Walkable Downtown Black Mountain Cutie w hot tub -15min to Asheville

Welcome to Blue Fox Cottage, our newly renovated, fox-themed, cozy cottage in the heart of downtown Black Mountain, NC. Just a 5 minute walk to the town center with a wide array of shops, restaurants, and breweries/bars. Come and enjoy this fully remodeled 3 bedroom, 1 bath home with an awesome dog-friendly backyard patio area that includes a brand new hot tub and fire pit area.

Explore our super cute, historic mountain town, or you're only 15-20 minutes to Asheville, Biltmore Estate, and the Blue Ridge Parkway.

This newly remodeled one-story cottage has an open concept design to maximize the living space for up to 6 guests. With 3 bedrooms and 1 bath, it's 1,000 sq ft is the perfect size for 2 couples with 2-3 kids, or it is a nice cozy fit for 3 couples. Just remember there is only one bathroom (draw straws for who showers first -- ha), but from experience we think 6 close friends can totally make it work comfortably.

The home is furnished with memory foam Queen sized beds in 2 of the 3 bedrooms, and the third bedroom has a twin XL over Queen bunk bed, both also with memory foam mattresses.

In the swoon-worthy kitchen, you'll find all the silverware, pots, pans and plates you'll need to pretend like you’re going to cook yourself dinner from scratch! ;)(But really, there is no need because the restaurants in our town are top-notch and lots are in walking distance.) The show-stopping quartz countertops overhang the navy blue, soft-close cabinets with gold finishes for bar seating. There is also a small dining table with two chairs that was handmade by a talented North Carolina artisan using walnut that was sourced locally.

The top of the line washer and dryer can be found behind the bi-fold doors by the dining table, and laundry detergent is also provided.

The living room is furnished with a nice flat-screen tv and super comfy leather couch where you'll be able to Netflix and chill with friends. There is a small marble coffee table, a navy velvet loveseat and a tv console with a built in electric fireplace that gives you all the cozy cottage vibes you could want. Also in the console you'll find a nice stack of games (with a few more in the coat closet) in case you want to have a family game night and order in.

Since there is only one bathroom, we made sure it would make you say "Wow" with the blue herringbone feature tile wall, concrete-look tile floors, and a mid-century modern style vanity with gold hardware. Oh and did we mention the fabulous rainfall shower head or the overhead fan heater that keeps it nice and toasty in there?

Don't forget to head out to the fenced in backyard because it is seriously a ~vibe~ in itself. The brand new stone patio equipped with a wood burning Solo Stove, comfy Adirondack chairs, and sparkly bistro lights is ideal for a relaxed evening at home. All you need is a bag of marshmallows and a bottle of wine and then you could call it heaven. We also just added a brand new 6 person HOT TUB - woot woot! Enjoy the soothing jetted bubbles under the bistro lights for the ultimate relaxing mountain getaway.

In terms of amenities, we've got you covered too! You'll have access to small, yet important, things like: An iron, blow dryer, towels, soap, cotton balls, coffee, sugar, tea, firewood, and more.

Our little mountain cottage is just so great that you'll probably want to stay forever. :) We've had guests ask. Just kidding. (But seriously.)

Guest access
There is more than enough room for up to four cars in the driveway at once. The neighborhood is super walkable and is one of the closest residential streets to downtown Black Mountain. It still totally maintains a quiet residential feel and the neighbors are all super friendly.

Other things to note:
In an effort to maintain a secure premises, the cottage is equipped with an exterior security camera. The cameras are ONLY on the exterior, and there are no cameras on the inside.

Newborn Escape
We have a 4 week old and needed a change of scenery from our home. We booked this cottage as a get away and loved it. We brought two dogs who loved the back yard and was very convenient with a newborn and being able to walk to downtown. Very clean. Host quick to respond. My wife actually got sick while there and we were able to visit the local urgent care which was 2 minutes away. Will definitely be visiting again.

About the host

Hosted by Alayna Fox

Host profile image
We are Alayna & Casey Fox (and our two fluffy children are Tito(16) and Furgus (1) - they are both spunky little Pomeranians). We are from Thomasville, NC and love spending as much time in the mountains and on the coast as we can. We are small business owners, and one of our main streams of income is wedding and portrait photography, which takes us all over the SouthEast. Our hobbies include gardening, traveling, cooking together and spending as much time outside with our dogs as we can.

Why they chose this property

The location of our cottage is what really sold us. We were looking for something that was less than 15-20 minutes to downtown Asheville, and then when we discovered how ridiculously cute and convenient Black Mountain is, and we knew this had to be the place. Our cottage is in the perfect spot to walk to everything Black Mountain has to offer while still being super close to Asheville.

We renovated the entire home to make it the most beautiful, top-of-the-line mountain cottage we've ever stayed at. We knocked down a wall and totally gutted the kitchen and bathroom, so you're looking at all of my Pinterest design dreams that we were able to bring to life. Also the hot tub and fire pit make for such a fun time with friends or a romantic getaway.

What makes this property unique

Fabulous location, & totally updated home with brand new everything - appliances, HVAC, privacy fence, patio, fire pit, security camera and all furnishings. The location is absolutely perfect and the hot tub and fire pit make for such a fun experience.
