Babbling Brook Bungalow

Everything about this property was very high quality. It's in a great location, very convenient to downtown Black Mountain, shopping and restaurants. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. We arrived to find Jean's delicious homemade cookies, for us and our dog, and a welcome letter! The bungalow was well stocked with eveything we needed. There was also a wide assortment of snacks and beverages. The check-in and check-out process was easy. I would give it more than five stars if allowed. We will be repeat guests! We highly recommend Babbling Brook Bungalow!

Babbling Brook is perfection!

Peaceful, clean, perfectly positioned with more goodies than you can imagine. My son's favorite: the amazing oatmeal cookies. The pull out bed was comfortable for his 6 foot frame and I slept like a baby in the queen bed. The shower was hot and had a great shower head, all the linens were clean and comfy. Jean and Doug were easy to contact and so hospitable . We will be back!

Great getaway

Great place to stay away from the hustle and bustle of Asheville. Clean and quiet. Loved the babbling brook right there. Jean and Doug have made every effort to make the stay enjoyable from the cookies she left, the snacks and drinks. There is also lots of information on the things to do in the area. My visit was to see the Chihuly exhibit at Biltmore. I could definitely see coming back for other things in the area. I will say that if you stay early in week a lot of the local restaurants are closed. Would definitely stay here again.

Mountain getaway

This was our first time to the Black Mountain area and this bungalow was perfect for me and my husband. It was a great location in a quaint area and you can hear the running brook outside your window. Doug and Jean are very friendly and welcoming. They provided everything we needed and even have a fridge with some water and other beverages, a basket full of coffee/tea and condiments, a basket full of various snacks and a welcome plate of homemade oatmeal chocolate chips cookies. The parking spot available is small so if you have a large vehicle there is parking a door or two down from the bungalow. Overall, we would stay here again.

We couldn't have been happier with this darling bungalow! SO welcoming to us and our pup! Super clean and neat as a pin. Jean and Doug have thought of every thing you could possibly need or want. Not only did we REALLY love our stay...we feel like we made new friends. We'll be back, for sure! The creek is dreamy and there's a fenced dog area for a little romp very close by. You won't be disappointed :-)
