Most who come to this area seek regionally famous attractions: Asheville, the Biltmore Estate, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Mt Mitchell State Park, and the Smokies….all within striking distance. Yet, most who stay with us, instead, fall in love with our small, magical, sometimes quirky, town...Black Mountain. With its growing reputation as a small town resort, Black Mountain has become the most visited Asheville satellite (per capita) in the region, and an outdoor mecca. With Montreat village only 5 minutes from the house, offering quick access to pristine Pisgah National Forest trails, our once secluded small town has become one of the most sought after destinations in Western North Carolina.
We provide an 8 oz bag of local coffee, a selection of K-cups, and assorted teas along with creamer and sugar. The house has drip, Keurig, and French press coffee makers. For the kitchen, olive oil, Balsamic vinegar, and spices, a slow cooker, blender, and everything you need for full meal service and prep. A propane grill is also furnished on the 1st floor patio with grill utensils and propane provided.
Regarding household essentials, we provide paper towels, toilet paper, napkins, trash/recycling bags, Cascade dish detergent, Mrs. Meyer’s dish soap, Mrs. Meyer’s Multi-surface Everyday Cleaner, laundry detergent along with Olay body wash and Nexxus shampoo and conditioner in each shower.
In regards to the house, there is Smart cable TV with Netflix and Prime. There is no smoking or vaping inside, but instead please enjoy your smokes on the private deck. For little ones, there is a high chair,baby gate, baby bath, and a Pack n’ Play. For families-cornhole, board games, books, and a firepit and outdoor furniture with firewood provided.

Check-in Instructions:
At 6 AM on the day of your arrival at The Luxe Retreat, you will receive an email with your front door keyless code, along with images guiding you to the property, parking, and entry door, making your arrival and check-in as seamless as possible.
* Regarding an early check-in or a late check-out, we have an option to purchase these in our Intown Guest Store: https://app.thehost.co/store/19211/. This gives you the option for a 2 pm check-in instead of the standard 3 pm or an 11 am check-out instead of the standard 10 am. These are the earliest possible check-in or check-out times as our cleaning crews are still hard at work preparing the house for your arrival or preparing for our next guests.
Pets
FOR NON-PET GUESTS concerned about possible past evidence of pets or hypoallergenic questions:
Our cleaning crew is second to none and is one of the reasons we maintain a 5 star rating. We have meticulously high cleaning standards, so pet hair, dander, or pet odor, is not an option here. But, for those with pet allergies, this is not one of our hypoallergenic listings.
FOR PET GUESTS...we love our 4-legged friends!
*Dogs only please: We’re a dogs only listing. There is a two dog, 70 lb/pet limit for the $130/pet fee. So a Lab or a Golden usually works unless over 70 lbs, but a large German Shepherd usually does not unless it’s under 70 lbs.
*Pet Reservation: Please make sure to let us know the breed and size (weight) of Fido.
*Pet Amenities (provided by the host):
We provide a cushioned crate that is 48”l x 30”w x 33”h. Also, we provide food/water service bowls for a mid size dog. In the outdoor yard area there is a waste bin provided with hand bags for waste cleanup. Please bring whatever other amenities your pet may need for your pet’s comfort.
*Pets Unattended:
If Fido is crate trained (and does not bark while crated), it is fine to leave the pet crated and unattended. But at no time is the pet to be left unattended if it is not crated. So please don’t risk leaving the pet alone if he’s not used to it or trained not to bark. This is a townhome, so unfortunately, if a neighbor calls and complains that the pet next door is barking uninterrupted, i.e. has been left unattended, then the pet will have to be kenneled. We enforce this. Thank you for your consideration.
*Practical Reasons for finding another listing: If Fido is an outdoor Houdini escape artist or a barker, this is not the best listing for your pet.
*Post checkout Damages and Payments: Post check-out damage payments in the past have included: unregistered pets, damage to duvets, furniture, and linens.
Otherwise, we look forward to hosting you.
Parking
There is parking for three cars, or two SUVs/trucks.
For groups with more than three cars or two SUVs/trucks, it’s tempting to try and pack a fourth car into the space, but you’ll end up blocking the turnaround option for the neighbors, so if there are more than three cars, please use the offsite parking guide (below).
Parking offsite parking is convenient, easy, and less than a minute walk. Please see our parking link (https://docs.intowncottages.com/3xq) for further instructions. Thank you!
You will find a map describing the above parking locations on the refrigerator upon your arrival.
