Very nice great location! Need more info about cable available or bring your own streaming. Foosball and porch great for rainy day. Need sign for warning over bottom floor stair for low headspace. Some conflicting information between pre and during messages. All things considered, a wonderful stay in beautiful Montreat.

We had some issues, however Leisr Stays worked with us & had the issues resolved. We had 8 people the first week & 7 people the second week of our Mission groups stay as we came down to NC to perform rebuilding from Hurricane Helene. The house was a great fit for 8 people.

Very good

Only issues were lots of empty beer cans left in trash can by prior guests (or neighbors) and dog hair in all of the beds. Everything else was great and much appreciated. Regard's.

Music and Worship Stay

The property was very nice with the highlights being the front porch, back patio with Firepit and the Foozball game.It was a good size for our family of four, and could easily accommodate a larger family or group of up to 10 or so. We had invited another family to stay with us, and we are sort of glad they couldn't make it as we don't know them that well and we might have been too much on top of us. It would be great for two medium families that know each other well however.The location was great for the conference, going to the playground and stream. There are a lot of stairs- that is not unusual for Montreat and fine for us- but would be an issue for people with mobility issues. I think they make that clear on the listing.I give it a good plus rating, not quite excellent, only because the dishwasher was broken when we arrived. The manager told us that (good), but didn't make any attempt to fix it or offer any compensation back for the inconvenience. Also, while the kitchen was fairly well stocked, there were a few items (cheese grater toilet paper etc) that we could not fine and/or were it sort of short supply.Overall we would happily stay there again, although as I am aging and getting less mobile I might look for a property with a few less stairs.
