It was our first time visiting Black Mountain after visiting other places in the area for years. The Azalea house was the perfect home base to explore the town, hike nearby trails and walk around Lake Tomahawk. The house was just as described and we enjoyed coffee and tea on the front porch in the morning and the den fireplace in the evenings. We hope to return soon!

Lovely dog friendly spot near the lake
Everything that we needed, plus toiletries, cold water bottles, blankets covering the sofas, 300 piece puzzles we could do quickly. Two tv rooms, huge shower. Fenced in backyard. Just perfect for our trip. Owners communicative and generous. Easy walk to town or golf course that is closed for repairs and open for all walkers. Loved it!

Front porch heaven
Even a rainy week couldn't spoil our time in this beautiful home. The front porch was so delightful and the perfect spot to enjoy a morning cup of coffee, a nap, quiet moments reading and listening to the rain. It was an ideal location for us while we attended the Worship & Music Conference at Montreat.
Sheryl was the perfect host! She was so kind and thoughtful to leave us a welcome basket with treats and a lovely note.
We look forward to returning again to this lovely home.

Great location, great host, great house!
What a wonderful stay! The host (the owner) was extremely gracious and helpful. The location couldn't have been better--within a short walk of Lake Tomahawk (perfect for dog walking) and also walkable to downtown Black Mountain. Lovely porch for sitting and comfortable, well appointed home. Hope to stay again. Highly recommended!

Perfect in Very Way
Everything was as advertised. Large fenced yard for our pups was so nice to have and it was small dog escape-proof. Location with view from the front porch of Lake Tomahawk and mountains was exceptional. Very welcoming and walkable community. Communications with Sheryl, our host, were very easy. The welcome basket with wine and snacks was an unexpected treat.

Slice of heaven
Sheryl’s home is very thoughtfully arranged from the updated bathroom(s) and kitchen to the fenced in yard that our pup absolutely loved! Location could not be any better a short drive (5 minutes) into town loaded with good restaurants and shops. Lots of great hiking trails in the area and a quick 20 min to Asheville. We are so grateful to have stayed in Sheryl’s home she is an excellent host, we hope to be back again in the future!

Wonderful outdoor spaces in the front and back of the home to hang out, dine, drink coffee, listen to the birds, etc. Fantastic fenced yard for our dogs. The hosts are the best! Very genereous and attentive. We will definitely be returning!

Outstanding house, location, and host!
We stayed in this lovely Black Mountain home for 3 months. The hosts could not have been nicer or more accommodating. The house was very well equipped and was very dog friendly. We welcomed a puppy to join our older dog, and the home was wonderful for the two dogs. We were able to work remotely, cook in the well-equipped kitchen, enjoy the fenced back yard with dogs and walk to Lake Tomahawk (across the street essentially) as well as to downtown Black Mountain. Sheryl was extremely nice and helpful. Overall, this was a most magnificent stay and we look forward to recommending this to others and to staying again in the future.

Like staying at a friend's house
We stayed here for one week and enjoyed every day. We both work from home and we were able to work there with a very steady internet connection. Our pups totally enjoyed sitting on the front porch with us and watching the squirrels, chipmunks, birds and even a small gaggle of ducks. The bed was comfortable and the house was clean. Everything was very well appointed and provided, lots of paper products, plenty of kitchenware and quality bath linens. The only thing we wanted for was more outlets in the downstairs room, but again, we needed them for working. The house is totally within walking distance to downtown BMT and you can see Lake Tomahawk from the front porch. We would absolutely stay here again!
