We travel to Black Mountain every year and this has been our best house so far. It is in a beautiful and serene neighborhood. The house is gorgeous and the listing was accurate. We had an ac issue during our stay and the property manager quickly responded and resolved the issue. There are little trails throughout the neighborhood and a little creek. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this home. We will likely stay here again!

The property was spotless and beautifully decorated. It fit 4 of us great. Neighborhood is gorgeous and the management company is very professional, accommodating and friendly. Wish there were more lights, a view of the mountains and the tv wasn’t so awkward. Would recommend!!

Everything was just as it was supposed to be. It was our fourth rental in this neighborhood. BUT on the first night the windows were rattling and it sounded like a truck was parked outside the master to make such a noise and effect. We turned the entire hvac off and could not figure out the noise. Sleeping on the couch in the middle of the house helped but it was a terrible night. The next morning we did tell property management. They did come out to claim they found nothing wrong. There is a compressor outside the master windows. Well the noise was gone when we go back but clearly something was broke and fixed. We were frustrated at the misery of one nights sleep and the effort and coordination needed the next day when we were supposed to be relaxed on a fishing trip. They offered $100 off a $3k booking only. I declined that and they said that was just dandy. Recommended we check out for a full refund and go to a hotel. Pretty snarky especially if you’ve been to black mountain. There’s one hotel. I think the maintenance team missed a regular maintenance on the compressor and then lied to the management team who then gaslit us. Should have been handled better.
