The Scottish Highlands-inspired Stone Circle Cottage will have you feeling like you've been transported to the Highlands. Nestled in a grove of rhododendrons and mountain laurel, this home has the feeling of seclusion while only being a few minutes from town. A large deck offers winter views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. If the weather is nice, dine alfresco as you take in the beauty and fresh mountain air.

As the sun dips behind the mountains, curl up in the cozy living room, and put your favorite movie on the Smart TV (streaming & YouTube). During the day, the many windows in the cathedral-ceilinged great room and the white walls make the space airy and bright. The kitchen is cozy and well-equipped with a Dutch oven, food processor, and all the basics you need to craft the meals you love!

Just minutes away from the charming downtown Black Mountain, it's easy to pop into one of our bakeries or coffee shops for a morning treat. Grab an orange roll and a chocolate croissant from Four Sisters Bakery - and pick up a loaf of rosemary and olive oil focaccia for dinner while you're there. Head back to the house with your spoils, or adventure into Montreat for a nice morning hike. Attempt Graybeard Mountain, a 5,550-ft summit with a 9-mile round-trip trail ending in stunning views of the Montreat valley to the south and Mount Mitchell to the north.

Spend your evening browsing the lovely shops in downtown Black Mountain, stopping into Black Mountain Brewing for a taste of our local flavor and a nice dry stout or IPA. In Asheville, take in our vibrant art scene and plan a day browsing the many galleries that line the downtown and the River Arts District, as well as our museums. Take a ride up the Blue Ridge Parkway on your way into town to visit the Folk Art Center. With daily craft demonstrations and exhibits with pieces from early Appalachian cultures to today, this is an experience you won't want to miss!
