Brief getaway
We really enjoyed our stay at Cottonwood. Black Mountain is a favorite getaway for us and this time we just wanted a couple of days for a change of scenery. This was perfect with quick and easy access to town and hiking and the cabin itself was charming and comfortable. Highly recommend!

Great Cabin Stay
A charming cabin with comfortable beds, well stocked and an easy access to the downtown. Loved the large back porch to sit & relax and we stayed dry in the heaviest of downpours listening to the rain. Walking paths and lake in close proximity & we had a fabulous time for our anniversary.

Cute little house - very old and very nice
Setting was great. Back porch surrounded by trees so you couldn’t see neighbors and no one could see in. Very clean and well stocked. Duvet in the closets were handy as it got cold. Beds were comfy. Take someone tall. Kitchen cabinets were too high for me to reach. Pics in Vrbo showed spacious living room. Very small in actuality.

Great house and location
This cabin was so precious and so very well appointed. Although we only cooked breakfast the kitchen was very well stocked and has very nice cookware and plenty of baking sheet. The beds were very comfy with very nice sheets. LOVED the nice thick fluffy towels and plenty of them. The check in was super easy and the special treat of Four Sisters Cookies and the great coffee was a treat. Great house great location. And a absolute precious mountain town.

Old school peace
The location was perfect and nestled in to a lightly wooded area for a bit of privacy while still minutes from great shops and eateries. Very unique home layout. Wonderful back porch my son used to sit and sketch while I did yoga. Front porch with rockers and great view of the gold course.

House has everything you need and a very short hop into town. Walkable to the lake. Enjoyed some quiet time on the porch during the mornings and evening. A return location for sure.

Very Rustic
The pictures are deceiving, it is way more rustic. Spiders and rough sawn boards for the kitchen floor. It was musty and when you tried to open windows to air it out, there were more spiders. The dumpster was full and on the list of chores they want you to complete, you have to carry it off yourself if it’s full. We have been going to the mountains in the fall for 30 years and this was the most disappointing place we have stayed at.

Great get away spot
Great get-away spot located near downtown Black Mountain, and next to Black Mountain Golf Club. The rustic cabin like 2 bedroom, 2 bath has plenty of amenities. Gas fire place, outside Weber gas grill, kitchen is fully equipped for cooking whatever you need. My dad and I really enjoyed our 2 day stay there. A little challenging for those who have walking troubles (stairs to the back porch entrance a little steep, but otherwise no problems inside)

Ursa Minor - extremely well located
The house was so convenient to downtown and on the golf course in a beautiful setting. There was no ice maker so bring your own ice and we did have trouble with the door code but Rachel helped from Cottonwood.

Labor Day Vacay
Everything was as expected per the listing. It is a cute little cabin and we enjoyed staying there. The fireplace did not seem to be working and the nights got chilly enough that we could have used it. It was an easy check in/out process. The roads to the cabin are rather narrow and people in the neighborhood don’t seem to mind the bushes growing over the side of the roads. If you have a large vehicle, use caution.

Great little cabin but CONSTRUCTION next door
A charming little cabin with great old wood, well-appointed, good spaces. BUT the house immediately next door is having major construction done. We arrived to at least an hour of chainsaw use with more chainsawing and a woodchipper running for a good while the next day. If you're looking for peace and quiet, I wouldn't count on that here until sometime later this fall or winter, I'd guess. They still looked to have quite a bit of work still ahead of them in the first week of August. No one told us so I'm telling you. We would have booked elsewhere for sure.

Black Mountain Visit
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Great location near Black Mountain restaurants and shopping, yet very quiet and peaceful setting. Loved the back deck with a table for outdoor dining. The house was as described and the kitchen was well equipped for making breakfast and cooking. Everything worked, was new and clean. We'd stay here again.

Cozy cabin
My husband and I (and our dog) had a great birthday weekend at this cozy cabin in Black Mt. This was our first time here and we really loved the whole experience. The house was clean and comfortable...no complaints. Probably important to know that there is not a dishwasher, but that wasn't a problem for us.

Best of both worlds, nature adventures in a historic town
The main living room/kitchen area is a very nice space, the back and front porches are comfortable, the views incredible, the bedrooms and bathrooms up to the same standard. All that could be seen from the listing but the quality of life in the town was the real surprise with restaurants, museums, hiking.
