We loved the view so much. The bed was extremely comfortable and the hot tub was a great plus. We also grilled out twice and ventured out for some hikes. Would recommend Catawba Falls hiking trail. Black Mountain is also an adorable town and everyone we met was so friendly. Jan was great too. Very accommodating! Thanks again Jan!

We came seeking peace, a quiet place to rest. We found a mountainside home that met the test. The host, a kind and thoughtful soul, making our stay whole.With touches of grace and gentle care,they made our visit beyond compare.From every window, the mountains rise.A masterpiece under ever-changing skies.The home itself, a sanctuary, clean and bright. It was filled with the warmth of both day and night.For all who wish to find a tranquil place, with a view that time itself cannot erase.And a host whose kindness knows no bound,this is the perfect haven, a treasure found.

Jan was very kind and helpful and communicated very well. There was a massive misunderstanding about the house occupancy and we did not stay because we required different accommodation. Jan helped us find a last minute alternative and provided excellent advice.

West North Carolina Mountain Stay

We had a great time at the Mt. Admirals Retreat. There were beautiful views and a lot of peace and quiet. It was great to meet the hosts, they provided all we could need and ask for. The only problem was that we couldn’t stay longer.

Lovely Stay with Stunning Views

We loved our stay with Jan. The apartment was so clean and welcoming with a large private patio overlooking an incredible view. Great place for a rainy or sunny day of which we had both. Jan was an amazing hostess and treated us to dinner our last night which was most appreciated. Be aware the drive into the driveway is steep, but worth it!

Relaxing retreat to reconnect

We loved everything about our stay at Mt.Admiral’s retreat! The home is very clean, kitchen is fully stocked, and the view is spectacular. Black Mountain is a quaint mountain town with great coffee and restaurants, shopping, and hiking nearby. This was the perfect retreat to reconnect while playing games, reading, and chatting by the porch fire pit or in the hot tub. The hosts are friendly, knowledgeable about the area, and helpful. We hope to return soon!

Even Better In Person

Our stay at Mt Admiral's Retreat was fantastic; the space was just as advertised and the hosts have done some simple but delightful things like having lots of lights on dimmers and having all the bulbs the same warm color temperature - things that many may not notice but contribute to a romantic getaway for the weekend. We enjoyed our stay and we encourage you to book yours today.

Gorgeous Getaway

This apartment was exactly what we were seeking. It was immaculate and the view is gorgeous. The firetable and hot tub overlook the mountains and it is completely private. The hot tub was so so clean. We were barely aware our hosts were upstairs, and were very responsive.

A Special Weekend

Mt. Admiral’s Retreat was the perfect place for our anniversary getaway. A very private and secluded mountain setting amongst the trees with a gorgeous view of the mountains. The accommodations were well equipped and super clean. The bedroom had a very comfortable king bed and there was plenty of space with a full kitchen, living room, a sitting room, all with an outside panoramic view. We enjoyed having our morning coffee on the outside deck listening to the turkeys while gazing at the mountains. The host was most helpful with recommendations for activities and restaurants. After a full day of exploring Asheville and Black Mountain we relaxed on the private deck with cocktails by the electric firepit and finished the day soaking in the hot tub. It was a great weekend, and we hope to return.

About the host

Hosted by JAN NELSON

I moved here to the mountains from Key West ! I enjoy being a Host to people from all over the U.S. and Abroad.

Why they chose this property

Our gated community of Laurel Ridge is North Carolina's best kept secret ! We are 17 miles of beautiful Mountain roads . Right behind our community is the Blue Ridge Parkway. The views of the Mountains and Lake at our 4,000FT elevation is breath taking ! Many of our neighbors including myself hike our roads daily . Biking is big in our community . A few miles away is Black Mountain town and City Golf Course !!!!
We chose Laurel Ridge because we are less than 20mins. to Asheville and 12mins to The Biltmore Mansion.

What makes this property unique

Mt. Admirals Retreat has one of the best views in this area . Our truly unique wildlife experience here is priceless . If you are a bird enthusiast this is a "birds eye view" from your deck ! While we do not engage our Bears we do name them and their Cubs !
