Black Mountain Cabins & Vacation Rentals
A small mountain town in the Swannanoa Valley, fifteen miles east of Asheville and surrounded by trails.
Black Mountain is the kind of town people mean when they say they want a quiet mountain trip. Main Street is walkable and full of galleries, antiques, and independent shops, and the peaks of the Swannanoa Valley sit at the end of almost every street.
It is close enough to Asheville for a day out and far enough away that evenings stay quiet. Lake Tomahawk is a few blocks from downtown, and Montreat's trail network starts just next door.
