The Bear

Thank you so much for hosting us! We had an enjoyable and comfortable stay!

Loved staying here! Everything was super easy and very clean. Really felt like home for the week! Easy short walk to cute downtown shops and restaurants a nice quiet neighborhood with beautiful yard and lots of privacy. Would definitely stay here again!

We loved our stay in Black Mountain. The place was clean, spacious and had everything we needed. Lovely area, peaceful and beautiful surroundings but also close to shops and restaurants. Paul was very proactive with comms and quick to respond to any questions. Would stay here again if we ever come back.

We had a great time in Black Mountain made possible with great accommodations. Paul’s place was clean and quiet and served our family’s needs very well. Plenty of parking and walkable to town. We would definitely stay here again

Wonderful stay in Black Mountain at this spot - highly recommend!! Walking distance to everything in Black Mountain and super close to great hikes and activities in the area and surrounding areas. Amazing outdoor space that we really enjoyed! Great setup inside with everything we needed in the kitchen, great living room space, and amply sized bedrooms.

This spot was perfect for a little weekend trip with some friends to explore Black Mountain! The house is so cozy, easy to navigate, was very clean and ready for our arrival! The hosts are very responsive and helpful! I will definitely be returning!

Great place to stay when visiting Black Mountain - excellent location and perfect for families.

Wonderful stay and would definitely stay here again if I come back to Black Mountain!

My family (3 adults, 2 kids) had a wonderful stay in Black Mountain at Paul’s place. It was clean, well stocked and comfortable. We loved that it was walkable to all the places we wanted to explore in Black Mountain. The location was perfect and we hope to visit again someday!

We loved our stay here. The house itself was clean and cozy and the kitchen was very well-stocked. The outdoor space was also very nice and there was even a rabbit in the yard to welcome us upon our arrival. It was a short walk (less than ten minutes) into Black Mountain, which is a great little mountain town. The hose was friendly and responsive. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful stay in Black Mountain as we always do! What a beautiful home. Plenty of space. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Would definitely stay here again and of course being able to walk downtown from the house is a huge plus!

One of the best Airbnb spots that I have stayed. Excellent, clean, and comfortable! When I’m back in black mountain I will definitely book again.

What a lovely place! And so close to everything we were hoping to see and do. Really appreciate all the special touches and how easy it was to get there. Thank you!

Wonderful property and host

We've stayed here before when we needed space for out of town guest and will definitely book again!

We had a wonderful stay and will most definitely return. The place looked brand new and had plenty of space, all of the little things one would want to feel at home in Black Mountain. Easy walk to the restaurants and an awesome location overall!

The home was exactly as described. It was well-equipped and very comfortable. We really like the ease of check-in and the communication was excellent. Black Mountain is such a quaint little town!

We enjoyed our stay. Plenty of great restaurants close by and within walking distance to the downtown area. The home has plenty of space for a small group of friends or couples. The outdoor area is a nice place to relax and end your day by the fire pit. We hope to visit again.

Such a wonderful spot for a Black Mountain getaway. Walkable to downtown. Beautifully furnished. Would absolutely come again!

Great location. Very clean and pleasant place to stay.

Perfect spot for a girls weekend in Black Mountain! We were a group of five and had plenty of space! The beds (including the pull out) were comfy, kitchen was well stocked, and the place was tastefully decorated. Felt right at home and would absolutely return!

This place was great! The inside was well laid out, clean, and welcoming. Everything was as described plus coffee, snacks, beer and wine! The outside was very nice as well. They even left firewood for us to use in the fire pit. 10/10 would stay here again

This house was wonderful! Paul was always very responsive and helpful. We couldn’t have enjoyed our stay more. We had a girls weekend with myself and a close friend, and our 2 teenage daughters. The girls loved having the downstairs (bed, bathroom, couch, TV and very spacious area) to themselves. It’s a very easy walk to downtown Black Mountain, and an easy 15ish minute drive to Asheville. We also thoroughly enjoyed the sitting area and fire pit in the backyard. The house is so nice and clean! It’s in a quiet little neighborhood, and a great area to walk or jog. We would all highly recommend this place!

