Downtown Historic Area, Arts and Crafts Cottage PREMIER HOST SINCE 2013

We are honored to have over 200 VRBO published "5 Star" Reviews since we began operating in 2013, and, proud to have been a Premier Host since 2013.

We are exceptionally proud to provide a quaint, clean, and comfortable cottage that we would want to stay in ourselves!! Spend some quality time in our sweet little town, Black Mountain, North Carolina - The 'Little Town That Rocks". From our quiet historic neighborhood, it is only a quick, three to five minute walk to our "main" street, State Street, in downtown Black Mountain. Come and explore the cute shops, nice restaurants, and fun bars....notice the rocking chairs along the way, in our cozy town that is called "The Front Porch of Western North Carolina."

Hattie's is located behind our home, though you have absolute and complete privacy and sole use of the entire beautiful backyard. Most times, you will not even know if we are home. The driveway and path to the cottage is gravel. For those with mobility issues, this may not be the place for you because of the gravel drive/pathway.

This cottage has one bedroom and bathroom with full size tub/shower separate from the main living area of combination living room and kitchen. A full kitchen -- fully equipped with complete sets of dishes, glasses, utensils, and appliances including dishwasher, full range/oven, full size refrigerator, and microwave. You will find most everything you need for cooking; pots/pans, cooking utensils, serving dishes, storage containers, baking sheets...this kitchen is very well supplied for cooking meals. Gas "wood stove" fireplace that is perfect for that cool fall or winter evening, hardwood flooring with rugs, lovely covered porch off the bedroom overlooking "secret garden" backyard oasis with chairs and table and bamboo blinds for even more privacy if desired.

Enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktail from the covered deck overlooking our backyard with a pond feature and small waterfall....if you decide to sit by the pond, become completely relaxed as you watch the gold fish swim around the beautiful water plants. The sound of many species of birds and the gentle breeze blowing through the trees will calm you and one can't believe we are so close to town. Listen to the wind chimes and watch hummingbirds buzzing around, birds bathing in the upper pond, and squirrels, rabbits, and chipmunks running around the grounds. In the evening, you may hear our owl and frog that are living in our backyard this year. We know you will enjoy our "little bit of heaven" at Hattie's Hideaway. We have had two couples become engaged while they were staying at Hattie's Hideaway; the proposal was presented in the sweet and wonderful backyard while the couple was enjoying time together there....we are honored they chose Hattie's for that special moment in their lives!

On a cool evening, enjoy another amenity in the backyard; sit by a fire in the outside fireplace (no smoke wafting in your face like a fire pit!) provided with wood and even set up for your evening each day! You can roast marshmallows/hot dogs with provided skewers in the cottage. A lovely outdoor patio for your use with a table and umbrella, chairs, rocking chairs under cover from rain, gas grill, and a hammock. Have your lunch or dinner in the lovely backyard on the patio.

All quality linens provided. ** We replace our higher end linens every two years** Keurig coffee maker (new 2021); your first morning's K-cups and a nice selection of tea bags are provided along with milk/sugar. Free WiFi, 39 inch flat screen television, full-sized kitchen appliances (refrigerator with ice maker) and washer/dryer (with all needed laundry supplies) in the cottage basement. Any and all starter supplies provided (trash bags, dishwashing liquid as well as dishwasher detergent, plastic wrap/aluminum foil/storage bags, picnic basket and supplies like paper plates/disposable cups/plastic flatware, basic spices/oils for cooking/grilling, paper towels, toilet paper, facial tissues, bath soap, basic small sized toiletries for one day in case you forgot to pack something, bug repellent spray, sunscreen....all this and we provide many other amenities for your use such as hiking sticks, backpack with first aid kit, beach towels, bathrobes, umbrellas, blanket for picnics, camp chairs, travel coffee mugs and water bottles for you to take to concerts, hikes or a day trip to Biltmore Estate, Blue Ridge Parkway, or NC Arboretum.

Please note that Hattie's Hideaway is located behind our home in Black Mountain and we are full-time residents.

In January 2020, we completed some updates to refresh the cottage including interior painting, then completed exterior painting (2021) and this year, 2022, we have replaced living room furniture with two new chairs with ottoman and a new sofa, as well as a new Serta mattress for the queen bed as well as new linens (we replace all sheets/towels every two years) new pots and pans, etc. We try to always be mindful of our guests' comfort and keep a close eye on the quality and condition of the furniture and supplies in the cottage. We want to always be certain that we ourselves would love to stay at Hattie's Hideaway and be comfortable spending time there!!

I clean Hattie's Hideaway myself and I follow all recommended safety guidelines in cleaning the cottage using Lysol and Clorox products and wiping down all "touch" spaces along with thorough comprehensive cleaning; in addition, I shampoo the rug and clean the upholstered furniture every month, or more often, if there has been a spill. We do not allow animals so as to maintain an allergy free zone as best we can, additionally, we ask our guests not to use strong fragrances or cooking spices inside the cottage.

We hope that you will love Hattie's Hideaway and our truly special backyard, as much as we do! We thank you for your consideration and thank you in advance for your business -- Pam and Worth
