Glen and Karyn would like to welcome you to “Black Mountain Side”, a new home completed in January of 2023. We’ve designed a wonderfully adorned, modern home with complementary rustic, farmhouse and industrial décor. BMS will be especially appealing to those people who can appreciate the many hours that we dedicated to designing a warm, artistic and a bit whimsical home. We are now proud to announce that we've recently installed a universal Tesla EV charger. Furthermore, we do allow for small dogs (under 20lbs), please note there is a $50/night fee for the dogs.

Speaking of warmth, BMS contains two gas fireplaces, the second of which is located in the tree-lined Sunroom. You’ll enjoy spending quiet time in this beautiful room, basking in the comfort and glow of the stone fireplace. During the warmer months, you can open the windows to savor the cool mountain breeze, yet stay protected from fly's and mosquitos. It also provides the perfect social setting for sharing appetizers, cocktails or even meals with your family and/or friends.

BMS is about a 15 minute walk to downtown Black Mountain. We are also about an 8 minute walk to a few restaurants/bars in Cheshire Village. Next to these restaurants is a beautiful path along a rolling stream. If you enjoy a scenic morning walk, it's about a 40 minute round trip walk along the stream and back to the house.

Perhaps you will recognize the name Black Mountain Side. It is the song title of an haunting acoustic song that appears on Led Zeppelin’s first album. Being big fans of the band, when Glen and Karyn realized that they would be a building a home in Black Mountain, they instantly knew what the name of their new home would be. With this knowledge, hopefully you can appreciate the Welcome Plaque that Glen created for BMS.
