Great for a quiet weekend spot
This property is clean and comfortable, exactly as pictured. Everything you need and nothing that you don't. There is no kitchen but they do have a mini fridge, coffee maker, and microwave, and a plastic tub in the bathroom for washing dishes. The screened porch is a nice spot for relaxing without bugs. The only downside is that if you like to sleep late in the morning, the upstairs can be loud with people walking around. If you're just looking for a place to sleep while you're in Black Mountain, look no further.

Cute little place
Cute little place to crash. Not a whole lot of hangout space but the porch is good (if you can tolerate the pollen), it's clean, and the kitchenette is a nice touch. Very nice to find that toiletries and basic kitchen stuff was available (although I wish I'd known in advance what types of things to expect).

Super cute and nice spot!
This location was so clean and had really nice modern amenities and decorations. Things in the house were really clearly labeled and easy to operate. Lots of heating/cooling options, extra blankets, etc. The little kitchenette area had everything we needed too. We contacted the POC with one question and they responded to resolve the issue in moments. It was an awesome stay.

Nice property to call home for a couple of days. We rented the lower level which great as long as the upper level is empty. First night was extremely noisy and hard to sleep.

Relaxing!
My husband and i stayed here for 2 nights as a part of our honeymoon. The house was super clean and the atmosphere is every bit of relaxing! I don’t know where to begin. The master bedroom bed is more than comfortable and you can control the temperature to your liking, the bathroom has a large garden tub if you want to relax with a hot soak after hiking/shopping all day, and our favorite part was the bed swing on the screened in porch! The bed swing was sturdy and clean. The evening temperatures allow for peaceful relaxation and the screen on the porch keeps the bugs out! We have already been thinking about booking this again for our anniversary! Thank you, Fox Hollow, for a clean, comfortable, and relaxing experience! We will be back!

Great place for a weekend getaway
My husband and I stayed at Fox Hollow while in Black Mountain for the weekend. We really enjoyed our stay. Although it is part of a house and there were renters in the top level, it felt very private with a separate entrance and no real shared spaces. We especially loved the screened in porch and had coffee there each morning while listening to the birds chirp. The living space inside is not very big, and I think it is important to note that it does not have a full kitchen but rather a small "kitchenette" with a coffee maker, microwave, and mini fridge. For us, that was all we needed as we had planned to eat out most meals anyway. We brought a gallon of water to use in the coffee maker and for drinking since the only sink was down the hall in the bathroom. We really appreciated that the bedroom was well thought out with a TV, chair, walk in closet with shelving for your belongings. Plus the bed was very comfortable. Overall, we would stay here again because it was relatively inexpensive for a clean and comfortable space.

Quiet and convenient
We enjoyed staying at Fox Hollow, especially the location in a quiet neighborhood and walking distance to Lake Tomahawk and downtown. It was tastefully decorated and the walk in closet was perfect. It was furnished with nice linens as well. The porch was lovely and the weather warmed, allowing us to take advantage of the porch bed. However, the large bathtub was nice, but to use the shower was difficult because of the circular shower curtain which required significant manipulation to move and adjust. Not having a sink in the kitchen area, having to use the bathroom sink, felt unhygienic. Allowing access to a broom or vacuum would be useful for collecting debris from shoes and dust under the bedroom furniture. Tracy was very helpful with sending the check in information that Evolve failed to do even though this was requested twice. While the place was convenient and furnished nicely, we will look for similarly located lodging for our next stay. We do visit Black Mountain often, at least 4 or more times a year, and know the community well.

Overall pretty good!
this property was really quaint and cozy. However, I was not aware that the top of the house was also rented and those renters had two pre-teen boys. It was quite loud as they were yelling and stomping around. I did reach out to the owner, who assured me she would speak with the upstairs renters. The noise died down about 9:30 pm each nite. Just be aware that there could potentially be people above you. The porch bed swing is lovely and we took a couple of wonderful naps out there!

Wonderful Stay
My husband and I stayed at the Fox Hollow for a weekend getaway and it was a great location and very accommodating! It was immaculate, plenty of space and had been totally updated! We took a nap on the swinging bed on the porch after site-seeing during the day. The owner had wonderful recommendations of restaurants and things to do in the area! We will be back soon!

Disappointing
Unfortunately the pictures were a bit misleading. The tiny kitchenette is located in the room that is the “second bedroom”. It is not even equipped with a sink. The only water source for this place is the bathroom. If you rain the microwave and toaster oven at the same time, it trips the breaker. It is all plugged into a power strip. The landscape was massively overgrown and was being worked on while we were there. Like back hoe equipment - not just trimming and laying down mulch. A credit was given for the disturbance for one day. The parking for our unit was also directly under a tree that dripped large amounts of sap all over our vehicle. We sure enjoyed what the area had to offer, but the accommodations leave a lot to be desired. Would not recommend to any of our friends traveling there.

This was just a getaway for my husband and I and it was AMAZING!! Food in town was so good and everything is close by. I recommend staying here and exploring the mtns!! My fav part was drinking coffee in the morning on the bed swing and soaking in the huge tub! So peaceful! Tim is a great host and we hope to get back to Fox Hollow again!!

Amazing stay very relaxing and close to attractions.
This experience was AMAZING. only downfall is the last day we seemed to run out of toilet paper and couldn’t find any within the bathroom. Had to use some napkins. Otherwise I give this rental a 11 out of 10! Very beautiful and homey feeling. Also the owner is quite the gentleman making sure that you know all the information needed upon arrival. Also the travel book inside the home along with photos that point out all the needed info was 100% on point and helpful! One of the best for sure!

Cute and Cozy Place
Fox Hollow was the perfect stay for my husband and baby while we visited family nearby. The bed is super comfy and there is a large closet in the bedroom we were able to put a pack and play in. The location is perfect, close to the main road near restaurants and a CVS. Tim was very responsive and helped us out when we had some questions, we would happily stay here again!
