The layout is unusual, as they describe in the listing, so be sure to read that part carefully. This is a wonderful, well-equipped place, easily walkable to Montreat center. And we were delighted to be able to use the fireplaces.

We loved our stay at O’Neal Cottage. The house was clean and well-stocked. The covered porch was lovely and the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee on cool mornings. The parking path was narrow, but that’s to be expected in Montreat. We were close to the campus and enjoyed many walks there. We definitely loved our stay here and would highly recommend this place to others.

BY THE TIME WE LEFT MY GUESTS HAD FALLEN IN LOVE WITH THE HOUSE OF DOORS WHICH WE AFFECTIONALLY NICKNAMED THE O'NEAL COTTAGE. THE VEIW IS SPECTACULAR PERCHED ON THE SIDE OF A MOUNTAIN. PLAN TO ARRIVE BEFORE DARK AND IGNORE "DEAD END" SIGNS, OR NOTIFY HOUSEKEEPING TO LEAVE ON LIGHTS.
