Black Mtn Cottage w/ hot tub + dog friendly - 20 min to Asheville

Welcome to Red Fox Cottage, our newly renovated, fox-themed, cozy cottage in the heart of downtown Black Mountain, NC. Just a 15 min walk to Lake Tomahawk Park & 5 min drive to the town center with a wide array of shops, restaurants, & breweries. Come enjoy this 2 bedroom, 2 bath home with an awesome dog-friendly backyard area that includes a fire table & hot tub.

Explore our super cute, historic mountain town, or you're only 20 min to Asheville, Biltmore Estate, and the Blue Ridge Parkway.



This newly remodeled, one-story 1920's cottage has an open concept design to maximize the living space for up to 4 guests. With 2 bedrooms and 2 ensuite bathrooms, it's 800 sq ft is the perfect compact size for 1-2 couples or 1 couple with kids or dogs(aka fluffy children).

We are dog-friendly - yay! We do have a maximum of two well-behaved dogs per stay and there is a $150 pet fee if you want to bring any of your fur-babies. We do ask that dogs stay off the furniture and that you pick up after them in the yard. Our fenced in yard is great for pups to run around and enjoy the fresh mountain air. Don't worry, we provide poo bags, food bowls, towels for muddy paws, and even a dog blanket and treats. :)

Lots of places in Black Mountain are dog-friendly so taking your pups around town can be super fun! Please do be aware that bears roam around frequently in our area so leaving your dog unattended in the backyard is a beary bad idea... sorry, I had to.

The cottage is furnished with super comfy Queen sized beds. One bedroom has a memory foam mattress that is perfect for those who prefer a firm mattress, and the other bedroom has a hybrid mattress that is slightly softer.

In the swoon-worthy kitchen, you'll find all the silverware, pots, pans and plates you'll need to pretend like you’re going to cook yourself dinner from scratch! ;)(But really, there is no need because the restaurants in our town are top-notch). The butcher block countertops overhang the new gray cabinets with silver hardware which nicely pairs with the tile backsplash. There is also a small vintage dining table with four chairs that is a fun nod to the fact that the home is quite vintage itself (103 years old to be exact!).

The stackable washer and dryer can be found behind the middle sliding barn door by the dining table, and laundry detergent is also provided.

The living room is furnished with a nice big flat-screen tv and super comfy leather couch where you'll be able to Netflix and chill with friends. There is a small marble coffee table, two brown leather chairs, and a built in gas-log fireplace that gives you all the cozy cottage vibes you could want. Also in the shelves under the tv and behind the couch you'll find a nice stack of playing cards and games in case you want to have a game night and order in.

The two bathrooms are similar in size, each with marble tile-look laminate flooring and spacious showers. We provide hairdryers, cotton swabs and cotton balls as well as one bath towel and wash cloth per guest.

Don't forget to head out to the fenced in backyard because it is seriously a ~vibe~ in itself. The brand new patio furniture, propane fire table, oscillating fan and sparkly bistro lights are ideal for a relaxed evening at home. All you need is a bottle of Biltmore wine and then you could call it heaven. We also just added a brand new 5 person HOT TUB - woot woot! Enjoy the soothing jetted bubbles under the bistro lights for the ultimate relaxing mountain getaway.

In terms of amenities, we've got you covered too! You'll have access to small, yet important, things like: An iron, ironing board, towels, shampoo, conditioner, soap, cotton balls, coffee, sugar, tea, dog poo bags, and more.

Our little mountain cottage is just so great that you'll probably want to stay forever. :) We've had guests ask. Just kidding. (But seriously.)



In an effort to maintain a secure premises, the cottage is equipped with an exterior security camera and a doorbell with a camera. The cameras are ONLY on the exterior, and there are no cameras on the inside.

Wonderful house in the mountains. Highly recommend staying here! Our dog Bear loved waking up to rolling around in the backyard. The space was clean and welcoming. The hottub was lovely and the neighborhood was charming. Quick drive into town and close to some great hiking trails.

Terrific Place for 2 Couples

We met our friends there for a 3 day stay. We have been dear friends as couples for almost 40 years and now live in TX and NC. This was the perfect place to get together for a short visit. The furnishings are first class and the walk-in showers were perfect for elderly visitors. Close to Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway, plus great dining in Black Mountain. The owner was very responsive to questions and any self-caused issues. I Recommend this place highly.

Wonderful Cottage

We had a lovely stay at Red Fox Cottage. The home was cozy and had everything we needed. We didn’t get to utilize the hot tub or the outdoor space but it looks like a great place to hang out and relax. The bedrooms were comfortable and we loved that each bedroom had an en suite. And most importantly, it was quiet. And no light pollution. Perfect. We made an apple pie while there and the kitchen had everything we needed. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay. We are excited to go back!
