Black Oak

The location and view are amazing from this property, and easily exceeded expectations. Upon arrival, there were a few cleanliness issues that we formed the company about. This place is spectacular.

Very nice property with spectacular views and a short drive to everything in Asheville. The home was spacious, well-appointed, and the perfect place for a getaway with our grown children.

Chris C - Posted: 6/26/2024 - Stayed from: 6/18/2024 to 6/23/2024

Great stay for my family. We even saw a momma bear and 3 cubs off the deck. Highly recommend staying here.

Scott H - Posted: 6/26/2024 - Stayed from: 6/8/2024 to 6/12/2024

We enjoyed this beautiful, thoughtfully furnished, well-equipped home. And yes, we did see a mama bear and her cubs on Black Rock Drive as we left the house one morning.

Mitchell B - Posted: 5/23/2024 - Stayed from: 5/11/2024 to 5/18/2024

We loved our stay at this gorgeous house. There were 7 of us - our parents, our 3 adult children, our daughter-in-law, and our toddler granddaughter. We came from Massachusetts, Virginia, and South Carolina to spend a few days together in a neutral location with plenty to do for fun. We all loved being up on a hill and weren’t scared off by the steep driveway. The bedroom situation worked perfectly for us and everyone was comfortable. The house layout is excellent, with plenty of room everywhere, including the wonderful porch. We would stay here again if we returned as a group to Asheville.

Meredith L - Posted: 5/23/2024 - Stayed from: 4/18/2024 to 4/22/2024

We loved having the extra bed in the basement to spread out, and the views were incredible.

Wonderful stay in Asheville. The property is as advertised/pictured. Views are outstanding! We enjoyed mornings and evenings on the deck. The kitchen was well supplied.

Jason R - Posted: 3/20/2024 - Stayed from: 3/3/2024 to 3/9/2024

The home was very welcoming and spotless. Lots of windows and spacious, very comfortable beds, and everything was perfect.

Angela B - Posted: 2/21/2024 - Stayed from: 2/10/2024 to 2/17/2024

We enjoyed this property, it was luxurious and very clean.

Michele C - Posted: 2/5/2024 - Stayed from: 1/2/2024 to 1/4/2024

The house was extremely clean, and roomy, and had everything we needed. It was the perfect size for our family. The location was ideal as well. I highly recommend it.

Bonnie P - Posted: 11/29/2023 - Stayed from: 11/2/2023 to 11/6/2023

Wonderful house at the top of a hill. Spectacular views and very private except for the wildlife that was everywhere. Great communication and responsiveness with management. No complaints, would easily return here.

Thomas A - Posted: 11/29/2023 - Stayed from: 10/24/2023 to 10/30/2023

Great views and a very comfortable house. Great location close to Asheville and the Blue Ridge.

Shivangi P - Posted: 11/3/2023 - Stayed from: 9/30/2023 to 10/5/2023

It is a beautiful house, well maintained and very clean. Privacy and beautiful views but conveniently close to town.

Kenneth B - Posted: 11/3/2023 - Stayed from: 7/28/2023 to 7/31/2023

Edward L - Posted: 11/3/2023 - Stayed from: 8/8/2023 to 8/13/2023

Beautiful home at the top of a mountain near downtown Asheville. Great views with plenty of room for our family of 5. Our kids wished they would have brought a couple of friends because there was plenty of room in the lower level/basement.

Scott E - Posted: 10/30/2023 - Stayed from: 10/6/2023 to 10/10/2023

The house was beautiful. The kitchen had everything you need. The beds were very comfortable and the views were amazing. We will definitely come back

Cindy C - Posted: 10/2/2023 - Stayed from: 9/3/2023 to 9/9/2023

A very nice house secluded at the top of a hill. Great views from the covered porch. Very clean, with comfortable furnishings and beds. It is a 15-20 minute drive to downtown Asheville. We would definitely stay here again.

Phyllis T - Posted: 10/2/2023 - Stayed from: 9/18/2023 to 9/25/2023

This was our second visit to Asheville and this property made it so special. The view was incredible and the outdoor setting was what we looked forward to each day. It had everything we needed and we looking forward to coming back.

Clare C - Posted: 8/23/2023 - Stayed from: 8/2/2023 to 8/8/2023

We had an amazing time at this property. The house is just as pictured. It was very clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. The downstairs with the extra bed and couch allowed us to spread out when we wanted the space. The deck had amazing views. The driveway is a little steep but we got used to it and loved being in the mountains and it was only a short 15-minute drive to downtown. You can tell the owners put a lot of love and care into their homes. We would definitely stay here again.

