About BMS
Glen and Karyn would like to welcome you to “Black Mountain Side”, a new home completed in January of 2023. We’ve designed a wonderfully adorned, modern home with complementary rustic, farmhouse and industrial décor. BMS will be especially appealing to those people who can appreciate the many hours that we dedicated to designing a warm, artistic and a bit whimsical home.
Speaking of warmth, BMS contains two gas fireplaces, the second of which is located in the tree-lined Sunroom. You’ll enjoy spending quiet time in this beautiful room, basking in the comfort and glow of the stone fireplace. The EZ Breeze structure allows you to enjoy nature, while protecting you from nature. It also provides the perfect social setting for sharing appetizers, cocktails or even meals with your family and/or friends.
Black Mountain has quite a few fantastic restaurants, shops and breweries. It perfectly complements the bigger city of Asheville. Black Mountain has been named the “Prettiest Small Town in America” by readers of TripAdvisor and for good reason. You can easily enjoy gorgeous views of the mountains around every turn and access numerous outdoor adventures within minutes of the downtown area. It’s just a few minutes from various hiking paths as well as Lake Tomahawk.
If you choose to spend your time hiking, shopping or tasting some of the areas fine local beers, you'll look forward to returning to BMS where you can end your day relaxing in the many interesting rooms including the spacious, tree lined, Sunroom. This enclosed room contains one of the two Fireplaces which will keep you warm and cozy in the cool mountain evenings.
The name Black Mountain Side is from the Led Zeppelin song. Being big Zep fans we instantly knew what the name of the house would be when we realized we would be building a new home in the town of Black Mountain. If you look closely in all the art that Glen created, you'll see a Zeppelin floating somewhere in the sky.

Perhaps you will recognize the name Black Mountain Side. It is the song title of an haunting acoustic song that appears on Led Zeppelin’s first album. Being big fans of the band, when Glen and Karyn realized that they would be a building a home in Black Mountain, they instantly knew what the name of their new home would be. With this knowledge, hopefully you can appreciate the Welcome Plaque that Glen created for BMS.
