We made a last-minute trip to Montreat over 4th of July. What a great decision. I've been to Montreat many times in the past but not recently. I've forgotten how special this place is. This property added to our enjoyment. The property is secluded with a forested back deck with countless song birds in the forest. Out the front door leads to hiking trails up the the Seven Sisters Ridge. The house was clean and spacious and felt like home. Thanks to the host for allowing us to stay in this special slice of WNC.

I've stayed in this location for 3 years in a row and will sign up for a 4th year, too! It's clean and has everything I need to feed lots of hungry summer staffers every night. The deck in the trees is beautiful and peaceful. There are great hiking trails right in the back yard. It's just perfect for us. Bill is a great host - very responsive and attentive. I'm very grateful for my Montreat time at this special place. Thank you, Bill!

Wonderful deck and quiet retreat. Road to the house is narrow and only works for one car. Had to back up leaving twice. Not a big problem but something to be aware

Great vacation with family! House was clean, well maintained, and is in a beautiful location. Bill was also super helpful throughout the week and answered any questions we had. If we ever visit Montreat again this is definitely a place we’d look at.

We are regular visitors to this area. This was our first time to stay here and we've found our place. First, it just feels like a home, not a rental house. But the most amazing thing was the cleanliness! Oh my! Impeccable! My husband was a manager in a luxury hotel in Atlanta and is very picky about these things. He was blown away by how clean it was. Also, it's well stocked, and tucked back in a beautiful neighborhood. I have nothing but praise for our accommodations. Thanks for such great hospitality.

We loved our week in the little blue house! It was perfect for our family with excellent space and everything we needed in the kitchen and living areas to feel at home (great cooking tools, games, and more!) The porch is perfect for enjoying a morning cup of coffee, ice cream with friends, or doing a little work. This will stay at the top of our list for our next Montreat visit!

We have stayed in many homes in Montreat over the past 50 years and this was the best house we have stayed in. It felt like it was designed just for us! We loved cooking food together in the fully-appointed kitchen and eating and playing games at the dining room table. The basement is comfortably finished with it’s own family room. It was great for us, as a three-generation family, because everyone had a space to themselves. There were lots of games and movies. We also loved waking up in the morning with a cup of coffee while sitting on the back porch swing and listening to the birds. It’s a short walk to several trailheads. Wonderful home! We hope to come back year after year!

Beyond Expectations

Beyond Expectations

Our time at this home was absolutely fantastic. I agree with the other reviews that the pictures don't do this place justice. It was perfect for our family get together. There was a master bedroom on the ground floor for those who have problems with stairs, there was a basement suite for one couple, and rooms upstairs for the rest of the family. The owner was proactive in seeing to our needs. Our family loved hiking the trail that was right outside our door. We were close enough to town to visit easily, or we could just remain at home and spend a wonderful day in the mountains.

Springbreak fishing trip

Springbreak fishing trip

It started snowing the evening we arrived, great. The next morning we woke up to a blanket of snow and it continued all throughout the day. We wished we could have used the fireplace but we understood it's probably about safety. There were "tons" of puzzles to put together(we completed 3/500pcs, dvds, vhs, boardgames, books, etc I normally bring the items on our outings. We left most of stuff in the bags. Nicely designed interior. We were able to view kitchen area from dining table. Only one issue if you difficulty walking be extra careful a slight downhill gravel incline from parking to the house. I'm a shaky leg grand and I made it. Overall we like being close to lake susan you could walk there and you didn't need a fishing license at this time the lake hadn't been stocked in 2 years. The babbling brook in the backyard, the kiddies were hiking and exploring regularly. Didn't do any fishing because of weather all the grands are 6 and younger didn't want them getting ill. Lake tomahawk was near, all was enjoyable. Will is an excellent host they really made it a homey place.. may try another visit in future, God willing.

Wonderful family-friendly property

Thanksgiving in the mountains--it doesn't get much better. The house was spotless and had everything we needed. The house fit us perfectly for sleeping, although the kitchen is a bit tight, so we took turns😊. I liked that there are no TVs in them bedrooms! No T-Mobile phone service, but that was just fine with me. The kids had WiFi for their various devices.

Great Area

Great Area

The house is stocked with anything you can imagine. From 100's of VHS's movies to puzzles and board games. My husband and I came up for a workshop in the area and in the evenings were pretty mentally wore out so we laid around watch movies from our childhood and some we weren't allowed to watch as children. It was actually pretty fun. If you love to run this is a great area. Drivers around here are used to watching for people so it was very relaxing. Also don't miss going to the ten thousand villages store right up the road. Amazing store! Beautiful area we didn't get out a bunch since we weren't home. The beds were comfortable, TV upstairs worked greats, Kitchen completely stocked we ate out a lot since we weren't really here but you could easily never eat out if your staying here. If you have a large group it has a ton of beds and two kitchens areas. Although I didn't really check out the downstairs kitchen we mostly stayed on the top floor.

Even more relaxing than expected!

Even more relaxing than expected!

This house is wonderful and the location is absolutely amazing. This is a perfect location for people who want to really get away. The location is in walking distance to a great trailhead and many creeks and sights. You are within a few minutes drive to downtown black mountain which is a slow relaxing paced little town. The house has so much room and is so comfortable. We enjoyed the back porch and watching chipmunks run around and enjoying the variety of birds. A sweet surprise was that you can actually hear the creek from the house, which adds to the relaxation factor. The owners were easy and great to work with, they truly care about your visit. We will definitely rent here again. We loved it so much!!

Huge home with everything you need

Huge home with everything you need

The house is huge. We arrived separately from the rest of our party, and neither of us realized there was yet another floor to divide up! The house is set up like a home- but we were not worried about breakables or misplacing things as it is very orderly. The porch was a DELIGHTFUL place to eat and enjoy the sounds of the creek. This may sound odd- but the fact that there were 3 stories allowed for us to choose whether we wanted to sleep with windows open or not, without wasting AC. The description is missing one thing that might make it more enticing however. There IS A PATH that leads from the back door out to the main road (graybeard), allowing you to walk to Montreat without having to go all the way down and back on the road. It cuts off 3/4 mile of travel to sweet Montreat! We filled our days with hikes from the doorway, crafting clay in Montreat, Clubs for the kids and cooking meals in the fully-stocked kitchen. Wonderful week. CANNOT wait to go back next year!
