About this property

Montreat is as Close to Heaven as You Can Get!

Nestled up against Greybeard Mountain, in historic Montreat is this deluxe mountain cottage where you can feel the cool mountain breezes in the hot North Carolina summers. This house, built in 1997 was designed to easily accommodate two large families. Sit and enjoy a family meal at the dining table that seats 14. Listen to the night noises of a screech owl or cicada as you relax in the evening on the spacious screened porch. A fully equipped kitchen has everything you have at home and more, and a new home theatre system and wireless broadband internet provides connection to the outside world (if you desire it).

Kids enjoy hiking, rock hoping in the streams, playing basketball, tennis, or the Montreat clubs for kids. During the summer, enjoy throwing a pot on a potter's wheel at the Sally Jones Craft center or take a paddle boat ride on Lake Susan. Montreat Conference Center hosts a variety of conferences for all ages sponsored by the Presbyterian Church (USA). Hear a sermon preached at Anderson Auditorium by one of America's finest preachers. Bushwack up behind the house and catch the gray blaze trail that will take you all the way up to the Lookout Mountain summit.

Asheville (the Biltmore Estate, the Grove Park Inn and Resort) are 20 minutes. Lake Lure is 25 minutes. Enjoy white water on either the French Broad or the Nanahala. Skiing is available 75 minutes away. Drive 1 hour to the summit of Mount Mitchell, the highest mountain on the East Coast. Drive 1 hour to the Occunaluftee village in Cherokee. See live Shakespeare performed at the Asheville Center Stage.

Fun in Montreat
First, the porch is amazing. We spent most of our time out there, eating at the table, playing with the grandkids, reading at night and enjoying each others company on the rockers and couch. The kitchen was very well-equipped and stocked, beds were comfortable and the layout of the house was conducive to our large group of varied ages. The driveway

perfect
we throughly enjoy our stay,. the house was exactly as described and the kitchen had every item you would need for cooking, baking, and storage. We spent every night on the porch and had all meals family style at the exceptionally large table. There were a few questions in the beginning of our stay and the owner responded timely. If space, ease of use and relaxation are what you are looking for this is the property for you.
