The high level of craftsmanship in this beautiful home was amazing. The house was stunning in its location and design along with it being perfectly clean and well equipped especially in the Chef’s Kitchen. We all loved our stay in beautiful Montreat and dining at the new restaurant and market “Beradu” in Black Mountain. Thank you for offering your home for others to enjoy and enjoy we did!

We recently stayed at this stunning property with 7 other couples and were thoroughly impressed with the experience. The house was incredibly spacious, ensuring that everyone had their own private areas while still offering large communal spaces for group activities. Each couple had a comfortable and beautifully furnished room, complete with all the necessary amenities to feel at home. The kitchen was well-equipped for our group meals, and the living areas were perfect for evenings spent together. The host was exceptionally accommodating, providing detailed information and quick responses to all our inquiries. Overall, this property not only met but exceeded our expectations, making for a memorable retreat. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking to accommodate a large group with comfort and style!

We stayed in this home for our oldest daughter’s wedding. There were a mix of ages from 15-83 and everyone enjoyed the property. There was plenty of room for us to spread out and enjoy being with each other (or getting away from each other:-). I appreciated how clean the home was (especially the floors…I hate when I walk in the floor in socks and the socks become covered in dirt…yuck!—-no issues like that I. This home!!!!). Home is well story everything you could need and Wade is very helpful and friendly. The town of Black Mountain is delightful and has some wonderful places to eat (Pure & Proper and Fresh were a couple of our favorites). Highly recommend this home.
