The Cottage
Perched above the clouds in an old-growth forest and surrounded by protected conservancy land, this mountain retreat invites you to breathe deeply and reconnect with nature. Whether you’re seeking a romantic escape, a quiet personal retreat, or a gathering place for friends, enjoy your stay high above the beautiful town of Black Mountain.
Your cozy one-bedroom cottage has everything you need for comfort and calm, with a private porch overlooking one of the best views in the region. Step out onto your private porch, suspended among the trees, and sink into the hammock swing as you take in sweeping, long-range mountain views sitting 4,000 feet above the sea. From this high-elevation perch, you’ll feel completely immersed in the forest canopy— Featuring a great diversity of birds (91 species recorded), we have the Audubon society’s distinction of Important Bird Area--“one of the most significant examples of high elevation forest and natural communities in the southern Appalachians.”
The cottage is part of the Black Mountain Stomping Grounds, a private sanctuary bordering conservation land. Though it feels like worlds away, you are only 15 minutes from downtown Black Mountain, where you can experience fine dining, galleries, concerts, and immerse yourself in an outdoor sports haven—a rare balance of wild solitude and mountain-town charm.
