Stonewalls

Lovingly renovated and centrally located, Stonewalls is a beautiful Montreat Historic Home built in 1908. Like many of the homes in Montreat, this home has the feeling of seclusion while still being close to everything. Inside Stonewalls, historic charm meets modern sensibilities. Prepare your meals in a beautiful gourmet kitchen with a dual-fuel range, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a custom live-edge dining table that seats eight. Gather in the dual living rooms to play board games or watch a movie. The light and airy living room off the primary bedroom has a queen size sleeper sofa. The primary bedroom itself is complete with a king bed and an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower. The upstairs bedrooms share a beautiful black and white tiled full hall bath with a walk-in shower and clawfoot tub. The common area at the top of the stairs has a twin bed, there's a bedroom with a queen and a twin with a window bench, and the pink and white bedroom has two full beds and a small desk. The cozy back porch with a swing and grill overlooks Robert Lake Park. Take a short walk down the stone path to access the small ballfield, tennis courts, and an award-winning creekside playground. Meander the easy walking trail, Elizabeth's Path as it runs along the beautiful and soothing Flat Creek. Peruse the ethically sourced handcrafted goods at Ten Thousand Village or the area-specific items at The Montreat Store. Grab a coffee or hand-scooped ice cream from The Huckleberry and take a walk around Lake Susan, or in the summer rent a paddle boat or go fishing. Montreat's trail system offers several hiking options from easy to strenuous and is within a few minute's drive of the home. Venture into Black Mountain, an eight-minute drive, to enjoy the small businesses and locally owned restaurants that line the downtown streets. From pub-style Appalachian to authentic Cuban, several local coffee roasters, and fantastic bakeries - Black Mountain has it all. If you've exhausted Black Mountain's offerings, travel another twenty minutes down the interstate to Asheville - where you can enjoy several James Beard-nominated restaurants and the booming beer scene. Take a walk down the newly completed greenway in the River Arts District and visit the galleries of local artisans. Spend a day at the Biltmore Estate - touring the historical Home, it's grounds and gardens, and the award-winning winery - before settling back in at the comforts of Stonewalls. The home has a minimum 3-night stay and a minimum 4 nights for holidays. Linens (sheets and towels) are available for an additional fee.
