Beautiful house in a beautiful setting

I grew up in the Appalachian mountains so leaving Michigan for a mountain vacation we wanted to feel like we were in the mountain woods, this house definitely delivered! A very cute neighborhood with old trees and paths. The only reason I can’t give 5 stars is that it was very noisy 2 out of 3 days we were there with a lot being cleared for new construction. If you’ll be sending a lot of daytime hours at the house be aware this might feel disruptive. The only other reason we couldn’t give 5 stars was now having stayed with many VRBOs I am always a little disappointed when there is a checkout routine that requires morning of departure frenzy to take sheets off beds, hang up towels, take our trash, do dishes etc. With two kids I’ve really appreciated other places that just ask to at the house is left tidy and let the cleaning fee go towards all the “check out” chores. We felt our last day morning here was chore-filled. Otherwise we were so happy with the house and setting and would definitely go back if/when there is a lull in construction work.

We love Owl’s Nest

We have been making entendres weekends trips to black mountain for several years and always stay at Cheshire Village. The location is convenient and the cabins are fantastic. Third time returning to Owls nest. It is well furnished and spacious. Feels secluded but close to everything. Looking forward to our next visit.

Great place near nice town of black mountain

House was really nice, clean in a great neighborhood. Master bedroom and 2nd bedroom areas were nice sized. The third bedroom if you needed it was small and semi connected to second but would work great for family/kids etc. Kitchen had everything you need though was a tad small as was the main floor living area. It was a good space for 4 adults but might feel tight w 6. Walking distance to cafe, pub and sushi. Short drive to black mountain. Highly recommend. Would definitely return if staying in black mountain.

Owls Nest is the CUTEST!!!

Great location! Our dog was welcome, great runs/walks around the neighborhood, and communication was always prompt! Inside, things were modern yet cozy. The kitchen was well-stocked, two TVs and lots of room for our family!!!! It is nicely decorated, is very clean, is move-in ready and the homemade bread from a local bakery was a nice touch! Could not be a better location for the sweet town of Black Mountain. We are planning to return!

Lovely cabin, beautifully decorated, few small annoyances

The cabin is lovely. Nice furniture and decor and well supplied with all you need to prepare meals, enjoy morning coffee or an evening cocktail. The cabin was clean and well maintained overall. A few small issues we encountered included a toilet that didn’t flush properly, an oven that didn’t heat up like it should and the wifi password was incorrectly advertised in the welcome email. I passed these along to the rental company and hopefully they will be rectified for the next guests. Overall, we were pleased with our stay, but for the nightly rent, I feel these issues should have been resolved in advance of our arrival.
