Lavishly decorated and embodying all the Swiss charm of a gingerbread cottage in the woods, at Shenandoah, you'll find yourself in a clean and cozy mountain wonderland supplied with modern conveniences further complemented by the spectacular views that surround you. A stone's throw from the 30-mile trail system that runs through Montreat, outdoor enthusiasts will find a plethora of walking trails that wind through lush rhododendrons and along babbling streams and others that lead to sweeping mountain views that overlook the valley and towns below. Montreat is less than 10 minutes from the quaint Little Town that Rocks, Black Mountain, where you can sample beer at local craft breweries, dine at award-winning restaurants, and shop for souvenirs to remind you of your special time in the mountains. Known as the Front Porch of Western North Carolina, you're sure to spot the iconic red rocking chairs that Greybeard Rentals has adopted as its logo throughout this treasured small town that stand as your reminder to slow down, pull up a chair, and relax. If you're seeking a bustling day in the city, Shenandoah is just 25 minutes from downtown Asheville, where you can tour the iconic Biltmore Estate, take America's Favorite Drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway, and explore art galleries and studios in the hip River Arts District.
