We had a wonderful stay at this 4 Bedroom, 4 Bath home. After a couple of days, we gained confidence in driving up the driveway. We noticed the locals do it with ease, and by the end of the week, my adult son backed down the driveway just to prove to himself he could do it. :). We did park our 3rd car at the neighborhood entrance and shuttled to the house in our two trucks, mainly because it was a small sedan (Ford Focus) and we were concerned about potentially damaging the under carriage of the car.
We had a bear siting near the back door on our first full day! He looked straight at us through the back door. This made us hesitant to grill out as we didn't want him to come back. I do believe we were in his habitat as the terrain on the back side of the house is straight up a mountain. Exciting and scary at the same time!
The sites in the area were amazing! We came because we heard Asheville was a great place to visit. We actually liked Montreat just as much, if not more; there are several good restaurants within 10 minutes. October is an absolutely beautiful time of year to spend time here.
