We had such a wonderful stay at this Black Mountain property. The beds were so comfortable and there was an amazing backyard set up for evening fires. We loved having our dog with us also, with a very dog- friendly house that’s only minutes from everything.

Slow Pace Cottage was very peaceful. We enjoyed the front porch swing. The fenced backyard was enjoyed by our dog. The back patio was a pleasant surprise. The interior was pleasantly decorated and most welcoming. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and utensils. The Keurig coffee was a wonderful surprise. We would enjoy staying again.

Thank you for sharing your pet friendly cottage. Excellent space and comfortable beds to sleep in. Appreciate the dog beds and bowls and nice touches /extra blankets were nice. Excellent proximity to town and it was excellent for our needs. Water temperature in shower was a bit tricky to regulate but understandable due to the age of the property. Washer and dryer worked great!
