What guests think
Across the reviews for Cottage on Fifth, Location!, Location!, travelers repeatedly praise the fantastic walkable location near downtown Black Mountain and Montreat, the quiet residential setting, the sparkling cleanliness, and Brenda’s warm, helpful hosting that balances attentiveness with privacy.
Guests often describe the cottage as cozy, well equipped, and ideal for two, with charming decor and comfortable beds. Many appreciate reliable Wi‑Fi, a pleasant porch and garden setting, and well stocked touches like coffee. A few notes include the studio style layout, the cottage sitting behind the owner’s house with limited views, and one mention of a dark path and a booking platform glitch. Expect a simple, comfortable base for a Black Mountain stay.

This is a very nice place to stay, a short walk from your car to the cabin, you’ll find that the property is accented by beautiful flowers and shrubbery. Very cozy & clean. We’ll stay there again if it’s available.

Great spot, about 5 blocks from downtown. Very new and clean, with great air conditioning, basic kitchen setup and comfortable bed. Only thing I’d note is listing description says 1 be/1 bath, but it’s a studio (all one room, plus bath). Not a big deal but my wife’s a night owl so we usually try to book places where the bedroom is its own room. Our host, Brenda was fantastic by the way. Present, but not obtrusive and a great lady.

The cottage was just as shown. Extremely clean, cozy & within walking distance of Village of Black Mountain. We didn’t cook, but kitchen appeared to be well equipped for simple meal prep. We would definitely stay again. Check in & communication was easy.

My stay at this cottage was an absolute delight! Clean space, lots of sunshine and quaint but cozy feel. WIFI was also amazing which was what I needed for work-if you want a respite within a quiet neighborhood, walking distance to downtown, and even a resident bunny in the backyard to see, this place is for you! Host Brenda was also very friendly, courteous and warm, whom I had the opportunity to meet during my stay. I will definitely be coming back!

Very cozy, cute, and all very clean and new. Location is excellent (about 2 minutes from downtown Black Mountain and 15 or so from Asheville proper) and is very quiet and well kept. Brenda was wonderful and very respectful of our privacy the whole time we were there. Exactly what we were looking for...hope to visit again soon!

The house was small and perfect for the two of us. Tastefully decorated. Loved the front porch. The host was friendly and helpful but not intrusive. The house is in a backyard and the host works hard on the lovely landscaping. We really enjoyed ourselves. Great quiet place to stay and enjoy Black Mountain.

My wife and I had an excellent stay at this cottage for a long weekend getaway to the mountains of western North Carolina. As indicated in the title of the property listing, the location is fantastic. We wanted to explore both downtown Black Mountain as well as Montreat, and this property is perfectly situated for that. We also were able to walk into Black Mountain to enjoy the annual Sourwood festival and didn’t have to compete for parking. The owner was exceptionally friendly while also giving us privacy at the cottage behind her house. We hope to stay here again!

Charming little cottage in very quiet location. Easy walk to town. Well equipped. Brenda was an absolutely lovely host. Super friendly and helpful and a fun lady. So happy we stayed in Black Mountain rather than Asheville. Such a friendly little town.
