Unique architectural style meets Black Mountain neighborhood charm. This designer space stimulates the artists-at-heart and provides a gracefully modern space suitable for a long or short-term stay. Located on a quiet street in the heart of town, you'll have easy access to all Black Mountain has to offer. Take a 15min stroll downtown to enjoy local shops and restaurants or a 5min walk to Lake Tomahawk. Additionally, you'll be less than a 10min drive from the beautiful hiking trails of Montreat.
The Mac House is a very special place and we couldn't be more excited to share it with you.
Those familiar with the Black Mountain architecture and design world will recognize the home as one designed and built by Horace McGuire “Mac” Wood. Horace was a “small house designer” who was part of the faculty at Black Mountain College in the early 1940s where he taught design and construction. After his career at the college, Mac designed homes throughout Black Mountain over the course of the next two decades. This home was built in 1947 and recently renovated with careful intention to keep the spirit of the home’s design intact.
Though quirky in style, the home is highly functional for all aspects of living, including a kitchen/dining area; a living room overlooking the backyard; a master bedroom with an adjoining half-bathroom; and an additional room which can be utilized as a workspace, studio, or additional bedroom. The house has a new front and back porch, which are ideal spaces to enjoy the serene environment the home is enveloped by.
You will enjoy access to the entire home during your stay. For your convenience, the house is set up for contactless self check-in with a lock box.
Grab your morning coffee and walk outside to the lake, where you can enjoy the beautiful half-mile trail. In the evenings after 7:30pm, the nearby golf course cart path is available to the public for an after-dinner stroll to see the stars.
Have a large group and need more room? Our sister location, The Carriage House, can sleep up to 4 (a well designed studio with a queen bed, couch, and room for air mattress) and is situated next door to the Mac house, sharing all the perks of its location. Book both to accommodate a larger party!
