Black Mountain, North Carolina
Relax and unwind at this beautiful, secluded getaway. Black Mountain Log Cabin offers stunning views of the Blue Ridge Mountains from inside the home, out on the wrap-around deck, and while in the 6-seater hot tub. Located in Creston, a private gated community with an emphasis on natural preservation, enjoy the beauty of the area and clear skies at night. Enjoy your cruise through the community, on the paved roads, and bask in the beauty of the area before arriving at the delightful log cabin.
Walk down from the parking pad along steady and tree-lined gravel steps to the charming log bridge connecting to the house. The wraparound porch has great rocking chairs staged at various views around the home. Take in the best vista on the back corner of the home where the trees frame the Blue Ridge Mountains as you sip your morning coffee or an evening cocktail. Down below is a cozy deck with a hot tub and fire table, lit by tiki torches and fairy lights.
At night, observe the constellations from the hot tub, or a blanket in the yard, thanks to the dark sky community restrictions in place. Featuring cathedral ceilings, hardwood floors, and an intimate living space, this cabin invites you into a casual setting filled with luxury touches. The galley kitchen has the essentials you need to create a delicious dining experience - a gas range, drip coffee maker, and basic cookware. Curl up in either living space with a bowl of popcorn and watch the game or stream a movie on the Smart TVs, with a cable package that includes the NFL channel and the SEC Network (please note the basement TV is streaming only).
Located within the upscale and gated community of Creston just south of Black Mountain, Black Mountain Log Cabin is surrounded by 330+ acres of protected land within the community which connects to thousands of acres of Pisgah National Forest and Foothills Land Conservancy property. Sit on the deck and listen to the sounds of the waterfalls down below, or hike down to the falls using the trail system within the community. There are also beautiful gathering spaces throughout the community to enjoy the stunning scenery and tranquil setting. Spend a weekend evening at the Straightaway Cafe, a classic pub-style eatery on the lone straightaway of the notoriously curvy NC-9. With a rotating menu, Straightaway keeps things fresh and local in both the food, beer, and entertainment.
In the morning, have brunch at either Blue Ridge Biscuit Company in Black Mountain, 25 minutes away, or Biscuit Head in Asheville, 40 minutes from the home. Both establishments specialize in giant cat head biscuits piled high with delightful toppings. While in town, take an afternoon to browse the numerous galleries lining downtown Asheville and the River Arts District and perhaps discover your new favorite artist. Schedule a dinner at the eclectic and delectable Vivian to sample the seasonal European-inspired eatery, and follow up with wine by the glass or bottle at Bottle Riot.

Beautiful property with a very secluded location! We had an absolute amazing time and would come back again.
magnificent property and area.
The house was great! Clean and well organized, and the directions to get there were excellent. We didn't have any issues with cell coverage. Yes, the basement bathroom had low water pressure but it wasn't an issue.
Fantastic location, views and privacy. Inside is spacious and well furnished. Only area that could genuinely use some attention is the noticeably low water pressure and temperature in the sinks and showers. Otherwise, great spot!
Cute cabin, secluded with great views. Hot tub is great and I’m sure fire pit would have been nice though there were no propane tanks left for us (all empty). Dishes could have been cleaner. Mattresses are terrible - this is my biggest complaint. There is barely any water pressure anywhere besides downstairs shower and no hot water anywhere else either - this took a cold shower upstairs to figure out. Not sure if this can be helped or not but knowing ahead of time would have been appreciated. Overall, besides the terrible sleep on those mattresses, it was a cute place to stay though because of that experience I’m not sure it’s worth the money.
The property was absolutely wonderful.
The drive to the property is paved (gated) and the house is beautiful. It was so nice having a welcome bag with a note and a few things for us. The house is very clean. There were a few issues...1. There are no lights down the steep steps so we used our phones at night (which is very challenging with groceries) 2. The communication from the rental property was good about the guy coming to fix the hot tub. However, Wednesday a hot tub maintenance person came (every Wednesday) and luckily I knew this on because I read all the paperwork before we left, which is not on VRBO, and no heads up on what time they were coming. Then we had a random person come and spray for bugs that we had no clue was coming and I hope that the spray was pet friendly because we brought our dog. I just wish we could have prepared Cooper, our dog has anxiety so it was hard to get him to calm down after he left. 3. The information that the rental company sends on what is at the house and in the kitchen is not accurate, no casserole dishes, which I specifically brought food for to make certain dishes that we could not make, and was stated that was there and was not (1 measuring cup was a cup and the other I had no clue) so I would advise to bring your own cookware. 4. We could not figure the smart TVs out but I believe it was because the connection between the cables and internet were not sync and we tried everything, someone needs to check them out (you can't even cast on none of the TVs on the main floor just downstairs). TV down stairs is way easier to work. But for the upstairs to get regular channels you have to change your inputs ( I think HDMI 1) which is not hard. The previous people logged in on Netflix so we logged them out and made sure we were logged out before we left. Also, I wish we knew how strick the community rules were before we got this place like the quite hours and that they would rather you not use the hot tub after certain hours because they don't want you to be noisy, stuff like that. Which we weren't. There were others but that one stood out. I get not being noisy but to say I can't use the private hot tub on the property that is at the house after certain hours like they do for hotels....just sayin. So, I called about it and they say they rather you not after 9pm but if you do, to be as quiet as possible. I get not be obnoxiously loud, or partys etc. It was just off-putting. But other than that the house is nice and it's a beautiful location.
Was wonderful
We absolutely loved this cabin! It was my husband and 1 year old. Beautiful views and the fire pit and hot tub were so relaxing at night. Loved rocking on the back porch in the mornings. Fireplace was super easy to use as well by a switch on the wall, no work to have to actually make a fire yourself. Of note (not worth a bad review) the water pressure is low and water temp didn’t get too hot, which is understandable since it’s from a well. The refrigerator water tastes weird so we drank out of the sink. And the cabin is a solid 25-28 minutes from town on very curvy and steep roads/hills. But the drive was still beautiful and enjoyable. I get carsick so I had to drive every time. Would 100% recommend and stay again!
I love Black Mountain cabin. The rental company was great about dealing with any issues. The view from the deck is so relaxing and beautiful. The property was clean. It is just overall and amazing and romantic place to stay and I would probably return again.
Great location and great property!
House was great once we got there. Got lost twice on the way. May want to let people know about the roads. Water pressure was very low throughout and kitchen was super small. Otherwise we loved it!
