Lovely stay at the Babbling Brook Cottage

My husband and I have vacationed at this beautiful cottage on two other occasions. It has been a delightful experience each time. The hosts are accommodating, the property comfortable, easy access to Black Mountain and Asheville is close by as well. The area is in welcoming guests once again post-Hurricane Helene

Lovely!

Very nice studio apartment with high end furnishings. Everything has been thought about and host leaves lovely snacks and drinks in the fridge for your stay. The hardest part was my husband and I fighting over the fifth cookie (thank you they were lovely!)… easy communication, enjoyed our stay, thank you!

Babbling Brook is perfection!

Peaceful, clean, perfectly positioned with more goodies than you can imagine. My son's favorite: the amazing oatmeal cookies. The pull out bed was comfortable for his 6 foot frame and I slept like a baby in the queen bed. The shower was hot and had a great shower head, all the linens were clean and comfy. Jean and Doug were easy to contact and so hospitable . We will be back!

Great getaway

Great place to stay away from the hustle and bustle of Asheville. Clean and quiet. Loved the babbling brook right there. Jean and Doug have made every effort to make the stay enjoyable from the cookies she left, the snacks and drinks. There is also lots of information on the things to do in the area. My visit was to see the Chihuly exhibit at Biltmore. I could definitely see coming back for other things in the area. I will say that if you stay early in week a lot of the local restaurants are closed. Would definitely stay here again.

Mountain getaway

This was our first time to the Black Mountain area and this bungalow was perfect for me and my husband. It was a great location in a quaint area and you can hear the running brook outside your window. Doug and Jean are very friendly and welcoming. They provided everything we needed and even have a fridge with some water and other beverages, a basket full of coffee/tea and condiments, a basket full of various snacks and a welcome plate of homemade oatmeal chocolate chips cookies. The parking spot available is small so if you have a large vehicle there is parking a door or two down from the bungalow. Overall, we would stay here again.

Wish I could give more stars :-)

We couldn't have been happier with this darling bungalow! SO welcoming to us and our pup! Super clean and neat as a pin. Jean and Doug have thought of every thing you could possibly need or want. Not only did we REALLY love our stay...we feel like we made new friends. We'll be back, for sure! The creek is dreamy and there's a fenced dog area for a little romp very close by. You won't be disappointed :-)

Fantastic Stay in Black Mountain

This property was fantastic and met every need. The location, cleanliness, and amenities were perfect. It was better than advertised because of Jean. She is such a warm and friendly host. We were welcomed by homemade cookies upon our arrival! I recommend staying and will stay her again if I am back in the area.

Great stay

Our hosts were always happy to say hello when we saw them around the property. The kitchenette had everything we needed and was well stocked with snacks. There were even dog treats and extra doggie bags when we arrived. Do note that the bungalow is above a garage and there is some occasional rumbling from the door, but it was not an issue for us.

Amazing Getaway

Met Jean and Doug when I was first arriving. They were so friendly and guided me to various restaurants and coffee shops to experience in town and Ashville. We had fresh baked cookies along with a well stocked frig of local beers and beverages to try. They even had a little treat bag for our Samoyed. The cottage is cozy and bed is really comfortable. The neighborhood has beautiful walking trails and a dog park/ fire pit if you wanted to hangout. Absolutely will be staying here again. Close to downtown Black Mountain and a short drive to Ashville. If you’re a big mountain biker some of the best trails are less than 20 min away.
