About this property

Bluebird Hideaway: 1 Private Acre, Hot Tub, & Pets Allowed!

Bluebird Hideaway is our new, Cape Cod style Vacation Rental. We hope that you will be as charmed as we are by this lovely, private place. Just up the hill from this cottage is our first, and very successful vacation rental, Black Mountain Hideaway, property number 410121, which is rated 4.9/5 star rating, with 200 excellent reviews.

Morning coffee and any meals enjoyed on the covered porch, will often be accompanied by many varieties of bird's singing. If you follow the covered porch around to the side porch, you'll find the private Hot tub area where you can enjoy the evening sky, filled with stars. Down 2 steps from there and you'll be in the bbq grilling area and near the fire pit.

Inside, you'll find that the main floor could be all that a couple would need to be comfortable. There is a completely equipped kitchen and dining area, a cozy living room, and one spacious bedroom with a queen size bed, and bathroom with shower.

If you are traveling with another couple or bringing the children along, the second floor has a very quaint bedroom with a queen size bed, and bathroom with shower. The second floor also has a loft area, open to the kitchen below. Here you will find a reading nook with a Trundle Bed to snuggle up in, with books, games, puzzles, and children's books. The Trundle bed is a twin bed with a second twin bed stored beneath it.

The cottage is an enjoyable stroll through Cheshire Village to the Cheshire Village Shops, where you'll find the Artisan Shop to have your morning coffee and roll or sandwich, or you might enjoy the wonderful Sake Sushi Restaurant at lunchtime. Another great restaurant in Cheshire is the Black Bear Restaurant for delicious evening meal choices.

Approximately 3 minutes by car to the Historic downtown Black Mountain gift shops, antiques, and some of the many wonderful restaurants.
Another 15 minutes to the Asheville Arts, Entertainment, Breweries, and Restaurants.

Little Slice of Black Mountain

This was our second stay here. We love how convenient it is to the downtown and the grocery store. Our hosts have thoughtfully stocked the home so that everything we would need is there. Also love the hot tub!

The photos in the listing do not do this place justice! It is so cute with very nice finishes. The location was perfect. We really enjoyed the spacious rooms and the hot tub! Would love to come back and stay here again (and hopefully see a bear!)

Wondeful home. Great kitchen and appliances. Hot tub was fantastic and the stock pile of wood for burning. Having stayed at other tourist destination locations places they were well stocked.

Nice space for a girlfriends getaway

We enjoyed the home & received easy communication from the owners. Easy drive to town, less than 5 minutes to about anywhere by Black Mtn. Saw our first very BIG black bear while there just at the bottom of the property, pretty neat. The hot tub was nice and we enjoyed a fire outside each night. Thank you, it was a nice weekend getaway.

We’ll be back!

We’ve taken several trips to Asheville over the years so we decided to try Black Mountain this year. This home was spectacular and exactly what we needed for a quiet weekend away from home. We really enjoyed hanging out in Black Mountain. This house was just a short drive to all of the restaurants and shops. We definitely plan to stay here again in the future.

Very cute place

The house was very dirty when we arrived however the homeowner was so quick to respond and fix the problem and very kind which was not the property owners fault! It was a very cute home tucked away and we really enjoyed spending Christmas here ! I loved that I could bring my dog weigh us and kids had enough space and enjoyed it as well! Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home !

Birthday celebration

Made arrangements with owner for balloons and cake to be there upon check in to make my friends birthday extra special. The house was cozy and very welcoming. Clean, fresh and nicely appointed with extra amenities. Very close to town, short car ride to visit shops, restaurants and pubs. Did a lot of retail therapy and relaxing time

Very cozy feel. Living room not very comfortable but otherwise the rest of the house is lovely. My only real complaint was the condition of the gravel road leading up to the house. Needs re-grading, my 4wd was not happy making it up the drive.

Property was in a safe area and was visibly clean upon entrance. The fireplace did not work and needs repairing. The stairs going up to the hot tub are aged and have a layer of algae growing on them. My wife slipped getting on the first step and hit her head on the hot tub and bruised her hip. After going to urgent care it was confirmed she had a concussion. Would recommend the owners have this area cleaned up.

Bluebird for Sourwood

Our family of five, all adults, and furry members enjoyed the location, quietness, hot tub and visiting the Black Mountain Sourwood Festival. The location of the property is great. The drive up rocky driveway with some ruts was like an added theme ride, but do-able. The cabin itself is very roomy and for our short stay was very nice.

Wonderful mountain retreat!

Accessible for my parents who were celebrating their 60th anniversary. Perfect location... Close enough to Biltmore, but not in the middle of Asheville craziness. Clean, comfortable, and a lovely porch. We watched two bears from the porch and felt honored.
Our old dog felt right at home.
The reading nook was my favorite!

Cozy Mountain Retreat in Great Neighborhood

Bluebird Hideaway served as an excellent location for our family (3 people). We really enjoyed hearing the birds every day and appreciated having an upstairs for our teenager while my wife and I enjoyed downstairs. Centrally located, and a quiet location. We saw bears crossing the road from our property, and I enjoyed the long morning walks up the steep roads. Highly recommend!
