Description Description
Take a journey to Wilderness Lodge, a gorgeous Black Mountain adjacent vacation home located in Catawba Falls Preserve. Discover a 900-acre gated community with charming mountain architecture, year-round paved access, and on-site trails to several waterfalls, including the cascading Catawba Falls and Hemlock Falls, both located in Pisgah National Forest. Arriving at Wilderness Lodge creates a mindset that puts you at ease. Prepare to be transported to a hideaway of idyllic tranquility when you step into this Black Mountain vacation rental. Imagine relaxing in the open-concept living and dining area with the natural warmth of a wood fire. The stone hearth creates a cozy space for conversation or watching a movie. Try out a new dinner recipe in the gourmet kitchen, or hand the apron over to the grillmaster in your group. The wrap-around, covered deck is an inviting place to birdwatch, and the wooded mountain view comes alive with color in the fall.

Under the evening stars, a bonfire in the stone fire pit sets the mood for a romantic moment or a fun-filled time for the whole family. If your group enjoys games, the ping-pong table on the lower level is perfect for an evening of entertainment. Wilderness Lodge's spacious floor plan includes bedrooms on all three levels, an advantage for multiple families traveling together. The primary suite on the main level provides a sanctuary for self-care. Ease your aches with a soak in the deep tub before a sound night's sleep. This private mountain cabin rental is ideal for adventurous groups who want to explore the natural beauty of Western North Carolina.

Hey Giani, Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that everything met your expectations at Wilderness Ridge. We're thrilled your family enjoyed your stay.
Carolina Mornings staff
We had such a wonderful stay at this cabin in Black Mountain. It was exactly what our family needed—a peaceful, quiet retreat where we could truly relax and enjoy time together. Traveling with our three adult children can sometimes be a juggling act, but this space made it easy for everyone to unwind and feel at home. The setting was beautiful and serene, with just the right balance of privacy and comfort. We especially appreciated how calm and restorative everything felt—it was the perfect escape from the busyness of everyday life. If you’re looking for a place to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the mountains, this cabin is a gem. We’re so grateful for our time here and would absolutely love to return.

Modern, clean and peaceful mountain retreat for large families. Large open family space and well appointed kitchen. Great wrap around porch on two levels. Loved the quiet neighborhood, but its really a retreat, no walkable activities. Tremendous first floor master suite. Loved it.

The property was exactly as described clean, comfortable, and in a great location. Once we were settled, everything went smoothly and we really enjoyed our stay. There was a bit of initial confusion around the check-in process, but it was resolved and didn’t take away from the quality of the accommodations. I’d definitely recommend Carolina Mornings and would stay again

Very nice & well equipped home. Steep driveway however I think that’s the norm here. Host was responsive and house was very clean which are big priorities for me. Thank you Carolina Mornings!

House was clean and comfortable. It was in a nice neighborhood, however it did not have a view of the mountains. Only a view of trees. This house is far from both Old Fort and Black Mountain.

We loved our stay here! We originally booked 10 days but ended up extending to 11 because we didn’t want to leave. The host was incredibly flexible, accommodating, and quick to respond to any questions. The location was ideal — close to downtown Black Mountain and all its shops and restaurants, yet tucked away enough to feel quiet and peaceful. The home itself is a newer build, very clean, fresh, and thoughtfully designed. The beds and furnishings were all comfortable, and the kitchen was impressively well stocked with everything we needed (and more!). We really appreciated the little touches — things like coffee filters, Q-tips, and cozy throw blankets made it feel like home. Check-in was easy and seamless, and overall the experience exceeded our expectations. We’d absolutely recommend this place and would love to stay here again in the future.
