Just what we needed.

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.

This was a great property. Clean and just as advertised. We had everything we needed. Once you went in the fence it was very private but close to town. It was a great stay and we would stay again.

Cute and Dog Friendly!

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!

Quaint cottage with amazing little town!

This is our 3rd time staying at cranberry cottage and we enjoyed this stay just as much as the last 2! We were greeted with a snack, bottle of wine and fresh eggs. The electric fireplace is also a nice touch in the winter. We already booked another weekend! Go to my fathers pizza and ask for Lettie! Food is delicious and her service is amazing!

Cranberry Cottage

Had a very nice, comfortable weekend at Cranberry Cottage. The cottage was perfect for my wife and I, and our dog. The cottage is small but with the fenced yard and the open double doors we felt like the whole property was just a large indoor/outdoor living area. Very comfortable. We hadn't traveled with our dog before but she felt very happy wandering around the place, and we felt confident enough to leave her there while we went into town for a meal. The location is nice. Access was easy and communication with the owners was prompt. We enjoyed our stay very much. Thanks

Cozy Black Mountain Getaway

We stayed at Cranberry Cottage three nights with our two small dogs. A main reason we chose this rental was the wrap around fencing for our dogs and we’re glad we did. While it is on a somewhat busy street, the neighborhood is quiet and with the fence, it feels like your own little oasis. The owner, Bill, was great to work with and had everything all set for us upon our arrival. The gift of a bottle of wine was a nice touch too. While we did not try to walk to town with our two small dogs, it’s such a short, easy ride into town that it worked beautifully for our needs. It’s such a fun town to visit and an easy drive to Asheville.

Love Black Mtn!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Bill Alexander

Host profile image
We love to travel and love to cater to other travelers coming to visit our beautiful area. We live in Asheville but frequent Black Mountain often to visit our parents who live there, to hike our favorite trails and simply to enjoy the small mountain village vibe thats just a few minutes from Asheville. We manage our rentals as a large family operation often letting our 11 and 8 year old girls assist as well as sometimes calling on my parents to help as they live less than a mile away. We look forward to hosting you at our cottage.

Why they chose this property

This is the place for a couple, or close friends, who want to visit the Asheville/ Blue Ridge area; and not be car-dependent for shopping and dining,yet maintain quiet privacy indoors and out. it is cozy, safe, comfortable. Someone will enjoy Cranberry Cottage if they visit the restaurants and music venues that are within walking distance, enjoy hiking or driving the Blue Ridge Parkway, and want a compact one bedroom Cottage comfortable for two people and a great private yard for pets or a child.

What makes this property unique

Cranberry Cottage is close in to downtown Black Mountains , 10-15 minutes to Asheville, in a quiet wooded residential area , yet very private and secure for visiting children(2 or 4 legged)!
South facing double-double doors face the southern Swannanoa mountains yet the cottage is covered in the shade of 100 year old hardwoods. Great gas grill, sitting area, firepit outdoors. Easy parking. Very, Very safe area.
