Fall Break Mountain GetAway!

Review Date: October 17, 2023

Vacation Date: October 1, 2023

"Our family, consisting of 4 adults and 3 children, had the most perfect Fall Break vacation at Black Mountain Hilltop Retreat! The cabin is ideally located in a mountain top gated community, tucked away in trees and offering gorgeous mountain views! We never wanted to miss a sunrise because each one was breathtaking! The interior layout was perfect and allowed for lots of privacy with each bedroom having its own bathroom. The kids and adults loved the basement game room, lots of competitive ping-pong games! Everything was super clean and the beds were incredibly comfortable The decor was perfect for the setting. The owners/hosts have thought of everything. Plenty of extra blankets, pillows, all the kitchen utensils and cookware you would need including lots of things not usually found in rentals. Even dog dishes! We loved having the outdoor heater to sit on the deck at night and stargaze. The hot tub was a huge hit with the kids. We did have issues with the hot tub heating up correctly but maintenance was quick to respond and the issues were fixed the following day. It was nice having the two car garage to pull the cars in. The yard was nice and we used the fire pit. We drove into Asheville a few times during our stay and it was about a 25 minute drive. It took about ten minutes (maybe mess) to get the town of Black Mountain and groceries, shops, restaurants. We had been to Asheville several times before but this was our first time exploring Black Mountain. So quaint. We loved everything about the cabin and the location! We are definitely planning to rent here again! I can’t recommend it enough!

"The views from the deck at sunrise with a black coffee and in the evening under the stars with an Irish whiskey were the highlight. Regarding the house, the house is spacious as we had 10 people, dogs and a baby and we never felt crowded. Bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and the kitchen was well stocked w dishes, pots/pans, colanders, etc. for doing some cooking. Aside from a minor toilet issue that was quickly fixed by management, the only other complaint was that the sheets were dried with scented fabric softener sheets which irritated some guests allergies. A quick wash resolved this issue. All guests agreed that we would recommend the house and that we would stay again.

"We stayed here for a long family weekend and it was the perfect amount of space for 8 of us. All of us slept comfortably and it was great having a bathroom in each bedroom. The beds were very comfortable. The view from the porch was beautiful and we enjoyed the hot tub very much. The hot tub was too small for our whole group to enjoy together - it's more suitable for up to 5 people at a time. I would recommend this home for any group wanting to enjoy a peaceful and comfortable place outside of town.

"Hilltop Retreat was a great visit for our two families and a dog. The beds were comfortable and there was lots of space for everyone to spread out. Having things like soap, toilet paper, dishwasher pods, coffee filters, and detergent on hand was so nice. Kids loved the ping pong table and we got good use of the bocce set. Hot tub was great once we figured out the controls and we enjoyed a fire pit in the afternoons and evenings. This house is a great rental and we were all impressed! Kitchen was easy to cook in and very well organized. Extra fridge in the garage was a nice bonus for drinks and being able to park in the garage was great. We did a day in Asheville and a hike to Catawba Falls. Ingles is 20 minutes from the house and has everything you need. Hilltop Retreat was a great place to stay and the property management company, Yonder, was very easy to work with. Thanks for sharing your fantastic home with us!

"A breathe of fresh air! The house and view were both so breathtaking that we had to force ourselves to go into town to enjoy some delicious meals! There was something about the expansive interior with high ceilings and wooden logs that almost created a magical feeling to it each time one entered-either from a trip downtown or just walking in from the porch. The views were spectacular and the air so refreshing. We sat in the hot tub late at night looking at the stars. Just what the “doctor” ordered for my husband who was about to undergo surgery. I am a stickler for cleanliness in places I visit and I could not say enough about how clean it was. The kitchen was so beautiful that I felt compelled to leave it as spotless as when we arrived.
