About this house rental

Unique architectural style meets Black Mountain neighborhood charm. This designer space stimulates the artists-at-heart and provides a gracefully modern space suitable for a long or short-term stay. Located on a quiet street in the heart of town, you'll have easy access to all Black Mountain has to offer. Take a 15min stroll downtown to enjoy local shops and restaurants or a 5min walk to Lake Tomahawk. Additionally, you'll be less than a 10min drive from the beautiful hiking trails of Montreat.

The Mac House is a very special place and we couldn't be more excited to share it with you.

Those familiar with the Black Mountain architecture and design world will recognize the home as one designed and built by Horace McGuire “Mac” Wood. Horace was a “small house designer” who was part of the faculty at Black Mountain College in the early 1940s where he taught design and construction. After his career at the college, Mac designed homes throughout Black Mountain over the course of the next two decades. This home was built in 1947 and recently renovated with careful intention to keep the spirit of the home’s design intact.

Though quirky in style, the home is highly functional for all aspects of living, including a kitchen/dining area; a living room overlooking the backyard; a master bedroom with an adjoining half-bathroom; and an additional room which can be utilized as a workspace, studio, or additional bedroom. The house has a new front and back porch, which are ideal spaces to enjoy the serene environment the home is enveloped by.

You will enjoy access to the entire home during your stay. For your convenience, the house is set up for contactless self check-in with a lock box.

Grab your morning coffee and walk outside to the lake, where you can enjoy the beautiful half-mile trail. In the evenings after 7:30pm, the nearby golf course cart path is available to the public for an after-dinner stroll to see the stars.

Have a large group and need more room? Our sister location, The Carriage House, can sleep up to 4 (a well designed studio with a queen bed, couch, and room for air mattress) and is situated next door to the Mac house, sharing all the perks of its location. Book both to accommodate a larger party!

We loved staying at this house, it had everything we needed and the bed was super comfortable! The process was great and we'd absolutely go back again! So many well thought about details at the property!

Easy check in and out with everything you need in an experience of a “small” home! The property is exactly how stated and pictured. The location is perfect with easy access to all Black Mountain has to offer, and a short drive to Asheville. We had a bear visit for a late night snack from the trash bin (I still choose to believe it was a raccoon) and the owners were very responsive to that and felt like you were talking with a friend. You can’t go wrong staying here!

The history and character of this special place is minimally yet thoughtfully and efficiently expressed in every detail. From the original design to the recent renovations, the space just feels amazing and fits perfectly into this sweet Mountain community. Michael was incredibly. He and his wife have done an incredible job fixing this place up and providing guests with all they need for an amazing stay. We walked to town each day and back- lovely, safe neighborhood. Hope to return.

The Mac House was super cute, thoughtfully furnished and designed, and close to black mountain and Asheville while still being cozy and private. Beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces, and host was great about checking in and providing recommendations for the best experience in Black Mountain. Also appreciated how easy check in and check out were, no complicated key systems or excessive cleaning required :) 10/10 would recommend for a couples weekend getaway. Would definitely rebook in the future!

The house was close to a man-made lake (Park)with a nice walking trail just a block away. Less than 5 minutes to town, shopping, groceries, and restaurants. I'm 6'4" and had to duck through a couple of doors upstairs, but was very happy with our stay.

My stay in Black Mountain, NC, booked via VRBO, was exceptional, largely thanks to our host Michael. I travel a lot and always stay in hotels. This was my first time using VRBO. As a VRBO newbie, I had lots of questions, and Michael's detailed responses made me feel incredibly comfortable and well-prepared. The property was exactly as advertised—clean, inviting, and true to the pictures. Michael's personal hiking recommendations were a highlight, guiding us to breathtaking trails we would have missed otherwise. His knowledge and hospitality added so much to our experience. I highly recommend this property and Michael's hosting for anyone looking to explore this beautiful area. Exceptional service, beautiful accommodations, and an unforgettable experience.

My husband and I spent three days at the Mac House and couldn't have asked for a better stay! The property was clean, beautifully decorated, super functional, well stocked, and in a fantastic location - walking distance to Lake Tomahawk and minutes from town. Unfortunately, we were so busy we didn't have time to use the new hot tub, but it's right off of the porch and very private. Also really liked the yard with the fire pit in back. The host, Michael, was super helpful and responsive. We highly recommend this property and will definitely stay there again.

We really enjoyed our time in Black Mountain. The house was cozy and had all the essentials we needed to cook some meals and enjoy relaxed evenings. Small touches were noticed - including coffee/tea for us & a basket of toys for our toddler. Michael (host) responded promptly with issues - including the water being too cold - and fixed it immediately (thanks!). The location is ideal - a 5 minute walk to a cute little lake loop with a playground and 15 minute hilly walk to town where there are lots of nice restaurants (try TrailHead!) and cute shops. There are also nice hikes nearby - Montreat (10 mins away) and some longer hikes within an hour away. Would definitely stay here again :)

We really enjoyed our stay. Great hosts that went above and beyond to make us comfortable. The home had everything we could’ve needed… seriously, we could’ve left at least one bag at home from all the things packed into this little house. Great location, the walk to downtown is right at 15 minutes, but be warned that it’s almost straight uphill! The good news is coming back is almost all downhill! Highly recommend for anyone that needs just enough space to call home for a few days in Black Mountain!

Love the town of Black Mountain. This treasure of a town offers everything you need for a quiet getaway or if you are in the Ashville area for work. Great food, music, and shopping. Not to mention this rental is situated close to Lake Tomahawk and within walking distance of downtown. Five stars all around +
