Good to know

This newly remodeled, one-story 1920's cottage has an open concept design to maximize the living space for up to 4 guests. With 2 bedrooms and 2 ensuite bathrooms, it's 800 sq ft is the perfect compact size for 1-2 couples or 1 couple with kids or up to 2 dogs. We are dog-friendly - yay! We do have a maximum of two well-behaved dogs per stay and there is a $150 pet fee if you want to bring any of your fur-babies. We do ask that dogs stay off the furniture and that you pick up after them in the yard. Our fenced in yard is great for pups to run around and enjoy the fresh mountain air. Don't worry, we provide poo bags, food bowls, towels for muddy paws, and even a dog blanket and treats. :) Lots of places in Black Mountain are dog-friendly so taking your pups around town can be super fun! Please do be aware that bears roam around frequently in our area so leaving your dog unattended in the backyard is a beary bad idea... sorry, I had to. The cottage is furnished with super comfy Queen sized beds. One bedroom has a memory foam mattress that is perfect for those who prefer a firm mattress, and the other bedroom has a hybrid mattress that is slightly softer so you have your choice. In the kitchen, you'll find all the silverware, pots, pans, bowls and plates you'll need to pretend like you’re going to cook yourself dinner from scratch! ;) (But really, there is no need because the restaurants in our town are top-notch). The butcher block countertops overhang the new gray cabinets with silver hardware which nicely pairs with the tile backsplash. There is also a fun vintage dining table with four chairs that is a fun nod to the fact that the home is quite vintage itself (103 years old to be exact!). The stackable washer and dryer can be found behind the middle sliding barn door by the dining table, and laundry detergent is also provided. The living room is furnished with a nice big flat-screen smart tv and super comfy leather couch where you'll be able to Netflix and chill with friends. There is a small marble coffee table, two brown leather chairs, and a built in gas-log fireplace that gives you all the cozy cottage/cabin vibes you could want. Also in the shelves under the tv and behind the couch you'll find a nice stack of playing cards and board games in case you want to have a game night and order takeout. The two bathrooms are similar in size, each with marble tile-look laminate flooring and spacious showers. We provide hairdryers, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, as well as one bath towel and wash cloth per guest. Don't forget to head out to the fenced in backyard because it is seriously a ~vibe~ in itself. The comfy patio furniture, propane fire table, oscillating fan and sparkly bistro lights are ideal for a relaxed evening at home. All you need is a bottle of Biltmore wine and then you could call it heaven. We also have a sparkling 4 person HOT TUB - woot woot! Enjoy the soothing jetted bubbles under the bistro lights for the ultimate relaxing mountain getaway. You can also play bocce ball, corn hole or ring swing, as they’re all provided. In terms of amenities, we've got you covered too! You'll have access to small, yet important, things like: An iron, ironing board, hot tub towels, cotton balls and swabs, coffee, sugar, tea, dog bowls, poo bags, and more. Our little mountain cottage is just so great that you'll probably want to stay forever. :) We've had guests ask. Just kidding. (But seriously)

Neighborhood

Super cute walkable neighborhood. Walking distance to Lake Tomahawk park (15 min) and only a 5 min drive (or 25 min walk) to historic downtown Black Mountain

Guest Access

There is more than enough room for up to 3 cars in the two different areas of our driveway. You can fit one car directly beside the house and then another two in the gravel driveway area past the fenced in yard. The neighborhood is super walkable and is close enough to walk to Lake Tomahawk Park in about 15 minutes or to Downtown Black Mountain in 25 minutes. Parking downtown is usually pretty easy and it is only a 5 minute drive to downtown from the cottage. The neighbors on our little gravel road are very friendly, and we do have Black Bears neighbors that visit regularly as well, so please be careful and always be aware when outdoors. Please do not interact with the bears.

Alayna's home is expertly planned for a great Airbnb experience. It's trendy and interesting decor, super clean, and well thought out. The TV has a "renter" log-in that signs out of your streaming services when you leave, there's a doggy nook with water bowls and treats, and towels just for the hot tub. Really appreciated the two different mattress types and the great water pressure. Back yard was great for our dog, doggy bags even provided. Black Mountain is a great area and while it's about a mile walk into town, there's a great small lake and park nearby. Saturday morning there was pickleball and a great running path. A YMCA and Ingles 5 minutes away and a very easy drive into Asheville.

We loved our weekend getaway to Black Mountain. Such a hidden little gem with fabulous restaurants and local shopping. The Red Fox Cottage was absolutely beautiful with vintage vibe. The location was peaceful and quiet. There was lots to do - board games, corn hole, ring toss and an amazing hot tub. We are already planning our next trip back to stay longer in this cottage.

The cottage was pristine and meticulously cared for and set up to make guests have the easiest possible stay with everything you need labeled clearly and in excellent condition. The hosts were proactive and helpful in making a major adjustment to our stay due to circumstances that I won’t get into, but suffice to say they vert kindly made an adjustment for us that required a financial hit on their end that most hosts would have refused or at minimum expressed displeasure over. This is a great choice for a couple or small family looking to be close to downtown activity in a safe space. The cottage is clearly a labor of love and cared for with pride.

We so enjoyed our stay at The Red Fox Cottage- we can’t wait to come back! Immaculate inside and out- so clean and well kept- so much so it is almost hard to believe we weren’t the first guests to stay at the cottage! Location is walking distance to Lake Tomahawk- and quick drive into Black Mountain. The hot tub (which was pristine) was great after our day of hiking/biking. Thank you for a terrific stay- we can’t wait to come again.
