Come experience the beauty and majesty of the western North Carolina mountains. Black Mountain has a quieter pace than Asheville, yet is only 20 minutes from the Biltmore Estate and other attractions in the area. We have quaint shops, art studios, antique shops and great restaurants, or you can head to the wilderness of the Blue Ridge Mountains for some serious hiking adventures.

Close to downtown Black Mountain, Cabin Creek is an easy five minute drive to most conference centers, including Montreat Conference Center and Montreat College, Ridgecrest Conference Center, The Blue Ridge Assembly (YMCA) and Billy Graham's The Cove Training Center. Many of the summer camps for kids are located nearby including Camp Merrimac and Timberlake, Camp Rockmont, Crestridge and others.

Lake Tomahawk in Black Mountain (about 1.5 miles into town) has a public pool, fishing, playground, tennis courts and community pavilion and club house can be reserved for larger groups. In the summer free concerts in the park draw the locals on Thursday nights. There is a great public golf course with the longest hole in the country (749 yards) and a public traditional English style croquet court.

Montreat College and Conference center is a mile the other way with Lake Susan providing the reflecting waters and waterfall that serves Flat Creek which runs by the cabins. There is a wonderful creekside playground and natural beauty of rhododendron and mountain laurel for inspiration.
