Immaculately clean! Quiet and convenient location!

Shane and Rebecca recently renovated this cottage and did a fantastic job. I’ve never stayed anywhere so pristinely clean and it was very comfortable! Proximity to downtown Black Mountain and other amenities was perfect. I would stay again in a heartbeat!

Great Family Getaway

Mackenzie Manor was just the right place for my family during our stay in Black Mountain. Mackenzie Manor was fully equipped with everything we needed.

Great Black Mountain Cottage

The place was EXACTLY as advertised and was perfect for our long weekend in Black Mountain. Just five minutes or less to downtown and 20 or so to Asheville, the location is perfect. And the house has been so tastefully renovated. It was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and well equipped. We would definitely stay again if available the next time we’re looking for a long weekend away!

Friends Retreat

My college roommate and I (from many years past) had a wonderful stay in your charming, spotless, and oh-so-comfortable cottage. This is my second stay here and I’m already planning another visit for the fall. So close to so much…hiking, Black Mountain, great restaurants and shops and a fantastic yoga studio too! Thanks for another great stay!
