An original Black Mountain College cottage in a private wooded property

We had an amazing time at the Alber’s Cottage! It had plenty of space for our 3 teenagers (plus a friend) and the boys didn’t even have to share a room which they appreciated! We had exactly 35 hours to spend with our daughter who is a camp counselor close by and this place made our short visit with her even more enjoyable. We spent a lot of time by the fire pit behind the property and it was well stocked with wood which made it easy to build a fire. Finding the cottage the first time was a bit tricky but if you follow the instructions on the arrival instructions you will be fine. There is an open air barn on the property with a ping pong table and corn hole which was also a lot of fun. We were able to be outside even when it was raining. We watched fireworks from the property for July 4th that are set off by a boys camp next door. We even did a little fishing on the property. The sunset over the pond was beautiful! We spent a day exploring Black Mountain which was also a lot of fun! Such a cute little town! Lee was great to work with and made our stay even more enjoyable! We wouldn’t hesitate to book here again!

Location beautiful and peaceful.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Black Mountain. Lovely, spacious cabin, well stocked and comfortable. A bit of noise and activity, including shooting from the rifle range at the nearby boys summer camp but we still had a great stay.

The property, while historic, was well past cabin shabby chic. The property is dilapidated and in need of a full renovation . The photos and price do not give a true representation of the dis-repair. The deck is rotting, baths are falling apart, doors are rotten and let in bugs. It has s potential, but truly should not have been up for rent in its current condition.
