Cozy Home

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It was a good location in Montreat, close walking distance to Everything. The house has nice wood details and comfortable bedrooms. hosts were responsive. They are right that the layout is quirky with the kitchen downstairs, but it didn’t matter to us.

Perfect for church retreat weekend

This cabin was perfect for two families coming for a weekend with our church. The location could not have been better, and the children (ages 6-11) had a great time exploring the house and then grounds! The porch was a perfect place to having our morning coffee and evening wine! Although we did not cook any meals, the kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed! We hope to use the same cabin next year!

Wonderful cottage and host

My family has been going to Montreat in summers for six generations, now that we were able to get our granddaughter up there this summer. Happy Clan Cottage is situated in a great Montreat location for walking anywhere you want to go. Plenty of parking too, which was great since we had three generations of us there. We were so pleased with the cottage and hosts that we recommended it to my sister so she can get her daughters and granddaughter up there next summer. I expect we will be coming back to the great cottage next summer.

What great fun at Montreat

The property was very nice. Our family of 7 and one child enjoyed the time there even though it was too too short. The kitchen was well stocked and everything was clean. Beds were comfortable. The stairs were steep and I doubt would be easy for less mobile folks. Access to the niceties of Montreat was perfect. The Lake, playground, hiking trails, and conference center was just right. All in all much appreciated stay from the whole family.
