Located within the enchanting valley cove of Montreat at the foot of the beloved Blue Ridge Mountains surrounded by lush rhododendron and evergreen forest, this charming, pet-friendly home nestled alongside Flat Creek is ideal for larger families and groups and is conveniently located within walking distance of Lake Susan, Robert Lake Playground, and Montreat Conference Center activities. Filled with cozy furnishings and pops of color throughout, there are plenty of spaces to gather or enjoy quiet solo time. Warm up around the wood-burning fireplace in the living room as you stream the latest movies and shows, enjoy meals together at the outdoor dining table on the screened porch, play a round or two of ping pong in the basement, or read your favorite book besides the creek in the sunshine. In the morning, watch the sunrise and sip your coffee on the front porch before taking advantage of the high-speed internet to answer a few emails and work on creative projects. Whip up a quick and delicious breakfast in the kitchen complete with a smooth surface stove, ample counter space & 2 different types of coffeemakers (French press & Standard Drip), and when you're ready, ride your bike or take a stroll into The Little Town that Rocks, Black Mountain, just minutes away.

Known as the Front Porch of Western North Carolina, you'll spot the iconic red rocking chairs throughout this treasured small town that stand as your reminder to slow down, pull up a chair, and savor what's in front of you. Enjoy cold craft beer and ridiculously great fried chicken at Black Mountain Kitchen + Ale House, or have a late brunch of grit cakes topped with local greens and homemade srirancho sauce paired with a rotating mega-mosa served in a mason jar on the open-air wraparound porch of local favorite, Louise's Kitchen. On the days you're seeking a bustling and high-energy experience, travel to the artsy and eccentric city of Asheville just 25 minutes away. Both Black Mountain and Asheville offer a number of art galleries, upscale boutiques, novelty shops, cafes, and award-winning breweries guaranteed to keep you entertained for hours on end. On your way back into town, stop by Lake Tomahawk to catch an epic sunset over the Seven Sisters Mountain Range and glistening lake. If you make time to visit during the day, pack a picnic to enjoy alongside the water while you watch the ducks bathing, or get active by playing a round of tennis and walking the elliptical path that surrounds the lake. Providing the perfect space for a mountain retreat, the aptly-named Flat Creek Cottage will help you fully embrace relaxation, fun, and fellowship!
