Providing a relaxing, midcentury modern atmosphere that appeals to the adventurer at heart, The Gate House is centrally located to offer quick access to both Montreat and Black Mountain. With 3 bedrooms, all with Kingsdown mattresses and full en suite bathrooms, comfort abounds. On those inevitably rainy days, select a book from the owner's preferred collection, take a board game out to the screened-in porch, hang out in the garage-turned-game room that boasts foosball, darts, and cornhole boards, or settle into the family room that boasts a 75" smart TV to enjoy a movie marathon. For outdoor enthusiasts and avid hikers in the group, The Gate House is a mere 100 yards away from the 30-mile trail system that runs through Montreat and accommodates every skill level. The easy Gate Trail that follows Flat Creek winds under shady rhododendrons, along babbling streams, and ends at the gorgeous Lake Susan, while Lookout Mountain is a moderate to challenging trail that rings in at just under a mile long and offers sweeping panoramic mountain views. A couple of other favorite trails in Montreat are the moderate 1.1-mile Big Piney Ridge Trail and the epic 4.6-mile Graybeard trail that offers incredible views (especially in the fall during the peak color-changing foliage). After your hike, head into the quaint "Little Town that Rocks," Black Mountain, just 10 minutes away, to grab dinner at local favorite, Black Mountain Bistro, Fresh Woodfired Pizza & Pasta, or Que Sera & Tayloe's Oyster Bar. Before heading home for the night, stop by Lake Tomahawk to catch an epic sunset over the Seven Sisters Mountain Range and glistening lake. If you visit the park during the day, pack a picnic to enjoy alongside the water while you watch the ducks bathing, or take time to play a round of tennis and walk the elliptical path that surrounds the lake. Ideal for families, youth groups, and Montreat Summer Conference attendees, this cozy pet-friendly home nestled alongside the historic Montreat Gate is within walking distance of Lake Susan, Robert Lake Playground, and Montreat Conference Center activities and offers something for everyone in the group to enjoy! Please note: This home is pet-friendly for up to 2 well-behaved dogs with an additional fee. The two driveways provide ample parking that can accommodate up to 4 vehicles.
