The cabin was perfect for what we needed. The location is a little tricky to get to but once there is was nice and quiet and offered a lot of amenities. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub. We also used what looked like a brand new grill to cook on site. We would definitely stay there again in the future.
We had a wonderful time at the house. The game room was so fun and it was nice to have room for everyone to spread out and relax. The walking trails were great for the dog and there was a ton of fauna to enjoy. Right by the house was jewelweed, sassafras, plantain, wild blueberries, blackberry bushes, and rhododendron! We loved it and hope to return soon.
This is one of our favorite places to relax. The home was spotless and welcoming upon arrival. We had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. We love exploring the trails as well as the peace and quiet of the property. A trip to downtown Black Mountain for lunch and the local breweries is not to be missed. I highly recommend this property to anyone staying in the Black Mountain/Asheville area.
We had a wonderful stay at the house. Quiet and surrounded by woods - just what we needed! Only issue is that we have an old dog with hip issues, so tackling the long staircase to the house was a challenge for her, but she managed in the end. And she loved the little trail and creek on property!
This mountain cabin was perfect for our family. We had plenty of space, games and movies inside and fun trails on the property that allowed us to explore with our kids. Coffee on the porch overlooking the pond was a nice quiet morning bonus. The cabin was well equipped with everything we needed. Our family rates this cabin a 10 out of 10. We hope to be back in the near future.
The cabin was beautiful. The grounds were spacious and gorgeous. The gravel RR tie steps up to the house were difficult to climb (I have bad knees and hips). It would be better with a king size bed with a softer mattress on the main level. The High Acres road from Hwy 9 needs to be paved. Too many pot holes! Didn't feel comfortable traveling the roads from Hwy 9 to the property at night due to road conditions. Thanks! Tami
The cabin and location are beautiful! Very quiet and peaceful. Our primary purpose for the trip was to visit the Biltmore and the location was perfect.
Great home base for our visit! We hiked the property and many trails in the area. Golf and great times on Lake Lure rounded out the vacation. This was our second stay at this property and we’ll certainly consider it again if we return to the area.
We had a FABULOUS time and will definitely recommend to others! Kitchen is VERY well stocked!
The owners and property managers are very easy to reach if there are any questions and all were very helpful and friendly! Thank you for a wonderful week and the teens LOVED the air hockey and foosball table!

Great experience here
Great house and great owners who rent the place out. We had an amazing weekend there and the owners were very friendly and immediately returned the deposit. Thx for letting us stay Sherri!
Black Mountain and the surrounding area is gorgeous. We loved the cabin and all the amenities it had to offer. The only negative was the road up to the cabin was terrible and our car took a beating.
We had a great time at the high rock preserve. The kids and dogs enjoyed playing in the creek and the trails on the property were very convenient. The house had everything we needed, including games for the kids. We throughly enjoyed our stay.
This listing is just as advertised, a beautiful mountain cabin. The property has some nice short trails. Each floor has its own bedroom and bathroom, giving each person plenty of space. If we make it back to Black Mountain we would definitely stay here again!
