About this house rental

Nestled in Montreat, this lovely house for $125 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. LaMotte Cottage has been in the LaMotte family since 1939. Originally built in 1917, it is now over 100 years old, with the history and charm that only comes with a century of good memories being created there. The front porch is great for watching the hummingbirds, and the large side deck can easily accommodate a pretty large group of friends. Nestled in the rhododendrons, and therefore shady and cool in the summer, the house is heated with a wood stove and small space heaters, should you need them. In the summer, it is cooled — quite effectively — by open windows, electric fans and shady trees. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and a bathroom with a shower. One bedroom has a double bed, the second has a double and a single, and the third has two singles. Downstairs, the living room/dining room, kitchen, porch, deck, one bedroom, and one bathroom with the original claw foot bathtub (deep and luxurious, in an old school, really old school, way!). The kitchen is well-outfitted, with oven, stove, microwave, drip coffeemaker, etc. LaMotte Cottage is the kind of place that invites long evenings of good conversation, jigsaw puzzles, and a glass of wine. It also has cable TV and high-speed WiFi. Montreat offers beautiful hiking trails, a lake, gift shops, and snack bar. In the summer canoes and paddle boats can be rented and there is a free community barn dance with live music on Friday nights! Flat Creek, just across the road, has a lovely walking path beside it and is easily accessible for a pleasant walk, rock hopping, or place to cool your watermelons on a warm day! A lifelong family destination for our family's summer vacations, it has shown up in poems, songs, paintings, and many, many stories. We hope you will enjoy creating a few of your own here and will return often.

Gracious host provided so many amenities down to the cinnamon shaker in the kitchen pantry! Even though the weather turned damp and chilly we were snug and cozy thanks to the dry firewood already inside and the numerous space heaters throughout. Perfect respite for us! Hope to return for a longer stay soon!

In the rhododendron valley that is a beloved mountain retreat. You can hear the mountain stream out the open windows. Excellent location to walk & explore from, as well as pop into Black Mountain for treats. Was the house full of irregular angles, steep stairs, lumpy mattresses, charm, one of a kind self-published historíes, family memories, board games, & dry firewood!? Of course it was, it’s a Montreat cottage! Nothing modern about it. Highly recommend!

Nice older home. Stayed pretty cool even with high temps in Montreat. We brought a couple of our own large fans to provide better air circulation, it really helped!

Lamotte Cottage adds updates every year while maintaining the charm and integrity of the historic cottage. It is a wonderful location in Montreat, the trees surrounding the cottage provide a sheltered environment and keep the house cool. The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking. There are added personal touches of books to read, music to listen to, and games to play. It is a wonderful space for rest and renewal.

This was a girls trip for three generations. The LaMotte cottage was like taking my daughters and granddaughters back to my grandmother’s home. Delightful!

We enjoyed our stay at LaMotte Cottage while attending graduation ceremonies at Montreat College which included our daughter. This place provides the experience and charm of an old Montreat house, it provides all our group of 8 needed for a two night stay, and we particularly enjoyed the front porch as a place to sit, relax and talk awhile — wish we’d had more time there for more of that.

This is a great older property within walking distance to Montreat and trails. We visited for the 7 Sisters 25k trail race and this was a perfect location for our weekend of hanging out and running on the trails around Montreat. Treat yourself and visit this place and area.
