Large 100-year-old family cottage, claw-foot bathtub & lots of deck and porch!

The cottage was very comfortable and we loved the old fashioned charm.

We did not see anywhere in the description that the only source of heat was a wood stove which we could not easily use and the space heaters tripped the breakers and we were so cold we got runny noses and were miserable and ended up staying at a hotel instead, and hosts would not allow a refund or credit when requested. We were attending the marriage retreat event at the Ridgecrest Convention Center and had a horrible experience freezing during what was supposed to be a romantic, wonderful, stress-free weekend with our spouses and coworkers.

Fantastic home in great little mountain town

We loved the

Overall great experience. Reached out to the host ahead of time and they were very responsive. House was in good shape for an older place and the little touches around the house were great. (Rocking chairs on porch loved). Only thing I would point out is if you show up after dark it is a little hard to find, no lights except on porch. Overall lovely home.

We had a wonderful stay at LaMotte Cottage. It was charming, clean, and comfortable. My daughter in Swannanoa came over to visit with her toddler and we enjoyed walking to the park with playground. A couple of friends came for supper on the deck. Thanks for the opportunity to stay at the cottage.

Love this antique and quirky home.

The house is charming. We were lucky that it was cool weather. I don't think it would be pleasant to stay there in hot weather. The dehumidifier puts out a lot of heat, but without it, you can smell mildew. I recommend adding a dehumidifier upstairs. It was very musty, and most people have allergies to mildew.

We invited several friends and family members to join us for my 80th birthday. When we arrived we found a very, very dirty house. With exception for the nice towels the house was unacceptable. After several complaints the deck was cleaned but nothing was done inside the house … dirty floors, mildew in the shower, messiness everywhere. I asked the agent to provide some improvements but was told no services would occur because the rent was so low. We rented the house for more than two weeks. No cleaning service occurred mid-way and no cleaning supplies are available. This house was not up to VRBO standards … not even close!

Very close to the park, we loved sleeping with the windows open at night

Lovely Montreat home. Quiet and peaceful.

This is a perfect time capsule from the early days of Montreat... Cozy, convenient, an excellent launch pad for family adventures, and a resting spot after hikes and creek hopping. The hosts are great about communicating.

We had an amazing stay here for Easter weekend! The location is fantastic, walking distance to Robert Lake Park and the Moore Center. Weather could not have been more perfect, we always love a trip to Montreat!

This cottage is a quiet, restful place with a wonderful porch and back deck and just the right amount of space.

Cute little cottage with lots of outdoor activities within walking distance. Parks, trails, creek. Shirt drive to Black Mountain or Asheville.

We had a great week, comfortable, and in perfect location for hikes and close to Black Mountain. Host was responsive, swift helpful.

There was so much to learn in the history of this home! It sits right on the walking trail in Montreat with the creek across the road. The soothing sound of running water can be heard from the two porch/decks where we spent a lot of time. This charming cottage had us imagining what life was like there 100 years ago. Eight of us fit comfortably, though for a stay longer than 2 nights we would have needed more than one shower! The kitchen had everything we needed, too.

This trip brought my extended family together at Montreat for the first time since 2007. The location of the house was perfect; so very close to the Moore Center and right across from creek access. We could not keep our 11 year olds out of the water! The plumbing gave us some trouble at first but the host immediately responded and fixed it quickly. I'm certain it was an unusal issue, especially as no other reviewer mentions such an issue. So, no need to worry. Even if there is a problem, you will have an extremely responsive host.

Location was great for youth conference and “clubs”. House was very clean and spacious!!

This is our third year coming to Montreat over Memorial Day and our first time at this cabin. It was the perfect location with the short walk to the park. The side deck was roomy and the perfect gathering spot for us and our family friends who came by for a meal. When it rained, we just moved to the covered deck out front. It was so nice having sheets and towels provided along with a washer/dryer. Hosts were very generous with clean fluffy towels, paper products and kitchen supplies. We told our other Montreat veterans about this property and will definitely be coming back ourselves! Thank you for a lovely stay!
