About Ellen Post

Owners Rick and Ellen Post frequently travel from their Maryland home to their favorite area in the whole wide world, Black Mountain. Here lives their 2 daughters who are teachers in the Asheville and Appalachia areas. We love this perfect spot for our mountain cottage: nestled in the cute quaint town, and yet just around the corner to Asheville, Blue Ridge Parkway, Lake Lure, Appalachain Trail, The Biltmore Mansion.

Cozy Home Away From Home

5 of 5
Submitted: April 8, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
What a wonderful time we had in this sweet, cozy cottage in the quaint town of Black Mountain! A perfect place to gather with friends and family as we celebrated our son's first birthday. The house was perfect for a busy crawling baby (he loved all of the toys!) as well as for our four-legged friends. There was plenty of room for everyone and although there was plenty to do in the surrounding towns of Black Mountain and Asheville, our favorite thing was just hanging out in the comfortable, cozy living room in front of the fire place. Late-night ping-pong tournaments were also a big hit. We loved exploring the area...you can't beat the breweries, BBQ and bluegrass!
Can't wait to come back.

Family Fun in Amazing Black Mountain Cottage

5 of 5
Submitted: April 2, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
It is a rare treat to see my daughter, son-in-law, and especially my grandson from Oregon, so what better place to meet than in Black Mountain. My son and his wife joined us from Maryland along with their childhood friend from D.C. What a perfect house to reminisce and enjoy each other's company. There was nothing that we needed in the house. All was provided for us in an organized, neat, and user-friendly style. The playroom in the basement was perfect for children and we all loved the gas fireplace in the living room...such a cozy retreat, the perfect place to make memories.

How sweet it was!

My wife and I feel like Black Mountain regulars after spending a lovely week with many of our family at the Sweet Cottage. We heard local music in the neighborhood, strolled through the friendly Black Mountain town center, climbed to the dramatic 360 degree view atop Lookout Mountain, and just had a ball in Asheville!
But the best part was sharing time with our family in the cottage. It was so warm and comfy, and there was plenty of space for all of us to do our own thing, or come together for some fun. Thanks to the Posts for providing such a nice home away from home!

Wow - Exceeded My Expectations

5 of 5
Submitted: March 31, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
Coming from California to a family reunion in Black Mountain, I had thought it might be a charming but rustic "rough-it" place, but instead walked in to a gorgeous, comfortable house full of modern conveniences like wifi, streaming videos, a backyard grill, central heating and A/C, and full laundry facilities. There were wool tapestries and original watercolor paintings on the walls, and nice accent pieces everywhere. Throughout our stay, I marveled at how clean and well kept everything was, and how tasteful yet cozy the furnishings were in every room of the house. There were eight adults, but it didn't seem crowded. The kitchen was great - the owners had stocked the cupboards with everything from nice wine glasses to great cookware, the pantry with staples, and the frig with basics and condiments like mayo and mustard. Everything seemed thoughtfully planned to maximize their guests' enjoyment. Definitely the perfect place to kick back with friends and loved ones around the great fireplace and stay awhile. If it was this nice in the winter, I hope I get a chance to come back again later in the year when the trees in the surrounding woods are all leafed out - it would be even more spectacular. I give this rental an A-plus!

Home Away From Home - Outstanding Vacation

5 of 5
Submitted: September 5, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
We are still reminisicing over our 10 wonderful, fun-filled days in Black Mountain. The Sweet Cottage was our home away from home. It is nicely maintained, very clean and everthing we needed was at our fingertips. The house is in town so that each day we strolled into Black Mountain and in the evenings we walked around Lake Tomahawk and then enjoyed sitting on the back deck of the house surrounded by trees. Tennis courts are nearby with rackets provided by the owner. Hiking is available in Montreat, and paved biking trails are in the Pisgah National Forest to Point Lookout. The NC National Aboretum near Asheville is a "must see" and if you like ballroom dancing, check-out the Solace's restaurant lower level for a casual evening of dancing (cover fee only $5) Some great restaurants in both towns, including the Grove Park Inn - a must see!

There are so many activities between Black Mountain and Asheville, that we will be back to continue where we left off. Highly recommend this vacation home and location.
