Welcome to our mountain basement suite! Black Mountain is an amazing place, and we are located right in the midst of the beauty. Our home is 1 mile from downtown Black Mountain, and a very short walk to Lake Tomahawk, as well as Black Mountain Golf Course. We are a 20 minute drive from Downtown Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway entrance. There is an abundance of nature surrounding us, with tall trees, mountains, birds and occasional wildlife! We love this town, and hope to share it with you! The space: The suite is located in the basement of our home with its own parking and private entrance in the back of our house. There is an outdoor space with a firepit in the side yard for you to enjoy as well. The suite is a large studio with has its own kitchenette (including a sink, mini fridge/freezer, microwave, stove top, coffee maker, kettle, blender, and toaster). There is also a garment rack, and a full private bathroom with large shower. 40” TV, Wifi and a Roku including Netflix for you to enjoy. We are dog friendly!!! We allow up to 2 dogs at a time (at an additional cost). We also request that for liability reasons, dogs are not left indoors for more than 2 hours at a time and that they are not allowed on the furniture. We trust that if you are bringing your pet, that they are behaved and you can monitor them around our furniture, bedding, etc. We do charge a $30 pet fee for the first dog, which you'll pay for at the time of booking :) If you have two dogs, then we will send you a request for an additional $15. NO cats, sorry! Other things to note: We do live in the upstairs portion of the home. If we are here, you are likely to hear us walking around or talking as it is an old house! However, we are very courteous of our guests and will remain as quiet as possible during your stay. We have never had complaints about this, but want to be transparent. This is a basement and is a house in the mountains and in a heavily wooded area, therefore, depending on the season, there may be small insects/bugs that come for a visit! We do what we can to minimize this but must disclose. The fireplace is not in use, we do have a fire pit outside you are welcome to. Because we get a lot of rain in this area, we try to keep humidity levels in the basement down. We have a dehumidifier in there and if you like you’re welcome to empty out the reservoir to keep it running (it only fills in certain times of year). We have also added an air purifier to help with the air quality. We take pride in our home, our VRBO, and in being hosts. We run this with a passion, and we want our space to reflect this. If you have any issues whatsoever, please let us know immediately. We have done our best to describe the property, and we do a thorough clean after every guest. If we have missed anything, please let us know. We want to provide you a 5 star worthy experience all the time!
