About this house rental
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 (with small space heaters only to supplement IF needed). 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.

Lovely convenient, quiet location barely a 5 minute drive to Black Mountain and all the highways leading to all the wonderful places in NC. BUT, not for the mobility challenged. The long pathway from the parking to the house is a gently sloping, gravel path with a partial handrail that needs extending at each end. The porch has good steps and handrails. The interior has barely adequate lighting throughout and very few outlets, the 2nd floor is for the brave and agile only. The stairway is steep and narrow. There is everything you need throughout the house (and too much in some cases) but no AC or dishwasher. The kitchen could benefit from a deep cleaning and editing of items especially the total chaos of the utensil drawer and pantry. The stove works fine and there is plenty of hot water and the refrigerator is new. The first floor bathroom has a bathtub, no shower but a handy washer and dryer and lots of big fluffy towels. The deck looks good and is very handy with a gas grill, we had no occasion to use it. The owner is very easy to contact. We chose this property due to its location around the corner from our daughter in Montreat. We fixed breakfast only and were gone all day until after dinnertime, so did not spend much any time in the house. It has lots of potential but is rather gloomy in its present condition.
