Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Dave M. 24 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Music and Worship Stay The property was very nice with the highlights being the front porch, back patio with Firepit and the Foozball game.It was a good size for our family of four, and could easily accommodate a larger family or group of up to 10 or so. We had invited another family to stay with us, and we are sort of glad they couldn't make it as we don't know them that well and we might have been too much on top of us. It would be great for two medium families that know each other well however.The location was great for the conference, going to the playground and stream. There are a lot of stairs- that is not unusual for Montreat and fine for us- but would be an issue for people with mobility issues. I think they make that clear on the listing.I give it a good plus rating, not quite excellent, only because the dishwasher was broken when we arrived. The manager told us that (good), but didn't make any attempt to fix it or offer any compensation back for the inconvenience. Also, while the kitchen was fairly well stocked, there were a few items (cheese grater toilet paper etc) that we could not fine and/or were it sort of short supply.Overall we would happily stay there again, although as I am aging and getting less mobile I might look for a property with a few less stairs. ##### Dave M. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew H. 7 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a fantastic stay! Thank you so much for a perfect place to be based from while going out on hikes, walking through town, and more! Thank you for being quick and easy to communicate with along the way! ##### Andrew H. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Carlton W. 7 Jul 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very good Only issues were lots of empty beer cans left in trash can by prior guests (or neighbors) and dog hair in all of the beds. Everything else was great and much appreciated. Regard's. ##### Carlton W.
