Fresh Newly Remodeled Cranberry Cottage. Private-Walk to Restaurants & Shopping

This place was great. Just what I needed for me and my husband plus our two dogs. Was very clean. The yard was super cute for kids or dogs and the firepit was a bonus. Very nice hosts. It could use slight upgrades in terms of furniture but everything was tidy and functional. It was about 5-10 minutes from downtown area and you could probably walk to some breweries in about a mile! Overall we would stay here again I really feel like the photos make it look smaller than it actually was. We had a good time!

Cranberry Cottage is a quaint little cottage that was perfect for me and my 3 dogs. The fenced in back yard was a great place to let the dogs run around in. I did not get the chance, but I bet sitting on the patio around the fireplace would be wonderful!

The entire property was enclosed with a tall, solid fence so we felt closed in with no view. The bed is more of a cot that sank somewhat...making getting in and out somewhat of a challenge. TV was through Roku rather than cable as advertised. Those being the worst, it was a pleasant time for us...it was very clean, the owner was very responsive to our inquiries and it was quiet. Everything worked for us.

The cottage was very cute and comfortable. For a one bedroom cottage it was very roomy. It was just myself staying, but it could accommodate more. The host was easy to get in touch with. It was very good if you’re traveling with a pet because I loved the fenced in private yard. It was cool and shady and a nice place to sit even in warmer weather. It is just minutes from downtown Black Mountain and you could walk there if you wanted to. My dog and I also enjoyed walking at lake Tomahawk Park, which was less than a mile away. I would definitely consider staying there again if I’m in the area.

This is our second time at this property, and we had a wonderful stay & visit w/family friends. It's a perfect size for us & our dog was welcome too & having the fenced in yard was perfect!

The property was said to be walkable into Black Mountain. It was not. The yard was unkempt and unattractive. The accommodations were only adequate and not attractive. The kitchen was lacking enough drinkware. However, the owner has been responsive to me after the fact and has taken my critique in stride.

Cute cottage close to downtown. You can walk to town, although some of the way there is no sidewalk. Several choices for food and entertainment, some had live music. The cottage is located very close to Graybeard trail and Outlook trail and not too far from other things to do. The yard is completely fenced. That was nice since we stayed with dogs. There is a front porch area and fire pit. The cottage is right on the street corner so there is some level of traffic noise, and the fenced yard helps reduce the traffic noise. The place is a little quirky. It was clean and comfortable. Everything worked as expected. Kitchen had enough plates and silverware. We enjoyed our stay.

This was a great property. Clean and just as advertised. We had everything we needed. Once you went in the fence it was very private but close to town. It was a great stay and we would stay again.

Easy arrival ,off street parking was great! Fenced in back yard was perfect for the pups so clean! ! The cottage was perfect clean quiet well equipped A/C work perfect and beautifully maintained! Location was perfect close to town and a short walk to a restaurant! We will be back and did I say clean!!! Also we where also luck no one was coming in and could check out later! Thank you so much!

The cottage was very convenient to downtown Black Mountain. Great fenced yard for the dog.

We looked forward to our month at Cranberry Cottage. Check-in went fine. The description of the cottage stated "freshly remodeled". Reading the description further it said the work was done in 2015, 9 years ago. The description and reviews emphasized how clean it was. This is why we chose this unit over others. We opened the front door and were immediately overwhelmed by a dank, musty smell. The single a/c unit in the hallway froze us. The rest of the cottage was uncomfortably hot. A dehumidifier in the kitchen ran continuously and heated it in the process. The kitchen was not clean. We tried to put groceries away but found dead cockroaches on shelves and we removed a lot of dirt when we wiped them off. Food had to stay packed in our boxes. We tried to fall asleep and couldn\'t. At 4am we packed the car and left. The host was responsive to us, but true communication was lacking. His suggestions, including us paying for commercial cleaners, were unacceptable. We continued our vacation (we stayed at the cottage for 8hrs but we had paid for 28 days) staying at motels. We returned occasionally to see if the odor was gone. There was less, but still too much for us. The description of the cottage is misleading and the host, while responsive, did virtually nothing towards a solution. A very expensive mistake that we will not repeat.

It was just what we needed for the weekend. The owners were responsive and accomodated our request. It was clean and the size and location worked great for us. The property was quirky but included evrything we needed. More lighting between the gate and the front door would be really awesome.

Good Location for visiting Asheville and surrounding area. Place was clean and had what we needed to relax in the evening. Quiet neighborhood.

From the housewarming gifts to the cleanliness of the property…A+ I will recommend 1000 times!

The property was on a busy, noisy street bombarded with passing car headlights. Environmental controls did little for cohesive comfort. Some rooms uncomfortably cool and others too warm at the same time. The property had no pedestrian access, the only way to walk anywhere would be to share the road with cars at a high rate of speed. There was excessive noise by neighbor's with idling loud motorcycles and noisy ceiling fans and a dehumidifier that made it hard to hear the television which didn't work for the first 24 hours or to hear another person speaking. For the cost, I would never recommend it.

Lovely cozy cottage great for one or two people. The house is as described and you are within a mile of the main area. Bill Alexander was a kind a gracious host.

I was so appreciative of Bill and Laura's communication and willingness to work with us. Our pet sitter had backed out last minute and they were willing to let us bring our small pack of puppers! The fenced-in yard was a big hit for the dogs and the simple, but elegant interior was perfect for my fiance and I for just stretching out at the end of the day. Highly recommend this property!

The house was easy to find, had everything we needed. Bill checked on us shortly after we arrived to make sure everything was in order. Even in a fairly busy area, it was extremely quiet. We had a very nice visit and would definitely stay again.

Easy check in and close to downtown.

This is our 3rd time staying at cranberry cottage and we enjoyed this stay just as much as the last 2! We were greeted with a snack, bottle of wine and fresh eggs. The electric fireplace is also a nice touch in the winter. We already booked another weekend! Go to my fathers pizza and ask for Lettie! Food is delicious and her service is amazing!

There were a couple of issues which have been resolved. One was during our stay(didn’t know how to work the tv/Roku). Messaged then spoke with Bill and was able to understand how to work things. I would suggest having a written step by step instruction there at the house for others in case it’s needed. There was a another issue which was addressed and corrected after we left. Bill was always available to help us. We enjoyed our stay and the wine was a very nice touch. Black Mtn is definitely our happy place.

Second time I’ve stayed there, nice to have a reliable and comfortable place when in the area, appreciate the hospitality.

My daughter, myself, and my fury friend had a wonderful visit! The house was perfect for us! The host had great communication with me! I left my grandson book and they are mailing it to me. Will definitely stay again next year!

We had an amazing stay! The owner was so helpful, friendly, and available when we had questions! We would 100% stay here again!

The property was extremely close to downtown Black Mountain and Lake Tomahawk. Pleasant and comfortable.
