Great accommodations!
Excellent place! The owner was extremely accommodating when I had a question upon arrival. The location is perfect. Very close to downtown Black Mountain and easily accessible to Asheville. It was just right for my family to enjoy a quick trip to the mountains.

This property is well stocked with comfortable furniture. The location is perfect. 1-2 miles from where we wanted to go, yet still has the feeling of being isolated.

Perfect for two couples with lots of 2 living spaces to sit and relax indoors and outside with the covered deck. The sun room was our favorite place to sit and visit with one another.

Great house in an adorable little town
We spent a lovely weekend at the Black Bear Retreat. The house was just as described, and had everything we needed. Black Mountain is such a quaint little town, and it was super close to Asheville. We really enjoyed ourselves and are so glad that we stayed at the Black Bear Retreat!

Very Comfortable Property.
We had a great time visiting Black Mountain. This home was very pretty, close to town, yet had a delightful woodsy, private feel. The owners were attentive and friendly. We would definitely stay here again if we wind up in the area again. Diane

Everything was great. Black mountain is a really nice town. Had a little trouble adjusting the heat but got it figured out. Of course it was freezing the first couple of days. Would definitely recommend staying here if you’re in the area

Cozy, charming, and very clean.
The 4 of us enjoyed our stay at Black Bear Retreat. It felt like a home. We had everything we needed. The sunroom was our favorite gathering place. The entire home was immaculately clean. The location was very convenient to any place we wanted to go. We would there again.

Our second time...and we'll be back again!
The house was lovely, and beautifully equipped and furnished. The private master bedroom suite was perfect for us, and the mattress was the most comfortable I've ever been on. There's a big kitchen, a beautiful sunlit sitting room, and a setting that is easily accessible, but feels very private. This was our second visit, and we'll be back!

Wonderful Mountain House
We loved this house! The double primary suite layout was perfect for us - 2 couple’s traveling together. The sun room was our favorite spot and we really enjoyed the television and the surround sound system. We we’re visiting friends in Black Mountain so the location was perfect. We also drove to Asheville for dinner one night - very easy drive - about 20 minutes. Overall, we thought it was a wonderful place. We hope to return soon!

We love this house!
This is the fifth year in a row we have spent a week in this house during the holidays. As usual it was impeccably clean and welcoming, and we were provided with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The house is very well designed, whether you want to entertain others, or just stay cozy by yourselves. There is a high-quality entertainment center, new appliances, and comfortable furnishings.

Fall Break
Very easy process of renting the house. Our questions were answered promptly. It was in an excellent and convenient location. The house worked out great for the two families and it was very well stocked. The office was perfect to put the infant in to nap away from everyone. The garage was an added convenience. It was a “Great” place to stay.

Our fourth stay there, all have been great
We have stayed at this property in December for four years in a row. It is a beautiful well-furnished house that is very comfortable. Best of all is the layout...the downstairs is perfect for socializing, but the upstairs master bedroom and bathroom can be completely private if someone wants to be alone. The appliances and entertainment center are top-notch. There are lots of windows and a very nice sunroom. And Black Mountain is a charming town, with lots of good restaurants.

Lovely Get Away
This is a wonderfully spacious, modern home just as described. The home is clean, well appointed and on a wonderfully quiet cul de sac just minutes from downtown Black Mountain. It has a feeling of privacy and yet is not remote. The owners are very helpful and not only would we recommend this home to others but hope we can stay there again. Day trips to Asheville, Blowing Rock, Grandfather Mountain and many other interesting places are very practical. Yet, the atmosphere of the home for a quiet get away made us just stay in and read for a couple of days!

Great week in Black Mountain
This is the second summer my husband and I have rented Black Bear Retreat for a restful week in the charming town of Black Mountain. The house is very nice with everything you need for a great week of relaxation. It's easy to find and close to town so you are only minutes away from great food and shopping. Last year we actually saw a bear right on the street in front of the house. The owners are ready to help with anything you need. If you want a quiet, restful time, consider renting Black Bear Retreat for your next stay in Black Mountain.
