Cozy Mountain Cabin with Modern Amenities

Built in 1924, Idlewood has maintained its original charm and grace for almost 100 years. This 5 bedroom 3 bath natural wood house was recently updated with HVAC, updated kitchen, and a general facelift. The large living room with stone fireplace is the perfect place to enjoy friends and family...or retreat to the peaceful covered porch with rocking chairs, porch swings, and a view of lookout mountain. A large backyard is perfect for grilling, corn hole, or even an outdoor movie night. Located in the center of Montreat, Idlewood is an easy 3-5 minute walk to Lake Susan, tennis courts, the barn, and dozens of hiking trails.

Location - Idlewood is centrally located in Montreat. We are walking distance to everything in Montreat (tennis, Lake Susan, Robert Lake Park, etc), a 5 minute drive to Black Mountain town center, and a 20 minute drive to downtown Asheville and Biltmore.

Features - Updated in 2020, this air conditioned home features wonderful outdoor spaces, antiques, comfortable sleeping areas, an updated kitchen, hardwood floors, wood walls and ceilings a 100 year old stone fireplace, and is located in the ideal Montreat location.

About the host

Hosted by Margaret Bouknight Bauer and Daisy Bouknight Miller

Host profile image
Sisters, small business co-owners, and 4th generation Montreaters, we wanted to give our families the opportunity to experience summers and off-season weekends in this beautiful place. We live less than 3 hours away and come up often to stay in our nearby family home. In order to have more flexibility, we purchased Idlewood and gave it a new life. We consider Montreat to be our second home. We hope you will love this place as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

Montreat is the perfect vacation spot for families and adult groups alike. So much to do here. Idlewood is ideally located in the Valley of Montreat on a quiet street just of the beaten path, close to all attractions, activities, and hiking trails, and a 20 minute drive to downtown Asheville.

What makes this property unique

Growing up summers in the Montreat home across the street, we were close friends with the family who owned Idlewood and spent as much time here as in our own house. When the family reached out with an opportunity to purchase Idlewood, it was a no-brainer. We have always loved the unique, log-cabin feel of this home and the coziness of the living spaces. Although we purchased in 2020, it has always felt like home to us.

We love relaxing on the covered porch, grilling on the back patio, watching our children entertain friends in the big grassy back yard (even movie nights out there!), and cooking family meals to be served in the classic 100 year old dining room.
