Great retreat house in the Montreat valley!

The very best in old school retreat houses. Great location within walking distance of Lake Susan, Assembly Inn and Anderson Auditorium. The host of this house (Richard) was exceptionally helpful to us and we would stay here or at any of his other properties in the future!

Another great stay!

The Respite House provides a great space for rest and renewal in Montreat. The front porch is amazing, and the inside is well set up for conversations and relationship building. A great place to stay in Montreat!
