While everyone enjoys the home and community amenities, including Montreat Park, the playground, river, and more. Alternatively you can pull up a chair and take in the view, (the long range views are spectacular!!), observe the night as it fills with stars, and watch the fire flies come out to play in your backyard. Or, toast some s'mores and share stories, well into the star-filled nights.

Take a seat and enjoy the sound of nature and the serenity in your own private paradise at the top of the world. Montreat offers lots of acreage for nature walks and exploring, and other exercise on the mountain without leaving the community property.
