I cannot say enough good things about the hosts and our stay! The studio was clean, the neighborhood was quiet, the recommendations on food were perfect! Our trip started out with a disappointing stop at the original house we booked and I quickly got online found the studio with David and Pamela and they were quick to respond and let us stay at their studio within hours of me reaching out to them! We were so pleased with our stay and will return!
We loved staying at this property! David and Pamela were extremely kind and provided a wonderful, comfy, and beautiful stay as well as recommendations for things to do in the area. The neighborhood was very safe and well located to visit Asheville and other surrounding cities. We would definitely stay here again!
Small space but excellent place for a short rental.
We thoroughly enjoyed the quiet, peaceful setting of this rental. It was well-equipped, beautiful, and very comfortable. The hosts communicated quickly and were friendly. The porch off the room had very comfortable seating for a lovely morning coffee and reading. The view was very nice. We definitely hope to return.
We visited Black Mtn for the 4th festivities in Montreat and this rental was perfect! The hosts were easy to communicate and fast to respond. The studio had an amazing porch overlooking beautiful mtn views. We will definitely be back!
This was a last minute booking for an overnight in quaint Black Mtn. So glad I chose this option! Pamela very warmly welcomed me to her immaculate carriage house. This cozy studio apt. above the garage on a quiet one way street for residents access only and has a spacious modern deck with nicely appointed furniture ideal for enjoying the fresh mountain air with a partial Mountain View. The new bed and linens is one of most comfortable I’ve experienced while traveling. Simple tasteful decor made this studio stay Practically Perfect in every way!

Amazing beautiful neighborhood with even better host who give thorough instructions of how to get to the neighborhood. Definitely a place to comeback to every time we come to black mountain. Room was extremely clean with very high quality linens. Amenities were all perfect honestly couldn’t have had a better booking than this one. Beautiful place to stay with attentive kind host just made our weekend trip that much better so glad we chose to stay here definitely would recommend to anyone just trying to relax in the mountains.
My hubby and I visited for a short getaway weekend over Memorial Day in Black Mountain, a favorite place of ours, to attend an event in town. This retreat was truly a relaxing and cozy space located in a beautiful tucked away neighborhood.
The studio apartment was cozy and relaxing and you can tell the hosts have an eye for detail and decor. The bed was super comfy with quality linens and pillows. The room and bathroom were spotless and surprisingly the bathroom had a very deep tub…a great amenity to have after a long day of walking, touring around or hiking. They also have an amazing, large deck perfect to sit out and relax on while watching the sun set. It features cozy chairs that rock, as well as blankets to curl under and nice lighting.
Dave and Pamela were so lovely and accommodating during our stay. I casually inquired as to whether they had a toaster, which they did not, and I was fine with that. I had the desire to have toast in the morning and was okay without.
What they did do in response? They ran out and got a toaster for me to use, as well as a loan of a stick of butter, just so I could have that toast in the morning. (And it was yummy!)
It was not necessary for them to do that - the stay was amazing as it was, but it was so kind and sweet of them to do. I really appreciated the thoughtfulness.
We definitely recommend this lovely and charming apartment. Perfect for a couples gateway. The photos do not do it justice.
I can’t say enough good things about this property and its owners. David and Pamela were so thorough with their directions and their welcome instructions. When I arrived they suggested places to eat and sites to see the views from the deck are incredible and II can’t say enough good things about this property and its owners.

The views from the deck are incredible and I enjoyed a lovely hike along the stream that borders their beautiful neighborhood. Hope to stay again when I return!
The subdivision and the unit were new and beautiful; decor and facilities were lovely. Host and hostess were attentive and cordial, very responsive as well! Will definitely return when we are in the area!
We so enjoyed our overnight in this beautifully appointed property. The hosts are kind, left wonderful recommendations, and have just attended to every detail. The furnishings are perfect and the bed is very comfortable. The view is outstanding and I am sure we would have enjoyed the deck in warmer weather.

This property was beautifully decorated with high-end linens and furnishings. It’s close to shopping and downtown Black Mtn. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay !
We absolutely loved our stay! The apartment is situated in such a picturesque mountain village and we felt relaxed the moment we pulled in. The apartment was decorated so beautifully and I loved the touch the hosts used with their collected artwork. The quality of the linens/decor did not go unnoticed. I hope we will be back again!
The owners/hosts were extremely thorough in their information regarding parking, entrance, early arrival if necessary, dining recommendations, etc. The unit is in a prime location and was immaculate with high-end but very comfortable furnishings. Our questions pertaining to internet and tv use were answered immediately and they even provided a brief and amusing tutorial to these quasi-technology-challenged seniors. Our only regret was that we could not stay longer but we will most certainly return.
Booked the property for a solo hiking trip and to explore Black Mountain (the town). Property was exactly as described and shown in the pictures. Everything appeared brand new and was extremely clean. David called me on my way into town to ensure I had received the directions and if I had any other questions which was thoughtful (also checked in during the stay to make sure I didn’t need anything). Property is located super close to town which makes checking out the local breweries and music super easy. Would definitely stay again. Thank you!
Wonderful stay! Great location! Very comfortable bed and cute bathroom. Lovely views from the deck. Quiet and peaceful retreat. Hoping to visit again soon!
Amazing little apartment in a great neighborhood. Great patio and apartment was furnished nicely. Highly recommend and would stay again!

STAYING IN THIS ABOVE GARAGE APARTMENT WAS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! IN ADDITION TO THE ULTRA CLEAN, GREAT BEDDING & KITCHEN CONVENIENCES, THE HOST/HOSTESS WERE SO PLEASANT, KIND, AND HELPFUL TO SUPPLY EXTRA ICE WHEN WE NEEDED IT! THEY KNOW THE ART OF HOSTING FOR SURE! THE DECK IS COMFORTABLE, W/MOUNTAIN VIEWS WE HATED TO LEAVE! WALKING THROUGH LIVING SMALL RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY PLEASANT ALSO! CAN'T WAIT TO RETURN!
Everything about this rental was top notch and immaculate. Lovely decor and rich beddings. Great sitting area outside also. Close to everything. Would definitely stay again!

About the host
Hosted by David and Pamela Cowart
Having lived and worked for many years in the scorching lowlands of South Carolina, retirees Pamela (university librarian) and David (literature professor) invite you to savor the air here, where the altimeter reads 2397 ft. and the nearby brook calls to mind Wordsworth's Lucy poems ("And beauty born of murmuring sound / Shall pass into her face").
