    Overall, the house was nice. It could use some upgrades, however. The upstairs bathroom toilet would get stuck when flushed. We took a few cold showers because the hot water would run out. The doors to the outside were difficult to open and lock. The house needs maintenance.

    There’s a lot to say about this house and experience. ISSUE #1 especially if you’re traveling with small children or elderly, there are NO TV’s IN THE BEDROOMS except the primary. Also, there is no live tv. You have to have a YouTube tv acct or spectrum acct. If we had known there weren’t tvs in the bedrooms we would not have booked this house. The tv in the main living space could only be controlled if you stood 2 feet in front of it.ISSUE #2 - Spider infestation in the bottom level living room/game room. Cobwebs everywhere and hundreds of spiders behind the miniature tv on the wall. My kids refused to play or stay down there after the first night.ISSUE #3 - The kitchen, while spacious, had an old stove top that had no labeling on the controls. It made cooking very challenging and dangerous since we had no idea what temp we had the flame at.ISSUE #4 - Even though it says a 9 mile drive to town, it will take you about 30 min to get there. Just to get to a supermarket or gas station. And dealing with Yonder Property Management was less than stellar. Lynette was condescending and rude when we asked her questions. Her only response was, “well, we haven’t had complaints before.”Overall, for this kind of money, one would expect a more updated house and a cleaner one at that. Sofas are old and chunks of leather missing from them too.Only positive is the view from the deck. But with all the bees swarming the deck, we couldn’t really enjoy that either.

    Property location was nice and the neighborhood is very quiet! Lots of fruits trees on Property. Cleanliness was an issue for us. But may not bothher others. Looks like maybe we were the first to stay in quite a while. We would not stay here again.

    Black Mountain Hilltop was the perfect Fall Break mountain getaway! Our family, 4 adults and 3 children, had the most perfect fall vacation! The cabin is even better than the pictures. Perfectly decorated to fit the setting, a great layout allowing for privacy with each bedroom having its own bathroom, and offering lots of room to spread out. The kitchen was great for cooking at home. Things provided that are not typically found in rentals. We appreciated the extra toilet paper, laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid, all natural soaps, lots of extra blankets and pillows. The kids and adults enjoyed the basement game room, lots of competitive ping pong games! It was nice having the two car garage to park both cars. We thoroughly enjoyed the outside heater for stargazing at night and the hot tub was a big hit with the kids! We also enjoyed sitting around the fire pit at night and the extra firewood that was provided. The best part is the amazing Mountain Views and the gorgeous sunrises! We never wanted to miss a sunrise. Breathtaking. The location of the cabin was perfect, the gated community located high enough up the mountain to offer those fantastic views. It was a bit of a winding drive getting there, but what can one expect- you’re driving up a mountain and those views totally made it worth it! We drove into Asheville a few times during our stay and it was about 25 mins. We enjoyed the town of Black Mtn, about ten mins or so down the mountain. We will definitely be back!

    Looking for a beautiful, great place for 4 couples (golf trip), this is it. Accommodated 4 bedroom/bath, and wonderful open areas (inside and out) for group activities and just hanging out. As expected, many scenic but windy roads to/from activities.

    Really enjoyed our stay and despite some rain were able to enjoy some hiking and exploring Black Mountain. It was a great to come back to the mountain top Estate to enjoy some relaxing family time and the great views at the end of the day. The home is a wonderful family friendly home. Enjoyed the gourmet kitchen and playing games in the great room . Definitely will return

    Beautiful property set in the mountains. It’s not close to anything really - about 25 min to eating and activities, but this is fine because the seclusion is wonderful. Some great waterfall hikes nearby and the views are sublime. The accommodations are very considerate of anything you might need (the kitchen rocks). My only regret is I wish we would have stayed in the house more and did fewer excision. It’s great!
