The Bell Moon Cottage | Half a Block from Downtown

Welcome to the Bell Moon Cottage, a charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home tucked just half a block from the heart of downtown Black Mountain. With restaurants, coffee shops, galleries, local music, seasonal events, and independent shops just a short stroll away, this is an ideal home base for enjoying one of Western North Carolina’s most beloved mountain towns.

Inside, the cottage offers a comfortable blend of historic character and thoughtful updates. Originally built in 1915, the home has the warmth and personality of an older mountain cottage, with inviting spaces for families, friends, couples, and remote workers alike. Spread out in the living room, gather around the dining table, enjoy a quiet moment in one of the private seating nooks, or settle into the desk nook off the kitchen for work, reading, or a view of the secluded backyard.

The home includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a welcoming front porch, a back deck, a grill, a fire pit, and multiple places to relax indoors and out. The primary bedroom also includes its own cozy seating area and TV, making it easy for everyone in your group to find a little space of their own.

One of the Bell Moon Cottage’s best features is its unbeatable location. Downtown Black Mountain is an easy walk from the front door, and beautiful Lake Tomahawk is less than a ten-minute walk away for mountain views, picnics, gentle strolls, and slower mornings. Asheville, the Blue Ridge Parkway, hiking trails, breweries, music venues, and countless Western North Carolina adventures are also within easy reach.

Whether you’re here for a family getaway, a romantic mountain weekend, a working retreat, or a longer stay exploring Black Mountain, Montreat, and Asheville, the Bell Moon Cottage offers a warm, convenient, and memorable place to land.
