I think the description of the home is a bit overrated. It's quite dated, the layout is a bit strange (there's another review that talks about this in detail), and there were errors in the number of bathrooms hat were listed which was one of our primary considerstions for choosing this home. Otherwise, the location was great and communication with the host was good. ##### Andrea L. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathy K., Birmingham, AL Jul 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing Retreat The house is as shown in photos. It was comfortable and had a very appreciated and generous supply of starter supplies such as hand soap, dish soap and paper towels. The owner was quick to respond to questions and called to see how our stay was going. The weather was exceptionally hot and humid during our stay, but the AC did a great job keeping the house cool. The Nest thermostat is easily adjustable with just a turn of the dial. The covered porch on the main level off the sunroom is totally surrounded by trees, has a nice table and chairs, and is a lovely spot for morning coffee, meals, or evening relaxing. The house is at the end of a very quiet Cul-de-sac shared with two other houses but feels very private as the other houses can't be seen through the woods. As was mentioned in a previous review, for pets there is no grass or lawn at all on the property. There is a flat area with gravel next to the garage that worked for our dog, or a short walk on the edge of the quiet street. On our first morning there we watched a very large black bear meandering around the driveway and street. Awesome! Highly recommend the Black Mountain Bistro for dinner. It has great outdoor seating, and the food is outstanding. Fresh Wood Fired Pizza and Pasta is very good, and also has a great covered outdoor eating area. The Flowering Bridge in Lake Lure was stunning, and we had a great outdoor lunch from The Lured Market and Grill. The streamside path from the Montreat Gate to the college is a great pet walk. Everywhere we encountered in the area was pet friendly. We would definitely return to Black Mountain again and would return to this house again. Thank you to the owners for being pet friendly! ##### Kathy K. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathy N.

We enjoyed very comfortable accommodations with a well-equipped kitchen, spacious first-floor bedroom with a very large walk-in closet and bathroom with a separate shower, soaking tub and vanity. The sunroom was delightful, surrounded by shade trees, making us feel as though we were in a tree house…a lovely place to enjoy socializing or reading. The location was ideal for us; on a secluded cul de sac, surrounded by beautiful woods but close to the interesting town of Black Mountain. Ed, the owner, was readily accessible by email to answer questions. The guest book in the home provides detailed information on operation of the Nest thermometer, the electronics (TVs, sound system, Wi-Fi) as well as restaurant reviews and places to visit. Would we stay here again...absolutely! ##### Patricia D. Stayed 15 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kenneth H.

Nov 30, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### All in All a Great Place We loved the place and location but feel some updating needs to be done. Both bathrooms and kitchen are out of date, the upstairs bath is small and cramped. Bath and kitchen towels are old, well used and stained - need complete replacement. King sheets/comforter set are outdated and the fitted sheet is too small for the mattress - had to put back on every day. Microwave is rusted and needs replacing. Even given all that, we absolutely loved our stay and location. The sunroom was my favorite room. We'd stay here again if it were still on VRBO. ##### Christine T.
