This is a very cute and clean place! We enjoyed our stay, although it was a rainy weekend, so we did not explore the town much as we came for music, but what we did see of the town was great! The location is ideal for walking in town.The only downside to this place is the matress we slept on was a bit on the soft side, and the coffee make is so small you have to make multiple pots for more than 1 person. Other than that this place is great, better than a hotel since you have a full kitchen, nice balcony to hang out and I guess a fire pit that we did not use. I'm not sure if this place has mountain views as it was too rainy to see much.

Nice property! The kitchen is amazing, so if you’re staying longer term, this is great! 4 burner gas stovetop, microwave, and big air fryer! Bedrooms are smallish, but perfectly adequate with queen beds. Living room area comfortable with couch and loveseat. Overhead recessed lighting, but I would recommend lamp as well for more subtle options. The overhead lights are kind of glaring and bright. Bathroom is great, very strong water pressure in the shower! Love it! The porch is so great to sit and chill, our dog’s favorite spot. Host is responsive and great!

Excellent location, comfortable unit

We were able to book both units in this duplex for a family holiday gathering. Certainly, we could not have found anything better located in Black Mountain. As the property description indicates, we were just five minutes from the center of this lovely small town and five minutes from Lake Tomahawk Park. All of us, including our dogs, enjoyed our stay in Take-a-Hike.

Immaculate Getaway Cottage in Ideal Spot

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night visit to Black Mountain, and couldn’t have been happier with this cottage! Everything we needed was there — and it’s SO clean😀! After daily hikes and touring the town, we relaxed each evening with a glass of wine on the front porch. Super dog friendly house with tons of great walks. The neighborhood is quiet despite being right next to the downtown shops & restaurants. Loved every minute!

Perfect location!

Do not look at Google maps for this place. It’s way outdated. This place is gorgeous inside and out and would definitely come here again. Not only is it the perfect spot, but it absolutely quiet at night. I wish I could have had time to use the fire pit behind the house. I loved the balcony and the beds were super comfortable. It was amazing.

Perfect Location in Black Mountain

We really loved this place for our family of 4 (2 kids under 12). Locations was perfect - close to stores, restaurants, a "Little Library" on the corner, near Ashville, and one exit away from our kid's overnight camp. The beds were super comfy and they did a great job with the renovation.

Mountain getaway

Great little apartment in downtown Black Mountain and short drive to Asheville. We were in town for a big bike race and we’re very happy and comfortable with this home. Kitchen was fully stocked, beds were comfortable and the deck was relaxing. Highly recommend for those seeking adventure. Great hiking, biking, coffee and dining in the area. Hope to return soon!

This property has a great location, wether you are wanting to leave your car parked and walk to the many local sites and attractions near by or use it as a centrally located base to do day and half day excursions. The owners are extra friendly and accommodating. We had a last minute change in travel plans and needed to add an extra night. No problem. I would definitely recommend them. Also since there are two units, It would be great for couples or groups traveling together.

Perfect stay from start to finish.

We absolutely loved everything about our 1 week stay in this wonderful apartment. From booking through check-out the communication was quick and they bent over backwards to make sure we enjoyed our time there. The location can't be beat with only a 5 minute walk to both all of the shops and restaurants downtown, and a 5 minute walk to beautiful Lake Tomahawk park. The apartment was sparkling clean, which is so important to us during these times. They also provided many personal touches that went above and beyond most rental properties - a bottle of wine when we arrived, coffee, snacks, information on local attractions, and many more. Next time we are in Black Mountain we will not think of booking anywhere else!