Kirk L - Posted: 7/26/2023 - Stayed from: 6/8/2023 to 6/17/2023

A gorgeous property. We enjoyed our stay

Patty J - Posted: 5/4/2023 - Stayed from: 4/16/2023 to 4/20/2023

Really nice property. Ride up the mountain a little more than expected. I would rent this property again.

Craig W - Posted: 5/4/2023 - Stayed from: 4/13/2023 to 4/16/2023

We had an amazing visit. Thank you so much for opening your home to us. This was our girls' first time in the mountains, and we made many great memories. The view was spectacular and absolutely breathtaking everything. Some deer even went through the yard one day - another first for these Florida girls.

Brian W - Posted: 4/10/2023 - Stayed from: 3/17/2023 to 3/19/2023

Great view and the deck was amazing!

Ross A - Posted: 3/21/2023 - Stayed from: 10/27/2022 to 10/31/2022

The house is luxurious and comfortable with a beautiful view.

Adnan N - Posted: 3/21/2023 - Stayed from: 10/6/2022 to 10/10/2022

Our family all met in Asheville for Thanksgiving. The house is beautiful and exceeded our expectations. Deck and Views are incredible. House is very comfortable with a great open living room and kitchen. Bedrooms were spacious for our family 6 adults. The is in perfect condition. Great location in quiet neighborhood but close enough to explore downtown Asheville which is great,

Andrea S - Posted: 1/23/2023 - Stayed from: 11/24/2022 to 11/28/2022

The house was perfect for my friends and I for our stay in Asheville. Just a short drive to downtown, and the view was astounding. The pictures don’t do it justice, the mountains are stunning! The house had plenty of space and was very clean. We had a great time!

Emily Y from USA - Posted: 9/15/2022 - Stayed from: 8/27/2022 to 8/29/2022

We had a fabulous time during our vacation stay here. Beautiful views, fantastic home, easy to find. While steep, the drive up the mountain was easy.

Denise G - Posted: 8/10/2022 - Stayed from: 6/15/2022 to 6/19/2022

peaceful view, we wanted to get away and enjoy beautiful surroundings ...Black Oak provided this for us. The grounds and everything in the home was clean, and up to date. Seth, who helped us reserve this location was helpful, and offered resources and updates.

Maria F from Ashland, VA - Posted: 7/14/2022 - Stayed from: 6/30/2022 to 7/6/2022

Property was perfect for our family of 6. The view is spectacular and the property was just as represented. It's in a beautiful neighborhood high in the hills. We enjoyed taking walks and short hikes from the property. Just a short trip into town so the best of both worlds.

Mike H from Cypress, TX - Posted: 6/9/2022 - Stayed from: 3/14/2022 to 3/19/2022

Large, modern and updated mountainside retreat. Views from the deck were great (though weather did not allow us to enjoy them as much!). Kitchenware was the best our group has ever experienced. Within reasonable driving time (10-15 min) of downtown AVL

Jim C from Augusta, GA - Posted: 6/9/2022 - Stayed from: 4/7/2022 to 4/10/2022

We loved our stay at the house. It's a beautiful well equipped home, with comfortable beds and furniture, a great kitchen and nice hangout areas. It has a huge deck with a great view. It's about 15 minutes outside Asheville in a very quiet location. There are a number of supermarkets within 5-10 minutes. There were also some nice hiking trails that we could walk to directly from the house (walk up the hill behind the house to the adjacent community and you can enter a local trail system that's pretty nice). The Blue Ridge Parkway is about 15 mins away. As others have mentioned, the road up to the house is very steep and the final 100 feet to the house are super steep. We didn't have any issues even with a big SUV, but initially it was eye opening! Bottom line - we loved it and would easily stay here again.

Gintaras V from Chicago, IL - Posted: 6/9/2022 - Stayed from: 4/14/2022 to 4/18/2022

Lovely property and beautiful views and kind neighbors!

Sarah J - Posted: 6/9/2022 - Stayed from: 1/21/2022 to 1/23/2022

What an incredible view!!! The house was so comfortable and incredibly well equipped. We enjoyed a girls weekend, complete with massages, tarot readings, and a private chef dinner and there was plenty of space for all. Just minutes from W Asheville, we were easily able to sneak into town for a delicious dinner at Jargon, highly recommend as well! We cannot wait to come back here again!

Alison A - Posted: 6/9/2022 - Stayed from: 1/28/2022 to 1/30/2022

Beautiful place. Probably the best-stocked kitchen we have rented. Extremely clean. The furnishing was very nice.

