Lovely stay in Black Mountain

My family and I had a great time at this cabin. Our toddler slept great in the kids' room, and the house was very kid friendly. Our dog also had a good time and enjoyed the run. There are many thoughtful touches, and decor is stylish and modern. Location was convenient. Beds were comfy. Really just a nice, relaxing stay and can't wait to return to the area.

1st Vrbo experience a winner!

This was the first time we have been a guest at a Vrbo and it was a great experience. Kelsey was an amazing host - great communication from start to finish, making sure we and our Australian Shepherd (Pepper) were comfortable and had everything we needed. The Blue Beauty was super clean and well stocked with everything we might possibly need or want. Although it is relatively close to the highway, it was incredibly quiet any peaceful. We would end our days of sightseeing sitting by a fire in the fire pit under the stars.

Fabulous last-minute get-away

We decided last minute to get out of town for a couple of days -- the cabin was just perfect! The location easily let us get to both Black Mountain and Asheville. The back yard was well maintained and the dog run was nice for our pup. The house was spotless and cozy -- a well stocked kitchen, soft linens, and a beautiful woodsy view out the back window. I was traveling with teens and everybody was comfortable. The house let us spread out and relax. We had a fire in the fireplace both evenings. So happy we found this gem!

I wish we could have stayed longer. Our three pups loved all the new smells while they investigated most of the property. There is also a fenced area although, we didn't need to use it. Kelsey is an awesome host and provides all the details needed either in the listing, or via messaging after booking. She was quick to respond when I did reach out a couple of times but later when packing up, I found the binder, we covered accidently on arrival that may have had those answers. Whoops! The house had everything that we needed during our stay. One thing to note for future guests, while our SUV and two cars had no issue with the driveway, another Lyft driver did.

Great host and close to grocery store and town!

The cottage was adorable. The host responded to my messages quickly and answered all of my questions. She even had a necklace I left behind and put under lock and key until I could stop to get it when I was back in the area. There is an Ingles grocery store about 5 minutes away. They even carry firewood. Heading the other direction from the cottage, the town of Black Mountain is 5-7 minutes away. Fun hardware and antique stores, boutiques, Kilwins, restaurants and a coffee shop beckon.

About the host

Hosted by Kelsey Maren

Host profile image
Hi! I'm Kelsey, first and foremost a wife and mother of two sweeties! I LOVE to travel and spent most of my 20s and 30s doing just that so it's sort of full circle that I now am hosting travelers! I truly love new experiences and seeing new places. I love the opportunity Airbnb provides by being able to stay in a neighborhood and see it differently than you ever could from a hotel room.

I am here to offer you a high quality of service as well as local recommendations!

Family: My family and I are from MN and moved to NC in 2014 for school/work.

Work: My background was in the environmental sector, then I turned to small business ownership in the pet industry and have recently changed my occupation, hoping to grow another business.

Free time: We love taking our kids hiking in the NC mountains and also try to get out to the beach at least once per year. Other than being out in nature, relaxing with a book and getting in exercise are my favorite things to do. Oh, and I love binge watching a good Netflix show!!

Why they chose this property

My family and I love spending time in the mountains and our cottage is perfect for enjoying the convenience of being close to the quaint vibrant mountain town of Black Mountain, while also being near hiking and the natural beauty of the area. And even a short drive to Asheville! When we're home our favorite thing to do is relax in front of the fireplace and just play around in the yard!

What makes this property unique

We love the character of The Blue Beauty with hardwood floors and beautiful fireplace.
Our family enjoys the large private yard to relax outdoors and the open concept living inside to hang out as a group while playing games, watching on the ROKU TV, or cooking a nice meal together!
