The place was cute and loved sitting on the deck looking at the view. The directions were hard to follow and tough on the gravel narrow road. The twin beds were very squeaky and were just a foam pad not mattresses. The place was a nice mountain cabin to relax in
This was a lovely cabin on Black Mountain! It was very clean upon arrival with all the beds made (even the pull out) which was helpful. The view off the deck was worth the tense drive up the 0.9 mile drive up the gravel road. While a sedan did make it up the driveway, I would highly recommend four wheel drive or at a minimum a car with higher clearance. Overall this was a great stay and only 25 mins from Asheville! We felt safe the entire time which was important to us. I would recommend this cabin to those traveling to the Asheville area. Thank you for sharing your slice of mountain heaven with us!
The cabin was so cozy and comfortable, and the view from the deck was stunning. We took a break from our hectic schedules and enjoyed the seclusion and quiet this home offered.
Great stay in Black Mountain. Takes a little time to get their once you get off the hwy 9 but it is so worth it. Very secluded and great views. If you are looking to get away this is the place for you.
The host is very helpful. We had an excellent stay and would book again. The view is great and the cabin is well kept. AWD or 4 wheel drive is helpful to get here, but that’s how we roll! We had fun.
Lovely place to spend the weekend! Interesting place--one modern part and one rustic; best of both worlds! Well-equipped kitchen and host was amazing in terms of staying in touch. Got all checkin and checkout info right at the perfect time. Very quiet getaway. You won't be sorry if you book here! One tip: drive your vehicle that's good with stone/ruts in the road as the journey up the mountain is not for a compact car.
What an amazing view from the deck! And from the shower! Cute, cozy and clean plus comfy cabin. Perfect setting for my mom and I to have a long weekend. Great stay, thanks for having us!
