About this property

Shenandoah | Montreat Cabin with Screened Porch & Deck with Sweeping Views!

Upon entering this charming timber-frame home, you'll immediately be greeted by the soaring white pine post and beam vaulted ceilings and spacious open floor plan.

From the decorative wall plates to the refurbished rustic cabinets in floral hues to the adorably chic mismatched furniture, everywhere you look you're sure to find unique antique furnishings and quaint details. Lavishly decorated and embodying all the Swiss charm of a gingerbread cottage in the woods, at Shenandoah you'll find yourself in a clean and cozy mountain wonderland supplied with modern conveniences further complemented by the spectacular views that surround you.

A stone's throw from the 30-mile trail system that runs through Montreat, outdoor enthusiasts will find a plethora of walking trails that wind through lush rhododendrons and along babbling streams and others that lead to sweeping mountain views that overlook the valley and towns below. Montreat is less than 10 minutes from the quaint Little Town that Rocks, Black Mountain where you can sample beer at local craft breweries, dine at award-winning restaurants, and shop for souvenirs to remind you of your special time in the mountains. Known as the Front Porch of Western North Carolina, you're sure to spot the iconic red rocking chairs that Greybeard Rentals has adopted as its logo throughout this treasured small town that stand as your reminder to slow down, pull up a chair, and relax.

If you're seeking a bustling day in the city, Shenandoah is just 25 minutes from downtown Asheville where you can tour the iconic Biltmore Estate, take America's Favorite Drive? on the Blue Ridge Parkway, and explore art galleries and studios in the hip River Arts District. Whether you're interested in a relaxing retreat or an animated mountain adventure, this bright and whimsical cabin offers a tranquil and inviting space that's sure to inspire and rejuvenate you!

Family Gathering for Memorial Garden Service
A very lovely home in a peaceful setting, a short walk to the memorial garden where we celebrated the life of a senior family member. The accommodations were excellent. Parking was a bit of a challenge as we had senior folks as well as babies in car seats, so cars were being shuffled to keep to only 2 cars in the driveway. We loved staying in this lovely home.

Wonderful Stay at Shenandoah
This was our 2nd time staying at this house. It has plenty of space for our family to spread out, with comfortable beds. The kitchen is spacious and well stocked. We enjoy sitting on the deck and the screened porch, you can hear the creek in the distance. The driveway is a bit difficult to navigate with multiple cars, but you can also park at the top of the driveway and walk down.

Great stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Shenandoah. The pictures do justice to the interior. The house is well stocked, including "starter" soaps and so on. We did have one unexpected guest - a black bear who wandered down the driveway to the front door! There is a hiking path to Lake Susan right below the property that runs along a creek. Black Mountain is an easy 5 minutes away. Highly recommend.

Back of house has a connector to trail system! Also super convenient (short drive) to other trails. Near Asheville where we kayaked by Biltmore and shopped downtown. Loved the bedroom configuration with mom/dad with the suite and extended family upstairs. Well stocked kitchen. WONDERFUL rental.

We loved the location in Montreat, close to Black Mountain and a short drive to Asheville. Beautiful, comfortable home with the sounds of the river and hiking trails directly from the house. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Awesome Family Vacation in Montreat
This is our first visit to Montreat and we can't wait to return. If you have never been before, you owe it to yourself to come and check it out. The weather here is perfect in the summertime and the Montreat area is such a Charming Little Treasure. Shenandoah only helped to enhance the experience. The house is very well laid out and great for a large family. All of the beds are extremely comfortable and they have everything you need. The place is also spotless. We will be returning to this house!

Perfect Sanctuary nestled in Montreat
This was the perfect location foot our family. A spacious home away from home for our week in Black Mountain. A wonderful week of unwinding and quality family time. We especially enjoyed being able to walk to the town path and play in the stream.

Utterly delightful
This house did not feel like a rental; it felt like staying in someone’s beautifully curated home. We enjoyed one of the best holidays we’ve ever spent as a family here. There are walking and hiking trails accessible from the house, and just being in the home was dreamy - beautiful and comfortable furnishings, very well- equipped kitchen, great location. We hope to be back soon!

30 year college reunion
We had 7 women staying at the property. It was perfect! We couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful the home was. The kitchen was well equipped, the living room was cozy and comfortable. We loved the fireplace, kept it going the entire weekend with the stock of firewood provided. Can’t wait to go back!

Wonderful!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an amazing time here. The Cabin was incredibly well equipped. We had trouble finding the driveway at first (in the dark) and the house wasn't easy to identify in the dark but that would be the ONLY downside. We were informed ahead of time that the oven was not functioning which was a bit of a bummer considering we were planning on cooking, but we were able to work around this and Greybeard was very considerate about informing us. Instructions were clear throughout the home as well, as far as how to prepare for checkout and what light switches controlled which lights. The house and views were gorgeous, clean, and accommodating. The trails surrounding the house were great for dog walking (our overheated florida dogs had a BLAST!). The location was lovely and I will definitely plan another stay in the future.

Family trip to the mountains
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Two of my sisters, their spouses, my husband and I, and another couple spent four nights at Shenandoah. The house was spotless and exactly as described. It is quite charming and comfortable for a group. We had hoped to stay in Asheville but the house we selected fell through and we selected this house in Montreat. It was a very different experience but we all enjoyed staying in a more rural area. I would definitely recommend Shenandoah and Greybeard to friends. I hope to return myself!

Best family vacation ever!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I called Greybeard Rentals months ago after looking at numerous rental houses in the Asheville area online. The staff there was excellent. She steered me to Shenandoah in Montreat and it exceeded all expectations. I had a long list of requirements - beds and baths for my husband and I and 2 adult children; near fishing; near hiking; private and quiet. She gave us all that in a beautiful house inside and out as well as proximity to great restaurants and shops in Black Mountain. We all had a truly outstanding experience. So good we have already booked for next year!
