Only issues we had and there were only a couple. The ice maker was very slow to make ice. Need tvs in all bedrooms. Mirrors in the bedrooms would be nice and dressers to put your clothes in. But we very much enjoyed this place.

Delightful, comfortable perfect location! The Speakeasy is a great name for this place. Decorated in Victorian style. Lovely backyard space. Gas fireplace in the living area added a nice touch on chilly nights. Great bathrooms and nice kitchen. It is located two blocks from downtown Black Mountain making it perfect to walk everywhere.
