborhood. It was very high end and well maintained. There is a shop and restaurants in there. The home was spaceous and clean. We had plenty of room to lounge and play games and watch movies. The highlight was dinner at Pure and Propper in Black Mountain. Maybe 5 minutes away. We had a nice family weekend. Thanks to the host.

Group of 7 friends came for a 60th birthday trip. We travel a lot as a group together. This house was by far the best we have stayed at. The house was amazing, gift basket was a nice touch, there was nothing else we could have asked for. The location was close to everything. I highly recommend this property.

Stunning luxury. Vacation perfection. A++++

My wife and I, two other couples, and a single friend stayed in this stunning home for a little 3-day / 2-night getaway. We live in Atlanta but we love Asheville and it was one of our group’s birthday weekends. This house was perfect. Truly perfect. It’s in a picturesque neighborhood of other beautiful homes. It’s a short, lovely walk to little shops and restaurants that are part of the same community. The design and build quality of this magnificent house, the decor and furnishings, are all you could ever ask for. The linens, towels, and dishes were top quality. We made fires in the big, stately fireplace on the outside deck off the living room both nights. We enjoyed drinking cocktails at night and coffee in the morning around the large wooden kitchen table. We’d drive into Asheville to explore and enjoy the town and restaurants, then go back to this lovely home to enjoy our long evenings. My wife and I have had rental homes including high-end beach rentals for years. The owners of this home do as nice a job as I’ve ever seen done. Our bedroom and bathroom were both gorgeous and comfortable. It’s a beautiful home in every way. Beautiful design & beautifully appointed. Five well-deserved stars. We’ll definitely return.

Loved it!

We had a great time at this house. It’s very nice. There a lot of luxury details that make me want to upgrade a few things at home. The setup is ideal for families and friends. The main living and dining area is large enough for everyone to be together, but there are plenty of other spaces for the kids to do their own thing. The location is great, close to downtown Black Mountain, and a short drive to Asheville. Also the host was super communicative and helpful. We can’t wait to come back.

Wonderful Cabin, Great Location

The cabin is beautiful and nestled in the wonderful village of Cheshire close to downtown Black Mountain. We have family that live in the area and travel here often. Black Mountain is an amazing little town with tons of galleries, locally owned restaurants, and breweries. This cabin is very well appointed, providing everything we needed for our stay over Thanksgiving. They even had a Christmas tree up and decorated for us!! We love the big fireplace on the porch and used it every night.
