About this property
Riverside Retreat with Pool & Mountain Views
Spacious 4BR mountain retreat in Black Mountain, just 15 minutes from Asheville. Sleeps 10 and features a private pool, hot tub, large deck, fully equipped kitchen, fast WiFi, and comfortable living spaces for groups and families. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, you’re minutes to downtown Black Mountain, hiking, breweries, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Perfect for Asheville getaways, family vacations, retreats, and weekend escapes year-round.
The space
Step into a home designed for comfortable group living. Original hardwood floors and custom Arts and Crafts details throughout create warmth and character, while the 2018 renovation brought the house and outdoor spaces into the modern era.
The first floor flows beautifully for entertaining and relaxation. The fully-stocked gourmet kitchen features a gas range and generous counter space—perfect for preparing group meals. Adjacent dining area seats everyone comfortably, while multiple living areas give your group options: gather around the large TV in the main living room, curl up with a book in the quiet sitting room, stretch out in the bonus room, or challenge each other to board games.
Upstairs, you'll find 4 spacious bedrooms, each with a plush queen bed, plus 2 full bathrooms. The primary bedroom opens onto an upper deck with peaceful mountain views. A half bath on the main floor rounds out the accommodations.
Outdoor Paradise
Step outside to discover why this property truly shines. The renovated back deck is your headquarters for grilling, dining al fresco, and enjoying those famous Blue Ridge sunsets. Fire up the gas grill while others relax in the hot tub or play lawn games. During warmer months (May-September), cool off in the full-size in-ground pool.
The 3-acre property extends to the Swannanoa River—a wide, rocky waterway perfect for wading, exploring, and fishing (license recommended). While it's more suited to playing in the shallows than swimming laps, it's a magical spot for kids and adults alike.
Front and back porches with multiple seating areas invite you to slow down and soak in mountain living at its finest.
Perfect Location
Black Mountain offers the best of both worlds: small-town charm with easy access to major attractions. You're 5 minutes from downtown's locally-owned shops, galleries, and restaurants, 20 minutes from Asheville's vibrant food and arts scene, and surrounded by outdoor adventure.
Please note: There is a separate cottage on the property where our caretaker lives. He helps maintain the grounds and is wonderfully respectful of guest privacy. You'll have total privacy during your stay.

Absolutely fantastic house. Lots of space and amenities. The kitchen is fully stocked and house has so much character. The pool and hot tub are wonderful for the kids and family to enjoy. The host is so accommodating and helpful. We will be back again!
This home is beautiful! It is well furnished, comfortable, and quite clean, with a well-equipped kitchen and laundry. There is plenty of outdoor space from which to enjoy the mountain view and the pool was fun for the grandchildren. Selina, our host, was gracious and responsive. She provided timely and thorough check-in instructions, a quick note to make sure we settled in easily and had everything we needed, and then provided everything we needed to know about check-out. The house was perfect for our families. We enjoyed our stay and would certainly consider staying again! Thank you Selina for sharing your home!!

Thank you for the kind words. I'm so glad the mountain view and pool were a hit with the grandchildren, and that the check-in details made settling in easy. We'd love to host your family again next time you're in the area.