Paul’s place was perfect for our stay. We spent the weekend running around, planning for our daughter’s wedding in the Fall. He was able to provide us with flexibility for our arrival and departure to work around all our appointments. He was very responsive to any questions we had. We felt right at home, there was a bottle of wine, some beers, and snacks upon our arrival, which was a nice welcome to the house. We enjoyed hanging out back by the fire pit. We walked to some breweries in town. Thank you Paul for everything! Would highly recommend this home to others.

Great place for a peaceful mountain weekend stay!

This house is excellent! Very walkable to downtown Black Mountain and an easy drive to Asheville. Aside from location, the house is great for a group of friends to spread out. Loved everything about it!

Great place to stay in Black Mountain. The pictures don't do this place justice. The outside area was very nice. The landscaping was absolutely beautiful. Wish we had booked a longer stay. Friendly neighborhood and beautiful downtown area.

Great stay, walking distance to downtown. Communication was great and I was able to check in early. The backyard space is really nice and relaxing. I'd stay again and I highly recommend

Had an absolutely wonderful stay at Paul’s. Lots of wonderful things, but these stood out: - They have done a great job with the reno--the place isn't fussy but has wonderful mid-century/mountain touches. It lives easily--for example, the entry hall with a bench and pegs keeps things organized. - The back yard! Shoutout to the two wonderful sugar maples. Easy to work out there. - Paul was lovely to work with. - Neighborhood was safe and very friendly! Hope to stay again.

Paul's place was great for our group of two couples. It's in a great spot, has plenty of space, and is nicely appointed. This spot is definitely now on my favorites list.

This stay was so convenient to the restaurant and downtown scene in Black Mountain, and yet it is well off the main road and in a very peaceful setting. The rooms are comfortable and everything was set up well for us. The host was incredibly helpful and friendly, quick to respond and great with restaurant recommendations in town. The highlight for us was the outdoor seating area and fire pit, which is a perfect setting to enjoy an early fall evening with friends. We’d definitely consider staying here again on our next visit.

Lovely home. Our family of 7 stayed for a couple of nights, everyone was comfortable. Neighborhood felt safe and there were lots of great restaurants nearby to choose from as well. Would definitely stay here again!

Our visit to beautiful Black Mountain are ended with the disastrous rains from Hurricane Helene. Paul and his partners/owner were wonderful - proactive and responsive, kind and concerned for our wellbeing and for our gathered family members nearby. The neighbors, town, and regional emergency response organizations showed the best in everyone - friendly, helpful, calm in the face of crisis, greatly concerned about those who may have been stranded or worse, and also concerned about the basic needs of everyone for water, shelter, food. Everyone in our group (3 of us staying at Paul's Air BnB, and 21 others around the area) is making contributions to Black Mountain, regional, and national entities providing disaster response. We loved our time there and look forward to coming back when things are recovered - there is too much to see and do in one trip!

If you’re considering booking this, do it! The house is incredibly clean, spacious, and so cozy. The host messaged and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. The house is nestled down a quiet street, and is still walkable to downtown Black Mountain. We absolutely loved our stay here and would love to come back!

This property was amazing. It was super cozy and really intimate - just what we needed to spend quality time together as a family. The property had everything we needed to cook a full thanksgiving dinner meal, which we had outside at the table by the fire pit. We were very close to everything that we needed and by the spa that we booked for relax day. We’ve decided to do this trip annually so we will return again next year and hope this property is available because it was everything!!

We LOVED this stay! The accommations were lovely, just as described. The backyard is cozy and quiet. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others!

Super cute and peaceful. Walkable to downtown. Highly recommend!