Blair K from Ponte Vedra, FL - Posted: 1/20/2022

Absolutely outstanding!!!

Jacqueline L from Hugo, MN - Posted: 9/3/2021

Property was perfect for our short getaway to Asheville!

Renna H from Claxton, GA - Posted: 12/13/2020

"Black Oak is a beautifully-appointed house, with a spectacular view! I have never seen a more completely outfitted kitchen, or house, for that matter. Every dish, pot, pan, 2 coffee makers, books, TVs, chairs overlooking the valley, and a visit by bears, to boot! My family loved everything about our visit and look forward to returning!"

Tom H from Tallahassee, FL - Posted: 11/28/2020

The house was beautiful! We really loved the property and would most definitely return!

Kate W from Snelville, GA - Posted: 11/21/2020

"We absolutely adore this house, its view and the friendly neighborhood black bears! We spent a lovely week here enjoying the fall, the Blue Ridge Parkway, beautiful waterfalls & most importantly, spending time together. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We hope to be back soon!"

The L from Miami, FL - Posted: 11/7/2020

Fantastic location atop the clouds in the valley. Close proximity to downtown Asheville as well as grocery stores and other amenities at the base of the mountain.

Gen H from RIchmond, VA - Posted: 10/19/2020

We had a great time in this beautiful mountain home. We will be back. Kitchen was well equipped and we all took turns making dinner. Porch was great with beautiful views.

Kimberly K from Louisville, KY - Posted: 10/12/2020

Everybody needs beauty ... places to play in and pray in where nature may heal and cheer and give strength to the body and soul alike. [John Muir] This property spoils. Nestled in the mountains but a short distance to downtown you get the best of both worlds. The house has luxury finishes and plenty of room for entertaining. Views of the Carolina mountains and downtown. My girlfriends and I agreed this will be an annual trip to this property. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home - it was a relaxing and fun filled weekend with my favorite girlfriends!!

Jill & from Atlanta, GA - Posted: 10/12/2020

This place is so much more than they describe. Beautiful views day and night. The house is open and spacious for a large gathering. Wonderful hikes around the property. Met so many kind neighbors. We will return!

Kathy R from Tulsa, OK - Posted: 9/20/2020

We had a great stay! The house was perfect for our group.

Maria T - Posted: 3/17/2020

The house was beautiful and the views were breathtaking. The driveway was no joke. The decks were peaceful and a great place to relax. None of us wanted to leave!

Janey W from Oklahoma City, OK - Posted: 2/26/2020

Not only were the views amazing but the house is spacious and cozy at the same time. Great place to make memories with your loved ones!

It was fantastic to spend time with the ""gang"" like no time has passed! Fun at every meal dining out and cooking in! Shopping, talking, laughing . . . so blessed to have such wonderful people in my life. "

Babei a from USA - Posted: 11/18/2019

The house was very clean & the view was unbelievable. We stayed in and cooked some nights and then when we did go out it was so convenient to get to basically anywhere in town. I would definitely book here again!

Ryan S from Lake Mary, FL - Posted: 10/24/2019

"New, clean, great views, quiet, a bit far from downtown Asheville (20 min) but worth the nice view, 3 bedrooms with an extra 4th bedroom downstairs with a Murphy bed. I would stay there again! Great waterfall 3 mile Hike at Dupont Forest Hooker, Triple, High Waterfalls"

Dan G from Chattanooga, TN - Posted: 10/4/2019

Beautiful house with amazing views! We had a great time and could have sat on that porch forever. Would definitely book again. Thanks so much!

Sarah H from USA - Posted: 9/19/2019

"Wow! What a wonderful experience we had thanks to finding this gem of a home! The view is just amazing and the home is immaculate. We toured the Biltmore, the Sierra Nevada plant, shopped downtown and soaked in the Asheville experience at several wonderful restaurants. Thank you so much, we will be back!"

