Immaculately clean! Quiet and convenient location!
Shane and Rebecca recently renovated this cottage and did a fantastic job. I’ve never stayed anywhere so pristinely clean and it was very comfortable! Proximity to downtown Black Mountain and other amenities was perfect. I would stay again in a heartbeat!

Great Family Getaway
Mackenzie Manor was just the right place for my family during our stay in Black Mountain. Mackenzie Manor was fully equipped with everything we needed. The location was great and the house was very comfortable and relaxing. I would highly recommend Mackenzie Manor to anyone wanting to visit the beautiful mountains of North Carolina.

Amazing mountain getaway!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Shane + Rebecca's Black Mountain Home! The location is close enough to all main sites, with the feel of being tucked away in the mountains. The home is stunning and sparkling clean, with small details throughout that really just add to the charm and convenience! Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend away - we would absolutlely love to stay here again!

Friends Retreat
My college roommate and I (from many years past) had a wonderful stay in your charming, spotless, and oh-so-comfortable cottage. This is my second stay here and I’m already planning another visit for the fall. So close to so much…hiking, Black Mountain, great restaurants and shops and a fantastic yoga studio too! Thanks for another great stay!

Great Black Mountain Cottage
The place was EXACTLY as advertised and was perfect for our long weekend in Black Mountain. Just five minutes or less to downtown and 20 or so to Asheville, the location is perfect. And the house has been so tastefully renovated. It was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and well equipped. We would definitely stay again if available the next time we’re looking for a long weekend away!
