Walkable Downtown Black Mtn Cutie w hot tub + SAUNA -15min to Asheville

Welcome to Blue Fox Cottage, our newly renovated, fox-themed, cozy 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 and enjoy this fully remodeled 3 bedroom, 1 bath home with an awesome dog-friendly backyard patio area that includes a brand new hot tub, barrel sauna, and fire pit area.

Explore our super cute, historic mountain town, or you're only 15-20 minutes to Asheville, Biltmore Estate, and the Blue Ridge Parkway.

This newly 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 from experience we think 6 close friends can totally make it work comfortably.

The home is furnished with memory foam Queen sized beds in 2 of the 3 bedrooms, and the third bedroom has a twin XL over Queen bunk bed, both also with memory foam mattresses.

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 our 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 games (with a few more in the coat closet) in case you want to have a family game night and order in.

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 corn-hole 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 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, blow dryer, towels, soap, cotton balls, coffee, sugar, tea, 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.)

Guest access
There is more than enough room for up to four cars in the driveway at once. The neighborhood is super walkable and is one of the closest residential streets to downtown Black Mountain. It still totally maintains a quiet residential feel and the neighbors are all super friendly.

Other things to note:
In an effort to maintain a secure premises, the cottage is equipped with an exterior security camera. The cameras are ONLY on the exterior, and there are no cameras on the inside.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. The vacation home has a memory foam bed. There's a private balcony or patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. A flat-screen television with Netflix is provided, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected.
Don't miss out on recreational opportunities including a spa tub and a sauna.
Guests will find features like internet access, onsite parking, and a car charging station.

Anniversary Trip
We had a chilly, rainy week so it really helped to have the hot tub and sauna. So relaxing. The fenced in yard was really nice for our dog. The interior is very nicely decorated. Short walk to downtown for some great restaurants and brewery with others in driving distance. Easy, flat driveway to park in with room for more than one car. Hosts were very responsive.

Granddaughter's 3rd Birthday
My wife and I enjoyed a fine stay at the Blue Fox Cottage. The home was just as it was represented on the site, and was clean and tidy. The host was efficient with check-in and the house rules were clear and reasonable. Although we didn't use the sauna it is new and immaculate inside. The hot tub was a pleasant experience. We were able to walk to restaurants and shopping. We would certainly stay there again!

Newborn Escape
We have a 4 week old and needed a change of scenery from our home. We booked this cottage as a get away and loved it. We brought two dogs who loved the back yard and was very convenient with a newborn and being able to walk to downtown. Very clean. Host quick to respond. My wife actually got sick while there and we were able to visit the local urgent care which was 2 minutes away. Will definitely be visiting again.

Great cottage in the perfect location!
Our family was visiting the Asheville area but wanted a laid back location where we could walk to restaurants and shops. The cottage was perfect! It’s a 3-10 minute walk from the adorable downtown area full of shops and restaurants. The neighborhood was very safe, quiet, and friendly (a lot of people walking, running, and sitting outside waving as we passed). There are some houses on the street that seem to be under going repairs, and at first glance might seem questionable, but we stayed for 5 days and had zero issues with any neighbors or noise, and felt safe leaving our teen and pre-teen at the cottage while we went to the local grocery store (Ingles, a few minutes drive). The cottage itself is very cute and updated. It had everything we needed to cook meals. It has a lot of board games to enjoy. The beds are very comfortable, and we all enjoyed the hot tub in the cute backyard. We were a little concerned initially with only having one bathroom for four of us, but it was never an issue! Overall, we greatly enjoyed the cottage and would definitely stay again!

Beautiful design/decor and great location
After a difficult entry based on an incorrect code, the stay here was good. The look and decor are gorgeous, but a few items make this one a four star for us versus five. Two of three beds are not super comfy and seemed a little noisy if you’re not a completely still sleeper. Also, shower doesn’t have great pressure and is marked wrong. Hot is cold and cold is hot. FYI. Otherwise, location is great and there were lots of amenities in the home.

Perfect mountain getaway!
This cottage couldn’t have been more perfect for our family’s weekend getaway! Every single detail was intentional and enhanced our stay in Black Mountain - the memory foam mattresses and artwork to the array of teas and coffee and even locally made oil diffusers - all wonderful! The proximity to downtown Black Mountain is indeed just a short walk and what an adorable variety of shops and restaurants! There’s no doubt that we’ll be back!
