Over half of our Black Mountain cabin rentals are pet friendly, making this one of the most dog-friendly mountain towns in Western North Carolina. Located just east of Asheville, Black Mountain gives pet owners easy access to a network of nearby trails — including Lookout Trail and Greybeard Trail in Montreat (our namesake) and Catawba Falls down the mountain in Old Fort — where it's common to see hikers bringing their furry family members along.
The town also has an eclectic lineup of restaurants with pet-friendly patios. Foothills Grange serves burgers, sandwiches, and craft drinks in an almost entirely open-air space dogs are sure to love. Bush Farmhouse, Louise's Kitchen, and My Father's Pizza are also great spots to bring your pup, or grab a beer at nearby Lookout Brewing or Black Mountain Brewing.