This house is in the perfect spot, great area, walkable to downtown, and fully stocked kitchen. Will be back!

Wonderful stay, will definitely stay again if we are in the area! Beds were comfy, great amenities, adorable town, and equipped with all we needed. Highly recommend!

Exactly as described. Highly recommend!

Absolutely beautiful place and Paul, the host, was the perfect host. Made sure we had what we needed and let us enjoy.

Paul’s place was absolutely wonderful! My family and I went over the weekend and it was the perfect getaway. The space was exceptionally clean, and Paul showed intentionality throughout the whole weekend with the assistance, and all that the home provided. I would recommend the state to anyone looking to escape to Black Mountain/Asheville!

This is a wonderful place to stay when visiting Black Mountain, NC. Very walkable to downtown and easy to find. This place provides gorgeous privacy in the middle of everything. Anything you could possibly need is provided. We stayed an entire month and wanted for nothing. Our host was super kind and responsive to all our inquiries. One of my top AirBnbs! Will definitely be back 😁

Lovely small but comfortable duplex. 3 BR and 2 BA, very clean and cozy. Easy walk into town. Really enjoyed our stay. Had one small issue and they were very responsive and addressed it quickly. Would be happy to stay again.

Fabulous place. Felt at home. Will be staying there again….. no need to look elsewhere!

The space was beautiful inside and out, great location, and great communication!

So beautiful area, very clean and well equipped house. We enjoyed staying there.

Excellent location; walk to downtown Black Mountain, Lake Tomahawk, short driving distance to hiking, Montreat and YMCA. Home is well provisioned for cooking. Very quiet. Nice neighbors. Great decorating. Very comfortable. Easy check-in. Definitely a top stay in our more than 10 years of Airbnb’s.

Awesome place, super clean and a great location in nice neighborhood. Will book again when in town visiting Family.

Perfect Stay in Black Mountain We had a wonderful stay at this rental house in Black Mountain. The home was spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and very comfortable. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into keeping everything in excellent condition. The location is ideal—peaceful yet conveniently close to town, hiking trails, and everything we wanted to explore. The house was also very well equipped, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay, from the kitchen essentials to cozy touches throughout. We truly felt at home and would happily come back. Highly recommended!

We really enjoyed our stay. Everything was perfect and the house was immaculate. Loved the backyard. Would definitely stay here again.

The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and exactly as described. The bed was super comfortable, and all the amenities were thoughtfully provided. The location was perfect—close to everything but still peaceful and quiet at night. was incredibly welcoming and responsive, making check-in and communication easy from start to finish. I truly felt at home and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommended

Excellent stay! Nothing could have made it better. Such a beautiful home. Walkable to downtown with 2 toddlers. Best air bnb I’ve ever stayed in. And to top it off, it was spotless.

It was so nice to have coffee outside in the morning listening to the birds. The home is nicely decorated and peaceful. Everything was clean and lots of things in the kitchen to cook and even bake. Neighbors are so sweet too!

Great location and plenty of room for everyone! The outdoor space was a nice surprise and thank you for the coffee and creamer and snacks! Will be back!

This house was perfect for our family vacation. The beds were very comfortable and the house had everything we needed. Loved the walkable location to downtown Black Mountain. Lots of great restaurants. We will definitely be back!

This was a great stay. Check in was super easy. Host was very responsive and helpful. The place came with good amenities that others don’t - such as coffee filters, some snacks, extra dish soap, and laundry detergent. The house is walking distance to downtown and a hiking trail. It was very clean and simple to manage everything. Absolutely recommend staying here and would stay again!

Look no further! This was the cleanest, coziest, nicest Airbnb we have ever been to! The backyard with the fire pit is so relaxing and beautiful! There wasn’t a crumb on the floor and the beds were extremely comfortable! Everything was supplied we literally did not have to get a thing! The host was an extremely generous host who was so kind to us! We ate locally which was amazing! We highly recommend!
