The space
DOG FRIENDLY!
Welcome to Blue Creek Cottage! Nestled on a private 1-acre lot in the heart of Black Mountain, NC, this charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath getaway offers the perfect blend of nature, comfort, and convenience. Located just 4 minutes from the historic downtown square and 13 minutes to Asheville, this cottage is your serene escape.

🌿 Outdoor Oasis:
Surrounded by lush trees, tasteful landscaping, a flowing creek plus a natural spring, the cottage is enveloped by soothing water sounds on three sides. Drive up the freshly graveled driveway and admire the cozy cottage tucked beneath a summer canopy of trees. A massive outdoor stone fireplace stands ready for evening gatherings—perfect for roasting marshmallows or staying warm. The fully fenced, well-lit side yard is ideal for your pups.

*We DO NOT charge a pet fee. We do ask you bring a clean blanket or sheet to cover the couch/bedspread if they like to jump up there.

🌸 Relax and Explore:
Step through the double French doors in the living room to a spacious flagstone patio, where Adirondack chairs invite you to enjoy your morning coffee by the creek. Birdwatch, look for deer, or simply take in the peaceful surroundings. Seasonal blooms enhance the beauty: daffodils and wildflowers in spring, vibrant fall colors of reds and yellows in autumn, and mountain views through bare trees in winter.

🔥 Cozy Comforts Inside:
Unwind by the large electric fireplace in the living room or curl up on the comfy sectional sofa to watch a blockbuster on the 65" 4K smart TV with a sound system. Spin some vinyl records on the Victrola or enjoy retro video games for nostalgic fun.

☕ Fully Equipped Kitchen & Coffee Bar:
Start your day with a fresh latte at the coffee bar or prepare a full meal in the spacious, fully stocked kitchen. The spa-like bathroom boasts an oversized walk-in shower, providing a touch of luxury.

🛏️ Restful Bedrooms:
The primary bedroom boasts a king-size bed with a hotel-quality Zinus Green Tea memory foam mattress and premium luxury Egyptian cotton sheets. Plus, there's a 46" 4k Smart TV to stream whatever you're bingeing.
The second bedroom offers a full-size daybed with a hotel-quality Zinus Green Tea memory foam mattress and premium luxury Egyptian cotton sheets, trundle bed, and a fold-down desk—ideal for work, arts, or crafts.

🎲 Family-Friendly Fun:
A closet in the second bedroom is packed with board games, puzzles, and card games. High-speed WiFi makes streaming and remote work a breeze.

🐶 Dog Friendly:
We have always traveled with our dogs. We noticed how "unfriendly" some "dog friendly" places were. We've thought about your pups! There's easy access from inside the cottage to the lit fenced side yard for your convenience. We supply toys, water and food bowls, some waste bags, shampoo, dog towels and a hose in the side yard for rinsing. We just ask you bring a clean blanket or sheet to cover the couch/bedspread. Help us keep the cottage sparkling clean.

🌟 Convenient Essentials:
We provide a "starter package" of consumables: Dynamite Roasters coffee pods, tea bags, paper towels, tissues, dish soap, dishwasher pods, laundry pods, and trash bags. Everything to get you started with a stress-free stay.

🚶 Explore Black Mountain & Beyond:
You’re just 4 minutes from Black Mountain’s historic downtown, filled with shops and dining. Enjoy a scenic walk around Lake Tomahawk, play pickleball at Creekside Racquet Club, or explore Cheshire Village. Asheville is just a 13-15 minute drive for even more adventure.
