About this property

Enjoy Slow Pace Cottage

This is a quaint and newly renovated 1930’s stone cottage. It sits in the blue ridge mountains, in the heart of Black Mountain, NC. It is located in a quiet neighborhood so you can relax, but also just a short stroll to several wonderful restaurants, pubs, and shopping. Nearby is a lake, hiking trails, the blue ridge parkway, playgrounds and a beautiful golf course. Black Mountain is charming and has so much to offer. Asheville is just a 10 minute drive. The home has a beautiful front porch, as well as a large fenced in back yard, for grilling, a bonfire, game of corn hole, or relaxing in the hammock. There is a large covered area so you can enjoy even if it rains. The master bedroom has a queen size bed, the second bedroom has a queen size bed, the living room has a sleeper sofa, there is a cot upon request. The home is equipped with flat screen T.V.'s in both bedrooms and living room, cable, internet, a DVD player in bedroom, and DVR in Living room. The home also has books, games, puzzles, corn hole, dartboard, hammock and sandbox. Stowed away we have a pack n play, stroller and high chair for the little ones. We hope you enjoy the exciting and peaceful living of the Appalachian Mountains while at slow pace cottage!

We had such a wonderful stay at this Black Mountain property. The beds were so comfortable and there was an amazing backyard set up for evening fires. We loved having our dog with us also, with a very dog- friendly house that’s only minutes from everything.

Slow Pace Cottage was very peaceful. We enjoyed the front porch swing. The fenced backyard was enjoyed by our dog. The back patio was a pleasant surprise. The interior was pleasantly decorated and most welcoming. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and utensils. The Keurig coffee was a wonderful surprise. We would enjoy staying again.

Thank you for sharing your pet friendly cottage. Excellent space and comfortable beds to sleep in. Appreciate the dog beds and bowls and nice touches /extra blankets were nice. Excellent proximity to town and it was excellent for our needs. Water temperature in shower was a bit tricky to regulate but understandable due to the age of the property. Washer and dryer worked great!

Just what we needed

Needed a place to stay over Thanksgiving since my relatives didn't have enough room in their own house. Slow Pace cottage was perfect for us - comfortable, all the things we needed, dog-friendly. I would stay here again.

It's a very nice cottage like home. We had trouble with the wifi but I think that is more to do with us being in our 80's than anything else. Kitchen was clean and pots and pans were there for us to make our own meals.The backyard was excellent for our dogs, and the bed was big enough for all of us. We didn't use the second bedroom --- perhaps next time.
