Perfect for a large group. Open floor plan. Large wooden table for meals! Nice downstairs area for teens/young adults. Great wood fireplace! Lots of seating. Great hikes! This is our second time staying in the Catawba Falls development and we love it.

There 10-12 of us that get together at a different location every year and this year was Black Mountain,NC. We had a great time at the Wildcat Lodge. Plenty of room on the deck, where we were most of the time. Sleeping arrangements worked out great. Plenty of plates, glasses and cookware. Everyone loved the location and the house. Thanks so much for everything.

The Wildcat Lodge was exactly as advertised! It was well stocked and the furnishings were really nice. We really enjoyed our stay and the nearby amenities were great. I would strongly recommend this property to others and there's a good chance we book in the future for the same trip.

Great stay with extended family
We had a great stay at the wildcat lodge with extended family. There were fourteen of us ranging in age from 2 to 64 and the space worked out perfectly. The large main room was great as was the big deck. Although it’s a bit of a drive to get to Asheville we went numerous times and loved it, really enjoyed the Shindig on the Green. Black Mountain is relatively close and has shops, restaurants and a large grocery store. We also enjoyed Chimney Rock and Lure Lake. We’d definitely stay here again.

Wonderful House
We really enjoyed our time at Wildcat Lodge. The kitchen was well-stocked with cooking utensils and spices. The accommodations were comfortable and kid-friendly. Even a minor issue with the a/c unit was fixed quickly and with no interruption to our visit. Great house!

Great location and beautiful property
We stayed in Black Mountain with some friends and enjoyed our stay. The cabin was a short drive to the town and was close enough to Asheville for our teens to go on their own. The neighborhood hiking trail to Catawba falls was easy to follow and such a great place to have nearby. We also went boating on Lake James which is only a 45 minute drive. The cabin was clean and well-stocked with everything that we needed. The hosts responded quickly to our questions. We had a fantastic time and will certainly be returning!

Nice visit
Family had a nice visit to North Carolina. We stayed one week at the Wildcat lodge. The Host was very nice and quick to respond! Reception in area isn’t great but Wi-Fi at Lodge is good. Dumpster was a big issue for us as it was so far away and it made leaving harder having to pack trash with our belongings which made for tight fit. The house was comfy and accommodated most every need/desire.

Beautiful setting, cozy home!
There was plenty of room for all our family in this house. We appreciated the warm touches, lots of bathrooms, deck area, game room. Owner was responsive and even left cookie cake for us! We would stay here again but would recommend an update on map directions. Some of the directions are no longer accurate. Also, the surfaces and linens in the house were clean, but a deep cleaning is needed - lots of bugs in light fixtures, cooktop not quite clean. We had a problem with several drawers in kitchen just wanting to fall out the back when opened. Owner assured us she has carpenter on the way for that. No lack of kitchenware- in fact it is almost too much. Pots and pans were nearly falling out of every cabinet, with not much organization, so hard to find things. We suggest more lighting or brighter bulbs in bedrooms. Very dark in there. We had an amazing time, but just think some things need to be tweaked to make it perfect.
