Spacious House, PERFECT Location,17 Miles to Asheville, Pets,View!

The sunrise will take your breath away each morning as you rock on the large front porch with a steaming cup of apple cider or coffee. Rocking chairs are waiting for you and your family to enjoy breathtaking views of towering Grant Mountain located in the clouds on phenomenal Mt. Bearwallow. Meadows roll gently down to nestle at the base of mighty Mount Pisgah framing a snapshot of grazing horses next to a postcard perfect pond. Only 20 minutes to Asheville & Hendersonville. Only 10 minutes to Chimney Rock/Lake Lure.

Kids can roll up their pants and enjoy catching crawfish and other oddities while discovering the magical world of nature. Grab a basket and spend the afternoon filling it with wild blackberries for a pie to go along with fresh mountain cabbage, apples, Amish butter and cheese, homemade jams, jellies and scrumptious baked goods found at the local farmers markets. Although we are located at a high elevation, take Fido, the kids and your walking stick and hike even farther up our mountain road and enjoy a picnic and the ever changing scenery of autumn leaves or spring flowers. In the fall, there is no need to run the air conditioning since the breezes are always cool, so snuggle under a cozy blanket and sleep to the serenade of the creek running down the mighty mountain and the echoes of a thunderstorm rolling in from over the gorge.

Explore the Biltmore House and shop in the Village, but don't forget to take the kids and pan for gold, enjoy wonderful barbeque, homemade ice cream and all the unique shops (as well as drive to the of Chimney Rock! Whether its beautiful waterfalls or hiking, biking, boating, golfing, shopping or swimming, we know that you'll agree that it is definitely God's country and we welcome you to be our guest.

Nice getaway

The home was cozy and as one other guest said, it is like staying at grandma's house. We specifically came for views of the mountain, but due to the time of season we came, our views were obstructed by the trees. Partly my fault for not realizing that, but would like to have seen "seasonal views," in the description. Loved, loved the creek beside it and the sound of that water. If we had had views, it would have been spectacular.

Great quiet getaway in a convenient mountain location!

We enjoyed our stay at Mott's Mountain Laurel. It was well equipped with everything we needed. The kitchen had plenty of cooking utensils, and there was plenty of space for our group. It was charming and reminded me of staying at someone's grandmother's house. There were family pictures on the wall and plenty of seating area.

A Beautiful Retreat

What a beautiful weekend we had! This mountain retreat was just what our family needed to reconnect, with plenty of space for napping, and mealtimes and games around the table. This is truly an old family home: warm, comfortable, inviting, and the view from the porch is impossible to capture with a camera! The hostess was available and easy to communicate with—we wanted to add our photos to her picture wall! We never took advantage of nearby restaurants or shops—we just stayed “home” and enjoyed the peace and natural setting, although the young adults did have fun mining for gems. We loved every minute of our stay here, and really enjoyed our surprise “welcome” gift! Thank you, Hillary, for sharing this treasure with us! It’s at the top of our “favorites” list!

Lovely house

Our family stayed 4 nights and we loved it. Very clean, great location, comfortable, and we felt that the Mott’s family not only shared their home but also their memories. We have never stayed in a VRBO that was so well equipped, they thought about every single detail, the house had pet supplies, including pet food, treats, toys, plenty of cleaning supplies, toilet paper, paper towel, towels, ziplock bags, all kitchen utensils that you could think of. We were welcomed with a s’mores kit, a soap/toothpaste/toothbrush/shampoo/conditioner/razor and shaving cream basket, and tasty wine.

JUST PERFECT

What a great home to get away from it all, yet remain close to everything you need. The home was quiet, clean, roomy, and well stocked. Asheville, Biltmore House, Hendersonville, Chimney Rock, and Lake Lure we’re short excursions from the location. The Owners were great to communicate with and quick to reply to our questions. This was our first VRBO rental and because of this experience, we will definitely be using the service in the future. GO NOLES!

The house is very charming and a real home. Everything needed is there- in the kitchen, bedrooms etc; there’s even a wide variety of board games. It’s a treat to enjoy the tranquility and the view outside, plus the delightful rocking chairs. The hosts are very gracious, easy to talk to and we are grateful for a wonderful stay. We hope we can visit again!

Fabulous mountain holiday retreat

The property was very well maintained, super cozy and if you like to cook has all the supplies you need. The area is stunning. The host was communicative as soon as the property was booked and sent helpful information ahead of time for us to help plan the stay and then to ensure we made it there safely, as well as a generous welcome gift! The mini van struggled to make it up the driveway so just be careful. The only item missing from the online pictures was the telescope, sadly was not there; but the big green egg was an amazing touch for our turkey! Super comfy beds which honestly is one of the things that sold me in the reviews, as so many rentals have great amenities with terrible mattresses. Not the case here, you will sleep great!! We also loved the history displayed and the antique items throughout. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend.

There’s a wonderful mountain stream running along side the house where the kids explored and played. It’s a great location that’s close to the Biltmore estate as well as Chimney Rock State park. We really enjoyed the house, the area, and the peace. We spent evenings around the fire pit making hotdogs and s’mores. The host provides tons of games for game night.

Lowkey, relaxing getaway for families

Our family of 4 had a lovely long weekend getaway here. Our 4 and 5 year olds had so much fun traipsing through the creek in search of salamanders and other treasures. The house itself had all the conveniences we needed - plenty of kitchen equipment, nice towels and linens, plugs for our electronics, and new toiletries and soaps. The bottle of wine and s'mores baskets were also nice touches! We had a hiccup or two during our stay (the dryer went out), but the owners were immediately responsive and made the situation right immediately. I wouldn't say this house has the most breathtaking mountain view, but it was very comfortable, had a fun creek on site, was within minutes from beautiful hiking trails, and was close Lake Lure. We will be back!

We booked this mountain house on short notice and are so glad we did. The place had everything our family of four needed in terms of comfort and convenience. The owner is fantastic, very responsive and welcoming. The location of the property between Asheville and Lake Lure make it a very attractive spot. I sincerely hope the owners continue to rent this place out, because our family would love to make it a regular part of our vacation routine.
