Our Nightly rate is $250.00 per night. Taxes are 10%, housekeeping $125.00 per rental. Pets (up to 2) are $125.00 per rental period. The nightly rate for up to 8 guests is discounted for reservations of 7 or more days.

About Bob and Lorna

We built our home in Swannanoa for our eventual retirement from Virginia. The chalet was constructed using the poplar trees on the property for the interior woodwork and stones off the mountain for the rock garden and walls. We hope that our guests enjoy our continuing efforts to landscape and beautify our retirement home!

Bob and Lorna purchased this chalet in 2005
Why Bob and Lorna chose Black Mountain

We visited family who had moved here and just fell in love with the area. The pace is not too fast or too slow, and the diversity of attractions downtown is amazing. Even after 25 years, we still find new things to do!

What makes this chalet unique

Our home is an 'away from it all' mountain experience. Excellent daytime views and nighttime stars, cool mountain breezes and the sounds of birds and other wildlife. Enjoy being 'in the woods' while still close to Black Mountain and Asheville's restaurants, shopping and activities.

We left a note in the book by the front door, but we just wanted to say again how much we enjoyed our time at Asheville Lookout. The whole first floor was accessible to my daughter in a wheelchair; the deck was incredible (even though the weather didn't cooperate enough for us to spend any time on it!); the kitchen was exactly as advertised; and there was enough space in the home for us all to enjoy some "alone time" as well as come together for meals. The home was clean and well maintained, although some of the dishes and pots/pans needed cleaning before we could use them (no big deal, we just washed everything to be on the safe side!). There were enough dishes that my brother and his fiance could join us for dinner (they live in Black Mountain) a couple of evenings and the openness of the home made conversation easy as we moved between the sitting areas, kitchen, and dining area. The kids loved it. We loved it. And on our last day we started to talk about when we want to visit again!

Beautiful home looking out to a small mountain. Colors in autumn were beautiful, especially on the Blue Ridge Parkway, a short drive away. Close to grocery store, Asheville, Biltmore, Grove Park Inn. Home was even nicer than we expected. More than a house, the owner has made it a real home. We enjoyed ourselves greatly there. Owner was kind and accommodating as well.

Great Place, Great Time

Submitted: September 19, 2012 Stayed: August 2011
To start, we had never rented a "cabin" before, so this was a first. It exceeded our expectations, which made it all the better. We had my parents come down from Michigan, us from Louisiana, to stay there for two nights. We had a wonderful time, the location was perfect. Our only regret was that we did not stay one more night. Three nights would be the way to go if you have the time. The slightest issue we had is we could not get the hottub to work which we left a note for the maintenance people. That said, it in no way hampered our stay. We loved the place. The layout was great, to the point it may be the blueprint to our retirement "dream house" in the future. Thanks again...

Very Comfortable

Submitted: September 19, 2012 Stayed: September 2011
The home was set up with all the conveniences of home and the furniture was very comfortable. The view was beautiful and there was plenty of room (inside and out) for the seven of us to enjoy one another's company yet have some occasional privacy if desired. We were in North Carolina to attend a wedding in Swannanoa and the trip into and out of town was short and easy. That was a pleasant surprise in itself. We had a very pleasant stay.
