Quaint little garden cottage

This little cottage is the perfect little place for a romantic getaway. Easily walkable to downtown Black Mountain, the chic decor and updated amenities kept us warm and comfortable, even in the frosty month of December. The outdoor garden area provides a tranquil space, even in dormant winter times. With the dedicated off street parking, beautiful interior, gracious hostess, and proximity to town, this is a true 10/10.

Delightful cozy cottage!

We were able to hike within 10 minute drive, walk into town for meals, coffee, etc. We had a cozy cottage with plenty of room for the two of us. Everything worked well, and Shirley greeted us when we arrived. We loved it!

Anniversary Trip

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Even though the cottage was small, it was perfect and had everything we needed. And the porch was so great to sit and enjoy the beautiful gardens and listen to the birds. We enjoyed talking with the owner and meeting her little dog Sugar.

Fabulous cottage

We loved the cottage and the lovely garden in front of our private abode. We ate on the porch every day with a sweet rose tablecloth and a handcut real rose in a vase. It was just a sweet stay and will definitely go back!

Lovely Cottage!

We enjoyed our stay. The cottage was a great home base to visit The Biltmore, The Grove Park Inn, and we also did a downtown Asheville food tour. Downtown Black Mountain is quaint with places to shop and delicious places to eat which are within walking distance from the cottage!

An enchanting cottage

It was just lovely! The garden and the house were just enchanting! Not only was it beautiful, it was convenient and had all that we needed to make our stay comfortable. Only suggestion would be to have a more comfortable chair in living area. Our host Shirley, was friendly and her little dog, Sugar was an extra treat for us!!welcoming and her

Cute Cottage for a Friends Getaway

This was the cutest little cottage perfect for a friends/girls/moms night away for my long time best friend and I to reconnect. Located walking distance to downtown. One thing for awareness is there is one parking place but there is free parking lot availability nearby.

This cottage was just right for a mother daughter weekend. It was very clean, had comfortable beds, and every detail was considered! It was also a very convenient location. We would absolutely stay there again next time we visit Black Mountain.

A great quaint cottage

This cottage made for an excellent place to live and relax in while we spent the week on vacation. The owner, Shirley, was super nice and accommodating. If you're new or old to the area of Black Mountain or Asheville, this is definitely the cottage to enjoy your surroundings in.
