Black Bear Cottage boasts an unbeatable location, a 3-minute drive to downtown Black Mountain, “the front porch of Western North Carolina”. Although nestled in the woods for privacy, the cottage is just minutes away from fine dining and shopping.

Whether you’re taking in the fresh air on one of the 9 hiking/walking/biking trails or enjoying watching the children play on the community playground (all within 150 yards of your cottage doorstep), Black Bear Cottage is the perfect family getaway.

The space
Black Bear Cottage is a family-owned, newly renovated, framed home nestled in the woods of western North Carolina next to a gentle brook. The updated fully-equipped kitchen has space for the entire family to gather for dinner and conversation after a day of exploring. The kitchen is complete with an island and all the cookware/utensils needed to prepare a home-cooked meal or enjoy take-out from one of Black Mountain’s niche restaurants. The large pantry and laundry room provides plenty of space to store food, adventure equipment, or unique shopping finds.

The cottage offers two separate family lounging areas. Enjoy game night in the living room in front of the decorative woodstove or movie night in the den on the 65inch Smart OLED TV. With high-speed internet and a comfortable work desk, you’ll have no trouble catching up on email or work projects while the family enjoys the 100+ channels plus Netflix, Disney Plus, and Amazon Prime Video.

After exploring the unique culture of Asheville or the small-town feel of Black Mountain, you can escape to the private second floor to relax. Here you can snooze or just enjoy beautiful views from the master bedroom with its private half bath.

The main floor has two bedrooms equipped with bunk beds, one with a full mattress on the bottom. Should extra sleeping space be needed, the pull out queen sleeping sofa will have you well-rested and ready to hit the hiking trails the next day. The main floor full bathroom has a tub/shower ready to enjoy a relaxing bath after a full day of sight-seeing.

We know traveling with small children can be a packing challenge. Black Bear Cottage is equipped with a high chair and a Pack n’ Play so you can concentrate on only bringing the items your family needs to have fun.

Last, but definitely not least, we know you will enjoy relaxing as you sit on the back covered porch and enjoy listening to the gentle brook flowing through the backyard. Whether enjoying a cup of morning coffee or an afternoon glass of wine, this outside area is the perfect quiet spot to get your thoughts together or share them with a loved one.

Location:
This mountain cottage was designed as a turnkey experience for vacationing travelers who want to be centrally located but feel isolated from the world around them. Asheville, the Biltmore Estate, Chimney Rock, Lake Lure, Mt Mitchell, the Smokies, and the Blue Ridge Parkway are right at your fingertip when staying with us. Black Mountain, named as the best small town in the U.S, has a growing reputation as an outdoor recreation hotspot with a Hallmark downtown area.
