The ultimate in vacations. Since my family is scattered from California to Pennsylvania to Florida, this was a perfect geographical choice. My main concern was that my grandchildren, age nine and eleven would be "bored!" They were most impressed from the hot tub to the Pacman game and so much more. There is so much to do in the area, Biltmore Estate which we rode bicycles along the farm trails and enjoyed very much. We went to the Piscah National Forest and tried rock climbing as well as white water rafting within driving distance for a unique days outing. The shops in Black Moutain were very charming as well as the southern charm of merchants. I could have spent a whole day perusing the book collection at Jean & Carl Franklin's Cherry Street bookstore. We found a quaint little vegetable stand on the way to Ashville and explored the creek and truly huge rocks behind the vegie stand. Some of our best photos came from there. The kids had to be threatened with bodily injury to tear themselves away (not really). It was refreshing to observe children enjoying God's landscape and interacting with humans instead of an electronic gadget. We gathered to celebrate my youngest child's licensure to practice psychology in the state of California. What we came away with was a renewal of spirit and the knowledge of this fact. If more families vacationed in this heaven on earth, my daughter might not be so busy in her practice. Blessings to you for sharing such a lovely piece of this earth with me and mine.Ranging in age from 58 to 9 y/o. Pamela and Family

My family relocated to Charlotte, North Carolina 3 years ago to the day that we stayed at High Rock. In the 3 years we've been in NC, we have not made a trip to the mountains. We finally decided it was time. We looked at a lot of places online, but High Rock really jumped out at us. We decided that it had everything that we wanted and we were really excited to see it. Well, all I can say is when we pulled up - wow! It was a spectacular place. We have two small children and they absolutely loved it, too. Everything was immaculate and it had all the amenities. The best part of the place (besides the Galaga/Ms.Pacman machine - I'm old school and loved that!) we thought is the hot tub that overlooks the mountains. It was an incredible view, and even better taking it in from the hot tub. High Rock is also a great launching point to go to Chimney Rock and Asheville. Needless to say, we loved it and plan on visiting again in the future. We're hoping to share the great experience with family and friends. Thanks for a great place Mike and Beverly. Regards, The Hewitt Family

My family and I had an amazing week at Highrock Haven, what an amazing property. The mountain views are incredible. The entire property is immaculate both inside and out. The cabin is very luxurious with plenty of room. Seven of us stayed at the property and there was plenty of space to spare. The ping pong/pool table and Ms Pacman/Galaga arcade games in the basement were a huge hit with the kids. The yard is surprisingly flat for being at the high elevation. We brought our two dogs with us and they had the time of their lives. There is an excellent set of hiking trails which run throughout all of the owner's properties, They take you down to the pond and run parallel with a nice little stream. The kids had a blast exploring. I can honestly say there was nothing lacking during our stay. We were welcomed with a nice bottle of wine, plenty of firewood and even satellite TV including Directv NFL Sunday Ticket. Great location, Black Mountain is a very cool little town with some great restaurants. Asheville is about a 20 minute drive and there are tons of things to do there. Other convenient attractions that we visted were Chimney Rock, Mt. Pisgah, Biltmore and Grove Park Inn. Chimney Rock has the most amazing views and although it's a tiring climb to the top it's worth it when you get there. We had family with us from West Virginia and Maryland and everyone was amazed at the beautiful scenery of the NC mountains. I would highly recommend Highrock Haven to anyone interested in a fantastic home in an incredible place.

We needed a place to stay for a wedding we were attending at the Black Mountain Sanctuary. We were so lucky to come across Highrock Haven on the internet. We had never been to this area and found the home incredibly beautiful and luxurious. Turned out that the wedding location was only 6 miles away! We only wish we had more time than three nights, but we really enjoyed the comfort and quality of the home, the swing, the hot tub and the bear we encountered coming home from the wedding. There were 4 of us at 28, 53, 59 and 62 years of age plus two German Shepherds. We had a day to take a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway and spent some time at an orchard near Spruce Pine. We had great photo opportunities as there was some early fall color change, and Mike and Beverly could not have provided anything more. Every detail was addressed from towels, soap, firewood to a great bottle of wine. We loved the solitude and majesty of the mountains and highly recommend this home to anyone who needs to get away and relax or just have some great quality family time. Larry, Carol, Mark VanDyke and Sharon Kotovsky.

