This is our second time at this property, and we had a wonderful stay & visit w/family friends. It's a perfect size for us & our dog was welcome too & having the fenced in yard was perfect!
Cranberry Cottage is a quaint little cottage that was perfect for me and my 3 dogs. The fenced in back yard was a great place to let the dogs run around in. I did not get the chance, but I bet sitting on the patio around the fireplace would be wonderful!
Cozy cabin and the dogs loved the fenced yard. Black Mountain was a great town and we had lots of fun exploring all around the area. We will definitely book again!
It was just what we needed for the weekend. The owners were responsive and accomodated our request. It was clean and the size and location worked great for us. The property was quirky but included evrything we needed. More lighting between the gate and the front door would be really awesome.
Easy arrival ,off street parking was great! Fenced in back yard was perfect for the pups so clean! ! The cottage was perfect clean quiet well equipped A/C work perfect and beautifully maintained! Location was perfect close to town and a short walk to a restaurant! We will be back and did I say clean!!! Also we where also luck no one was coming in and could check out later! Thank you so much!
I was so appreciative of Bill and Laura's communication and willingness to work with us. Our pet sitter had backed out last minute and they were willing to let us bring our small pack of puppers! The fenced-in yard was a big hit for the dogs and the simple, but elegant interior was perfect for my fiance and I for just stretching out at the end of the day. Highly recommend this property!
There were a couple of issues which have been resolved. One was during our stay(didn’t know how to work the tv/Roku). Messaged then spoke with Bill and was able to understand how to work things. I would suggest having a written step by step instruction there at the house for others in case it’s needed.
There was a another issue which was addressed and corrected after we left.
Bill was always available to help us.
We enjoyed our stay and the wine was a very nice touch.
Black Mtn is definitely our happy place.
Cute cottage close to downtown. You can walk to town, although some of the way there is no sidewalk. Several choices for food and entertainment, some had live music. The cottage is located very close to Graybeard trail and Outlook trail and not too far from other things to do. The yard is completely fenced. That was nice since we stayed with dogs. There is a front porch area and fire pit. The cottage is right on the street corner so there is some level of traffic noise, and the fenced yard helps reduce the traffic noise. The place is a little quirky. It was clean and comfortable. Everything worked as expected. Kitchen had enough plates and silverware. We enjoyed our stay.
The entire property was enclosed with a tall, solid fence so we felt closed in with no view.
The bed is more of a cot that sank somewhat...making getting in and out somewhat of a challenge.
TV was through Roku rather than cable as advertised.
Those being the worst, it was a pleasant time for us...it was very clean, the owner was very responsive to our inquiries and it was quiet. Everything worked for us.

Be careful to fully read the property description
We looked forward to our month at Cranberry Cottage. Check-in went fine. The description of the cottage stated "freshly remodeled". Reading the description further it said the work was done in 2015, 9 years ago. The description and reviews emphasized how clean it was. This is why we chose this unit over others. We opened the front door and were immediately overwhelmed by a dank, musty smell. The single a/c unit in the hallway froze us. The rest of the cottage was uncomfortably hot. A dehumidifier in the kitchen ran continuously and heated it in the process. The kitchen was not clean. We tried to put groceries away but found dead cockroaches on shelves and we removed a lot of dirt when we wiped them off. Food had to stay packed in our boxes. We tried to fall asleep and couldn't. At 4am we packed the car and left. The host was responsive to us, but true communication was lacking.
His suggestions, including us paying for commercial cleaners, were unacceptable. We continued our vacation (we stayed at the cottage for 8hrs but we had paid for 28 days) staying at motels. We returned occasionally to see if the odor was gone. There was less, but still too much for us. The description of the cottage is misleading and the host, while responsive, did virtually nothing towards a solution. A very expensive mistake that we will not repeat.
The house was easy to find, had everything we needed. Bill checked on us shortly after we arrived to make sure everything was in order. Even in a fairly busy area, it was extremely quiet. We had a very nice visit and would definitely stay again.

Very nice place that's close to town
A nice place with plenty of space for our weekend stay. We'd definitely stay here again
This place was great. Just what I needed for me and my husband plus our two dogs. Was very clean. The yard was super cute for kids or dogs and the firepit was a bonus. Very nice hosts. It could use slight upgrades in terms of furniture but everything was tidy and functional. It was about 5-10 minutes from downtown area and you could probably walk to some breweries in about a mile! Overall we would stay here again I really feel like the photos make it look smaller than it actually was. We had a good time!
