Loved this house! Great trip all around
I had an amazing weekend at this property with some friends. It was clean, spacious and didn't feel overly crowded with eight people. The view was incredible and the amenities were awesome. It's a bit of a hike from Asheville, so you'll need a car to get back and forth (Uber is probably too far) if that's where you're going. Overall, the house looked just like the photos and my group had a fantastic time! The one complaint: weak WiFi.

Stellar Cabin & Amenities!
Fantastic property! We booked Hummingbird Haven for a long weekend Birthday trip. Home was spotless upon arrival. Kitchen was well stocked. Very nice features including a hot tub with a view, firepit, gas grill and game room with a pool table and ping pong table and various board games. Overall a 10/10. We will be back without a doubt.

Great view, great location
This property was excellent for a getaway with two families — adults and teenagers. Easy access to Black Mountain downtown and Asheville. Beautiful views of the mountains. Kitchen was well stocked and plenty of towels were provided. Game room was a lot of fun for adults and teens alike. Only issue was that there weren’t two nice master suites for both sets of adults; one was amazing and the other was a loft or a room that shared a bathroom. I don’t think the listing claimed otherwise though — so no complaints! Otherwise everything was wonderful.

Mountain Escape
Lovely property well represented by listing. Gorgeous views and balcony access from every floor. Site is very well stocked with all the comforts of home, including kitchen utensils, equipment and appliances, fireplaces, linens, washer and dryer. As identified by others, internet and cell access very spotty. We were looking to disconnect from all of that, so it was not a problem. Very convenient location, with easy access to highway and 15min to downtown Ashville. Will definitely return.

Not What We expected
Very nice property, but with some major drawbacks. Mountain views are limited by numerous trees and filthy windows in the Great Room. RT 9, below the property, is very noisy making conversation difficult if not impossible at time while sitting on the deck. We expected limited wifi, but what is available is almost non existent. Same with cell coverage. Dining in Black Mountain is scarce. On a positive note, the cabin is well stocked and the AC is a blessing. The game room is also a nice amenity as is DISH TV though a channel guide would be nice. Replacing burned out lights in the Game Room should be a priority..The sofa in the Great Room has seen better days as well as the 5 position couch on the deck.

Fabulous family fun
Our adult family had a wonderful time at this beautiful “complex”. We were delighted to discover that the game room is its own building. Plus the hot tub has its own little space just off of the house. The downstairs was a little musty smelling but the extra space there was great!

Perfect Mountain Retreat
This welcoming home is a wonderful place to spend time away with friends or family. We enjoyed all the amenities. The hot tub was clean, maintained and the best way to start and end our day. The view of the mountains was beautiful! The house was clean, lots of amenities in the kitchen, and the property managers were easy to communicate with...we extended our stay because we couldn’t bring ourselves to leave.

Beautiful views
This home hosted me and 5 other adults comfortably! The living room is gorgeous with huge windows and Mountain View’s. Great space for staying in with friends or family, cooking and soaking in the scenery. Definitely have a four wheel drive vehicle in winter because the driveway is very steep and icy. We can’t wait to come back to Hummingbird Haven!

A wonderful time with fun for all ages!
This property had so many things to keep every member of our family (from age 11 through 70!) happy. The house is beautiful and the views are second to none. We even saw a black bear on the last day! I had one question for the property manager - he answered the phone very quickly and was able to fix the (small) issue right over the phone. I already want to go back again!

We went here for our honeymoon and it was absolutely perfect! Incredible views, super clean and beautiful interior, and super relaxing atmosphere! Perfect if you just want to stay in and relax but also close enough to everything that black mountain and Asheville have to offer! We will definitely be booking again!

Very Good Mountain Getaway
We really enjoyed our trip to this house. My wife and I brought my in-laws and our two 10-year old twin daughters and had a great time relaxing in this home. The home has a wonderful main level with wonderful views out to the mountains, including the large deck off of the great room. The whole group really enjoyed the game room as many games of ping pong and darts were played. The location is secluded on a private drive, but very close to downtown Black Mountain - no more than 10 minutes away. Also very close was Montreat, where we enjoyed some great hiking. There were a number of minor inconveniences that alone wouldn't have been a big deal, but collectively, brought our rating down from 5 to 4 stars. The two biggest of those issues were WiFi and Master Bedroom bed. The master bedroom is very expensive, with great views and a sitting area. We just thought (as some previous reviews have stated) that a king bed would be more appropriate for the space than a queen. Also, the other queen room is very tight, much smaller than what the pictures look like. The other issue was the WiFi, which was minimal at best. Now, we don't go to the mountains to be on screens all day and we were looking to unplug quite a bit (i.e. no streaming movies, etc.), but the WiFi couldn't handle more than one device trying to simply send an email or text. The WiFi was delivered through a small Verizon hotspot and simply did not have bandwidth one would think would correspond with the house. My suggestion would be to either be more upfront about the limited WiFi, or look into options to boosting the bandwidth. We've been to many mountain homes more remote than this where this wasn't an issue. That said, if you are looking to 100% unplug, this wouldn't a concern for you. I should point out that the rental company was very communicative and accommodating to our questions/concerns which they had control over - I think the issues above are out of the rental company's control. All in all, it was a very good trip, with some minor drawbacks.

Perfect getaway for family
We were looking for a change of scenery and some quality family time, and this was the perfect place for our needs! The house was extremely clean and well managed with lots of space for family gatherings or to spread out for a little peace and quiet. We also took advantage of the numerous nearby opportunities for hiking, fishing, shopping and kayaking. Overall an excellent experience and great customer service. Thanks for a great stay!

We’d definitely stay there again!