I travel 100% of the time for work, and was looking for a beautiful and relaxing place to host our first family vacation in over 10 years. I was quite excited when I came across Highrock Haven while browsing the internet. The cabin is incredible - it is better than portrayed in the photos and the view is fantastic! The place was extremely clean and well-maintained. The beds and the living room were cozy and comfortable. My mother enjoyed it so much that we could hardly get her out! The hot tub facing the beautiful mountains was a favorite with the entire family. Also, making s'mores at night at the campfire site was a treat. You thought of everything - the ping pong/pool table, arcade, and tons of games made the rainy day quite fun. The location is great as well - cutest ice cream, jewelry, and pottery shops on the way to the cabin, close enough to the highway to get to nearby Asheville, various fishing spots, and hiking - yet still far enough away that you can enjoy the peace and quiet. My entire family loved every minute at Highrock Haven and we look forward to returning!

We had such a wonderful time at the Highrock Haven in Black Mountain, the cabin looked better than in the pictures that were on the internet. We had everything we could ask for, and Mike and Beverly were very helpful with anything we needed. It was a really relaxing time and we enjoyed going to the downtown of Black Mountain, and the beautiful city of Asheville that was less than half an hour away. We especially enjoyed the peace and beauty that surrounded the cabin. We will definetely go back to enjoy this amazing place again! P.S. We loved the pacman machine and pool/pingpong table, it was great!

Review Submitted: 08/25/11
For years my wife and I have invited our grown children and their families to a rental home in either the N Carolina coast or mountains. This year was no exception as 12 members of the family gathered from as far away as Florida and Pennsylvania. This was our first visit to this 'mountain cabin' and herein testify it will not be our last! The home and its location is so breath-takingly-beautiful that the next visit will be enjoyed solely by the two of us. The rental transaction was made easy and professionally months in advance. This itself is refreshing in a business world that has become enmeshed in complexities, regulations and the lack of common sense. When the kids left in the mornings to enjoy the amenities in close by Asheville or Black Mountain, the surroundings come even more into focus. A variety of songbirds becomes the background music that enhances the reading of a good book. Nature walks are the 'breaks' one takes after having read half a book in one sitting. The marvel of the universe comes into focus late at night. Those of us who are older saw the most falling stars and satellites than we had seen since our youth. Our (sole) dissappointment was that we did not encounter the provervial black bear. Oh we know they were out there as our neighbor had to police up his less-than-secure garbage which was strewn all over their property. Everything was excellent, enjoyable and well facilitated by the owner. We recommend this home and its location to anyone. Pascual & Sharon Goicoechea

Our children decided it was time for our first family vacation. They could not have picked a better place for us all to enjoy, from grandparents (my husband and myself), children, grandchildren and two four legged pets who had as much fun as the family. The highlight of the trip was the surprise wedding of our youngest son and his fiancee. We came from Florida, Wisconsin and Connecticut. The home and setting were absolutely gorgeous allowing something for young and old to enjoy from the game room, hot tub, swing and rocking chairs for the older folks, to the activities in the surrounding area. We had a fantastic vacation with many thanks to the Roseman family for allowing us to enjoy their beautiful home. Hopefully in the future we can once again enjoy!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Highrock Haven and especially enjoyed the nice cool mornings and evenings which are unheard of in June back home in Florida. The accomodations were great and Mike was very helpful with all our needs. Something else that cannot be overstated was the view from the deck, truly breathtaking. We definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet getaway but with all the comforts of home.
