True as advertised

We left the frozen North, in mid January, to make Red Cottage our home for 61 days exactly, Check in process was seamless. There was everything in the cottage, that we needed for a long stay. there was even dog treats for our small Bichon Poodle. Yard has some fall leaves, that our pet did not like, mentioned that to Monica, and she sent a contractor who cleaned up in o time. Small boutiques , in black mountains are nice place to shop and near by cafes are nice touch. Over all it was an excellent getaway for us to beat the winter Blahs.

A red gem in Black Mountain

Such an adorable cottage that has everything needed plus some extras. The front porch rockers were a treat on sunny days, the kitchen has everything you will need, the whole place is so clean and comfy, and the hosts were great on communication. Being close enough to walk to downtown was a bonus. Definitely 5 stars.

Wonderful cottage

The property was spotlessly clean. There was an abundance of extras. Anything we needed was supplied. The location was as advertised, short walk to town. We had a great stay.

About the host

Hosted by Monica-Hisano Galloway

Before moving to Black Mountain we spent many vacations and long weekends sightseeing, rock climbing, hiking, and camping (a nudge for all you climbers, hikers, and bikers). We loved the area so much that we decided to move to Black Mountain when our daughter started kindergarten.

Twenty-eight years later our daughter has completed graduate school at UNC-Chapel Hill and we are still in awe with the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the seasonal climate, entertainment, special events, and countless sightseeing attractions.

Why they chose this property

After months of searching for the perfect vacation rental property in Black Mountain we came across this beautiful 1920 red cedar siding cottage (hence, The Red Cottage). Its large front porch is set back from an old weeping-willow and a spectacular hickory nut shade tree. It was love at first sight!

Since 2014 we have owned/operated The Red Cottage and we personally serve as your hosts. Our goal is to exceed your needs and expectations!

What makes this property unique

The Red Cottage is located equally between the towns of Black Mountain and Montreat. Less than 1 mile in either direction you will find many attractions that are normally featured in larger cities.

Downtown Black Mountain has outstanding gift shops, restaurants, taverns, a Farmers Market, sweets, coffee shops, and much, much more. Within a short distance, you will find the Black Mountain Golf Course and mini golf for kids of all ages. Lake Tomahawk has an outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts, croquet court, free concerts, and a facility that can be rented for private events. Seasonal festivals & attractions, such as The Lake Eden Arts Festival (LEAF), Sourwood Festival, and Spartan Obstacle Races are very popular!

Montreat College is an independent, Christian based 4-year liberal arts school and their Conference Center hosts religious conferences throughout the year. Montreat also has great hiking/biking trails, creeks, and preserved woodland areas for your outdoor fun.

There are churches of various denominations that are just a short walk from The Red Cottage.

Visit during the fall and take your car, motorcycle, or bicycle along the Blue Ridge Parkway. The spectacular views, waterfalls, and brilliant colors of the falls leaves are sights that you wouldn't want to miss out on!

If you choose to venture out for the big city, historical Asheville is just 15 miles west on I-40! Asheville also offers many attractions -The Arboretum, Biltmore House, Thomas Wolfe Center, Civic Center, River Arts District, museum, playhouses, shopping malls... The 'Drum Circle' and 'Friday-After-5' are annual family events in downtown Asheville during the late spring and summer months. Specialty shops and breweries are plentiful.

For outdoor adventures, we have countless hiking and biking trails, rock climbing, and skiing. Nearby ziplines, paddling, camping, fishing, WNC Nature Center... The list goes on & on! We will have lots of information and brochures available to you!
