Description Description
Black Dog of Blue Ridge is named for the owners’ loyal dog, who loves coming to Blue Ridge to relax on the deck and roam in his fenced yard.  This peaceful retreat is great for a family, few couples, or a girls/guys weekend. Bring your own furry friend as well! 

This prow front home offers a rustic yet elegant setting with contemporary, premier furnishings, almost all purchased locally from Blue Ridge stores. Here, gazing out at spectacular views, you’ll feel at peace and at home while the real world disappears and your cares fade away.

Start each morning with the sun rising over a view that even the locals call "amazing." Have breakfast in the gorgeous dine-in kitchen as dazzling colors outside your window transform into a clear blue sky.

In pursuit of adventure? Take your loyal pooch for a hike through the mountainside, then head out to the river for whitewater rafting or tubing. Head over to the stables for a lovely horseback ride through the hills, then hit some balls on one the area’s pristine golf courses. Wind up the afternoon with a visit to nearby apple orchards for some beautiful fresh fruit. 

Kids of all ages will love hanging out downstairs, spending a rainy afternoon playing pool or board games. Fix a drink at the wet bar and grab a snack from the mini-refrigerator, then relax watching a movie snuggled up on the couch in front of the fireplace…Even the twin bedroom is downstairs for the ultimate weekend getaway.

When stomachs start growling, grill some steaks out on the deck for an easy, carefree dinner. Then take in a glorious sunset as you lounge on a sofa by the outdoor stone fireplace. Or, perhaps go for a twilight walk on Black Dog’s two sprawling acres of land.

After a fun-filled day, enjoy a soothing soak in the hot tub by the light of the moon. Rinse off in the master bath’s walk-in shower or whirlpool tub before crawling in to bed for a wonderful night’s sleep. Spend a leisurely morning in bed before starting another great day of mountain activities!

You, the ones you love and your faithful friends are guaranteed to have an amazing time at Black Dog of Blue Ridge. After spending some time here, your favorite command is sure to be “stay.”

A Getaway From it All Weekend!
Great place to unwind and have fantastic views. We really didn’t need to go anywhere. Kitchen was great! The outdoor fireplaces were a great central gathering place. The pool table was great and enjoyed the hot tub too. Stargazing on most nights was amazing! Brasstown Bald Is truly a spectacle and worth the drive, enjoyed Merciers Orchard.

Black Dog review
Really enjoyed this cabin! Property was great. It seems the area might have had some weather impact recently as a road was out and we had to detour around to reach the cabin. There was also a bit of damage to a fence section due to a tree, but it didn't impact our stay.Would definitely rebook!

Beautiful mountain getaway
My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend with our mini golden doodle. We had a great stay and would definitely rent this house again! The views were outstanding! The small outdoor fireplace/covered porch area is amazing with comfy furniture, and it came in handy when it rained. We loved the hot tub and the small fenced yard for our pup. We only used the upstairs bed and it was fine. Everything was labeled and spelled out well, and no problems entering or communicating with mgmt company. The road in is twisty but all paved, and manageable if you follow their directions. The last mile or so is on a very narrow road, but the one time we met anyone they backed up to a wider spot for us to pass. The towns of Blue Ridge and McCaysville are great fun for shopping and lunch. Loved the Mercier Orchards stop on the way into town! A lovely getaway.

Much needed getaway
Cabin has truly amazing views! Greatly enjoyed the outdoor fireplace every night, so relaxing! Loved having the fenced in area for my furbabies. Beautiful cabin, very well stocked. The owner has thought of everything! Only negative would be that main floor mattress definitely needs replaced, really sunken in on one side and uncomfortable. Overall, great cabin and I'd stay here again!

Gorgeous views, relaxing family stay
We stayed 5 nights in the spring. The house was exactly as described with the views being even more spectacular in person. We went with our two young children and our 80lb dog. We took advantage of hiking trails and horseback riding in the area.

Incredible view
Visited for a quick long weekend trip. Directions to the cabin were very accurate and the descriptions were great. The pictures of the views didn’t do it justice. We had some bad weather our last night, but we only lost power for a few hours. All in all amazing trip and can’t wait to book it again.

Beautiful Cabin!
Cabin was beautiful, well stocked and organized! We enjoyed the many fireplaces, well maintained hot tub and gorgeous view. Some items within the home could have been cleaner, but overall we were very happy. One road into the cabin was nearly impassable, but second road (which gps has difficulty locating) was fine.
