About this property

Close to Lake Susan & Creek adjoins back yard Stained & painted 2022

THERE IS A GLITCH IN THE SOFTWARE OF VRBO WHICH STATES THAT THIS PROPERTY HAS A SWIMMING POOL AND HOT TUB. WHICH IS INCORRECT. THE GLITCH HAS EXISTED FOR SOME TIME AND TODAY SEPTEMBER 22, 2024 WAS TOLD IT STILL EXISTS AND THAT VRBO IS WORKING ON RESOLVIN THE PROBLEM.
WELCOME to the Jones Cottage on Kentucky Road; beds will be made upon your arrival. In 1990 the residence was "gutted' and redesigned by a Knoxville architect for both casual and fun living. Air-conditioning was added a few years ago.

In the last few months the cottage has had serious maintenance and repairs including new shingles, entire cottage stained, and trim painted, gazebo roof repaired, and master bedroom and bath painted with some repairs as well and the back porch and balcony rails have been replaced. Looks as good as it did 32 years ago .. in my view.
Located a short walk from The Barn, Lake Susan and the Huckleberry. This residence should be on your "short list" for many reasons, including the beauty of the creek in this back yard! The large deck can host 20 for a meal or is a perfect place for a nap or to cuddle up with a good book. We will let the pictures speak for themselves.
Bedding:
Two bedrooms upstairs with bath

charming cottage - great location

The cottage was cozy and charming. Through the screen doors, you can hear the creek, which we loved! This is an ideal location in Montreat—you can walk out the door and be at Lake Susan in three minutes. It was a wonderful weekend getaway.

Perfect retreat!

We found the perfect place to get away yet still lay low for a much needed Covid break. Loved the house - especially the kitchen. We were able to hike right from the house most days. Lots to do while socially distancing. Great communication with Meg.

Fantastic and Welcoming Home in Montreat

Bill and Margie's home in Montreat is not only comfortable and beautiful, but it is also a perfect place for a vacation for all ages. The home is in a serene and lovely area in Montreat close to Lake Susan and near enough to Black Mountain to enjoy restaurants and shopping. We enjoyed family time playing games, reading, and cooking in the well-equipped kitchen. Most of all we enjoyed taking in the beauty of the mountains. The house has a wonderful outdoor space as well. Bill and Margie were incredibly welcoming, and we were so appreciative of their hospitality. We highly recommend this lovely home and hosts.

Jones Cottage

My family has enjoyed Montreat annually for what will soon be three decades, and the Jones Cottage has become our place of choice. The location is convenient and delightful with the babbling brook behind the cottage. Its restful living room, the well-equipped kitchen, the spacious veranda and gazebo -- all make for a very pleasant visit that the whole family can enjoy together.

Such a lovely, welcoming retreat. Truly what you expect in this beautiful, historic gem of an area. This home is cozy and obviously loved by the family who owns it. If you are looking for a great spot to enjoy nature, hikes, a babbling mountain stream in your back yard , a beautiful and huge porch to gather with family and friends, Montreat is a great place to retreat!

Relaxing, enjoyable week in Montreat

The Jones Cottage has been my family’s preferred lodging for at Montreat in the summer almost since it became available more than 15 years ago. The large veranda and the gazebo provide relaxing, outdoor space for conversations, games, and reading, and the indoors are nicely done, with a well stocked kitchen. The cottage is not a fancy, modern place, but it has all a family or group will want for good times together.
