Great stay!

This house was a great fit for our group of nine that was in Montreat for a conference — super conveniently located near Anderson Auditorium! It would’ve been tight if we’d had the full bed capacity of 15, but our group was just the right number to fit comfortably around the big dining table. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking your own meals, etc.

Happy Repeat Guest

I've stayed here several times now with my campus ministry group for our annual conference at Montreat. The kitchen is well stocked for group cooking and eating, and the living spaces work just right for fellowship time in the evenings. Can't been the super quick walk to Anderson Auditorium, either!

Great location!

We had a wonderful time with extended family! There was more than enough space for all 12 of us. The location near a park and Montreat trails was excellent for both our hikers and our Littles. Kitchen was spacious with plenty of seating. (And I loved the dishes!) Laura provided great suggestions for things to do in the area. We would definitely go back!

Always a treat!

We love staying here - the proximity to the center of all Montreat activites is amazing - kids can walk freely and experience the joy of ice cream at The Huck, playing on the playground, pickleball or tennis and so much...more. The house itself is super comfortable and well-appointed and the porch!! It's a dream to sit out there with a book and the backdrop of the mountains. Thank you for this "home away from home."

Perfect accommodations for our 2-family getaway!

We decided last-minute to try to rent a house instead of camp bc of bad weather predicted, and we couldn't have been more blessed in finding this wonderful home! It had the perfect amount of space for our group of 3 adults, 2 teens, and 6 kids. And the location right next to the playground and creek was ideal for kids. We especially enjoyed the large kitchen table that fit all of us; the beautifully homey handmade touches of pottery, tile, and quilts; and the roomy screened-in porch perfect for reading, games, and puzzles. We hope to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Laura Spangler

Host profile image
Tom and Laura Spangler, owners, have been traveling to Montreat their whole lives. They live in Winston-Salem, NC and are blessed with four children and four grandchildren. After fifteen years vacationing in the house next door, they bought and renovated 316 Texas Rd as a place to enjoy their growing family on vacation. They are grateful to the Lord for providing such a beautiful retreat, and are eager to share the blessing with others.

Why they chose this property

Tom, Laura, and their children have always loved Montreat. Their biggest attraction was the family they'd meet here, but they also love relaxing, hiking, and enjoying all that Western North Carolina has to offer. Tom picked up his favorite hobby of pottery at the nearby Currie Craft Center, and Laura's parents have a vacation home just down the road. When 316 Texas Rd became available, it seemed like a perfect opportunity, and after extensive renovations (including the addition of the beautiful screened porch), they opened their new getaway on Thanksgiving 2014.

What makes this property unique

It is hard not to like the house's special touches: heated tile floors in the kitchen and bathroom, a mountain view out of the master bedroom, the tranquil screened porch, rich wood trim, and attractive granite countertops. But the best feature of all is the people that stay there. We are sure you will find, just like we do, that whether for a romantic retreat or a family reunion, this house will be the perfect setting for sweet and lasting memories!
