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. The location was great and the house was very comfortable and relaxing. I would highly recommend Mackenzie Manor to anyone wanting to visit the beautiful mountains of North Carolina.

Mountain cottage

Few cleaning products, towels need replacing (tired), description sounded like it was recently renovated and close to downtown .
Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2024
Response from VrboOwner on 18 Sept 2024
We are sorry to hear that you were only semi happy with your recent stay. However, if you would have let us know that you felt something was lacking during your time at the cottage we would have remedied it right way. Instead you both said everything was great, so we had no way of knowing any different. As for the location; the property is a short drive to downtown, we know this as we drive it daily. The property was recently renovated and there are plenty of cleaning products at the house for our guests to use at any given time during their stay and the towels aren’t tired at all but I’ll be sure to replace them immediately.

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!

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!
