Updated Mountain Cottage Fireplace Deck, Gazebo & Sparkling Creek
We enjoy having adult guests during conferences.. this cottage was neither furnished nor designed for youth conference conferees. But for adults it is available including the women's conference, churches' week-end at Montreat, music and worship type conferences or just get aways to a special place in Montreat.
THERE IS A GLITCH IN THE SOFTWARE OF VRBO WHICH STATES THAT THIS PROPERTY HAS A SWIMMING POOL AND HOT TUB. WHICH IS INCORRECT. THE GLITCH HAS EXISTED FOR SOME TIME AND WAS TOLD IT STILL EXISTS AND THAT VRBO IS WORKING ON RESOLVING THE PROBLEM.
In the summer there is a community pool which is available, water is very cold, and the youngsters in the clubs have priority I think.
WELCOME to the Jones Cottage on Kentucky Road; beds will be made upon your arrival. In 1990 the residence was "gutted' and redesigned by a Knoxville architect for both casual and fun living. Air-conditioning was added a few years ago.
In the last few months the cottage has had serious maintenance and repairs including new shingles, entire cottage stained, and trim painted, gazebo roof repaired, and master bedroom and bath painted with some repairs as well and the back porch and balcony rails have been replaced. Looks as good as it did 32 years ago .. in my view. Located a short walk from The Barn, Lake Susan and the Huckleberry. This residence should be on your "short list" for many reasons, including the beauty of the creek in this back yard! The large deck can host 20 for a meal or is a perfect place for a nap or to cuddle up with a good book. We will let the pictures speak for themselves. Bedding: Two bedrooms upstairs with bath 1 Queen 2 Queen Downstairs I King Bed with ensuite bathroom.. only bathroom on the main floor and has a shower.
The house is not suitable for rental to youth or college groups and therefore shall not be rented to either. Cleaning fee of $ 149.00 is an additional charge as well as tax at 13% ( yeah, that high) imposed by the state of North Carolina and Buncombe County N.C.
THE LOFT IS NOT INCLUDED AND IS NOT PART OF THE RENTAL PREMISES. It is not included with any rental at any time without specific approval in writing. IF USED BY THE RENTER, HIS OR HER FAMILY OR OTHER RENTAL GUESTS AS WELL AS ANY INVITEES YOU DO SO AND ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR ASSUMPTION OF THE RISK AND YOUR AGREEMENT TO HOLD THE OWNERS HARMLESS FROM ANY AND EVERY INJURY OR DAMAGE THAT MAY OCCUR.

We absolutely loved our stay in this charming Montreat home! The beautiful porch and gazebo were the perfect spots for drinking morning coffee while listening to the sounds of the creek. What a treat to stay in such a comfortable and relaxing house! We loved our stay!

Thank you for your kind words. We love Montreat and are happy you enjoyed it as well.
The perfect spot for a family getaway! Super cozy and conveniently located near hiking trails, picnic spots and Black Mountain. Cozy beds, stocked kitchen and awesome outdoor area with creek in the backyard.
The cottage was cozy and charming. Through the screen doors, you can hear the creek, which we loved! This is an ideal location in Montreat—you can walk out the door and be at Lake Susan in three minutes. It was a wonderful weekend getaway.

These guests were 5 star renters! Please fix review of them
Beautiful house in Montreat in a perfect location! My family always enjoys staying in this house. It is close to everything and backs up to the stream.
We were in Montreat for a conference. The house is in a lovely setting backing the mountain creek and is very convenient to the conference center. It was very clean, very well maintained, and had top quality amenities. We’re planning to return!
We loved our time at this cottage. Montreat is a beautiful and peaceful place and this home was perfect for our family. The owners were friendly and very communicative, before, during, and after our stay. We will are looking forward to going back again soon!

This creekside cottage was the perfect setting for our family vacation. Inside was comfy and cozy, and the porch, yard, and creek gave ample places to enjoy the mountain air. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

Thought I had responded to your nice review earlier but it seems I didn't activate enough buttons.. so pleased you enjoyed your time and look forward to your return
My family has enjoyed Montreat annually for what will soon be three decades, and the Jones Cottage has become our place of choice.
The location is convenient and delightful with the babbling brook behind the cottage. Its restful living room, the well-equipped kitchen, the spacious veranda and gazebo -- all make for a very pleasant visit that the whole family can enjoy together.
Bills house is perfect for family . It`s right on the creek which was a lot of fun. The house has everything you need and is very comfortable.Bill and his wife were very helpful in answering any questions we had and easy to reach.

A big thank you... and how very much we appreciated your son's attitude with entering a cold house on a cold night.. do come again

Rain or shine this cottage has it all: warmest hospitality must run in the veins of the owners of this lovely, happy place. It has a livable, welcoming spirit with comfort in every room plus a creek rushing along the back that says welcome, come stay, enjoy yourselves. We did and hope to be back soon. Thank you, thank you!!

You may go to the front of the line... thank you for such a positive creative review. And we do look forward to your return

With much appreciation to our thoughtful hosts, we have loved another stay in your wonderful, charming, welcoming home. It's filled with a sense of happy times shared, inside and out, comfortable places to read, picnic and have fun together while Flat Creek rushes by. (A first rate kitchen matters too!) Location is another huge plus: easy walks to the best of Montreat, short drives to the Blue Ridge Parkway or Asheville. It has also, always, been a place of peace and rest for us. We are so grateful.
