This was a great property. Clean and just as advertised. We had everything we needed. Once you went in the fence it was very private but close to town. It was a great stay and we would stay again.

Cute and Dog Friendly!
I was so appreciative of Bill and Laura's communication and willingness to work with us. Our pet sitter had backed out last minute and they were willing to let us bring our small pack of puppers! The fenced-in yard was a big hit for the dogs and the simple, but elegant interior was perfect for my fiance and I for just stretching out at the end of the day. Highly recommend this property!

Quaint cottage with amazing little town!
This is our 3rd time staying at cranberry cottage and we enjoyed this stay just as much as the last 2! We were greeted with a snack, bottle of wine and fresh eggs. The electric fireplace is also a nice touch in the winter. We already booked another weekend! Go to my fathers pizza and ask for Lettie! Food is delicious and her service is amazing!

Cranberry Cottage
Had a very nice, comfortable weekend at Cranberry Cottage. The cottage was perfect for my wife and I, and our dog. The cottage is small but with the fenced yard and the open double doors we felt like the whole property was just a large indoor/outdoor living area. Very comfortable. We hadn't traveled with our dog before but she felt very happy wandering around the place, and we felt confident enough to leave her there while we went into town for a meal. The location is nice. Access was easy and communication with the owners was prompt. We enjoyed our stay very much. Thanks

Cozy Black Mountain Getaway
We stayed at Cranberry Cottage three nights with our two small dogs. A main reason we chose this rental was the wrap around fencing for our dogs and we’re glad we did. While it is on a somewhat busy street, the neighborhood is quiet and with the fence, it feels like your own little oasis. The owner, Bill, was great to work with and had everything all set for us upon our arrival. The gift of a bottle of wine was a nice touch too. While we did not try to walk to town with our two small dogs, it’s such a short, easy ride into town that it worked beautifully for our needs. It’s such a fun town to visit and an easy drive to Asheville.

Love Black Mtn!
There were a couple of issues which have been resolved. One was during our stay(didn’t know how to work the tv/Roku). Messaged then spoke with Bill and was able to understand how to work things. I would suggest having a written step by step instruction there at the house for others in case it’s needed. There was a another issue which was addressed and corrected after we left. Bill was always available to help us. We enjoyed our stay and the wine was a very nice touch. Black Mtn is definitely our happy place.

Disappointed
The property was said to be walkable into Black Mountain. It was not. The yard was unkempt and unattractive. The accommodations were only adequate and not attractive. The kitchen was lacking enough drinkware. However, the owner has been responsive to me after the fact and has taken my critique in stride.

Cute & convenient
Cute cottage close to downtown. You can walk to town, although some of the way there is no sidewalk. Several choices for food and entertainment, some had live music. The cottage is located very close to Graybeard trail and Outlook trail and not too far from other things to do. The yard is completely fenced. That was nice since we stayed with dogs. There is a front porch area and fire pit. The cottage is right on the street corner so there is some level of traffic noise, and the fenced yard helps reduce the traffic noise. The place is a little quirky. It was clean and comfortable. Everything worked as expected. Kitchen had enough plates and silverware. We enjoyed our stay.

Very clean but...
The entire property was enclosed with a tall, solid fence so we felt closed in with no view. The bed is more of a cot that sank somewhat...making getting in and out somewhat of a challenge. TV was through Roku rather than cable as advertised. Those being the worst, it was a pleasant time for us...it was very clean, the owner was very responsive to our inquiries and it was quiet. Everything worked for us.

Be careful to fully read the property description
We looked forward to our month at Cranberry Cottage. Check-in went fine. The description of the cottage stated "freshly remodeled". Reading the description further it said the work was done in 2015, 9 years ago. The description and reviews emphasized how clean it was. This is why we chose this unit over others. We opened the front door and were immediately overwhelmed by a dank, musty smell. The single a/c unit in the hallway froze us. The rest of the cottage was uncomfortably hot. A dehumidifier in the kitchen ran continuously and heated it in the process. The kitchen was not clean. We tried to put groceries away but found dead cockroaches on shelves and we removed a lot of dirt when we wiped them off. Food had to stay packed in our boxes. We tried to fall asleep and couldn't. At 4am we packed the car and left. The host was responsive to us, but true communication was lacking. His suggestions, including us paying for commercial cleaners, were unacceptable. We continued our vacation (we stayed at the cottage for 8hrs but we had paid for 28 days) staying at motels. We returned occasionally to see if the odor was gone. There was less, but still too much for us. The description of the cottage is misleading and the host, while responsive, did virtually nothing towards a solution. A very expensive mistake that we will not repeat.

Noisy and uncomfortable
The property was on a busy, noisy street bombarded with passing car headlights. Environmental controls did little for cohesive comfort. Some rooms uncomfortably cool and others too warm at the same time. The property had no pedestrian access, the only way to walk anywhere would be to share the road with cars at a high rate of speed. There was excessive noise by neighbor's with idling loud motorcycles and noisy ceiling fans and a dehumidifier that made it hard to hear the television which didn't work for the first 24 hours or to hear another person speaking. For the cost, I would never recommend it.

Fabulous Visit, Owner's Go Above and Beyond
My husband and I and two of our Rat Terriers, ( Hidi and Jase) stayed at Cranberry Cottage recently on a trip to visit our daughter and to scope out retirement properties in the Asheville area. The Alexander's greeted us at the cottage on our arrival. They had stocked a nice bottle of wine, as well as coffee, etc for us humans. They had fresh dog beds, water bowls and a new toy for each dog, as well as a bag of tasty treats for them. To say that the cottage and the Alexander's are pet friendly, just does not quite cover it, they are very welcoming which is very appreciated. The lovely, landscaped yard is securely fenced and safe in wood privacy fencing. Jase and Hidi are not "diggers" so we felt perfectly safe in letting them to to play in the yard. They had a great time exploring. The cottage is very nicely furnished and appointed. The bed is comfy, the linens are luxurious. They had just installed a washer and dryer which we did not use, but it is a very nice touch to the property. Cranberry Cottage was the perfect base for our visit and our purpose for this trip. We have traveled to many places and used VRBO a number of times to book properties and I must say that I have never been as welcomed and as personally taken care of as I was by The Alexander's. Thank you. We will be back.

Just what we needed.
It was just what we needed for the weekend. The owners were responsive and accomodated our request. It was clean and the size and location worked great for us. The property was quirky but included evrything we needed. More lighting between the gate and the front door would be really awesome.
