Excellent cabin in the woods
Beautifully maintained and cozy.. great for family gatherings.
We were visiting for our son’s graduation from Montreat and had the best stay. The home was exactly as described, clean, and cozy. Communication with the owners was quick and they were very pleasant. We would 100% stay here again❤️.
Our stay at the cottage was very relaxing. Everything was clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed the covered porch and the proximity to Montreat college and hiking.
Happy Clan Cottage was a perfect home for my family of 6 staying in Montreat for a week. It is ideally located, comfortable, and full of charm. We hope to stay again when we return.

Well updated and appointed. Very close to all the action in Montreat.
The home was perfect for our family of four. We had a great time in Montreat and would not hesitate to rent this cottage again in the future.
Tracy was very accommodating when we needed to move date up by one day because of incoming snow storm. House had plenty of room to relax and enjoyed stay.
While the layout was quirky, as noted by the owner, this charming cottage was an ideal place for two young families with children to explore Montreat and Black Mountain. The beautifully maintained and restored historic cottage offered lots of room. Would stay here again!
Our stay was great. Very charming home, walking distance to Montreat College/Conference Center.
