You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

THE RED COTTAGE -Great location! Pet friendly. Long-term stays are welcomed!

We love hosting our travelers, and you will find that our neighborhood is family-oriented and pet friendly.

The Red Cottage is equally located between downtown Black Mountain and the gates of Montreat. A 1-mile sidewalk stroll to the heart of downtown Black Mountain. The drive to Asheville is easy to access on/off I-40 and only 15 miles away!

Our charming town of Black Mountain is very pet-friendly. We will gladly send you our pet policy for your review when your initial inquiry has been received.

We offer an iMac desktop computer with secure high-speed internet along with excellent cellphone coverage. A must-have if you travel for business or work remotely!
The main bedroom and spare room are wall-mounted 40" Samsung Smart TVs; the living room has a 50" Sony Smart TV. For your indoor leisure we have premium cable channels, Roku, and a game cabinet with books for children and adults.

Suppose you are looking to reserve The Red Cottage for a bachelor/bachelorette party, family reunion, graduation celebration and the like. In that case, out of respect for our neighbors and the security of the property, we ask that you please choose another vacation rental property.

The large kitchen has stainless steel appliances and is fully equipped for all your cooking/dining needs, including essential countertop appliances and a drop-leaf dining table with a service setting for 8.

Sleeps 6 comfortably. Two bedrooms with queen-size beds; the spare room has a daybed & pull-out trundle, all with premium posturepedic mattresses. The couch also folds out into a full-size bed. All beds come with comforters, blankets, and hotel-quality sheets.

Two full bathrooms with toiletries and premium linens. If anyone in your group requires assistive devices or a highchair, please inform us so that we can better serve you.

Washer/dryer, laundry supplies and clothes hangers. Though we don't think that it's ever been used, we also have an iron & ironing board :-)

Central heat and air, updated plumbing, thermal pane windows, and a new​ eco-friendly insulated attic and basement vapor barrier with a dehumidifier.

For outdoor relaxation, a large fenced front & open back yard, Weber gas grill and picnic table seat 8.

Enjoy your favorite beverage and pass the time on our front porch; 4 adult rockers, a child-sized rocker, a 5' glider bench, a ceiling fan and a drop leaf table. For many of our guests, this is their favorite feature!

Guests will have total access to the house, and we encourage all to help themselves to anything available. Make yourselves at home!

We hope that you will join us in Black Mountain! We'd love to serve as your hosts!
Monica & John, Owners/Hosts

True as advertised
We left the frozen North, in mid January, to make Red Cottage our home for 61 days exactly, Check in process was seamless. There was everything in the cottage, that we needed for a long stay. there was even dog treats for our small Bichon Poodle. Yard has some fall leaves, that our pet did not like, mentioned that to Monica, and she sent a contractor who cleaned up in o time. Small boutiques , in black mountains are nice place to shop and near by cafes are nice touch. Over all it was an excellent getaway for us to beat the winter Blahs.

A red gem in Black Mountain
Such an adorable cottage that has everything needed plus some extras. The front porch rockers were a treat on sunny days, the kitchen has everything you will need, the whole place is so clean and comfy, and the hosts were great on communication. Being close enough to walk to downtown was a bonus. Definitely 5 stars.

Wonderful Two Weeks at the Little Red Cottage
What a cozy home in beautiful Black Mountain! Perfect location to walk to downtown or to Montreat for strolls around Lake Susan. Monica was such a wonderful and responsive host. She even came by to ensure we had everything we needed for our visit from our grandson during the stay, providing a pack & play, high chair, linens and even safety outlet covers. While she was there she noticed an issue with a broken gate from a previous guest and quickly ran to the hardware store and replaced it so our dog would have use of the lawn. I haven’t ever had such a responsive host. Thank you, Monica & Jon, for sharing your wonderful little cottage with us!

Beautiful Cottage with all modern updates. Fully equipped kitchen with top of the line kitchenware. Super comfortable queen bed. Two full bathrooms. Air-conditioned. Best of all, dog friendly. Black Mountain is as delightful town: walkable, great restaurants and dog-friendly. A perfect home for an extended stay. This is our second stay and we will be back next year. Monica and John are great people!
