Luxury in the Mountains

This home is beautiful, filled with comfortable furnishings that accommodate many, and stocked with plenty of amenities (including board games for rainy afternoons). The location is close to hiking trails and the offerings in downtown Black Mountain but tucked away in a very quiet spot.

Beautiful home and community

We loved our stay! The home was large and had space for everyone to spread out. The beds were so comfy! We enjoyed burning a fire each night and relaxing in the main living room. Our kids loved the nearby playground and creek. The house had everything we needed and was well stocked.

We were totally impressed with the house and neighborhood. Everything about the house was pleasing architecturally. It gave our three families plenty of room for privacy when we needed it but room to spend time together at other times.

Amazing property

Group of 7 friends came for a 60th birthday trip. We travel a lot as a group together. This house was by far the best we have stayed at. The house was amazing, gift basket was a nice touch, there was nothing else we could have asked for. The location was close to everything. I highly recommend this property.

Wonderful Mountain House

We loved this house! We stayed here with our family after picking our kids up from camp. The house was so comfortable with plenty of room for everyone to spread out. We loved the downstairs den for watching movies and the kids loved the upstairs loft area to hang out. The beds were all comfortable. We loved the convenience to the grocery store, restaurants, and downtown. We look forward to staying here again on our next trip to Black Mtn!
