You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

THE RED COTTAGE -Great location! Pet friendly. Long-term stays are welcomed!

We love hosting our travelers, and you will find that our neighborhood is family-oriented and pet friendly.

The Red Cottage is equally located between downtown Black Mountain and the gates of Montreat. A 1-mile sidewalk stroll to the heart of downtown Black Mountain. The drive to Asheville is easy to access on/off I-40 and only 15 miles away!

Our charming town of Black Mountain is very pet-friendly. We will gladly send you our pet policy for your review when your initial inquiry has been received.

We offer an iMac desktop computer with secure high-speed internet along with excellent cellphone coverage. A must-have if you travel for business or work remotely!
The main bedroom and spare room are wall-mounted 40" Samsung Smart TVs; the living room has a 50" Sony Smart TV. For your indoor leisure we have premium cable channels, Roku, and a game cabinet with books for children and adults.

Suppose you are looking to reserve The Red Cottage for a bachelor/bachelorette party, family reunion, graduation celebration and the like. In that case, out of respect for our neighbors and the security of the property, we ask that you please choose another vacation rental property.

The large kitchen has stainless steel appliances and is fully equipped for all your cooking/dining needs, including essential countertop appliances and a drop-leaf dining table with a service setting for 8.

Sleeps 6 comfortably. Two bedrooms with queen-size beds; the spare room has a daybed & pull-out trundle, all with premium posturepedic mattresses. The couch also folds out into a full-size bed. All beds come with comforters, blankets, and hotel-quality sheets.

Two full bathrooms with toiletries and premium linens. If anyone in your group requires assistive devices or a highchair, please inform us so that we can better serve you.

Washer/dryer, laundry supplies and clothes hangers. Though we don't think that it's ever been used, we also have an iron & ironing board :-)

Central heat and air, updated plumbing, thermal pane windows, and a new​ eco-friendly insulated attic and basement vapor barrier with a dehumidifier.

For outdoor relaxation, a large fenced front & open back yard, Weber gas grill and picnic table seat 8.

Enjoy your favorite beverage and pass the time on our front porch; 4 adult rockers, a child-sized rocker, a 5' glider bench, a ceiling fan and a drop leaf table. For many of our guests, this is their favorite feature!

Guests will have total access to the house, and we encourage all to help themselves to anything available. Make yourselves at home!

We hope that you will join us in Black Mountain! We'd love to serve as your hosts!
Monica & John, Owners/Hosts

Lovely stay in our favorite place
We are frequent guests to Black Mountain and the Red Cottage is a great find! John and Monica have been doing this for 15 years and it shows - I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more well-appointed and labeled stay. Everything was clean and comfy and we loved our stay.

Fun getaway
We enjoyed our stay in Black Mountain so much. The Red Cottage is perfectly located for a walk into town, a walk to the pool or lake or a quick drive to Asheville and beautiful local hikes. The property was very clean, the front porch was delightful, beds were comfy and the kitchen was very well equipped. Would highly recommend this wonderful property.

Great Location
This cottage had everything you could need. The kitchen was very well stocked, the beds were very comfortable, the porch was wonderful. We would recommend this spot and stay again if passing through. Lake Tomahawk and Montreat are both less than 2 miles (in different directions) and great places to walk.

Special Stay at The Red Cottage!
This is the most comfortable and well stocked vacation home we've stayed in! It's cozy and much thought went into details that made us feel special. The home is one level which was handy and the covered front porch was a great place to relax. We esp liked that the yard was fenced since we took our dog. We're looking forward to going back! A big thank you to Monica and John!

Cutest cottage in black mountain
Loved our stay here! Monica and John thought of all the right touches and we would easily stay here again. The cozy charm of this place made staying in on rainy days easy. Loved we were within walking distance of downtown black mountain and hiking trails. Would eagerly stay here again!
