Whistle Stop | Pet-friendly, Spacious Deck, Fire Pit & 5 Min. to Black Mtn! | House in Black Mountain
2 Bedroom House in Ridgecrest, Black Mountain
Retro charm & contemporary style abound at this lovingly-restored and recently remodeled home that embraces Mid-century modern design. From the warm wood paneling and five-panel glass door to the large windows and vibrant color palette that beautifully converges with earthy browns and greys, you?ll instantly feel inspired to explore and relax at this inviting and stylish mountain hideaway. In the morning, enjoy your coffee on the spacious back deck while you listen to the wind rustling the trees and look out at the seasonal mountain views. When you?re ready, travel 1 mile into downtown Black Mountain. Known as the ?Front Porch of Western North Carolina,? you?ll spot the iconic red rocking chairs throughout this treasured small town that stand as your reminder to slow down, pull up a chair, and relax. Filled with novelty shops, art galleries, and boutiques, you can easily spend the entire day shopping for local goodies to help you remember your time in the mountains. For breakfast, stop into Open Oven Brunch + Bakery where you can enjoy southern favorites paired with an AppalaChai on their covered open-air patio. As your morning coffee begins to wear off, walk across the street to the Dripolator Coffeehouse in the center of town. Along that street, you?ll find the Swannanoa Valley Museum and the Black Mountain Center for the Arts where you can explore regional history and art. For lunch, walk around the block to enjoy authentic Cuban cuisine at Cousin?s Cuban Cafe, or pop into any of the many locally-owned restaurants along Cherry Street. For avid hikers, Montreat is a quick 5-minute drive, and Lookout Mountain is a great trail that's just under a mile long and offers stunning panoramic mountain views. Also in Montreat is the epic 4.8-mile Graybeard trail that offers incredible views (especially in the fall during the peak color-changing foliage). As a reward for your hike, grab a refreshing beer at Black Mountain Brewing or Lookout Brewing before heading over to Lake Tomahawk Park, where you can play a round of tennis, or read your favorite book on one of the benches as you watch the ducks bathe. In the evening, craft a delicious meal at your vacation home using fresh produce and artisanal local products you grabbed at the Black Mountain Tailgate Market and The Grocery in the Village of Cheshire, or sit down to dinner at Que Sera + Tayloe?s Oyster Bar. For an after-dinner drink, head to the newest rooftop bar, The Bell Tower, for a refreshing cocktail and breathtaking panoramic mountain views. End your perfect day by watching the sunset on the back deck while gathered around the cozy fire pit. Like the book of its namesake, Whistle Stop perfectly weaves together the past and the present to create a mountain retreat that is charming as it is contemporary, and with a railroad crossing nearby, you will even hear an occasional train whistle blowing in the distance!
