Settle into a cozy cabin in North Carolina’s “little town that rocks.
”
Only 20 minutes east of Asheville at the southern terminus of the Black Mountains—the tallest range in the Eastern United States—the adorable town of Black Mountain provides plenty to do, plus cabin rentals that venture from quaint and rustic to large and luxurious with ample amenities like a hot tub under the stars. Once youve settled into your Black Mountain cabin, you can wander the streets of the historic whistle-stop to explore shops, Appalachian craft galleries, and places to eat, drink, and enjoy live music. Rocking chairs front many of the early 20th-century buildings, lending Black Mountain its slogan: “The Little Town that Rocks.” For those seeking adventure, the adjoining community of Montreat offers a trail system covering more than 30 miles in a pristine wilderness, while the surrounding Pisgah National Forest draws mountain bikers with miles of singletrack. Whether staying in a log cabin, a tiny house, or a cute cottage with modern amenities, peak baggers wont want to miss the epic Black Mountain Crest Trail, which traverses 10 of the highest peaks in the Eastern US. Cabin campers will find something to do year-round here, but the best weather is to be found in April through October.
