From the moment the booking went through, to the end of our stay John, the host, made us feel welcomed and kept in touch during our stay. Lucy, the barkeep, welcomed us with a complimentary beer and lots of information on the town & local restaurants. She even went so far as to get us coffee after her shift when she learned we were out.
The apartment itself was very clean and well maintained. The beds were very comfortable. This is an excellent place for 2 couple to stay and is probably the most convenient lodging to downtown Black Mountain.
The scheduled trains can be loud as the pass, but the ear plugs provided did the trick. My only recommendation for the owners would be to advertise this place as a “Bed & Brew” and offer interested travelers a lesson on brewing and the ability to help brew beer if they desire. Keep the beer cold, we will be returning!
