We'd love to welcome you to Blue Fox Cottage, our cozy modern cottage in the heart of downtown Black Mountain, NC. Just a 5 minute walk to the town center with a wide array of shops, restaurants, and breweries/bars. Come enjoy this fully remodeled 3 bedroom, 1 bath home with an awesome dog-friendly, fenced backyard that includes a solo stove bonfire pit, huge hot tub & barrel sauna.

Good to know

This remodeled one-story cottage has an open concept design to maximize the living space for up to 6 guests. With 3 bedrooms and 1 bath, it's 1,000 sq ft is the perfect size for 2 couples with 2-3 kids, or it is a nice cozy fit for 3 couples. Just remember there is only one bathroom (draw straws for who showers first -- ha), but seriously from experience we think 6 close friends can totally make it work comfortably. We are now dog-friendly - yay! We do have a maximum of two well-behaved dogs per stay and there is a flat $150 pet fee if you want to bring 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, and even designated towels for muddy paws. :) 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 home is furnished with memory foam beds. One bedroom has a king sized bed, one has a queen, and the third bedroom has a twin XL over Queen bunk bed. In the swoon-worthy kitchen, you'll find all the silverware, pots, pans 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 town are top-notch and lots are in walking distance.) The show-stopping quartz countertops overhang the navy blue, soft-close cabinets with gold finishes for bar seating. There is also a small dining table with two chairs that was handmade by a talented North Carolina artisan using walnut that was sourced locally. The top of the line washer and dryer can be found behind the bi-fold doors by the dining table, and laundry detergent is also provided. The living room is furnished with a nice flat-screen tv and super comfy leather couch where you'll be able to Netflix and chill with friends. There is a small marble coffee table, a navy velvet loveseat and a tv console with a built in electric fireplace that gives you all the cozy cottage vibes you could want. Also in the console you'll find a nice stack of books and games (with a few more games and puzzles in the coat closet) in case you want to have a family game night and order takeout. Since there is only one bathroom, we made sure it would make you say "Wow" with the blue herringbone feature tile wall, concrete-look tile floors, and a mid-century modern style vanity with gold hardware. Oh and did we mention the fabulous rainfall shower head or the overhead fan heater that keeps it nice and toasty in there? Don't forget to head out to the fenced in backyard because it is seriously a ~vibe~ in itself. The brand new stone patio equipped with a wood burning Solo Stove bonfire pit, comfy Adirondack chairs, and sparkly bistro lights is ideal for a relaxed evening at home. All you need is a bag of marshmallows and a bottle of wine and then you could call it heaven. We provide cornhole boards and bags, as well as a bocce ball set if you're feeling gamey. We also just added a brand new 6 person HOT TUB and a Finnish-style Barrel SAUNA- woot woot! Enjoy the soothing jetted bubbles under the sparkly bistro lights or sweat it out in the dry sauna heat for the ultimate relaxing mountain getaway. In terms of amenities, we've got you covered too! You'll have access to small, yet important, things like: An iron, hair dryer, towels, shampoo, conditioner, soap, cotton balls, coffee, sugar, tea, honey, firewood, 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.)

We absolutely loved our stay at the Fox Cottage in Black Mountain! First off, the hostess, Alyana, was hands-down the most responsive and communicative host we've ever had—truly top-notch hospitality from start to finish. The cottage itself is charming and beautifully decorated with thoughtful touches throughout. It felt cozy yet refined, and we were delighted to discover it was named after foxes—especially meaningful since we help care for a family of baby foxes ourselves. Plus it goes without saying, that we were honored to stay at the Fox cottage:-) One of the highlights was the beautiful spa and sauna, which were perfect for relaxing after long days of hiking in the surrounding mountains. The location is also ideal—nestled in peaceful nature, yet just minutes from fantastic local restaurants. We had so many great options nearby that we never even needed to head into Asheville. It’s also incredibly dog-friendly, which was a bonus. All in all we highly recommend this little gem!

We chose Black Mountain to base out of for Asheville but we found the location of the home to be in the cutest town! We were able to walk everywhere with our 3 kids to grab coffee and lunch. Our stay was perfect! This has been our favorite air bnb so far! Great attention to detail, not to mention the home was very clean! The beds were very comfortable and the hot tub/Sauna combo were 👌🏽 Cute theme and decor. We love this place so much we’ll be sure to book again if and when we come back! Thank you so much!
