Quality offering with all the comforts of home. We would not change a thing.

We have stayed at Jean and Doug's "Babbling Brook" numerous times now with our Siberian Dakota and have thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful accomodations in such a beautiful location. We consider it our little "go to get away". Will be returning again and again....

The property was accurately described, peaceful.

It’s the perfect size for one or two people. Clean, very close to town, well appointed kitchen with tons of free snack goodies. Parking is tight. Overall great experience.

This property was fantastic and met every need. The location, cleanliness, and amenities were perfect. It was better than advertised because of Jean. She is such a warm and friendly host. We were welcomed by homemade cookies upon our arrival! I recommend staying and will stay her again if I am back in the area.

Had a great time! Loved this location. Great for spending a day in Asheville or walking around Black Mountain. We did both. Lodgings were simple and perfect, and we will definitely bookmark this place to come again.

We loved our stay at the Babbling Brook Bungalow. It was very clean and comfortable. We will definitely stay there again on our next trip to Black Mountain.

Our hosts were always happy to say hello when we saw them around the property. The kitchenette had everything we needed and was well stocked with snacks. There were even dog treats and extra doggie bags when we arrived. Do note that the bungalow is above a garage and there is some occasional rumbling from the door, but it was not an issue for us.

Jean added lots of thoughtful touches that made this an especially great stay!

Met Jean and Doug when I was first arriving. They were so friendly and guided me to various restaurants and coffee shops to experience in town and Ashville. We had fresh baked cookies along with a well stocked frig of local beers and beverages to try. They even had a little treat bag for our Samoyed. The cottage is cozy and bed is really comfortable. The neighborhood has beautiful walking trails and a dog park/ fire pit if you wanted to hangout. Absolutely will be staying here again. Close to downtown Black Mountain and a short drive to Ashville. If you’re a big mountain biker some of the best trails are less than 20 min away.

We had a wonderful stay. The property was clean, well stocked, and our hosts were very welcoming. We really appreciated the small touches like the guide to local restaurants and activities and the homemade cookies.

Visited this property multiple times…highly recommend it. It is a gem in a great location.

Clean and cozy

Property nice and clean. Great location in a nice neighborhood. Hosts were accessible and helpful.

We loved our stay at this property. The owners do go above and beyond with amenities (snacks, drinks, toiletries, homemade cookies!!) which really makes a difference. Really clean and comfortable. Of note- owners do live right next door and the place is above their garage so not the most private if that is a priority.

This carriage apartment was wonderful for our two-night stay. Modern, clean & comfortable, it felt like a home away from home. Coffee and snack treats were a great touch. I would definitely stay again if I’m Black Mountain again.

We enjoyed our first stay so much we made sure to come back while visiting the area.

Clean, quite, stocked refrigerator and snacks were a nice surprise. Friendly hosts great cental location. Lovely noisy creek just outside! Perfect

Such a lovely property. Thank you fot your hospitality.

We loved our time at this property, and it was really nice to have just about everything we needed already stocked in the home (plenty of coffee/TP/Paper Towels/soap/etc). Our little pup enjoyed the walks on the path right across the street as well.

We plan on visiting the Black Mtn area a lot over the next few years. Finding Jean and Dougs place was a great surprise. The place is beautiful! Has everything you need and more. We’re looking forward to many more stays at Babbling Brooke. Cheers

We had a wonderful stay. We were in Black Mountain exploring the area as a potential place to retire. The bungalow was just as advertised and our hosts were wonderful. Very clean and everything we needed for a home away from home. Thank you for a great weekend.

Everything was amazing! Great location and owners are very responsive.

We really loved Jean and Doug’s place! It was in such a great location to downtown black mountain, and a 15-20 min drive into Asheville. The apartment was stocked with everything we needed, it was comfortable and clean. The neighborhood was beautiful, and very safe. We walked the little babbling brook which was just a very small trail but perfect for an evening stroll. Host was very easy to communicate with and had some great little touches waiting when we arrived. We loved our stay!

We so enjoyed our second stay at the Babbling Brook Bungalow. The bungalow is very clean, nicely decorated, well stocked, and located in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood, just outside downtown Black Mountain and not far from Asheville. The hosts have thought of everything to ensure their guests have a wonderful stay. We look forward to our next return to our favorite VRBO.

Everything was wonderful.

This little bungalow was perfect for our needs. It is beautiful, comfortable and well stocked with just about anything you might want or need. There are lots of trails to walk and fun things to do close by. Jean and Doug are excellent hosts!

The apartment was over a garage and had a babbling brook right outside our window. We opened our window a crack and you could her the water rushing by. It was convenient to downtown Black mtn. Definitely would stay again!!! Owner was great to work with!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this property! If you are looking for an immaculate place to stay that is right in the middle of the mountains in a beautiful neighborhood, with walking trails and wonderful hosts then this is the place for you. The hosts did such a wonderful job with lots of little extras. It is not a question of if I will be back but when! The place is so clean and you can see the mountains out of every window. I loved all of the great restaurants in Black Mountain and Asheville is just down the road! I cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you for a fabulous stay!

What a fantastic stay we had at the bungalow! Check in was very easy, and the host was able to offer us early check-in. The studio is incredibly clean, and has everything you will need. We were greeted with fresh baked cookies, and a binder filled with information about the area. The kitchen is well stocked with water, coffee, tea and a loaded snack basket. We particularly enjoyed the microwave popcorn! Located about one mile from downtown Black Mountain we were only a short drive away from local shopping and restaurants. We recommend Ole's Guacamoles for some great Mexican fare. The hosts were very lovely and communicative during our stay. This place is at the top of my favorites list, and it's definitely a repeater!

This is the second time my husband and I have stayed at this property. We will choose this property again. Jean and Doug provided the perfect clean and quiet rental with many amenities and things to do close by. We enjoyed the homemade cookies and our dog loved the special dog biscuits too. Thanks for everything!

This property is located in a quiet development with a babbling brook right outside our window. The bungalow is the space above the owners garage that is detached from the house. It was very clean and beautifully decorated. It had everything you would need, even fresh baked cookies. It was quiet and relaxing! The drive to the downtown area of Black Mountain is just a minute down the road, literally. Much better than staying in a hotel! We will definitely be back! Jean and Doug were great to communicate with (which wasn’t that much since they made staying at their property so easy). Thank you for a great Veteran’s Day weekend!
