About this property
THE RED COTTAGE -Great location! Pet friendly. Long-term stays are welcomed!
We love hosting our travelers, and you will find that our neighborhood is family-oriented and pet friendly.
The Red Cottage is equally located between downtown Black Mountain and the gates of Montreat. A 1-mile sidewalk stroll to the heart of downtown Black Mountain. The drive to Asheville is easy to access on/off I-40 and only 15 miles away!
Our charming town of Black Mountain is very pet-friendly. We will gladly send you our pet policy for your review when your initial inquiry has been received.
We offer an iMac desktop computer with secure high-speed internet along with excellent cellphone coverage. A must-have if you travel for business or work remotely!
The main bedroom and spare room are wall-mounted 40" Samsung Smart TVs; the living room has a 50" Sony Smart TV. For your indoor leisure we have premium cable channels, Roku, and a game cabinet with books for children and adults.
Suppose you are looking to reserve The Red Cottage for a bachelor/bachelorette party, family reunion, graduation celebration and the like. In that case, out of respect for our neighbors and the security of the property, we ask that you please choose another vacation rental property.
The large kitchen has stainless steel appliances and is fully equipped for all your cooking/dining needs, including essential countertop appliances and a drop-leaf dining table with a service setting for 8.
Sleeps 6 comfortably. Two bedrooms with queen-size beds; the spare room has a daybed & pull-out trundle, all with premium posturepedic mattresses. The couch also folds out into a full-size bed. All beds come with comforters, blankets, and hotel-quality sheets.
Two full bathrooms with toiletries and premium linens. If anyone in your group requires assistive devices or a highchair, please inform us so that we can better serve you.
Washer/dryer, laundry supplies and clothes hangers. Though we don't think that it's ever been used, we also have an iron & ironing board :-)
Central heat and air, updated plumbing, thermal pane windows, and a new eco-friendly insulated attic and basement vapor barrier with a dehumidifier.
For outdoor relaxation, a large fenced front & open back yard, Weber gas grill and picnic table seat 8.
Enjoy your favorite beverage and pass the time on our front porch; 4 adult rockers, a child-sized rocker, a 5' glider bench, a ceiling fan and a drop leaf table. For many of our guests, this is their favorite feature!
Guests will have total access to the house, and we encourage all to help themselves to anything available. Make yourselves at home!
We hope that you will join us in Black Mountain! We'd love to serve as your hosts!

About the host
Hosted by Monica-Hisano Galloway
Before moving to Black Mountain we spent many vacations and long weekends sightseeing, rock climbing, hiking, and camping (a nudge for all you climbers, hikers, and bikers). We loved the area so much that we decided to move to Black Mountain when our daughter started kindergarten.
Twenty-eight years later our daughter has completed graduate school at UNC-Chapel Hill and we are still in awe with the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the seasonal climate, entertainment, special events, and countless sightseeing attractions.

Why they chose this property
After months of searching for the perfect vacation rental property in Black Mountain we came across this beautiful 1920 red cedar siding cottage (hence, The Red Cottage). Its large front porch is set back from an old weeping-willow and a spectacular hickory nut shade tree. It was love at first sight!
Since 2014 we have owned/operated The Red Cottage and we personally serve as your hosts. Our goal is to exceed your needs and expectations!

What makes this property unique
The Red Cottage is located equally between the towns of Black Mountain and Montreat. Less than 1 mile in either direction you will find many attractions that are normally featured in larger cities.
Downtown Black Mountain has outstanding gift shops, restaurants, taverns, a Farmers Market, sweets, coffee shops, and much, much more. Within a short distance, you will find the Black Mountain Golf Course and mini golf for kids of all ages. Lake Tomahawk has an outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts, croquet court, free concerts, and a facility that can be rented for private events. Seasonal festivals & attractions, such as The Lake Eden Arts Festival (LEAF), Sourwood Festival, and Spartan Obstacle Races are very popular!
Montreat College is an independent, Christian based 4-year liberal arts school and their Conference Center hosts religious conferences throughout the year. Montreat also has great hiking/biking trails, creeks, and preserved woodland areas for your outdoor fun.
There are churches of various denominations that are just a short walk from The Red Cottage.
Visit during the fall and take your car, motorcycle, or bicycle along the Blue Ridge Parkway. The spectacular views, waterfalls, and brilliant colors of the falls leaves are sights that you wouldn't want to miss out on!
If you choose to venture out for the big city, historical Asheville is just 15 miles west on I-40! Asheville also offers many attractions -The Arboretum, Biltmore House, Thomas Wolfe Center, Civic Center, River Arts District, museum, playhouses, shopping malls... The 'Drum Circle' and 'Friday-After-5' are annual family events in downtown Asheville during the late spring and summer months. Specialty shops and breweries are plentiful.
For outdoor adventures, we have countless hiking and biking trails, rock climbing, and skiing. Nearby ziplines, paddling, camping, fishing, WNC Nature Center... The list goes on & on! We will have lots of information and brochures available to you!
