Kristin, we're delighted that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving stay at Breakaway Cottage and enjoyed the fantastic location close to downtown. We appreciate you reviewing and recommending this home to fellow travelers, and we hope to host you again soon!
We often go to Black Mountain to visit our daughter and grandchildren and travel with our dog. This little cottage is by far our favorite. Although the square footage of the house is small the addition on the back gave us ample room to entertain family and friends. The layout given to the usage of the house was well thought out. There is a fenced in yard as well as a gate on the front porch to secure wandering children and dogs. The front porch is delightful place to sit and converse or just enjoy the day and a great fire pit in the back. Clean. Well stocked kitchen. Definitely would recommend!

Aimee, we're delighted that you had such an exceptional getaway at Breakaway Cottage! We appreciate you sharing your kind and valuable feedback with us and fellow travelers considering this home for their own mountain getaway, and we look forward to hosting you again when you return to the Black Mountain area.
Great little house smack between downtown Black Mountain and Montreat. Easy stay and good communication with rental management company. Well stocked kitchen and comfortable, thoughtful house with a nice little front porch. The back room add on to the house was a nice space, but an unusual room. There were no blinds or window treatments, so you and neighbors could mutually see each other at night and sun reflected on TV during the day. The walls are unfinished wood, so you may get a splinter touching it or it could tear your clothes if you bump into it. If you have a toddler, I couldn’t recommend this house bc of those walls.
