Fernledge | Peaceful & Pet-friendly 5BR Mountain Cottage

At Fernledge, your group can embrace the charm and heritage of one of Montreat's original homes. Hidden in a copse of greenery and painted to match, Fernledge is a cool retreat, despite not having central air. Enjoy your mornings and evenings on the large front porch and patio area, taking in the mountain air while sipping a refreshing lemonade or iced coffee. This five-bedroom home has plenty of space for your group to spread out. With sinks in all the upstairs bedrooms and hall baths, Fernledge has some of that old-school charm. A five-minute walk to the heart of Montreat, the location is perfect whether you're attending a conference or just enjoying your time in the cove.

Pop down to Robert Lake Park, Montreat's award-winning playground and public space, to play a rousing match of tennis or rock hop in Flat Creek. While by Lake Susan, pop into Ten Thousand Villages and peruse the ethically sourced handcrafted goods or The Montreat Store for all your area-specific treasures. Montreat's trail system offers several hiking options from easy to strenuous and is within a 5-minute drive of the home. Climb Greybeard Mountain to achieve soaring views of the Montreat valley or the easy gate-to-lake trail, Elizabeth's Path.

Cozy stay

I rented this house for my family of 5 and my mom, 2 sisters and 1 brother in law. We rented for an October wedding in Old Fort and the rehearsal dinner was in Asheville so this was the perfect in-between spot. The house is in a beautiful neighborhood within walking distance to lovely hiking trails. We did the lookout mountain trail vial rainbow road hike and there were amazing views from the top and we could walk to the trail head from the house!!! The house was perfect as my mom is 85 and the main floor queen bedroom with ensuite was perfect to make her very comfortable. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped although we did not cook there other then breakfast. I would highly recommend this house, the large front porch was the best part of this house!!! It was cool that each bedroom upstairs had a sink in each room. This made the line for the bathroom at night non existent. Again, I would highly recommend this VRBO.

Fernledge Vacation

We enjoyed the charm of a home built in 1917 with modern conveniences. The quiet and beauty of the surroundings, front porch, wood burning stove, carport for parking and unloading and close proximity to Black Mountain were all added benefits.

Beat the heat!

We had a lovely time in this comfortable, historic home. Very quaint as well as convenient to have a sink in every bedroom despite it being only two baths and five bedroom property. No worries! Kitchen well appointed. Front porch a true magnet for our family all day and evening! Wonderful availability of a range of hikes nearby. Tennis courts at the bottom of the hill open to the public. This home has dated but comfortable, well kept furnishings.

Girls Weekend Getaway

We really enjoyed the location of the property and the charm of the house. Very spacious and a lot of amenities. Very clean and comfortable. Only thing missing from the kitchen was a working coffee maker. We were only there 3 nights so not a big deal. Would recommend to a large group for sure.
