Stairs- not suitable for wheelchairs Low ceiling to basement This property is ensconced in nature; anticipate bugs, bears, and other wildlife. Please don’t leave food out that will attract animals. Tight parking for more than two large vehicles. Additional off-site parking is available within walking distance. Pet-friendly, not suitable for those with allergies. Montreat is surrounded by an immense amount of diverse plants and animals, which include deer, foxes, coyotes, raccoons, opossum, insects, and of course BEARS. Do not leave food and drinks outside on the porches and back deck. When using the propane grill, remember to pull the grill away from the house 3 feet, and when finished, clean it and turn off the tank. The grilling utensils are hanging in the kitchen cabinet. Quiet hours are from 10pm to 7am. Beds Sheets and towels are provided. In the den with the adjoining full bathroom, next to the bottom of the stairs, the pullout queen bed has bedding stored underneath the end of the sofa. Lift the cushion up to locate the storage. On the front side of the sofa, look for two straps, and pull both towards yourself, to lift the pull-out section, making the sofa a queen bed. In the tv living room, the navy blue sofa is the second pullout sofa. Remove the seat cushions and pull the orange strap to lift the sofa bed out. Additional bedding for the tv living room queen pullout is located in the cedar chest. Each bed has a mattress pad and mattress protector already on the bed. Sets of sheets will be either folded on each bed or in a drawer below the bed. The twin trundle beds have two mattresses, one on top of the either. To pull out the trundle bed, start in the center of the bed frame, and pull the trundle out. It may take one or two people to pull from the center of the trundle (above the drawers), while someone else keeps the rest of the bed stationary by holding the corners of the bed frame. Try not to wiggle the trundle out, because this will cause the slats to misalign and push against one another, making it difficult to push the trundle in or possibly damaging it. Once the trundle is entirely out , pull the top mattress off, the other mattress, and the two fit side by side, making two twins or one king. Please do not allow a dog on the beds. No one under the age of six on the bunk bed ladders. FAST, LOCAL SERVICE Customer service is the cornerstone of our business.

(Reviews don’t lie!) We look forward to welcoming you to Montreat and the Black Mountain area! About Montreat: Montreat is surrounded by approximately 2,500 acres of pristine wilderness that are permanently protected and will never be developed. The landmass of the Montreat community, as a whole, is approximately 4,000 acres and is an important corridor for access to the wilderness beyond its borders. Conserving the Montreat wilderness is significant to the ecology of the entire region, including neighboring mountain preserves - the North Fork Watershed Natural Area, the Pisgah National Forest - and several thousand acres of private land surrounding Montreat's wilderness border. Adjoining these large tracts of contiguous land are the Blue Ridge National Scenic Byway, Mt. Mitchell State Park, Middle Creek Research Natural Area, and the Black Mountain Natural Area. The Montreat Wilderness area makes a significant contribution to this larger " macro-preserve." To help protect this land and the entire Montreat valley, Montreat has teamed up with other organizations to create the Montreat Landcare Committee. Together we can keep this place special not only for our visitors, but also for our residents, our wildlife, and all of our future generations. Please visit the Montreat Landcare website for updates on our partners, our projects, and opportunities to volunteer. What to do in and around Montreat: For all of the Summer Schedules and Fun things to do, please refer to This Week in Montreat. TWIM is an online resource that features a calendar of upcoming conferences, programs, events, as well as an overview of hikes, trailhead locations, accommodations, dining, recreation, etc. There are a variety of blogs, trail maps and photo galleries on this website. Paper schedules and club schedules are located at the Assembly Inn lobby, Anderson Auditorium lobby, and the Montreat Store. About Black Mountain: Black Mountain, originally called “Grey Eagle,” was a tiny agrarian village in the Blue Ridge Mountains until the coming of the railroad in 1879, an event that changed the face of the community forever. Trains brought visitors from hotter climes to the cool mountain air of the Blue Ridge, and Black Mountain quickly became a popular tourist destination. Inns and boarding houses sprang up to serve the new visitors and residents. Among those investors were people who developed the many religious retreats and conference centers, such as Montreat, YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly, and Ridgecrest. Today the Swannanoa Valley is home to seven such major conference centers. Parking Please park on the street side in front of the house which fits 2-3 cars. Additional parking is available in the lot at Anderson auditorium (3-5 minute walk). Be mindful of our neighbor, Mari’s, and do not block the driveway across the street at the yellow house. It is possible to park 2-3 small to midsize along the stone wall, beginning at the green metal bear bin (trash & recycling) with ”215 Alabama” on the side. Park vehicles as close to the stone wall as possible, so Mari can get in and out of her driveway, and so emergency vehicles can still pass. Do not park in front of the neighbors’ homes or their stairs. If your group has a large suvs , a passenger van and or a church bus, these vehicles may have difficulty fitting in front of 215 Alabama Terrace, if additional if midsize to large vehicles are also parked along the stone wall. We strongly encourage our guests to plan ahead and park large vehicles at Anderson Auditorium during the length of a stay. Three-story home with several staircases, and steps up to the house. There is no elevator. Guests have access to the entire property. Keyless entry. Like many Montreat homes, there are 20+ steps to enter the home from the parking area below the house. Showers are located on the top floor and basement area, requiring stair climbs to both. If you, or someone in your party has difficulty with walking or climbing stairs, you may want to take this into consideration. OTHER DETAILS: One bedroom is furnished with bunk beds, allowing us to accommodate youth groups and families, alike. Please take a moment to view all of the photos, as the bedding arrangements may not work for some (elderly, couples, etc). DINING - Dining table has chairs for up to 8 and 2 more at kitchen bar.
