This is our second vacation in Black Mtn and the Outside Inn did not disappoint! It had everything we needed and more - it isnt often that a house comes equipped with basic cooking supplies and coffee items. Much appreciated. We even used some ziplocks and replenished them.. when you’re traveling, especially for a week, it’s nice to have little extras. The cabin was very clean, cool, cute and functional. We didn’t spend a lot of time inside because we were either on an adventure or on the FABULOUS porch! We lived on that porch! The location cannot be beat either. We like being by the lake and golf course because we like to walk. Speaking of walking, our pup enjoyed the cabin life too - so glad it was pup friendly! He loved snoozing in a sunny spot on the porch! We don’t have a fenced in yard so it was such a luxury to have a fenced in yard! We loved the Outside Inn!

Paige, thank you so much for your thoughtful review of Outside Inn! We're thrilled it exceeded expectations and that you especially enjoyed the well-stocked kitchen and fabulous porch—it really is the heart of the home! We're glad your pup seemed to have the perfect vacation, too. With Lake Tomahawk, the golf course, and downtown Black Mountain all so close by, the location really is hard to beat for those who love to explore on foot. We truly appreciate your kind words, and we hope to welcome you (and your four-legged family member) back for another unforgettable Black Mountain getaway soon!
