Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
My Husband, Russell, and I have been in Black Mountain for 16 years. We are Licensed General Contractors and are the builder of Snowy Cove Cottage and Panther Cat Perch (VRBO #274156). We love this area of Black Mountain where these homes are located South on curvy Hwy 9. We are big into motorcycles and bicycles. If you are unsure of where these mountain roads can take you, let us know and we can provide some beautiful routes with some of our favorite dining locations.
Why the Owner Chose Black Mountain
We came to this area to be with our family, to ride bicycles, and go to the local University...UNCA. Since then, our family has left, I graduated from college, and we are riding motorcycles in some of the most beautiful country called the Blue Ridge Mountains!

A wonderful stay

Review Submitted: 11/10/11
Excellent accommodations. New cabin with rustic feel exceptionally clean and well maintained. Designer kitchen and bath. My sister and brother-in-law from Colorado stayed with us and loved it too. Tucked away in the mountains but only a few minute drive to Black Mountain (very quaint town) and about 20 minutes from Asheville.

The Perfect Place to Stay!

This was a clean and wonderfully decorated cabin. The location was perfect for hiking at Montreat College in Black Mountain and also close to Chimney Rock and Lake Allure. We loved being away from everyone yet, close to everything we needed for hiking and dining! The hot tub away from any neighbors was a plus! VERY CLEAN.

We went to Snowy Cove Cottage for Labor Day Weekend with my son, his wife, and baby. It was just perfect for us and all the room we needed. Everything was clean and in good condition, and the cabin was tastefully decorated. It was accurately described as "cozy," and I thought it was an excellent value for the money. We loved the central location where we could go to Asheville, Hendersonville, and Lake Lure with the cottage as home base. It would be an excellent choice for a romantic getaway.

This secluded cottage is down a gravel road and is hidden from other homes in the area by dense foliage. It is clean, efficient, and shows beautiful craftsmanship. the beds are comfortable, the owner helpful and pleasant and the cottage is a wonderful spot to get away or to explore the many sights and sounds of the Black Mountain/Asheville area.A great and unexpected bonus is a discount card for the nearby and excellent grocery store! We are planning regular trips to the area and will look no further in search of restful and comfortable lodging.

So much better than a hotel!

I traveled from Washington State for my daughter's graduation from Warren Wilson College. I had another daughter travel from Oregon and one from California. Everyone enjoyed this so much more than a hotel experience. The kitchen was nicely stocked with the tools necessary for meal prep. This cabin was the perfect location for my family to gather to celebrate and share some time and meals together. The cabin looks just as good in person as it does in the photos. It is a little ways out, but since there isn't any traffic it was easy to get to town or the school. The front porch and the hot tub were a treat as well. Kim was extremely helpful.

Snug, well-maintained cozy cottage

We spent 4 nights at Christmas time at this adorable cottage, and had a great time. The minimalist furnishings are a welcome change from many rental cottages, most of which have too much clutter. The red oak floors are beautiful, and the kitchen is very roomy and was a delight to cook in. We were very impressed that the owner had set up a Christmas tree in the living room, complete with lights and balls and tinsel! Very thoughtful. While we were there, we definitely had a white Christmas -- plenty of snow! The owner plowed the steep and narrow road leading to the cottage promptly, and we were able to leave without incident. Would definitely recommend a 4-wheel vehicle (we had one) during the winter for the treacherous roads, but, after all, it IS a mountain! The town of Black Mountain is charming and filled with unique specialty shops, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Both of our sons live in Asheville, and we will be returning to Black Mountain in the future when visiting them.

We loved the modern amenities at the cabin- the decor was beautiful! Close enough to town (took us 6 minutes to get to Black Mountain downtown) yet tucked away nicely in the woods to feel like you are away from it all. Although there was a lot of road noise from Hwy 9 that runs just above the cabin, and there are about 3 houses that are fairly close by (the hot tub needs some more privacy screen) we thought that the location was about as good as you can get! We would definately come back and recommend again to friends!
