About this property

Elevated Mountain Escape in Montreat, Elevated Montreat

Whether you need a place to retreat, reunite, reinvent or just a home base while you hike, bike, or make your way through Asheville’s famous brewery tours, you’ll feel perfectly welcome here in this deceptively large house.
Montreat, a family-friendly village that’s home to a 4-year college and Presbyterial retreat center, is packed with healthy, wholesome recreational options. Hike in the mountains on Montreat's own trail system, paddle boat on Lake Susan or treat the kids (and the kid in yourself) to the playground at Robert Lake Park: it’s complete with creek, crawdads, tadpoles and play equipment. Once you’ve worked up an appetite you can cook in our kitchen or skip the cooking and dine at Montreat’s Assembly Inn or any of the many restaurants in nearby Black Mountain.

THE SPACE
Relax and enjoy the spacious 5 bedroom 3 Bathhome in the heart of Montreat which offers a stroll to Lake Susan and the Assembly Inn. 4 minute drive to downtown Black Mountain or 20 minutes to downtown Asheville.
Free high-speed Wifi and Roku TV. Lovely indoor/outdoor seating available for larger gatherings. This is perfect for groups or families. Pet friendly!

Note:
We are always available for any questions or needs. We make our guests a priority!

Whatever feeds your soul, you’ll find it here, and you’ll count the days till you can come back for more.
“The regeneration of the individual is much more needed than the revolution of society.” Innovator, thought-leader and internationally recognized man of faith, Billy Graham, who wrote these words, lived and worked just a 5-minute walk from this mountain home.

Great house for Montreat Youth Conference

Perfect accommodations for our group of 7 high school youth and two adults! Everything from the bedrooms, to meals around the table, to the meeting space in the living area, etc., worked well for our stay. We definitely will consider booking again!

Soccer tournament

Host was very responsive and catered to our needs. The house was clean and welcoming. Only draw back was there are not 6 bathrooms, only 3 so with 12 people it was a lot of strategic planning on getting showered and ready before and after the games. Overall a great property, would stay again!

Easter at Montreat

The rental of this property was east and done online. We found the home full of character & charm. Only a few minutes from downtown Black Mountain. Host provided games and puzzles which the children enjoyed. The host was quick to respond to any questions or requests I had. Overall a very pleasant experience.

Perfect for our group

Visited the are for New Years with a group of 12 (6 adults & 6 kids). The house is as it appears in the pictures and descriptions. "No frills" but perfect for our group. It had all the necessary accessories and space for us to all spread out or be together. We had a couple of hiccups but the owner always responded within 5 minutes and even checked in to make sure all was well. He was one of the best I've worked with. Black Mountain was awesome and we were a short ride into Asheville. Would definitely stay here again.

A little quirky but adequate place

The listing states that the property was 0.2 miles from Montreat’s Anderson Auditorium and then we were told it was 0.9 miles. The listing also says three full baths and three half baths. There were no half baths. Other than a funky layout and very cold basement when the first floor was comfortable, we found the accommodations adequate and the kitchen was well appointed.

Feedback is a gift they say, so thank you Gail. We met all of the multiple messages, demands and exchanges with you the last few months with a service & professional mindset. We’re disappointed that your experience wasn’t a 5 star experience, so we'll continue to do better and work with VRBO so others can actually appreciate the area and property. Good luck and all the best.

Why they chose this property

I vacationed in Montreat growing up and dreamed of having a property.

What makes this property unique

Short walks to all Montreat has to offer! Only just over a Mile (3-5 minute drive) to downtown Black Mountain for shops, craft beers, music, bakeries, and all kinds of eateries. Black Mountain was named TripAdvisors "Prettiest Small Town In America" in 2017.
