Rustic
The property was nicely decorated. Main areas were clean. Cobwebs around the windows and the exterior needs a washing. Understand this is a rustic cabin. Trash from previous guests filled the bear proof container and attracted lots flies. I did report it to management. The property had nice dishes and supplied essentials. The location was nice.

Fantastic short stay
My daughter & I spent 3 nights enjoying hiking & tubing in the area between her summer job and fall college semester. This is the most well equipped short term rental kitchen I have ever rented! I don't think there was anything anyone could have needed that couldn't be found in this kitchen. The cabin is actually made up from 2 separate old buildings joined together with a small addition containing a hallway & large bathroom. The kitchen & living room area are in a really neat old log cabin and the 2 bedroom and 2nd bath are in the other part of the building. The front porch is off the bedrooms with a nice golf course view and the back porch is large with lots of seating option and plenty of privacy. The beds were very comfortable and the linens were nice. Loved it all!

There was a bear, as we were told
Not clean, dog hair in both sides of the kitchen sink, refrigerator was not clean, i wiped out the shelves and door but was not cleaning the drawers. Large hunk of dog hair at the front door, dog treat beside the microwave. House is under major construction within feet of the house. They mowed the golf course daily across the street starting at 5:30ish am every day. Yes, the big bear walks up daily to the house, which we knew about. We finally packed up and left Thursday morning, we drove to another place to finish our week out. The look from the street to the front of the house, I would never have stayed there. The house itself is ADORABLE & the porches are great. The 3rd step from the bottom on the side which is the main entrance is about to break. Light was out over/near the main shower. We were not left anything to start washing the towels with. So, we just left them on the floor by the washer. There was no hand soap by the sink at the 2nd bathroom, third day I found a bottle under the sink. Most houses we rent from in Blk Mtn provide foil/plastic wrap/baggies/coffee etc so this time we did not bring any, it just adds to a place especially if you are cooking and eating there. Just not for us...we love Black Mountain, was our first disappointment in almost 20 years... thanks, Keith & Susan Davis

A wonderful rustic retreat
The cabin was well appointed and has a rustic charm we found very comforting and relaxing. There are touches of country influences in all the rooms with an eclectic style with the furniture. The beds are very comfortable and soft. The two porches offer a great place to start or wrap up your day as they offer different views and have plenty of seating.

Great communication with property management company. Nice cabin overall, great sleeping beds, everything we needed. Only thing we were disappointed in was that the description stated mountain view but their is not one. Otherwise, all was good.

Brief getaway
We really enjoyed our stay at Cottonwood. Black Mountain is a favorite getaway for us and this time we just wanted a couple of days for a change of scenery. This was perfect with quick and easy access to town and hiking and the cabin itself was charming and comfortable. Highly recommend!

Great Cabin Stay
A charming cabin with comfortable beds, well stocked and an easy access to the downtown. Loved the large back porch to sit & relax and we stayed dry in the heaviest of downpours listening to the rain. Walking paths and lake in close proximity & we had a fabulous time for our anniversary.

Cute little house - very old and very nice
Setting was great. Back porch surrounded by trees so you couldn’t see neighbors and no one could see in. Very clean and well stocked. Duvet in the closets were handy as it got cold. Beds were comfy. Take someone tall. Kitchen cabinets were too high for me to reach. Pics in Vrbo showed spacious living room. Very small in actuality.

Great house and location
This cabin was so precious and so very well appointed. Although we only cooked breakfast the kitchen was very well stocked and has very nice cookware and plenty of baking sheet. The beds were very comfy with very nice sheets. LOVED the nice thick fluffy towels and plenty of them. The check in was super easy and the special treat of Four Sisters Cookies and the great coffee was a treat. Great house great location. And a absolute precious mountain town.

Very Rustic
The pictures are deceiving, it is way more rustic. Spiders and rough sawn boards for the kitchen floor. It was musty and when you tried to open windows to air it out, there were more spiders. The dumpster was full and on the list of chores they want you to complete, you have to carry it off yourself if it’s full. We have been going to the mountains in the fall for 30 years and this was the most disappointing place we have stayed at.
