Fantastic stay

Superb location, and the house had everything we needed. We could tell a lot of energy was put into amenities. Great backyard and walkable to downtown. Our host was super responsive with our one request. Looking forward to staying again soon!

Just what we needed

Needed a place to stay over Thanksgiving since my relatives didn't have enough room in their own house. Slow Pace cottage was perfect for us - comfortable, all the things we needed, dog-friendly. I would stay here again.

Slow Pace

We loved our stay at Slow Pace in Black Mountain NC. The location is great, close to town and hiking trials. The house was perfect for us and our dog. The yard is fenced and our husky loved running around in it. In addition to the 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom cottage there is a very large outdoor covered space. We spent many hours there, reading, drinking tea, grilling and eating dinner. We also appreciated the many thoughtful extras inside the house such as the nightlights and the well equipped kitchen. Belinda was quick to respond to any questions or concerns by text. We would definitely stay there again!

Black Mountain getaway

This property was perfect for me, my 2 sons, & my 8 year old grandson! The location was ideal, furnishings were cozy & warm, a well stocked kitchen IF I wanted to cook, the huge fenced backyard (for my standard poodle to run & play), a fire pit, large covered patio with a grill & ample seating, homey front porch for neighborhood watching, comfortable beds, plenty of linens on hand, AND the home was all decorated for the Christmas holidays. I only regret that we weren’t able to stay longer due to obligations that allowed just a 2 night stay. I highly recommend this home in Black Mountain.

Great location and great with dogs.

My husband and I wanted to explore the area for possible future retirement. The home is close to the highway and downtown Asheville. Very cozy and comfortable and fully equipped kitchen for preparing meals. Love the fenced-in back yard for the dogs as well as the patio and fire pit. General store next door is convenient if you need anything. Thanks Belinda for your hospitality!

Like Your Grandmothers house

Cute little 1930s bungalow. Bed was comfortable. Linens and towels were good quality. The house is situated at the fork of 2 busy roads which made sitting outside noisy. Inside with the doors closed very little noise. Traffic died down around 9pm. Close walk to town. The country store next door is very convenient. We had no communication with the property manager so I can’t rate that.

Amazing place/host

Slow pace cottage Belinda’s place was perfect for my husband and I, our 13 month old and our two large dogs. It was so comfy and cozy and was even nicer in person. Belinda’s hospitality was unmatched and she has the house stocked with everything we could have needed including toys, books, puzzles and a high chair. We loved the large fenced backyard and covered outdoor area with fire pit. We enjoyed a fire nightly rain or shine. The store next door was very convenient and we were able to grab some local craft beers to enjoy by the fire. We loved being able to walk to delicious restaurants, breweries, shops and a park with a splash pad. Catabwa Falls was also a short drive away and was beautiful. We love this cottage and Black Mountain and can’t wait to come back! Did we forget to mention that we love Belinda?!

Relaxing comfortable getaway!

We were so happy with this property! The decor was super cute and clean. The owners went above and beyond leaving a full bowl of water for our pup and a bottle of wine for us! It also had other necessities like shampoo+conditioner. The store next door also came in handy. We (especially our dog) enjoyed the large fenced yard with beautiful big old trees and a covered seating area with a fire pit and lovely lighting! Loved it!

I am a restaurant manager, but enjoy fixing up older houses, had a blast giving this 1930's bungalow some shine back. My husband and I live in town, so will be close by if anything is needed.
