Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erin P. 12 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Front Porch This was a great space to relax and enjoy the quaint town of Black Mountain. Although near town, it was a half mile walk. Sidewalks all the way though. The kitchen was updated and everything worked fine. The only issue - I would not use the sofa bed. It was not fit for sleeping. Suggest that owners replace that or at least add one of those memory foam toppers. Other beds were very comfy and bathrooms were clean and functional. ##### Erin P.

Close to downtown Black Mtn and Asheville is a short drive. ##### Janis H. Stayed 3 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David J. 16 May 2019 #### Black Mountain Weekend Wedding The property included a new addition with a modern kitchen, hardwood floors and a dining area, all of which was quite spacious. The kitchen had all of the essentials one would need to cook most anything and included confectionaries, coffee filters, supplies, etc. The two bedrooms could sleep 4, or 5 if you were to throw in a cot. It was comfortable and pleasant to stay right in the heart of the community but it felt like you were living in the woods. the bathrooms also had the essentials required to feel comfortable. Additionally, there was a laundry room and although we did not take advantage, the property includes a single car garage. Josh, the owner, stopped by to check in on us and we were impressed to see him so promptly after we arrived that Friday evening after a long drive. Overall we enjoyed our weekend stay at this very affordably priced rental home! ##### David J. Stayed 2 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lucinda W., Woodbridge, VA 14 May 2019 #### Great place to stay - close to everything!!! The front porch house was a great place to stay! Clean and comfortable and close to everything in Black Mountain/Montreat. We even took a brief ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway only 20 minutes away. Would highly recommend this VRBO. ##### Lucinda W. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen V. 13 May 2019 #### So fun! This is a great place to stay in Black Mountain! It's very specious, comfortable and clean. We spent three nights there with our two teen boys and large dog, and were sorry when that time came to an end. ##### Karen V.

House is a lot bigger than it seems from the outside. Did not get to spend time outside due to cold weather and rain. We will consider booking again on our next visit to the area. ##### David H. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Samantha W., Carrollton, GA 16 Jan 2019 #### Charming Town We enjoyed our weeekend getaway in the mountains. The location of the property was convenient to town. Spacious cabin & conveniently located. ##### Samantha W. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Lynn S. 13 Jan 2019 #### It was okay. My parents stayed here and they complained they were cold, there was no bath mat when got out of shower. I think they left a list of complaints. It embarrassed me because this was part of their Christmas present and they seemed very disappointed. I would not rent here again. It was a nice size for our family Christmas gathering and the kitchen was well stocked. Plenty of room in driveway for our cars. ##### Lynn S. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Beverly S. 5 Jan 2019 #### Lovely older home with lots of room. Well furnished and clean. Upon arrival we could not get the house warm. The owner responded quickly to come and resolve the issues. ##### Beverly S. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danny B., LAKE WYLIE 27 Nov 2018 #### Cute house. Great location. Overnight stay following Biltmore Candlelight Tour. Owner was great to work with. Allowed early check in and provided useful information about Black Mountain. Great recommendations for food. Loved Biltmore and Black Mountain. Will be back. ##### Danny B. Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Barbara F. 24 Nov 2018 #### Great Location, but house needs a thorough cleaning! House location is close to everything in Black Mountain and the surrounding area. Had a good time exploring the shops and restaurants and Montreat is such a wonderful place to get out and walk. We're into antiques and crafts and we had a lot of choices to look at. Ingles in Swannanoa was a wonderful grocery and had all that we needed for the days we stayed. I'd like to come back to this area when the weather is warmer, since getting out onto walking trails would have been a little cold for our group. The path along lake Tomahawk was really nice and they have a great area to picnic. I don't recommend this house for those of us who have mobility issues since the front steps are very tall and there are no grab bars in the bathrooms. ##### Barbara F. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Robin F. 5 Nov 2018 #### A great getaway with friends Overall, this property fit all of our needs... close to downtown Asheville, clean, enough beds, accessible owner, and a full kitchen. Joshua was very responsive when we had questions or concerns. However, there was a dramatic difference in temperature between the living area and the bedrooms, the sound of the TV wouldn’t go up (no matter what we tried), and the water was almost hot enough. None of these things were a big deal for us but worth mentioning. We would definitely return... it was an affordable alternative to seeing Asheville! Thanks for the hospitality. ##### Robin F. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### E F. 29 Oct 2018 #### Great for a group Cute place. Great areas for hanging out together. Clean and quiet. Owner was very responsive to questions. ##### E F. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Mary K. 28 Oct 2018 #### Good location Close to town-walkable. Good large open space for a group.
