Located within walking distance of downtown Black Mountain, this newly constructed and pet-friendly cottage offers unparalleled convenience and comfort that is perfect for a family vacation or getaway with close friends. There is a bedroom on the main floor with a king bed and full bath. Upstairs is a bedroom with a king bed and another bedroom with two twins. In the morning, enjoy a delicious breakfast of pancakes and coffee at the colorful outdoor dining table on the covered front porch while planning the day's itinerary and listening to the hum of downtown nearby. On those extra sunny days, take a brief stroll to Black Mountain Golf Course to play a round or two before grabbing a savory snack of soft pretzels and beer cheese, and a refreshing sweet tea at the Golf Club's new Green Tee Grille.

Keep exploring all that town has to offer by making your way to downtown Black Mountain where you'll find a number of novelty shops, art galleries, restaurants, bars, and cafes along with the Swannanoa Valley Regional History Museum and the White Horse Music and performing arts venue. After strolling and shopping to your heart's content, sit down for a delicious lunch on the spacious patio of the Black Mountain Bistro, and then visit the Black Mountain Brewing taproom to drink a craft beer with the finest local ingredients. Once you've enjoyed the activities and attractions in town, stop by Lake Tomahawk Park on your way home to relax and take in the gorgeous scenery and wildlife. Speaking of, you're likely to spot a paddling of ducks waddling across the street using their designated crossing! Offering a picturesque view of the Seven Sisters Mountain range, the lake is a lovely place to walk at dusk as the sun begins to set.

For outdoor enthusiasts, Black Mountain is just 10 minutes from the town of Montreat where you can find endless walking trails that wind through lush rhododendrons, along babbling creeks, and lead to cliff faces overlooking the valley and towns below. You also have the option of driving a short distance into Old Fort or Asheville for hiking trails across various skill levels and landscapes. If hiking isn't your thing, but you still long for those breathtaking views, drive along the famous Blue Ridge Parkway to enjoy each season's changing foliage and stop along the overlooks to take pictures to remember your special time in the mountains.

After a full day of fun, come back home to cook dinner using the gourmet kitchen complete with granite countertops, stainless appliances, and a smooth surface stove. Once dinner is over, gather in the cozy living room to play a board game or watch a movie on the smart TV with wine from the Merry Wine Market and truffles from Kilwin's that you picked up in town earlier that day. True to its namesake, you're sure to feel a renewed sense of joy and inspiration as you vacation beneath the vast blue Carolina Skies at this chic and convenient cottage!