Michael W from Marietta, GA - Posted: 9/10/2019

Marcia S from Ellicott City, MD - Posted: 7/8/2019

Loved being in Asheville for my daughter's wedding 4/27/19. This house was amazing for our family. So lucky my brother-in-law was able to come - he had a heart attack 6 days prior!! My son and my boyfriend made the trek to pick up wedding favors!! My BFF for life helped me more than you could ever know. J-Wow (Sue) you are amazing and thanks for sharing this with me and my family. My sister - set up an amazing charcuterie table. The girls - my nieces so precious - love them so much. What a week. Can't thank Asheville enough for giving us a dream day. The people in this town who helped us were amazing. Loved being up above the tree tops. XXX OOO Asheville We Love You

Kathleen A from Westmont, IL - Posted: 6/7/2019

"We have just returned from a wonderful Thanksgiving week in this lovely cabin. Our family loved it and there was plenty of space to relax and enjoy ourselves! The cabin has everything you need and wonderful amenities. We had fun with the fire pit, hot tub, mountain views, and hiking through the area. Everything is nearby for short day trips to Bryson City, Gatlinburg, Asheville, and Maggie Valley. We saw the Biltmore Estate, waterfalls, an rode the Polar Express. A truly wonderful week created awesome memories. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with our family! "

An exceptional experience from beginning to end. THANK YOU!

Christine S - Posted: 3/18/2019

We had a fantastic stay and the house was incredible. Absolute perfection and total first-class. Same with our Carolina Mornings experience. Thank you and thank the awesome owners. Thank you again for all your help and we will be back.

Christine S from Bloomfield Hills , MI - Posted: 3/15/2019

A 5-Start rating all around!

Kevin & - Posted: 2/19/2019

We enjoyed our time there and would definitely look to stay there again. Perfect for families.

Marianna R from Mt. Pleasant, SC - Posted: 1/24/2019

This house is an absolute stunner. Myself and my guests had a wonderful time and we didn't want to leave that view. I look forward to renting this home again. My husband and I travel a lot and we mostly rent homes and condos.

Laura W - Posted: 10/25/2018

"The property was amazing. When you're driving there, it definitely feels like you're driving to the top of a mountain. Then you get to the top and the views are incredible. We took our two children and the house suited our family perfectly. It was very clean, cozy and we could have stayed all month! We always rent houses when we travel, and this was one of my favorite and one of the cleanest/nicest we've experienced. It was also a really easy 15-minute drive downtown and close to hiking as well. Although when you're sitting in front of the fire or out on the porch watching the sunset, it's hard to pull yourself away from the house."

Katherine S - Posted: 10/18/2018

"We enjoyed a wonderful family, reunion weekend in your beautiful home. We got to see the Chihuly nights at The Biltmore, exploring downtown, eating at fun restaurants, drinking local craft beer and hanging out in the house. HIGHLIGHT of the weekend was watching the bears!! Book collection was also a treat! (""Thank you for letting us stay at your house. I enjoyed it very much!"" - Jake Age 10) "

The T from USA - Posted: 9/20/2018

We loved the home. Gorgeous views and excellent accommodations.

Lee S - Posted: 4/25/2018

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home in the mountains with us. We came with 3 generations of family and had a wonderful time. The house had everything we needed and there was so much to see and do in Asheville. Even our 2 year old loved playing out on the balcony and riding the roller coaster up and down the mountains. P.S. I loved your book collection!!

Betsy V from Travelers, FL - Posted: 4/9/2018

The hosue was amazing and we will definitely be back to stay there!

Anna N - Posted: 9/19/2017

"This home is so beautiful and comfortable that you may not want to leave. Although there is a lot to do in Asheville, the views from the deck are amazing and it may be hard to get in the car again to make the short drive to Asheville to take advantage of the many restaurants, interesting shops, and art galleries. Asheville is only a short drive away, but at this home, you will feel as though you are in the mountains and far from any city. Hiking on the Blue Ridge Parkway is available, but you can also find some interesting hikes which can be accessed from this property. It is a five-star experience."

Zoe from Travelers, USA - Posted: 9/19/2017

"Gorgeous home, perfect location for family gathering!"

Carole H - Posted: 9/18/2017

"I can't say enough about the positive experience we had renting this home. The app was great, the house was phenomenal. As a group, we rent homes for vacation trips usually 2 or 3 times a year. Hilton Head, Wilmington, and Asheville. This was one of the best rental experiences we have ever had. We look forward to coming back next year and getting the same house. Please let the owners know how much we enjoyed our stay and hope to return. We must have looked at 100 homes for this trip and we selected the perfect one. Thank you Carolina Mornings. "

Matt W - Posted: 9/12/2017

"Black Oak was an AMAZING home is the fabulous mountains of Asheville North Carolina. A weekend out of the city with some girlfriends could not have been more perfect. The house was super easy to find and the amenities were fantastic. I could have sat on the back porch and read every book in the house! The view was incredible. I wish I had more time, and will totally be heading back soon."

Randi from Travelers, USA - Posted: 8/22/2017
