The house was welcoming, well appointed and very clean. It was convenient for getting to town and surrounding areas we wanted to visit. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and in the yard. Nice quiet street.

Charming neighborhood - nice walking around and into town. The home is very well maintained and nicely appointed. We had everything we needed and more. Very comfortable outside space for coffee in the morning and drinks in the evening. Our dog felt just as at home as we did. Would love to return.

Thanksgiving getaway

We had a great stay at the View Street Retreat! The house is really lovely and the layout was perfect for our group which consisted of me, my husband, our two college age daughters and our two little dogs. Black Mountain is charming and we barely scratched the surface of all there is to do and see (and eat!) in the area.

Location! Location!

This house is in a quiet neighborhood and in a great location if you want to walk to downtown Black Mountain. It is a mix of old charm and modern flair. It was so nice to have a bathroom per bedroom. I baked a lot while I was there and was happy to see measuring spoons and cups...even a rolling pin! My only suggestion to the owner/Greybeard is to replace the teflon cookware with stainless steel. I had to buy a pot because all the pots and pans were scratched. On my last day, I also noticed short hairs on the fitted sheets from the upstairs mattresses. They went unnoticed since they were all the way down by the foot of the beds...perhaps pet hair? Either way, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will consider renting again. Oh, the small yard was very welcoming!

Patricia, we can't thank you enough for sharing your thoughtful feedback on View Street Retreat! We're delighted to hear you loved the walkable location, modern furnishings, and well-stocked kitchen, and we will certainly pass along your suggestion about adding new pans to the homeowner for consideration. We will also pass along your note about the pet hair to our housekeeping team to ensure quality control moving forward. We hope that we'll get the opportunity to host you again when you return to the mountains of WNC!
