Great Cabin Stay

A charming cabin with comfortable beds, well stocked and an easy access to the downtown. Loved the large back porch to sit & relax and we stayed dry in the heaviest of downpours listening to the rain. Walking paths and lake in close proximity & we had a fabulous time for our anniversary.

Brief getaway

We really enjoyed our stay at Cottonwood. Black Mountain is a favorite getaway for us and this time we just wanted a couple of days for a change of scenery. This was perfect with quick and easy access to town and hiking and the cabin itself was charming and comfortable. Highly recommend!

Great Log Cabin

We loved the unique design and layout of the cabin. Furniture and beds were all comfortable and the gas fireplace was perfect for the snow storm during our stay! We enjoyed the views and location; taking many walks with our dogs on the golf course.

A wonderful rustic retreat

The cabin was well appointed and has a rustic charm we found very comforting and relaxing. There are touches of country influences in all the rooms with an eclectic style with the furniture. The beds are very comfortable and soft. The two porches offer a great place to start or wrap up your day as they offer different views and have plenty of seating.

Wonderful stay!

We had the best stay for for my husbands birthday in Black Mountain. We traveled with our 10 month old and the home could not have been more perfect. It’s such a cool place!! Perfect location across from the golf course, walking distance to the park and a quick drive to town. Can’t wait to come back!

Black Mountain Visit

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Great location near Black Mountain restaurants and shopping, yet very quiet and peaceful setting. Loved the back deck with a table for outdoor dining. The house was as described and the kitchen was well equipped for making breakfast and cooking. Everything worked, was new and clean. We'd stay here again.

Great communication with property management company. Nice cabin overall, great sleeping beds, everything we needed. Only thing we were disappointed in was that the description stated mountain view but their is not one. Otherwise, all was good.

Lovely cabin feel

We chose this location to be close to Montreat where I was taking a week-long class. The house was clean and very cozy. The fireplace in the evenings was an added bonus! Only gave 4 stars because of construction next door.

Charming property with the feel of a log cabin but all the modern conveniences. Kelly, the property manager, was so helpful and kind.. In town for a family reunion and the location was convenient and close to all planned activities. Can't wait to return.
