It is destined to be one of the most popular homes in our Yonder luxury portfolio, and is quickly becoming one of the most requested!

The home affords year round access, via state maintained roads right up to the gates of Montreat. The home is situated in the heart of the historic Montreat community, affording safe places for kids to play & explore, adults to take a hike or leisurely walk, and for everyone to relax & enjoy the world class views, hiking and biking trails and much more!

Come enjoy everything that Rustic Timber has to offer inside this vacation home. That is of course if you can tear yourself away from the views & soaking in spectacle of the Blue Ridge Mountains, & actually venture inside!) The great room, with a wood stove, and fully equipped kitchen, is where everyone will want to gather to enjoy their time together inside the house. But, if you need some “alone time”, there is plenty of space inside and out to find your own serenity. There are 3 outside porches, decks, and patios for ultimate outdoor relaxation.
You have a lower level Game/TV Room for hours of enjoyment and relaxation. Then of course you have the custom outdoor gas fire table & access to all of Montreat's trails, creeks, playgrounds, tennis & more.

The expansive decks are just off the Kitchen/Great Rm and afford additional outdoor space to relax & unwind. While everyone enjoys the home and community amenities, including Montreat Park, the playground, river, and more. Alternatively you can pull up a chair and take in the view, (the long range views are spectacular!!), observe the night as it fills with stars, and watch the fire flies come out to play in your backyard. Or, toast some s'mores and share stories, well into the star-filled nights.

Take a seat and enjoy the sound of nature and the serenity in your own private paradise at the top of the world. Montreat offers lots of acreage for nature walks and exploring, and other exercise on the mountain without leaving the community property.

Nice Stay In Montreat
Nice Stay In Montreat
We just returned from a 5-night stay for 6 adults at Rustic Timber. The property was pretty much as described...beautiful inside and out, could sleep a small army, was well-maintained and provided extremely comfortable accommodations. We especially enjoyed the wood framing, Tempurpedic bedding, gas fire table on the deck and the fireplace on the one chilly night of our trip. We spent quite a bit of time on the deck except when the construction project across the street was operating. We also enjoyed the relatively remote location – nobody drives by. The bedrooms were spacious with nice private bathroom facilities (that could really use some towel hooks/racks). We originally had planned on 8 adults but a late cancellation reduced our numbers to 6. The silver lining in the cancellation was that the great room, deck and dining table were suited more for 6 adults than 8. The kitchen, while well-equipped, was significantly under-sized as we found ourselves bumping into each other quite regularly. If we were to have a group of more than 6 adults in the future with a wish to hang together as a group, we would probably look elsewhere. In our opinion, the biggest flaw with Rustic Timber is the driveway. We can appreciate that building a house into a hillside is challenging but there had to have been a better option for the driveway engineering. It is extremely steep (perhaps 45˚) and the parking logistics were awkward at best. In terms of value, Rustic Timber is pricy but does provide high quality accommodations so we see value as reasonable. In case the owners read this review: You have a 125' tall tree that looks to be either dead or dying out front which will cause significant damage to the house should it fall the wrong way (NE). If it falls, it will also take out the power lines so maybe you can coerce your utility company into removing it. It will not be an easy job. Also might consider some carpenter bee traps as they are quite fond of the wooden beams.

Beautiful, brand new home with awesome fireplaces, gorgeous deck
Beautiful, brand new home with awesome fireplaces, gorgeous deck
Stayed here with a few families, and it was perfect. Gorgeous house, newly built. The decks are awesome, and are the main outdoor space to hang out in (no yard otherwise). There are several fireplaces in the house, including a gas one in the master bedroom. The ping pong table was a hit with the kids. I will say that while all the roads getting up there are paved, they can be quite steep or winding, so just know that; it comes with going to the mountains.

The cleanliness did not meet expectations. While looking for ceiling fan remote underwear & an empty water bottle was found under bed. The refrigerator had sticky smudges on it. There were flying spiders/insects in the basement bedrooms.

We LOVED the rustic timber. Accommodated our team and their spouses. Enough space for us to be together, yet enough space for all to have our own space!! Every room had an on suite. We would love to stay again. The only thing we would have liked is a bigger grill We loved the outdoor spaces. The fire pit at night!! Awesome stay!!!
